I saw the post on DVDVR about this and thought it would have a reaction here. You can find pictures here and stuff here: http://www.gamespot.com/ps2/sports/wwxrumb...ws_6086261.html

 

Let's just say scantily clad is a understatement... more like stripper-esque

Konami announces WWX: Rumble Rose

 

Konami brings a woman's touch to the world of wrestling.

 

Konami revealed the first details of its new PlayStation 2 women’s wrestling game, WWX: Rumble Rose today. The game is being developed by a triple-team of veteran studios that should ensure something interesting. Konami Computer Entertainment Tokyo is partnering with veteran studio Yuke's, most recently known for THQ's WWE SmackDown! games, and Polygon Magic's VSL Team, who are respected CG movie specialists.

 

The game will feature a roster of sexy ladies to be announced later. At the moment Konami has only released information on two members of the roster, team leader Dixie Clemets, and Reiko Hinomoto. Dixie is an American who sports a distinct country and western look, as provided by her bovine-themed chaps. Reiko Hinomoto is a more modestly attired--modest being a relative term here--Japanese wrestler.

 

WWX: Rumble Rose's gameplay is slated to offer a mix of standard and new elements. While characters will have their own unique specialty moves, such as Dixie's "Dixie's Buster" and Reiko's "Double Moonsault," the fighters will have access to various fighting and wrestling moves. Reiko will also be able to perform drop kicks and German suplexes, that can be combined to create unique fighting styles. Besides physical attacks WWX will encourage some psychological combat as well by letting you disgrace or humiliate your opponents through insults, taunting, or locking them in a compromising position (no word on whether mud or Jell-O will be involved). Another unique feature slated to be included is the ability to change your wrestler's personality based on how you play. By choosing to fight dirty or fair your character will develop a good or bad persona that will be reflected in their costume, attitude, and playing style. Regardless of whether your character has a penchant for good or ill you can become popular and earn additional skills and moves, and more revealing and flamboyant costumes.

 

WWX: Rumble Rose is currently slated to ship this November and will be shown in playable form at E3 in May. Look for more in the coming months.

I've heard of this, but really--nothing is actually mentioned about the game or where it is coming out.

 

No gameplay details

No specifics on American/Japan releases

Nothing about what the hell the game is about. Fictional? Real? What?

 

Not too excited since I don't really know anything too tangible about the game.

Damn, when I opened this I was expecting an ARSION or AJW game. Boy was I wrong but not surprised.

 

I'd rather see Aja Kong kill some scantily clad bitch in a video game then see two "wrestle".

Don't ask me why, but I was thinking about this game today. Apparently, they have more screenshots up Here.

 

Apparently, they added a few new characters like a ninja, another generic blonde, an African-American nurse, and a Catwoman like female, among a few others I have noticed in my google search. Oh yeah, and they added a mud wrestling match too.

 

Looks like a possible guilty pleasure, whenever it finally comes out.

I really don't care if it seems like David McLane is creating the characters so long as the gameplay doesn't suck. Bottom line is that the game needs to be like DOA Beach Volleyball (since they're going for the cheesecake) - create a good game first, then concentrate on the T&A.
