Midway has released a handful of new screenshots for their upcoming wrestling title, TNA iMPACT!, and they're looking pretty slick. Literally. Look how much these dudes are sweating, for cryin' out loud.

Truth be told, the Unreal Engine 3.0 powered game does look pretty damned good, but this good? I had a chance to play an early version of the game last October, and even though it wasn't close to being complete, the game's arcade-style action definitely caught my attention. Even then, the game was looking pretty good, but it definitely looked nowhere near as sharp as it does in these screens.

It's not out of the question that Midway has done some tweaking between last October and today, and I certainly hope the game plays and looks as sweaty as it does in these screens. We'll find out when TNA iMPACT! ships this summer for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.

This has reminded me that I'd like to see a new American Gladiators game, with a realistically sweating and hairy Wolf.

Scott Steiner has never looked so good, especially in real life.

I hope its good, the smackdown games have sucked recently so we need a good wrestling game.

Well, if you take Unreal Engine 3 and strip out all the hardware taxing eye-candy, you have plenty of headroom for male hair follicles and sweat-pouring pores.

It's being made by the team who developed those awful Backyard Wrestling games and it's being published by Midway. So don't expect much out of it. Basically I think it'll look pretty but play like shit.

@Sterling: No joke XD Though, if he kisses his bicep and it looks as gross as in real life I'm almost out of buying this game.

All in all I can't wait for the game though, it looks awesome. And I think it's nice that a few of the wrestlers are actually helping work very closely with Midway so that certain things are correct. I'm just hoping it'll be good.

Hmmm... Hopefully sweat stains will be fully implemented...

I won't be happy unless I see some swass!

The game might be good. Unfortunately the actual company still sucks cock.

WWE games have gotten progressively worse the past few years. Hopefully this will be a breath of fresh air to the genre. BTW, ECW's videogame made the company more money than all of their PPVs combined.
