WWE All Stars is an upcoming professional wrestling video game published by THQ and developed by THQ San Diego for the PlayStation 2 (PS2), PlayStation 3 (PS3), PlayStation Portable (PSP), Wii, and Xbox 360 systems.[1][2][3] It will be released on March 29, 2011.[1]
Gameplay
In contrast to the more simulation based WWE SmackDown vs. Raw series, WWE All Stars features arcade-style gameplay along with over-the-top animation and wrestlers bearing a more exaggerated look. It is said to be a combination of a fighting game and a wrestling game, with combos playing a major factor in gameplay, both on the ground and mid-air.[1] The game will feature present and past WWE wrestlers, as well as commentary from Jim Ross and Jerry Lawler.[1][4]
Development
The first official announcement for both WWE All Stars and WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2011 was made at E3 in June 2010 by THQ, shortly followed by an interview with gaming website GameSpot. WWE All Stars is the first WWE game to be produced by the THQ San Diego team, with many of its employees previously working for Midway Los Angeles who previously produced the TNA Impact! professional wrestling video game in 2008.[1]
