TNA
For the last couple of years, rumors have run rampant about a TNA videogame. First, EA looked to grab the license, but ultimately no agreement was reached. Next up was Rockstar, but TNA balked at the game ideas (you can't hit a wrestler with hot coffee!). Finally, sources now say that Midway has stepped up and signed TNA to an exclusive videogame deal, and it's no surprise as Viacom's Sumner Redstone has ties to both Spike (TNA's new home on TV) and the videogame publisher.

Word is that the game is in development for the PS2 and Xbox, and some wrestlers have already been brought in for initial motion-capture work.

It will be interesting what the creative minds at Midway have in store for TNA's innovative six-sided ring and matches like Ultimate X (wrestlers pulling moves off wires 15-feet above the ring) and Monster's Ball (thumbtacks, tables, and chairs…oh my!).

This isn't the first time Midway has stepped inside the squared-circle, but it has definitely been a while. Fans of wrestling games will remember that it was Midway who produced the extremely popular WWF Wrestlemania: The Arcade Game. The game featured stars like Doink the Clown busting outrageous combos with his Circus Hammer, and The Undertaker would even smack you upside the head with a tombstone if you weren't careful. Wrestlemania was designed by members of the old NBA Jam team, and some of those designers, including Mark Turmell, still work for the Chicago publisher.

No word yet on when you might see stars like Jeff Jarrett, Abyss, Raven, AJ Styles and Samoa Joe turn polygonal, but IGN Sports will keep you up to date as soon as more information is revealed about this title.

Well you know how i love Midway!

They simply cant make GOOD GAMES... PERIOD!

I will give them the benefit of the doubt and hope that they finally make a great game, although like a lot of people im not holding my breath!

Why they didn't give the game to AKI or even Rockstar is beyond me, at least with Rockstar it would be professionaly done and be fun to play.

With Midway its going to be some botch fest of a game.. cant wait!

Are you an idiot? Midway is one of the better game companies in the world. Nowhere near the best, but definately above average, and they have released quite a few great games.

Im no idiot, its time people like yourself woke up because Midway have one of the worst names in game development. Yes they made some greats back in the day like Pac-Man, Cruis'n' Usa, Rampage and so on. But by todays standards they are shit my friend!

Take a look at some of there latest titles :-

Area 51 (2005 first-person shooter)
Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance
Mortal Kombat: Deception
Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks
NFL Blitz series
NHL Hitz series
MLB Slugfest Series
RedCard 2003
Shadow Hearts (RPG series developed by Japanese company Sacnoth; Midway has since declined to publish the third game in America)
The Suffering
Gauntlet: Dark Legacy


Awe inspiring stuff im sure you'll agree..

One decent title - Mortal Kombat and even thats debatable. The NHL and NFL games they have made, aren't as good as EA's titles. Plus im pretty sure they had a hand in the old WWF game that sucked ass. Face the facts they are piss poor game developers compared to some of the other developers out there.

Does anyone agree with this?

First off, I'm no fan of Midway, but to say they are one of the worst names in game development is ridiculous. The simple fact you can name 11 games that have recently been released disproves your whole argument. If they were that bad they wouldn't have the resources to produce so many games, no matter how bad they are.

That is some pretty retarded logic right thurrrrrrr

Ok first up just because you sell a lot of games doesn't mean they are good at what they do. Sure they make profit on most of there projects kudos to them.

But do they really have the respect of gamers like other games developers such as Yukes, Bioware, Lucas Arts (recent projects), Rockstar e.t.c.

I dont think they do personally just from talking about them on TPWW, and other message boards out there.

I think they are one of the worst for the quality of there games and to me thats what matters. Not how much money they make from ripping off the general public, but hell maybe thats just me?

What the fuck, yes it does. The whole point of making games is to SELL GAMES, so if Midway sell a lot of games, I think they're good at waht they do.

Oh so you dont care what kind of gameplay a game has? Or how much longevity a game has?

One point of making games is to sell games I AGREE, however its not the only point of making games. Midways games have a sort of cult following but they dont sell as many games as Rockstar do they?

Why? Well because there games never get great ratings (which helps a game sell), and they are never really groundbreaking are they?

Personally i judge games developers by the games they make and how good the games are/were. Looking back at Midways contribution to the gaming community games wise, yes they made some good titles years ago and had a boom period with the MK games. But they will never be known as one of the best games developers in terms of how good their games actually were.

As ive said thats how i judge things and im sure a lot of people think the same.

The games that they've sold well have been gory games that sell for the gore factor - MK.

Or games that did well in the Late 80's and early 90's because people had low expectations.

Thats just my opinion anyway..

Of course I care about gameplay and longetivity. But if I was boss of a huge games company, and we are selling bucketloads of games, I honestly couldn't give a fuck if they are any good or not.

Well personally i would because i like to play great games. And id like to know i was making some kind of impact on the gaming world. Otherwise whats the fucking point? Moneys fine but wheres the job satisfaction in making shit games?

I mean im a graphic designer with my own company and i could make a fortune making quick, crappy average graphics but i dont. Why because i have some pride in what i do and i want to have a good rep, which i do at the moment. I want to make some kind of impact i dont just want to be another average designer y know.

Its the same thing in my opinion..

But hell thats your opinion thats cool.

Midway is one of the top game developers out there. They have made some entertaining games, even if they weren't groundbreaking. Pong, Defender, NBA Jam, Cruisin' USA, LA Rush, and Mortal Kombat just to name a few. To say they are one of the worst game developers makes you lose are credibility in my eyes.

I'm not saying this game is going to be any good but saying it will be bad because it's made by Midway is a stupid assumption.

They sell games, something completely different from making good ones.

Most of those games (The ones that made Midway, not particularly your list) date back to the 80s and before.

So what you're saying is that, because they were revolutionary 20 years ago, they're still the same. You know, because they probably have the same staff as they did in 1985.

NBA Jam was a great franchise butchered. MK sucked ass, but got a shot in the arm because of PC controversy. The games were horrible, but because people got upset over blood, they gained a reputation as a great developer.

Well ok perhaps not one of the "worst developers in history" but they do suck pretty bad!

And KK's right most of Midways credibility came from games they made in the 80's. The likes of MK sold on the gore factor of the game, no other reason.

If i remember right they released it around the time of the first or second street fighter game, now street fighter was pretty normal compared to MK and people wanted more gore, the press blew up MK out of all proportions too i mean i know it was a graphic game but they just sold it to people more and kids got hold of it.

All im saying is dont expect a great game because of Midways track record. The people who are making Pro Wrestling X would make a better game. Why? Because there hearts are in making a great wrestling game, now although they have 5-6 staff members they work around the clock to make the most of what they have.

I just think Midway are in it for the money alone which is bad for the games industry.

(Really? No shit!)
Don't know. 20 years of almost complete shit, in an industry that's only been around for about 30 years?

That just might qualify for one of the worst developers in history.

EDIT: DS, can you name a few people with a worse history in terms of video games? Instead of just saying the same line over and over again, which doesn't help make it any more true...Let's see you bring up a few developers who are truly the worst. Maybe Midway won't look so bad by comparison.

Nice list DS.

I think we have to remember that Midway also publish games and get 3rd parties to do the dirty work. I sure hope they do that here or we may be getting an arcade brawler that we don't want.

The thing is, the Blitz and Hitz games were never bad, they were great for 5 minute blasts, which is what they were supposed to be in the arcade.

Midway have considerable backing and i would say 90% of those are small independant software developers.

"PWNT"??? ..

I could make a list a fucking mile long full of software companies that are better at making games than Midway!!! If i wanted to that is..

Compared to that lot though they really are something special!

Seriously though i must admit its a good list
