CVG - Tony Hawk's Pro Skater HD review: Feels like a 12-year-old game

CVG - The times, they are a-changin'. In this XBLA-bound reworking of the first two Tony Hawk's Pro Skater games built on an entirely new HD engine, you don't collect secret VHS tapes anymore; you collect DVD's. And you can do it as Tony Hawk's son Riley.

This review is stupid, he complains the game is missing features from THPS4, THPS3, and other sequels. THIS IS A HD REMAKE OF THE FIRST THPS GAME, NOT THE OTHER ONES!

secretcode4325d ago

Incorrect. The game is not a remake of THPS1. The game is a remake of 1+2, with tracks from Downhill Jam added on, with THPS3 content coming later as DLC.

Wuu4325d ago

Then why controls are not the same? And falling animations is plane stupid. Music, only 14 tracks and the songs are not restarting on retry. So it's feels like listening radio or iPod, just WTF! And don't even mention lack of content, game is over in couple hours.

But wait, Activision is making DLC! Thanks!

Still 4.5/10 is to low.

Well, it doesn't feel like a 12 year old game, that's the problem. Just give us the thps games as a remastered hd collection. That's all we want. No DLC bullshit, we want split screen too.

Reverent4325d ago

In a few years, Activision will give us a "Remastered" Guitar Hero, and when Call of Duty dies, a few years later, we will get a "Remastered" CoD game. You know you're being greedy when you're milking a cow for all you can get, but it just gets pathetic when you're still milking that cow when it's dead.

CrazyInsane4325d ago

how could they mess up a remake ? It would have been much better to just rerelease the original one without a remake!

glennco4325d ago

milking at its finest right here.

Don't bother, it's a poor remake

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.

FalloutWanderer20772506d 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.

DragoonsScaleLegends2503d 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.
