TNA iMPACT! game

[T4]

So as you all know, Midway is making a TNA iMPACT! game to i guess you could say "compete" with SVR2008. Hopefully, Midway makes good gameplay and gives it the No Mercy feel like we all love.

It's funny because all these years its always "I CANT WAIT FOR SVR!!!!!!" but now its all about TNA for me.

If you havent seen screenshots, here's a link to some so can can see how well they recreated the guys.

WARNING: YOU WILL NEED A NEW PAIR OF PANTS AFTER VIEWING THOSE SCREENSHOTS!

Wow i love how it looks.
Specially the crowd.
Good thing they didnt make a gigantic, packed arena; and being able to fight in Japan and England will own.

Cant wait for it.

Cant leave the ring area? No referees? Thats crap, although the rest sounds lovely.

from what i have seen, heard and read it's shaping up quite nicely. the high flying and dives animations look bad ass, and don't look over shot such as the wwe games. which has always been a problem for me.

he arena's and models look very nice for a first true and the inclusion of ultimate x probably one of the best gimmick matches around is enough to get me to buy

my predicted roster

* Abyss
* Kurt Angle
* Christian Cage
* Christopher Daniels
* Sonjay Dutt
* Chris Harris
* Hernandez
* Homicide
* Scott Steiner
* Jay Lethal
* Rhino
* Chris Sabin
* Samoa Joe
* Senshi
* Alex Shelley
* Sting
* James Storm
* A.J. Styles
* Tomko
* Eric Young
* Kaz
* Petey Williams
* Elix Skipper
* Raven

tis a nicely rounded roster with plenty of x wrestlers, tag wrestlers and heavyweights. if all of those guys make it in, i shall be very very happy.

It looks awesome, I hope it's as good as it looks. It's good to have a wrestling game alternative.

[Hurricane]

Ya, I hope this game doesnt burn.

[Pain Redefined]

Holy fuck, Joe looks amazing. As does the rest of them, but wow. This game looks freaking insanely awesome.

[Koosh]

I can't wait, I would go reserve it but as with the WWE games, I don't think it's necessary lol.

[uksix]
