Be cool if they end up being cheaper, but I doubt it will be. I want a stick so bad.

They might not be cheaper at launch, but I can see the sticks falling in price quickly due to lack in popularity.

Might grab a Wii one when that happens.

All I give a shit about is seeing a new Randy Savage promo (of any sort) and wondering if this means he'll do something for WWE TV. Fuck this game otherwise.

I'm not a fighting game mark but the game looks really awesome and fun. Really depends if THQ fucks it up.

Also absolutely love the art style.

I'll only buy the game for my 4 year old son and thats it. I mean the other WWE arcade style games didn't look this unrealistic, you can tell that this game is only geared towards children based on how larger than life the wrestlers look. I wonderhow many modes are gonna be in the game

I think this game looks like it could be fun. I'd probably enjoy it more than SDvR, at least.

At 0:56 in the Macho Man video, it looks like he combos one more into another. That could be fun.

#Destructoid on assignment #Previews #PS3 #Sports #THQ #WWE #Xbox 360


Before we get another Smackdown vs Raw, THQ is going to be delivering an over-the-top, arcade-style wrestling game in the way of WWE All Stars. This WWE game is about getting into the action fast with twitch-like controls and overly stylized moves.
You'll likely recognize a lot of the moves, but expect a very cartoon-y result. Imagine The Big Show power bombing someone which then results in the opponent getting launched 12 feet into the air from the impact. You can even juggle others like in traditional fighting games (e.g., Street Fighter).

WWE All Stars (Xbox 360 [Previewed] / PlayStation 3 / Wii / PlayStation Portable / PlayStation 2
Developer: THQ San Diego
Publisher: THQ
To be released: March 29, 2011

There are around 31 wrestlers that will be in WWE All Stars, and so far, THQ has shown off Ricky Steamboat, Brett Hart, The Rock, Triple H, John Cena, Andre the Giant, The Big Show, Kofi Kingston, Rey Mysterio, John Morrison, Shamus and Randy "The Macho Man" Savage. Two additional characters -- Million-Dollar Man and Ted Dibiase -- will be available exclusively through GameStop pre-orders.
All of the fighters are split up into four categories: acrobat, big man, brawler and grappler. Don't expect the wrestlers to have the same moves just because they're in the same category, either. Someone like Shamus will have a completely different play style in comparison to someone like Brett Hart.
Only one game mode was shown off -- a simple one-vs-one gametype. There will be up to four-player support that we'll hear more about at a later date. We were at least told to expect a wrestler creator system, downloadable content and multiple modes including one called "Fantasy Warfare" where players pick between WWE Legends or WWE Superstars to see who the greatest (virtual) fighter of all time is.

Controls were pretty simple from what I tried out on the Xbox 360. Y is assigned to your strong strike, X is for a quick strike, B is a strong grapple and A is for a quick grapple. Combos can be performed and a different move will happen depending on which direction the joystick is pushed with the button presses.
Players have an energy meter that allows them to use four different signature moves for each wrestler (The Rock's "Rock Bottom," for example.) These meters fill up faster the more a player uses different techniques. Performing these signature moves is done with a combo of either the X + A or Y + B buttons. These special moves also cause all of the action to go into very cheesy slow-motion.
Along with the energy meter is the Finishing Meter which is activated by pressing the left and right bumper together at the same time. A player can activate the Finishing Meter once it's filled up and if they connect, it's over; the opponent is knocked out.
On the defense side, players will be able to counter grapples/reversals with the left bumper and block/counter strikes with the right trigger. It's kind of a guessing game as you're not sure if the player is going for a strike or attempting to grapple. Everything can be reversed, so it's up to you to be quick enough to prevent an attack.

You'll of course be able to do things like climbing the turnbuckle, whipping players into the ropes -- you can even use objects like steal chairs, although you have a limit to how many times you can use a weapon before getting disqualified.
The other meter you'll be worrying about is your health meter, naturally. You're in trouble when it's flashing red and it'll be harder to get out of pins. One thing I liked about All Stars is that even a pinned player will have a second chance as a meter pop-ups for both players. The player that's pinning the opponent will need to try and fill the meter while the pinned player will be trying to increase the capacity of the meter, making it harder to get filled up.
Overall, I felt that the controls were very easy to pick up and play. I managed to win a couple of matches; granted, I used Andre The Giant against an AI-controlled Rey Mysterio. It'll be interesting to see if players use the Mad Catz Fight Sticks or Fight Pad for All Stars. I think the regular controller is a better fit, but I can see why THQ would want pro controllers.
The one thing I couldn't stomach with All Stars is the over-the-top look for the wrestlers. I mean, I get why they did it, I just think caricature designs of ANYTHING are always gross looking.

After the WWE All Stars presentation, THQ had The Big Show, Ricky Steamboat, Kofi and Shamus talk about the game. It was kind of cool hearing how the current wrestlers are honored they are able to go up against old-school wrestlers like Brett Hart, Macho Man and more. It's just as much of a dream match for the wrestlers as it will be for wrestling fans that get WWE All Stars.

Gotta say I'm looking forward to this a bit more now.

No divas in the game and each wrestler will have over 500 moves.

If I know the company well they certainly count punches and chops as moves.

Well yeah, but they will have their place as it's built like a fighting game so they should have different timings and the like.

Wait, what? There are 500 moves or 500 moves per wrestler?

Either way, it does sound pretty awesome. I LOVE that there's the different reversal buttons for striking and grappling. Wish they'd bring that back to SvR.

@ Hasney:

Doubtful. More likely the fighting game aspect is found in the combos and health system, we will not be talking about punishing HHH's overhead punch recovery with Rey's chest slap start-up. Returning to two different counter holds does open up a welcome meta-game and probably fits better here than SvR, which abandoned two-button counters last I heard(?).

The stick/fightpad shows that the left stick may have no use as well.

Per wrestler from the Q&A Destructoid did

Quote:
I later asked Mike how many moves per wrestler we would see: we can expect the average of 500 each. There's overlap, of course, but some fighters like Bret Hart have done so many moves in their career that they'll be doing more in comparison to someone like Triple H.

500 is a lot of moves for one character in any game.

I can't even think of points of comparison, shit's crazy. Even with overlap.

Maybe with 500 moves they're including combos. I just can't fathom how you can even map that type of move list unless there are a ridiculous amount of stupid position-specific moves.

I wonder if the game is only playable with the fight sticks & the fight pad and not a tradition game controller

Sort of looks like the Force Unleashed for the WWE. Just as long as it's not the Force Unleashed 2 then it'll be ok. Ohhhh yeahhh Macho Man is in a WWE game dig it?! Hall of Fame next? The game is coming around the time of Wrestlemania and the Hall of Fame. Once again oohhh yeah snap into a slimjim dig it?!
