Never say no one. There’s always going to be someone who’s contrarian who’s gotta say they’re actually a fan of one of these

i had the jaguar and cd32 and yeah, their stock controllers werent all that. They got the job done but there were better ones. The 6 button jag controller felt better to hold and incorporated more sculpting for the hands and fingers to reach the number pad easier. And the competition pro cd32 was like a genesis controller in shape and comfort. Way better than the stock one.

As for kinect, it worked, it was fun but i liked the non gaming uses for it. some people got pretty creative with reverse engineering that thing.

The Ouya controller was incredibly poor. Looked nice but quality of doad buttons triggers was that of a cheap knockoff you get for £1.99 on ebay

Tony Hawk’s designer: 'the suits decided people don't want skateboarding games'

From PlayStation Universe: "The original designer of the Tony Hawk's games talks about the history of the franchise and the future of the Pro Skate series."

THPS5 sucked and so did every TH game since THUG. Make better games

PeaSFor2308d ago

i adored THPS1,2,3,4 & Project 8.....that said i always prefered Thrasher:Skate&Destroy.

madforaday2307d ago

I still play American Wasteland, just got 16 million on a improv run in Kyoto.

Profchaos2308d ago

5 sucked because the level designers thought people just wanted small skate parks with nothing hidden instead of the grand expensive levels like the prison in thps4 or school In thps2.

The biggest let down of 5 outside of the bugs was entirely level design it was like they made everything in the old create a park mode.
Next to that the missions were terrible nothing new outside of the first level rinse and repeat missions throughout.

Activision was like we're out of time quickly throw together a game make it cell shades so we can literally get it out the door in a month

PlayableGamez-2308d ago

American Wasteland was awesome.

NarooN2308d ago

THUG1 was great and my overall favorite, THUG2 had great gameplay but had a shitty story and atmosphere. All downhill from THUG2.

madforaday2307d ago

I don't think ANYONE played THPS for the story lol

NarooN2306d ago

I didn't play the games *for* the story but it having a good story doesn't hurt the game at all. THUG1 had a good one and then THUG2 shat all over it (quite literally in some cases.) Oh well.

PurpHerbison2307d ago

I always felt like they started going downhill after THPS4. Netplay was so fun back in the day.

I was all aboard the hype train for THPS5 but then I played that steaming turd, maybe next time don't rush out a crappy unfinished game.

Yeah it really sucks but I mean, I get it. "Everybody else rushes products and makes money, we might as well do the same!" WOMP WOMP

TheSplooge2308d ago

Who cares? Your games haven't exactly been that great after the PS1/2 days.

TheSplooge2308d ago

@Krysis:

EA or not, its still a better game lol.

madforaday2307d ago

@TheSplooge

Two totally different games, one was a combo based game with over the top moves, the other was more grounded in reality.

Cyro2308d ago

Well if we get trash after trash for years, what do you expect?

Kosic2308d ago

When you release a basic skating game then continue to make the same game every year, same engine, same missions, almost same levels. Who isn't going to be bored of the franchise.

The game is an arcade skater and it's just boring to play. Believe my last Tony Hawk's game I tried was project 8 and it was terrible.

After EA released Skate. There was no going back to a lack luster game from Activision.

I'd be up for skate 4, or another title that uses a similar control scheme (unsure on sessions).

yellowgerbil2308d ago

Hey at least project 8 showed the world Clubfoot by Kasiaban
