screen tear too
Looks like a 360 game.
I want to like it but I don't know if I can
haha oh wow that slam down thing everyone was saying looked horrible in the gameplay last week is actually an intentional thing the team put in well this is awkward.
That slamming-down looks shiiiiit
So does that auto-aim when it comes to hopping sideways from rail to rail
All they need to do is bring back the most popular tracks from the first 3 games, the original soundtracks, with better graphics and a few gameplay alterations while retaining the same overall movement and gamefeel as the originals and they'd make megabucks

I don't want to like it, but i don't know if i can.
are they using the same engine from the THPS HD game they made awhile back?
I find it strange how most major titles these days are criticized for being more of the same, while old titles trying to make a comeback are criticized for trying new mechanics or taking different angles on the formula they once followed.
I grew up with Tony Hawk's Pro Skater, all the way through American Wasteland, and I loved just about each one, only being underwhelmed by two of the titles. So I'd certainly love a HD remaster of the series, but at the same time, it'd be great to just have a [i]new[/i] game with a few new mechanics, parks, and hopefully a decent soundtrack.
Maybe I don't have the same eye to notice the "bad graphics" or "screen tearing", but it looks like a pretty solid Tony Hawk experience to me.
Not over the top, or anything too special, but just trying to work its way back to being good.
The only thing bothering me about the trailer is how they are using perfect balance cheats to showcase combos and areas. Showing the characters wobbling because their balance meter is going out would be a great detail in the trailers, as well as showing skaters actually bailing.
Didn't Skate 3 have a really good create a park mode?
[QUOTE=Hanney;48043915]are they using the same engine from the THPS HD game they made awhile back?[/QUOTE]
yup, unreal engine 3
It's shit.
It bothers me that they treat placing down props and objects in pre-existing levels as a whole new level of customization they've never had before.

THPS HD ran on Unreal 3.

And so will this.
:(
The slam down mechanic wouldn't be so bad if the rest of the game didn't look so mediocre. If Sonic Adventure 2 is anything to go on, a slam down mechanic could really speed things up. But Tony Hawk games are about style, not necessarily speed.

Meanwhile Skate 3 had you doing stuff like this:

I started with the Skate games and I could not get into Tony Hawk. The gameplay has barely evolved from the PS1 era, and for people who started with that it's a good nostalgia trip but for me it just feels incredibly dated. The only way to really evolve that without significantly changing the gameplay is to just add a bunch of out of control crazy shit (they did such in the Underground games). But they're not showing off any of that in this new game, they're showing off the same rehashed maps and samey gameplay that's 3 generations old at this point.
Anything that comes close to modability prolongs the game's lifetime and also increases player involvement. Being able to create my own maps would be amazing.
Why does it look so ugly? Its not like there are no good looking games that use UE3. What the hell did they do?
Man the levels look so empty and lifeless.
The best part of Tony Hawk games is all the details and cool stuff hidden in levels, this one looks like it has nothing to show.
American Wasteland was the last good TH game
Stay where you belong.
In my memories.
If you guys want a decent recent Tony Hawk game, get THUG Pro. It's maps from most of the series, all sorts of customisation shit and the online on it is superb.
You need a copy of THUG 2 for PC to run it though.

The movement looks like it's trying to emulate the (unintentional) choppiness and..."snappiness" of the original few games without even attempting to smooth it out now that the hardware can keep up. Not sure that's gonna work out too well.
Honestly, last good Tony Hawk game I played was Project 8. It'd be nice for that to change.
shut it down, its over.
I'm still hype for this i don't give a fuck, i'll still have fun with this. It looks leagues fucking better than past tony hawk games but wont ever beat something like THUG.
Those days are gone folks get over it and move on, this shit still looks fun to me.

Activision right now.

I think my ideal Tony Hawk game would be a physics based skating game like the Skate series but have it control like American Wasteland. Bring in the other awesome mobility features it had like off board Parkour and Biking and even some quirky vehicles like they had in Underground 1 and 2.
Have the graphics be stylized to fit the hilarity and weirdness of the Tony Hawk universe and to make the game not feel jarring when unbelievable things happen. Give us interesting and unique levels to skate in (my fondest memories were places like Hell and Barcelona and the Boardwalk Amusement park among others) and give us an extremely extensive level editor.
The game should be about the urban environment and growing up in the city with your pass time being concrete surfing. The plot should deal with being an amateur but enthusiastic skater who wants to make it big as a pro skater and it should show how pursuing your dreams can be possible but it should show how turning pro affects your life and the other people around you who also compete to make it as a pro skater as well, do they still like you? Maybe old skating buddies think you're a sell out now. Maybe you're past them? They should look to the world as it is today, how hard is it to become pro in the modern world? What does becoming pro today entail? What hardships do pro skaters face on their way to the top? What kind of shenanigans do skaters today get into?
Make the game feel great to play, make it smooth and addicting and challenging. And make sure to give us a bitchin fucking soundtrack that takes songs from today as well as classics to the series.
This game shouldn't be hard to make when they've already made so many Tony Hawk games. It's not impossible to make another Tony Hawk game that blows us away it just needs to be made by people who really care about this beautiful old franchise.
Make it a $15 download and you probably won't piss everybody off.
