Other Features
TNA Impact! is to be geared towards a quick-paced, high-impact style of play, with less emphasis on submission maneuvers. It will support up to four players at once on a console,with online support - which includes tournaments - currently standing at one-on-one. Online play is, however, limited to the Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 versions. It's planned to feature straightforward, intuitive controls, with "accurate" and "detailed" character models.Scans of the actual wrestlers were used for the game in place of hand-painted textures to include small details, such as skin texture and specific scars. Due to memory limitations, the Wii and Playstation 2 versions will not have the create-a-wrestler mode.
Finishers are accessed by building up the "Impact! meter" displayed on the screen. In the same area a color-coded damage indicator shows the condition of characters. The game also features mini-games for escaping pin attempts and submission holds.
TNA's signature Full Metal Mayhem, Monster's Ball,Ultimate X,and King of the Mountain will be playable match types; alongside the more standard Singles, Tag team and Fatal Four-Way matches. Submission and Falls Count Anywhere matches will also be included. There will not, however, be a Six Sides of Steel match. Eight different venues - including TNA's main home; the Florida Impact! Zone, and arenas set in Japan, Mexico,[ England, Las Vegas, and locations designed to evoke the independent circuit feel-will be available to house matches, with the Impact! Zone having an increased ringside area for play and hot spots for player interaction.
It was announced during TNA's UK tour by Jeremy Borash that the Liverpool Olympia will be a playable arena in the game.
At least one match has been filmed to be exclusively featured in the game. It was announced on June 17,2008, that downloadable content would include additional wrestlers.
