Matt Young Posted April 25, 2008 Report Posted April 25, 2008 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.
luke-o Posted April 25, 2008 Report Posted April 25, 2008 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.

luke-o Posted August 25, 2008 Report Posted August 25, 2008 Some of that sucks, but the lack of Ankle Lock and Scorpion Deathlock makes no sense at all.

It sounds so limited now, seriously not sure if I should buy it.
fazzle Posted August 26, 2008 Report Posted August 26, 2008 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.
dubq Posted August 26, 2008 Author Report Posted August 26, 2008 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*
Angle-plex Posted August 29, 2008 Report Posted August 29, 2008 http://ps3.ign.com/articles/906/906229p1.html Looks like a $60 demo.
WukenBloodstar Posted August 29, 2008 Report Posted August 29, 2008 5 CAWs Max? No Custom soundtracks? One Finisher? Fuck you Midway. Fuck you too TNA.
Exslade ZX Posted August 29, 2008 Report Posted August 29, 2008 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 Posted August 29, 2008 Report Posted August 29, 2008 Yeah, this just confirms why my ASM and I have been telling people to not buy this game. Absolute garbage..
Scroby Posted August 29, 2008 Report Posted August 29, 2008 Remember that Joe and AJ were really helping with the building of this game. Yeah, apprently they suck at helping.
Obi Chris Kenobi Posted August 29, 2008 Report Posted August 29, 2008 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 Posted August 29, 2008 Report Posted August 29, 2008 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
Broward83 Posted August 29, 2008 Report Posted August 29, 2008 Remember that Joe and AJ were really helping with the building of this game. Yeah, apprently they suck at helping. 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..
2GOLD Posted August 29, 2008 Report Posted August 29, 2008 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?
Prophet of Mike Zagurski Posted August 29, 2008 Report Posted August 29, 2008 Remember that Joe and AJ were really helping with the building of this game. Yeah, apprently they suck at helping. They just can't code. I'll wait for this game to hit the bargain bin at Best Buy.
Scroby Posted August 29, 2008 Report Posted August 29, 2008 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.
Downhome Posted August 29, 2008 Report Posted August 29, 2008 I can't believe all of that bullshit from before is true.
Ced Posted August 30, 2008 Report Posted August 30, 2008 I don't know which banner to bust out to summarize my feelings... Option A: or Option B:
Downhome Posted August 30, 2008 Report Posted August 30, 2008 How in bloody hell do you not put in the ax kick, ankle lock, or the scorpion deathlock? I mean...really now.
The Buzz Posted August 30, 2008 Report Posted August 30, 2008 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 Posted August 30, 2008 Report Posted August 30, 2008 I'll stick w/ FPR. I have a feeling I'll be saying that through many TNA video game releases.

Guest Smues Posted August 30, 2008 Report Posted August 30, 2008 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?
