Well done TNA :thumbsup :worship :worship Keep up the good work:worship :thumbsup

I'll definatly buy this game, although im not expecting much as its made by Midway.

It's a pity we'll have to wait until 2008, but I might have enough money for a PS3 by then.

I wasnt really into Mortal Combat really, i was more into Football/Soccer games when Mortal Combat was a real hit.

Don't forget NFL Blitz as well.

2008! That so long! WWE will release another game by then! Mabye even w!

The event will be hosted by Samuel L. Jackson and will also feature performances by Tenacious D and 50 Cent!

 

I hope this doesn't mean the 50 Cent game will receive a nomination by proxy, like it did in the last game awards. To be honest I haven't played it, but I haven't heard anything suggesting it's anything less than loose stool water :)

2008 is for PS3. PS2 version should be out early next year.

So no 360?

Hmm, I dont actually know. Havent heard anything official, but that doesnt mean there wont be.

"The TNA iMPACT! videogame is scheduled to ship in 2008 for next generation game systems." That does include the 360.

It's being developed by the lemons behind Backyard Wrestling, in the form of Midways Chicago Studio.

Midway aren't quite the force they used to be, but isn't AJ Styles overseeing? Perhaps that'll put the fear of God into the programmers :D

AJ Styles and Somoa Joe are supposedly taking a big role in it being huge video game players, so it might just HAVE to be good.

Ultimate X in a video game is gonna be awesome!
