Customer Comments On Buying Tony Hawk HD : "I have the money to buy it, but since your not releasing it at the same time I will spend it elsewhere. When will I have enough money to buy your pure profit game? Well I dunno, i'll let you know after I buy a few other games"

It sucks that some stuff are timed exclusives. I mean i understand console exclusive games but timed exclusive games and DLC is just ridiculous.

Blastoise4318d ago

Wish Microsoft would use the money to make some new IP's instead of wasting time on timed exclusive stuff that people on PS3 and PC will just wait for...

Pointless.

DA_SHREDDER4318d ago

I just find it ironic they would do that to sony considering Tony started on the ps brand. It's almost discriminating if you ask me.

Bathyj4318d ago

That sucks hairy balls. Tony Hawk was born on Playstation, and it was the PS fanbse that turned it into such a big franchise, so if any platform was going to get it first it should be PS3. Not to mention its the best controller for TH.

Microsofts "Here is money we could spend on an exclusive title of our own, but instead we are paying for a stupid timed exclusive deal" check sitting on Activision's desk says otherwise.

0pie4318d ago

they clearly have a lame exclusive deal with microsoft... they just dont want to talk about it and they think we are stupid enough to believe the p.r bullshit they say.

NegativeCreep4274318d ago (Edited 4318d ago )

or someone at Activision Marketing division seriously needs to get a reevaluation.

It makes absolutely no good business sense to release a new title on one platform while purposefully delay the release of the same game on another platform within the same timeframe. It cannot only negatively affect consumer goodwill, but it can also result in lost sales.

Microsoft must of made a "contribution" to Activision that was sizeably enough for them to just think: "F*ck PSN, Microsoft is our real daddy now!"

Mir91224318d ago

I saw this coming a mile away as soon as it was announced as an Xbox Summer Arcade game, in fact I think we all saw it coming.. Its no doubt this is none other than another one of Microsoft's exclusivity deals with Activision. They do this with Call of Duty and now THPS.

Worst of all is they outright neglected their main fanbase who have been begging for a remix/remake of the original THPS games for years now. I am of course speaking of those who played all the games from THPS on the Playstation 1 to the horrid THUG sequels on Playstation 2 and Playstation 3.

Well there's really nothing I or we can't do but to wait for the game to be um.. "finished" *roll-eyes* and then purchase it.

Thank you Activision for once again proving you're total money grubbing scumbags, and thanks Robomodo for not even telling us the truth.

Don't bother, it's a poor remake

FalloutWanderer20772499d ago (Edited 2499d ago )

That bad huh? Not even worth $1.99 bad? I would have sworn that there was a new Tony Hawk Pro Skater game in development, I might be confusing that with this "HD remaster" however. Loved the 1st two THPS games back in the day, they were tons of fun with killer soundtracks! "If you like to gamble, I tell you I'm your man, You win some, lose some, it's all the same to me, The pleasure is to play, makes no difference what you say, I don't share your greed, the only card I need is The Ace Of Spades!"
I remember buying my little brother the 1st Skate game after it released, he was big into skateboarding at the time. I didn't have a lot of experience with the game but what I played was fairly realistic, with great visuals and physics for the time. Skate 3 released back in 2010 so we're way overdue for a worthy skateboarding game, a Skate 4 could be really good with today's gaming tech. advances and hardware capabilities. It will never happen but could you imagine a skateboarding game utilizing a physics engine like Euphoria that's used exclusively in Rockstar games, it would be incredible.

Saying you like the first two THPS and quote a song from THPS 3 lol. Anyways, I really want a true remake of THPS 4 or THUG 1.

FalloutWanderer20772499d ago

@madforaday I thought Ace of Spades was in THPS 1 or 2, didn't know it was in 3. I liked 3 as well. All 3 games had excellent soundtracks. It's been so many years since I've played them though, it's easy to get them mixed up.

DragoonsScaleLegends2496d ago

It's worse than the games before it in the series (ignoring Tony Hawk Shred) but it's still worth $2.

It's not a great sale and doesn't bode well for Battleborn being price cut already.

Price cuts help just about any game
