Activision has confirmed to Joystiq that the $5 DLC arriving roughly a month after the launch of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater HD will bring back the revert, a kind of bridge move introduced in Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 that allows players to chain together combos they couldn't otherwise in previous games.
But there's one catch: revert will only work within the DLC, and will not be a compatible mechanic in the core Tony Hawk's Pro Skater HD game. An Activision rep told Joystiq this is because "reverts were introduced in THPS3 and the levels were designed accordingly."
Yesterday, Activision told Joystiq Airport will be one of the three THPS3 levels to make the cut in the DLC, and that several more skate pros will be added as part of the $5 DLC pack. Above you can see the very first screen from the remade Airport map.
Microsoft's Activision subsidiary announced today that it is opening a new game development studio to take advantage of the huge talent pool growing in Poland. It'll be the second Activision studio based in the region, joining Infinity Ward Krakow, although this studio is, in fact, not working on Call of Duty.
The details for multiple future Call Of Duty games appear to have leaked, including a follow-up to Advanced Warfare.
Activision Blizzard ordered to pay $23.4M for patent infringement involving popular games.
I would read the article but the giant pop-ups from the top and bottom of the screen made me close it.
Without reading $23.4 million isn't a deterrent for a company that size.
Boss: Let's fire a few people to recoup on that loss.
Slave: Cortana has decided to get rid of Arkane Austin and Tango Gameworks.
Boss: Let's get those Firing Letters "Copilot Approved" and send them through the power of the cloud.
Slave: Long Live Phil !!!
ALL in the room: LONG LIVE PHIL !!!!
Well another troll company with a patent trying to extort money out of companies. Seems like they’re going to try and sue everyone.
Lol no thanks ill stick to the original full game.
$5 dlc? Sounds good at least it's not $14.99
Gameplay mechanics as payed DLC... T_T
Fuck that, take that $5 and just buy Tony Hawk 3.
Now you have to PAY for the revert?!?!?
F*** this game.
@LOL_WUT
Are you demented? You're paying for a game mechanic, that was introduced in a specific game, and won't even be usable in the whole game! And you're not even getting full games! Just select stages, as opposed to full HD versions of each game! Once again they're acting as if shiny HD graphics will let them get away with f***ing you over with everything else. We should at least be getting these stages and the play mechanics from Project 8/Proving Ground! But we aren't... and they want us to pay $5 for the REVERT?!!?
Activision can go to hell.
