Total Non-Stop Action

I think dude needs a hug.

[Matt Young 0]

Or some sleep.

 

Anyway, as Scrob-Diddy poinetd out, the game won't be out till September, and that's if they don't delay it again. I expect at least one more month so the release will be around Bound For Glory.

 

So with the September date, that's 5 months, give or take. At least 3 months, maybe 4 of development time.

It shows how long it's taken for them to do this game by the poster still being a picture of AJ Styles, Jeff Hardy and Monty Brown.

Some of that sucks, but the lack of Ankle Lock and Scorpion Deathlock makes no sense at all.

omg - way to destroy the hype for your game MIDWAY! It sounds so limited now, seriously not sure if I should buy it.

7 grapples.

 

 

LOL TNA.

 

The only people who will end up getting this game are the achievement whores. This game has some of the easiest achievements in a long time.

I wonder what build Gaming Ring has?

 

That said, I'm still getting it pn PS3. I want to at least support TNA's first effort at this.. and hope for something better the second time around. *shrug*

[Scroby 0]

Yup this just became a rental.

Looks like a $60 demo.

[WukenBloodstar 0]

5 CAWs Max? No Custom soundtracks? One Finisher? Fuck you Midway. Fuck you too TNA.

[Exslade ZX 0]

Lol, basically, buy the next one.

 

Was there a question that wasn't answered with "No, but we are looking to this in the future." Seems a pretty horrible effort IMO although I have yet to play it. But with years of Smackdown as a reference, first effort or not, there were plenty of small things they could have added to make it better, but didn't.

[Broward83 0]

Yeah, this just confirms why my ASM and I have been telling people to not buy this game.

 

Absolute garbage..

[Scroby 0]

Remember that Joe and AJ were really helping with the building of this game. Yeah, apprently they suck at helping.

[Obi Chris Kenobi 0]

I've still got my pre-order down for it. The fact its being released at £29.99 ($55 or so) should be a sign that its a lower grade game.

[DrVenkman PhD 0]

I believe the storyline for the game was also written by Vince Russo:

 

"The storyline in the videogame is Suicide was a superstar in TNA who was supposed to get a title shot and lose, but he didn’t follow the script, won the title" - WON

Have you watched the demo of it on XBL? I think you can kind of hear it in their voices as they're calling the action..

 

"..and another neck-breaker..." or AJ exclaiming that whoever is playing as AJ sucks.

 

The game is trash but I don't think I can blame AJ or Joe too much as their not in their behind computers actually writing up code..but I mean, someone in that company had to have realized that a bare-bones game like this wasn't worth a 60 dollar price tag..

Didn't the game have like a changing of house in the middle of production? Cause seriously, this is absolutely embarassing for a game Midway was banking on making them money. And the amount of time the game has been in production? You spend this much time and you release WCW THUNDER without the funny little voice intros?

They just can't code.

 

I'll wait for this game to hit the bargain bin at Best Buy.

From what I understood, Joe and A.J. were suppose to be giving Midway input on the game itself, beyond the wrestling moves. Maybe Midway didn't listen to them, but I would expect A.J. and Joe to give input on the features of the game not just the wrestling.

Yea, it's just common sense stuff like, Sting comes out with the bat...but you can't use it?

 

What the hell? In fact, the only weapon is a chair? Surely someone at some point in time must have said, maybe we should add something else. Even if it was still the same mechanics as a chair, just paint as something else, hell.

I can't believe all of that bullshit from before is true.

[Ced 0]

I don't know which banner to bust out to summarize my feelings...

 

Option A:

 

 

or

 

Option B:

 

[Downhome 0]

How in bloody hell do you not put in the ax kick, ankle lock, or the scorpion deathlock?

 

I mean...really now.

[Obi Chris Kenobi 0]

Canceled my Pre-Order.

So basically the excuse as to why the game is a 60 dollar demo is....*whiny voice on* It's really hard to make a game from scratch about wrestlers, but but but give us 3 more years and we'll release something worth buying. Maybe it'll still be fun to play, but seems like it's a rental for sure now.

[MillenniumMan831 0]

I'll stick w/ FPR. I have a feeling I'll be saying that through many TNA video game releases.

Sounds like a PS3 sales pitch.

[Guest Smues]

I didn't have any interest in the game to start with, but man what a clusterfuck this looks like. If it's as bad as it looks, why are they expecting to sell enough to justify a sequel?
