I kind of agree with what they say here. You can't have major changes to an HD update or older fans will complain. At the same time, not enough changes (fixes) and people will also complain.

banjadude4307d ago

True, but something like split-screen, wasn't that there since the beginning? Why should that have been taken out? I don't think either side would have complained if split-screen WAS left intact...

Emilio_Estevez4307d ago

Def can't argue with you there.

probably a financial decision - the more features there are, the more they cost to polish. Framerate etc needs polishing in an HD remake.

WolfLeBlack4306d ago

I agree that they couldn't make major changes, but there is a lot though could have tweaked, like the often wonky physics or getting cought on objects etc.

Likewise the camera could have been tweaked a little.

I would have actually have liked them to put in custom skater option. Sure, it would have been a major change, but a good one I feel that nobody could have really complained about.

dbjj120884306d ago

I disagreed with you because I feel like a developer in this situation needs to come down on one side or the other and not half-ass it like they did. You either stick to the originals, or you make your changes and commit to it.

Robomodo didn't do either of those things.

MadLad4307d ago

I don't know.

I sort of viewed this as something for the longtime fans. At least that is what I was hoping for. This doesn't really feel like the classic experiences, nor is it something that really holds up by today's standards either.

the perfect remake imo is Halo Ce anniversary, it kept the same feel while updating the gfx, i played THPS HD and it was nice but i was disappointed by the fact that

1- the controls aren't as responsive as they should, there is delay in the control

2- the gameplay is outdated,my fav TH game ever was THUG 2, there are reverts(from THPS3), ramp transfer(from THPS4) on foot running(from THUG 1), slow motion, wall stamping(in THUG 2), variation while in grind or manual, u can roll by double tapping the d-pad TWICE in the same direction, all of these make THPS HD shallow in comparison, don't get me wrong THPS2, 3 and 4 were legendary at their time but time moves

3- THPS 3, THPS 4, THUG 1 and THUG 2 were running at a smooth 60 FPS which is essential for a smooth skating experience

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.

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.
