Glad they choose to change there formula.

Thank you Skate.

TheColbertinator5602d ago

Yeah Skate was awesome.It was really refreshing for the genre

Bnet3435601d ago

now Tony Hawk is going to copy Skate ... bunch of losers.

I_LOVE_MYSELF5601d ago

Because Skate could also be accused of taking Thrashers take on skateboarding games and adding flick controls

EastCoastSB5601d ago

If they kept on the same tired formula it would've died out. Probably will anyway even with these changes.

vhero5601d ago

What the hell! no realism for a TH will ruin it. Skate sucked some people like it then fair enough but sales shows enough and well it did suck. People like doing whacked out stunts and looking cool. Nothing better than pulling off an amazing combo, sure it sucks for multi-player but it gives you a buzz. Games aren't meant to be real there meant to be fun people! Adding realism to games is ruining them nobody cares about fun anymore!

The first game was awesome, and the second is only going to get better.

TIKUP5601d ago

SKATE 2 FTW but this sounds interesting!!!!! :)

Yi-Long5601d ago

... the better both games are, the better it will be for us, the consumers. I'm really looking forward to Skate 2, but I sure as hell have never forgotten my great times with TH2 on the Dreamcast.

It's a shame TH went for the unrealistic and immature style after TH3, so let's hope they've grown up, are less lazy now, and will provide good competition to Skate 2 :)

Man, that's difficult to watch. Larry is bored. Tony looks and sounds defeated. I can't imagine he even wants to sell this product.

this is not what I was expecting for the next tony hawk game smh

Soldierone3711d ago

Kinda felt like Larry had an lost memory moment there.... lol

larry "When is it coming?"
"This year"
Larry "You can skateboard on your phone?"
"Yeah, well you swipe...."
Larry "How close it is? When will it come out?"
"This year"
Larry "So my wife can play it this year?

Summons753711d ago

lol give him a break...the guy is going to outlive all of us o_o

RyuCloudStrife3711d ago

yeah that was funny Tony's like I just said THIS YEAR!

sungam3d3711d ago

Yeah, but to Larry that's a lifetime away.

HotMess3711d ago

Larry and his hard hitting journalism.

ironfist923711d ago

Shouldve seen Larry tlak to Seth Green about the upscoming Batman/Superman film.

Larry would not shut the hell up and let Seth talk. Its obvious he knows absolutely nothing of the things he tries to talk about.

*Bangs head on the desk*

What in the hell with blue skies are they thinking?!

DarkLord10033713d ago

Yeah - saw that coming. What a shame

mike32UK3713d ago

All of these devs jumping ship to the mobile gaming crowd... They'll come crawling back, and if they don't it will be because they've gone bust

pompombrum3713d ago

While I'm sad to hear this as I'd prefer a console release but mobiles are the perfect platform really. Tony Hawk was always a "just another 15 minutes" game and would fit in well with my mobile gaming habits at least.

THPS 2 HD? Totally new game? Tony's Rocking New Year's Skate with a new special move where he gets off his board and plays it like an air guitar?

WHAT COULD IT BE?

acharlez3720d ago

Tony Hawk RIDE sequel.

No doubt.

ftwrthtx3720d ago

Interesting. Gotta be better then Shaun White

MatrixxGT3720d ago

As long as it has the flair the first games had and they take time and put passion into it I wouldn't mind returning to thps.

acharlez3720d ago

Agreed. It's about time to bring the series back.

Elit3Nick3720d ago

Absolutely, they need to go back to the open world mess around type of game that the popular one had, maybe an evolution of the underground and american wasteland series.

jlukee3720d ago (Edited 3720d ago )

I would totally buy the first 5-6 Tony Hawk games if they re-released them on the current consoles.

While I love new games, its always nice to revisit those great games from my childhood!

Am_Ryder3720d ago

If it can in any way have a shot at Skate.'s throne, I'll be happy. Skate did so much right that THS games did wrong, but there were still a few things Skate could have taken further and never got a chance to.

NYC_Gamer3720d ago (Edited 3720d ago )

I hope the new Tony Hawk game goes in the same realistic gameplay direction as Skate did

acharlez3720d ago

Really?

I like the arcade-y take.

Snookies123720d ago (Edited 3720d ago )

Typically people who skate in real life lean towards Skate more. I loved the Skate games, and keep hoping they'll make more but I can't deny how much I used to love Tony Hawk 1-3 back in the day. Those games were just so fun. I hope if they do make another THPS it'll be like those, just prettier.
