There's about 6 more in the link too. Man... I did a search, but I didn't see any other truly significant threads about this game. Anyway, this game has everything, Ganguro girls (for Shidoshi), Ninjas (for me 8)), Tina Armstrong look-a-likes... MUD RASSLIN!

My penis quakes with anticipation!

:lol:

Sweet...an ad for Snake Eater!

Sweet!
I like the look of this game ;)

scary lips...

Mmmmm... ganguro wrestler girl...

Ahem - http://www.the-nextlevel.com/board/s...ad.php?t=29602

This game is going to shit all over DOAX. I can't wait!

Gah! Get the underside of those boobs some extra polys before my eyes scar over! That just ain't right.

That one on the left needs some shoring up as well, it looks like it's about to melt off her front. Normally I'm all for a bit of escapage but once again, that just isn't right.

GUYS!!! PLAYSTATION 2

The fact that the game looks THIS good is a god damned miracle. I mean, there's all kinds of messed up stuff going on, look at her under arm for christ's sake... this is seriously the best PS2 can do. Being a graphics whore at this point is futile.

Absolute rubbish. There are games with bigger scope that look decent, and there are games with limited scope that wipe the floor with this from a technical standpoint.

That has nothing to do with polys, her implants just popped. That's the silicone collecting at the bottom of her juggs.

Well the booth babe dressed up like her at E3 was black. If that counts for anything. :chick:

Someone who beta tests for Konami mentioned this game has just entered the beta testing phase, but can't say more due to our old friend NDA.

I don't care if she is black... I'm going to keep pretending that she's ganguro.

But yeah... her breast is pretty tore up. I noticed that before.

It's a lot harder to notice those little flaws when it's in action.

that character is designed to be black(she's a spoof on beyonce knowles), but with the fanboys online, the ganguro rumor has been spreading like wildfire.

Her name is Aisha, and yeah, I know she's supposed to be black, but I think ganguro is a lot funnier.

That said, I consider Beyonce to be a ganguro girl too, because she hasn't got a single black feature in her face or body. The only thing black about her is limitless credit card :(

On top of the MGS sign being in, there's a CastleVania one as well, awesome!

All those ads got me thinking: why not go a step further? Include females from other Konami games, put Meryl from MGS in, for instance.

This game is going to rock. Konami, if you keep "Look to the Sky" in the soundtrack like you had on the trailer, I'll love you forever. :)

This is one of my most anticipated releases this year...moreso for the wrestling. MWF knows whats up. The creative freedom bound to this title, thanks to not being chained down by a license makes it exciting.

They're both video game T&A fests. Rumble Roses will just have a really fun game behind it. Unlike DOAX which just got boring after about a half hour. I duno, I just keep hearing the two compared around here and you're right, they really shouldn't be.

I put a good amount of time into this at E3 and I've been eagerly anticipating it ever since. I was kinda surprised at how many people would come up and give up on it after one match. The wrestling engine is really tight and I can't wait to see all the moves that get incorporated.

I'll just keep arguring with my friends around here who still go on and on about DOAX. :\

My comment wasn't to you per say, it was a pre-emptive plea to everybody to not get back into a "DOA sucks / DOA rocks" bitchfest.

all i know is that when this game comes out, it will be declared national boner day in america.

-edit-
if they're gonna throw in any extra "konami-girls" into this game, we should get heather from silent hill 3. she should have a throw where she throws up dead fetus' on people for her humiliation move.

hell, if this game had her in it; i'd buy it on the spot regardless of whether or not it sucked.

I wouldn't mind seeing Sniper Wolf in this. Or Olga from MGS2, with a hairy pits submission hold. Kojima can't complain; he let them use Solid Snake for that shit Konami skateboarding game.

I thought that he just put a shitty skateboarding game in MGS2:Substance...?

There was a different skateboarding game that came out first... Evolution Skateboarding, I think.

Put Raiden in, the Pres got it all wrong!

New character revealed at gamespot... she's a NURSE! Her humiliation move is in one of their free vids. There is humping involved.

best. game. ever.

hahahahahahahaha

Great GS vids, and why hasn't this thread been merged yet?

Sounds like they are trying to hit up on as many cosplay fetishes as they possibly can in this game. On that train of thought, this game is screaming for a Japanese schoolgirl character. I will be severely disappointed if there isn't one in some form in the game.

As for that video.... hahahaha christ this game is so over the top it is silly. National boner day indeed; I can hardly wait.

-Dippy

only thing possible that may put a deterant on the boner is the horrible voice acting and overly bad "hentai" looking in game cutscenes.

konami: proving once again that hot bitches are better off not talking.

so how's this thing play? Is it a technical wrestling game, loose and arcadey, or what?

MWF, you'd think that'd be a proven fact by now.
Hero, it looks like KCET is using some of Yukes' animations in a more arcadey manner in some ways, and yet more sim-based in others, like submissions.

I hope the fix that terrible collision detection that occurs in the video when Anesthesia picks her opponent off the mat.

there's never been good collision detection in any wrestling related game. ever.

Beat me to it.

new video over at ign shows how well built the character models are in-game.

pretty much shows off the models bending stretching and moving with no seam problems or overly noticable clipping.

Yeah I saw that one. The butt physics need some serious work.

Other than that I'm suprised to see character models this good on the PS2. Of course those models were all on a white screen with no background effects, but still.

"Please make sure that you keep your pants up!" :lol:

Well, no 3D wrestling game has had good collision detection, but most 2D ones are just fine in that regard. Again, why is this thread still separate from mine?

That's why :-*

got bored and found a new fight video over at game informer, then whipped up a quick animation of anathesia's rope special(supposedly, it might be a normal move) for you guys that dont want to dl a 14meg video with shitty sound quality.

http://www.pimp-productions.com/medi...ated/roses.gif

The animation in this game so far is really inconsistent. Sometimes brilliant, othertimes wretched. For all that attention to detail, I'd hope the walking animation is improved at least.

Thanks for the vid. It reminds me of Tajiris tarantula finisher. I smile a little bit when he does it.

You should have linked to the goods (if only to provide a source). Sure, people could find the preview on Game Informer easily enough, along with the video in question. Good job with the animated GIF, regardless.

Couple of gameplay details from that article (you mean people are going to play this game?):

-The special meter stacks, and building it up multiple levels allows you to do different specials. Completely standard for a fighting game, but I am having a hard time thinking of a wrestling game with a multi-tiered special/finisher system like that.

-Apparently embarassing your opponent can backfire, resulting in a pissed off opponent (with more moves and more power). They don't go into detail how, but I would have to guess that using a humiliation move and failing to peace out your opponent would do it.

One other note on the new IGN movie: the body physics look wonky where the ass/breasts and the base model meet. This is most noticable with Bloody Shadow (the ninja chick), watch as her chest moves and the mesh that she is wearing does not deform; it just stretches to cover the gap instead. Looks really weird.

just saw some shots in the latest famitsu wave. there are some screens of alternate outfits/alter egos.

dixie in all black chaps riding a motorcycle(ala Undertaker)

gimp chick in her alt outfit(cat suit), and with her mask off(the tattoo on her
right boob is the same as the in catsuit, so this is an accurate assumption)

reiko wearing jean shorts over her wrestling gear

some kind of shoulderbreaker slam/submission move(looks like an inverted shouldbreaker(opp upside-down landing on your knee), and then they strap them in for a submission

lots of camera work that is "above" the action(2/3rds of the ingame match shots had the camera placed above the wrestlers)

lots of alternate colors(dixie in leather brown, reiko in blue, etc)

no shots yet of the newly announced "punk rocker" chick or the "rumored" fighting nun character tho.

look, when the walking animation gets fixed in a WWE game, then we can talk about something like this. until then, we just suck it up and play the game(who the shit bitches about walking animations in a wrestling title? it doesnt matter in the long run unless you're REALLY anal)

I don't play wrestling games, because they always look terrible to me, so how would I know. Terrible game mechanics, animation, collision detection, and, oh yeah, that awful license they're hamstringed with. With RR, I thought I might give wrestling games another shot.

All the grappling in VF4 or DOA3 looks consistenly amazing along with everything else, I don't see why a wrestling game (a game that's almost entirely character driven and focused on the moves) can't get everything up to par.

for once in my life i'm not gonna be a complete ass(i dont feel like getting banned for a week) and break it down like this:

if you're anal to the point that you will not pick up what could be a high quality product because of something as minute as "walking animations", then you shouldnt purchase it, let alone makie our heads hurt by posting your opinion(which isn't valid, since you openly admit to NOT playing wrestling titles) about it.

let's not forget that almost NO wrestling game(let alone ANY 3d fighting game) has ever had "good" collision detection. dont believe me? take any of the games you mentioned and punch someone in the head or do a throw. 9/10 times there is some clipping of body parts.

whether it's the fist thru the head, or an arm thru someone's waist, there will NEVER be good or even great collision detection. hell...even when they land from anything(throw, slam, juggle, etc) their back clips thru the floor. it's always dependant on the size of the opponent in relation to the size of the player.

now...considering that the SAME company building Rumble Roses is responsible for the WWE(smackdown/day of reckoning) titles that you say have "terrible game mechanics, animation, collision detection, etc", how the living fuck could you expect a quality title(by your own standards)?

oh yeah, i forgot. you dont play wrestling games.

Ouch.

Oh snap... I do believe that somebody just got their ass handed to them.

"let's not forget that almost NO wrestling game(let alone ANY 3d fighting game) has ever had "good" collision detection"

That's not an excuse for it to be a suck, though. If absolutely no 3D fighters had good CD, there's a way to make your game not have bad CD. That way is to...wait for it...not make the game. If some have had good CD, then you have no excuse anyway.

And this game still is far from the best the PS2 can do.

3 words describes your whole argument:

grasping. at. straws.

honestly, "excuse for it to be a suck"? wtf were you thinking? next time try to think out the entire post instead of just inserting yourself into an argument/debate because you feel the need to back someone up, asstard.

ok, now im going to actually HELP you retards that want to complain about this game, by dropping some nuggets of wisdom and insight about things that could actually be a downside to this game.

-read these carefully and be sure to realize that these things are actually important compared to walking animations or clipping issues-

1)lack of match types. when this game ships, it will only have 1on1 normal and 1on1 mud wrestling. no tag, no fatal 4 way, no handicap, etc.

2)assinine voice acting. once again, bribing random people on the street with a six pack of sake and some rice cakes to do the voicework of a game is NOT the way to go

3)no create a wrestler mode. considering there will only be 22 characters(each of the main 11 characters will split into face/heel versions after beating the game), the longevity of the title could be hugely dependant on this factor.

4)gratuitous "in game" cutscenes where one player begs for mercy when their humiliation meter peaks. seriously, NOBODY needs this and it'd be better off for the humiliation meter to "ding" like in every other yuke's wrestling title. this is just a poor mans attempt at inserting softcore hentai into a mainstrream videogame.

now i KNOW that you guys dont have time to go and do research on a subject before bitching about it, i KNOW that you just like to repeat what other people say with your own "flair" and call it an opinion, but how hard is it to go look at some videos/read some previews at any of the more "well known" websites and figure this out for yourself?

ps: for the love of god dont bother posting replies to this. we know you hate the game(for whatever idiot based reason it is), so just take it somewhere else so this doesnt turn into a full out flame war.

It's not just the walking animation. But since that's one thing you'll see your character do like a million times, have some care for it.

---

I'm not talking about clipping, I'm talking about when I kick someone in a wrestling game, the polygons pass through them, but no hit is registered. Or the reverse, where no contact is made but hits are still registered. I almost never see that in a (3D) fighter.

Why don't you just ask him to marry you already?

man, you really give me shit to work with dont you? :D

ok, real quick like(cause i got shit to do today):

1)hit detection is very dependant on the hit box of the character and the speed of the animation of the attacker. hence that is why some characters attacks miss or go thru on wrestling titles. the other problem is that wrestling titles are in the long run, RUSHED to the market due to WWE having final say over the finished product. the only game i've seen this hit detection problem with lately has been day of reckoning(but that's only on specific running attacks from specific distances).

1.5)maybe you should specify as to where you saw this "poor hit detection" so we dont treat you like a complete ass next time? seriously, i'm not trying to be a dick. give us an example instead of just complaining like a wuss.

2)in actual wrestling(shows/events), walking isnt used as much as it is in a wrestling game. so that could be why it's not really REALLY "taken care of". but on the other hand, since it's a wrestling game and not "shen-mue" or some other extended adventure title where all you do is walk, then it's not a priority. ever.

3)how the hell would knowing that this came from such "pedigree" push you towards it if these guys make games you cant stand(let alone dont play)? lemme guess...it's all GIRL wrestling and they are of the ANIME variety? right?

4)in the long run you have to remember what is high priority in a wrestling title; MOVES. not walking, not collision or hit detection problems, but the MOVES. now i know your some artist or whatever so you think everything has to be character driven, but a wrestling game is NOT character driven. sure, this game might have a story mode. but it's only there to unlock other characters. nobody gives a rats ass about a story mode in the majority of fighters(due to continuity problems and retarded storylines), and it transitions just the same to wrestling titles.

wrestling games are about beating the living crap out of your friends. not nitpicking it because they walk funny. not playing it just for the story mode. not because of it's character design. it's played because of the insane shit you can do to each other in a controlled violent as hell manner.

5)btw...if you dont play wrestling games, how would you ever know if a good one exists without experiencing them for yourself? oooo...that'll make you think for a bit.

6)and yes, shidoshi(like many people here) fucking loves me.

I'm stunned that people actually do play wrestling games for story modes, it's like watching wrestling just for the "compelling" storylines.

Fair enough, I'm not really trying to start anything. One point of clarification though: When I said "character driven" I meant that the whole game is about what your character does. It's all about your character's moves (moreso since different characters, of course, have different moves) and how you use them. Perhaps, "character focused" would have been more apt.

It's not fighting games are exempt from criticism either. VF4 and Tekken's "legacy" animation irritates me as well.

...and I used to work in a video game store that had a stay-n-play setup...naturally, I've been witness to many hours of wrestling game play (haven't really played them since PS1 though). Granted, it was mostly by young kids who didn't know anything except mashing buttons, so that can probably skew one's perspective.

...and yes, this wrestling game piqued my interest since it involves crazy women with big bouncing breasts twisting each other up in serpentine grappling techniques and generally have the most sophisticated 3D "pillow fight" ever created. Seems perfectly valid to me. ; )

Meh, I wouldn't even call what's on free-tv wrestling violence (except the tiny amount of TNA x division stuff that's on). But years of just watching ECW & FMW spoiled me. I've tried to get back into the WWE but the bumps they take just seem like a weak-sauce version of what I was used to seeing.

Wrestling games & ECW/FMW DVDs are where I get my fix nowadays.

yeah, but even then the ecw stuff was no more "real" than wwe, it was just staged worse because of the lack of monitary funds.

From what I've heard almost all of a WWE match is set up before they go out to the ring so everything looks perfect on camera while smaller feds leave it up the guys in the ring to set up everything but the finish and huge bumps themselves.

And the guys took way harder bumps on a nightly basis in ECW. Vince tends to protect his guys a lot more than smaller factions do (makes sense since he's paying a lot more for 'em). Just look at an ECW RVD match and most of the non-PPV stuff he's done for the WWE.

Has WWE stacked tables like ECW used to do? That crazy scaffold match shit? Remember when Taz was a freaking bas ass and broke Sabus freaking neck by suplexing (I think?) him through a table in the corner of the ring? ECW was fucking nuts. Check that shit out to see what the 3 Dudleys were all about.

i've seen tons of ecw footage and tapes. it was more high spots and whatnot, but it wasnt any more impressive in the long run due to the entire show being focused around the HOLY SHIT factor rather than the good solid matches(same with tna/nwa's xdivision. more spots than you can shake a stick at, but horrible matches for the most part)

MWF was right about that Scaffold match. It was all based around the holly shit factor and the match was pretty boring up until Dreamer went through all the tables.

And it was Benoit who broke Sabu's neck in a normal match. He kind half suplexed half threw him over his shoulder and Sabu landed right on his neck. Sabu wasn't really hurt in the match you're thinking of.

And do you know who the 3 original Dudleys were? ;)

Are you talking about just that Scaffold match or ECW shows in general? If the former then you're fucking nuts (if not then ok). Watch any Tajiri -v- Super Crazy match or anything from Benoit, Malenko, The Eliminators, 2 Cold Scorpio, Jerry Lynn, Tanaka or Psicosis and tell me they don't put on some of the best in-ring work in the history of pro wrestling.

you do understand that the majority of those same people have put on the same quality matches in wcw later on in their careers. the only difference being that it wasnt "ECW" so we didnt have to wait for any super blade job.

now, just because im a badass and found this i'll share it with you guys:

i believe that the redhead on the second row is the "candy cane" punk rocker chick that konami was talking about last week...but i got no clue about row 3/slot 1 OR row 1/slot 2

Ouch.

There are the two things that really stopped me from liking Def Jam, no CAW and lack of match types.

Would it really kill Konami to at least do a tag? That's pathetic.

I'll just wait for this one to drop price, I guess. I was really looking forward to it =/

I'm not sure...I just remember Devon, Bubba and Spike. And when Spike had to get knee surgery because his knee was so f-ed up from wrestling. That guy took unreal bumps, he was the smallest on the roster and would just get tossed. He went into the audience more than once.

Was Tanaka the "import" from Japan that would show up from time to time? He would wrestle that huge guy with the mullet a lot (power bomb or something? That might have been his finisher). They had some intense matches. There was a lot of great matches, and MWF is right, ECW was really about the bumps. They'd do nothing special for a bit, then a huge bump, then slow it down, then another huge bump. But RVD was awesome, Tajiri...man now I'm in the mood to watch some ECW.

Oh, the game looks cool too.

the reason they cant pull off tag is simple. each character model is well above the 10k polygon mark. have you seen smackdown or day of reckoning? even with those models we're getting slow down(especially on dor if it's in a cage), so i can understand perfectly as to why this game is the way it is.

if and when they ever decide to do a sequel(most likely on a next gen system that can handle it), i will be EXPECTING more match types AND a caw mode.

There was Big Daddy Dudley, Big Dick Dudley, Dances with Dudley... and the current ones, of course. WWE matches are NOT prepared before they go out, they, like pretty much every other modern-day wrestler, have a good idea of what they want to do during the match, then make up the rest as they go along.

yep, that's why its called "calling the spots" or "going thru the motions". i've worked security for WWE shows at local arenas(raw/smackdown/houseshows/etc), and they practice the finishers or setups in ring before people start piling into their seats, but it's still fly by your pants for the rest.

this hopefully confirms that we should be getting new storymodes for the "alternate personas" as well. so in total there should be 22 story modes, taking about 60minutes-90minutes a piece.

new screenshots of Rowdy Reiko and Sgt Clemets(heel versions of Reiko and Dixie) will be displayed at the end of the interview as well.

also, the esrb classified RR as a "M" game about a week ago(which is also confirmed in this interview)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A quick interview with Akari Uchida, creator of Rumble Roses:

1. Uchida-san, how has the development progressed? Are you going to be able to
include all of the features you want into Rumble Roses?

We're on a tight development schedule but everything is turning out great. There
were minor changes and items we implemented in the game. But overall, the game
is coming together better than I expected.

2. What about the girls?what can you tell me about any of the new girls?

Well, if you're begging, I'll have to mention a few new characters. Let me
introduce Anesthesia, Aigle and Makoto as well as the heel sided characters,
"Rowdy" Reiko and the Law Rider, Sgt. Clemets. You've probably seen them and
you're all familiar with Dixie and Reiko but they can change sides according to
your gameplay. Moves and the way they talk will totally differ from their face
persona and you can even enjoy different storylines. I wanted to hide the
information until the release date, but since we have more game content, I
thought I should show it to you now...and here are the characters! Maybe I
showed them off too much...:(
Not only will Dixie and Reiko have evil characters, all the wrestlers will have
a face and heel side.

3. How different are the girls' story lines? Is there one of the girl's stories
that is your favorite?

You'll be seeing many variations of storylines in the game. As I look back and
think, I'm not sure if the game desperately needed that much content for each
character scenario, hmmm.... I regret over-working on the scripts with such a
tight development schedule. (laughs) I guess it's beneficial for gamers though!
I just can't choose. I love every script, because they're basically written by
me. But, hidden scenarios are fun and crazy!!!

4. Are you able to keep the Mad Mud mode the same as it was at E3, or are you
having to change it to get a Teen rating?

Of course, yes! No matter if we have Mud Mode or not, we won't be able to stick
with a "T" rating.

5. Do you think the Rumble Roses girls could beat male opponents?

Hmm, I think they can beat male opponents. Our characters have more power and
moves than the real-life wrestlers... at least they can beat me up! (laughs)

well we got confirmation of a red-head schoolgirl(complete with pigtails).

This comes to you hot from EGM's November issue via a Print Add for Rumble Roses. I will be linking both the full shot of the entire add(both pages) and then a close up of the red-head character(seen above).

Hahaha christ, that right there sells the game to me. MrWhitefolks, you are doing us all a service here (heh).

TMI alert: I was hoping for something a little more akin to a traditional Japanese schoolgirl, but whatever (kinda impossibe given the average amount of skin these characters are showing) -- and IIRC you can customize the character's looks somewhat (akin to VF4?), so who knows.

(Cue some random flame about how I am only interested in this game because I'm some random anime fanboy who would never otherwise be interesting in a wrestling game. Oh wait; that already happened.)

....

On a more serious note, I wonder if any women's groups are going to jump all over this game come the holiday season. I am having a hard time trying to come up with a game that has this mix of strong sexual themes and violence (the closest comp. I have is Dead or Alive, and that game is infinitely more subtle than this), and I can see some people seeing that as a bad combination.

-Dippy

Are there any other untapped fetishes in this game? It seems like there's something for everybody here!

while some people are already pissed off about the delays and how it is supposed to launch the same day as halo 2(thereby, "Killing" it's revenue)...any kind of negative press = good press for this game.

remember D2? remember that stupid cunt Bleep(ie Brianna Haskins) starting this huge controversy over ONE scene that got so out of hand that it in turn, got the game sold by word of mouth?

when word of mouth gets out about RR, and then people find out that it actually DOESNT SUCK...konami will be swimming in monetary funds(then hopefully we'll get an updated xbox port or a full fledged sequel with CAW modes and whatnot)

Shit, I had somehow purged Bleep from my memory. Said stupid cunt's ramblings about D2 were the only reason I ever wanted to try the game. Never did get around to it though, it looked shitty otherwise.

Wonder if her anti-D2 page still exists somewhere.

Who's this 'Bleep' chick and what did she hate about D2 so much? Aside from it sucking, that is.

The big fuss over D2 was the tentacle in the mouth scene. Not sure if it was cut for the US release.

I had to go back through the thread cuz when I read that I was all, "There was a tentacle in the mouth scene in D2: Mighty Ducks? :X"

LOL! Talk about the Flying V formation.

HAHAHAHAAH

They've combined two of my favorite things: schoolgirls and redheads! This game DOES have it all!
