hi can u tell me if there is going to be tumbtacks for abyss . is there going to be the candian desrtoery . is there pety wilums ,ron the turth killing and team 3d . how many people are they last time it was 25 is there any more . and is there going to be full entrces or short ones . are they going to be able to put some one throw a anocers table and is there go to be a six sides of steel with a top match [like a wwe hell in the cell but a cage] sorry for spelling i suck at spelling thanks

Hi. I sure CAN tell you. Would you like me to tell you? Ill assume these questions are for TNA iPACT!. As far as the thumbtacks are concerned this is something I asked directly and the answer: maybe. This is something the midway developers would like to get in the game, should time permit. In reference to the roster we hope to have more information on this soon but keep in mind there wont be a final roster released until January. I did ask specifically about the 3D move and tag team moves in the game… As it was indicated the 3D move is in the game, thus Team 3D, one would assume, will make it into the game. As of two weeks ago the count was 25 people in the game. The entrances will be the shorter version as seen in the movies available for downloads. These are “final.” The announcers table is planned to be a hot spot meaning you will be able to use it. Six sides of steel is in, not sure about the top. Its ok that you suck, we rule! Thanks for the questions!

Is there going to be downloadable content?

Not even a Hi? How are you? Sheesh! All go ahead again and assume you are asking for the TNA iMPACT! Game. Downloadable content is planned. Keep in mind there are so many things everyone wants in the game. The developers are going to try to accommodate as many ideas as possible but they wont be able to get everyone’s favorite features in.

Since there will be be japanese arenas, does that mean we might see some japanese wrestlers from japan like the great muta, jushin liger, kenta,etc. kind of like WCW revenge?

Well hi there “radial.” What the hell kind of an email is that anyway? I pressed the developers hard for details on the unlockable features… At this point all I got was huge grins. I think we will be pleasantly surprised, I suppose that’s the key word, surprise.

Hi Matt,
My name is Oren Nathan and I've been covering the wrestling videogames world in Israel for the past 6 years, as you can tell I won't be able to attend Midway's conference, however I just saw that you're asking fans to write questions, so I'd love if you could ask some of my questions (even though it's on a short notice).
1. TNA impact is scheduled to be the first TNA videogame, as we all know it's going to be released on all next-generation consoles, are there any plans on adding exclusive features on the next-generation consoles?
2. Can you shed some details about the interface of the game in terms of run-ins, usually in a wrestling game when a wrestler runs-in and make an interference he only perform his finisher maneuver and basically have little to no impact at the match?
3. Tournament wise, is it possible to put wrestler against himself like other sport titles, for example, is it possible to put Kurt Angle Vs Kurt Angle?
Matt, Thanks for everything, I'm really grateful
My e-mail address is orenathan@gmail.com
Thanks.

Hi Oren! That’s a freakin’ sweet name. I am glad to see someone from the Israel on our website, welcome! Let me get to the questions… Each version of the game will indeed feature exclusives. It was interesting for me to find out at the event that this is actually a requirement of the console companies! Thus they are “making” Midway do this. At this point Midway isn’t sure what the exclusives will be but rest assured there will be exclusives. Sure can! In the 360 version of the game we played run-in’s will be controlled at the user’s discretion. The wrestler will enter and help for about thirty seconds then either return to the backstage or remain at ringside for the remainder of the match. Wrestler vs. Wrestler should be in the final version. No problem!

Great, i have questions:
TNA iMPACT! game:
- Will there be chairs in the game to use?
- Will there be the thumbtacks in the game?
- Which woapons can we also use in TNA iMPACT!?
- Will there be a Countdown for the game like the THQ Countdown for Smackdown vs. Raw?
That's it, for the first

Greaaaat (Tony the Tiger!) I have answers! Chairs will be in the game. Thumbtacks, gosh you guys are hostel! See above! Weapons are still in development however I would plan on seeing chairs, tables, trashcans and the other typical items you might expect. As soon as WrestlingGamers.com gets their copy of the game, we will have tons of coverage so stay tuned!

The 7th Number
Smackdown vs raw
- Since smackdown vs raw 08 is just smackdown 1 with update graphics and modes, when will we REALLY get a new ground up next gen wwe game?
- You do know that next gen is more than just high end graphics right?

Thanks for the questions 7th. I hate to end the first every WrestlingGamers.com mail room (cheap plug) on a negative note but here goes… I am going to answer your question with a question. Why should THQ offer the gamer anything more than updated graphics and (with the exception of this year) an updated roster? Look at it from their point of view. The game will sell like hotcakes no matter what they do. Until now they didn’t have any other wrestling games to compete with. Look at Madden same game yet people buy it every year. There isn’t another well put together Football game worth buying, thus people buy it. Wrestling is coming out of this “video game slump.” For the sake of argument let’s say TNA iPMACT! is a horrible game. At the very least they will have put a fire under THQ’s ass. They aren’t the only franchise on the block anymore. I wouldn’t be surprised if we see THQ stop acting like it very soon…
