Yes as for as long as we've had Resident Evil and Tomb Raider, Tony Hawk has been just as much a part of the video game industry as he has the extreme sports one. His games had at one point become so popular the industry was flooded with imitators such as MTV Skateboarding, BMXXX and Dave Mirra Freestyle BMX to name but a few."
No one wants to use these wonky game controllers. No one.
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
Looking back at gaming history often throws up some questionable things - including awful games, bad consoles, and terrible peripherals.
That intel wireless gamepad was the inspiration for the 360 wireless racing wheel (and that works really well). I'd say one the author forgot would be the activator from sega.
It's amazing that there are so many different kinds of video games, but there are certain ones that will leave you looking pretty silly.
I'm actually surprised this franchise has lasted for so long. Most celebrity named, things don't usually work out this well. Bet Tony Hawk is loving it though!
This series will always suck until they have Papa Roach in the soundtrack again.
They needed something, to reinvent the franchise, it got totally stale. Then came along Skate, which took a major junk of Tony Hawk audience. It remains to be seen if this is the right direction.
The articles headline couldn't even save itself from a typo, so I'll say no.
I think that we are all a bit tired of all of these expensive plastic add-ons cluttering our living rooms. Guitar Hero, rock band, dj hero, wii this, wii that. Enough already. First of all, Hawk lost most of its followers a while back. Now they come back with an outrageously priced peripheral, that from the looks of it, doesn't make any sense at first view.
Send these guys a message, stop it with all of this plastic junk you're selling us. Enough is enough.
