After the train wreck that was Tony Hawk: Ride, Activision has a lot of ground to cover with its follow-up, Tony Hawk: Shred. Gameplaybook has five suggestions as to what can make the sequel better.
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
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.
Continue Play's Oliver Zimmerman thinks back to all those disappointing moments in gaming's bumpy past.

All 10 entries on the same page?
What magic is this?!?
In all seriousness, this is a well-worded and thoughtful look at the missteps in the gaming industry. Great job!
Story quality - Excellent
Like the Website - Yes
No order
1. PSN down for a month, the month Portal 2, SOCOM, Mortal Kombat, and other games came out at that.
2. Xbox One reveal
3. Zipper Interactive shut down
4. PS3 from launch until 2009
5. Crash Bandicoot and Spyro not owned by Sony or ND and Insomniac respectively.
6. The Wii
7. RRoD
8. Microtransactions
9. Activision killing Tony Hawk and Guitar Hero by releasing it too often
10. David Hayter not voice of Snake anymore
Bonus: infamous 2 reveal with that weird looking douchebag they called "Cole McGrath". I'm glad they changed the look of him back to normal though.
In my most humble of opinions, the Kinect 2.0 is the biggest letdown in the last few years I can think of. The 1:1 tracking and voice recognition were severely lacking at launch. I know this is a polarizing topic, but its just my thoughts.
....not make it, because the Tony Hawk series is dead and it's Activision fault.
Nice read, but I don't think the Tony Hawk games can be saved.
Hey, I'm willing to try anything. I like Pro Skater 2 that much. :D
2. Bring back classic Tony Hawk style gameplay where you use the face buttons to pull off your sick combos.
3. Allow the game to be played using BOTH face buttons AND analog so that people like me who prefer the classic style of play (ie face buttons) are not left out in the cold.
4. Dont over complicate your game like you did with Tony Hawks Proving Ground (too many missions and a lot of them were boring due to having to film yourself and take pictures and all that BS)
5. Make sure that theres real life videos of each skater when you complete the game (its time for another Rodney Mullen masterclass IMO) and of course the classic "bail" videos
That is all.
all they need to do is go back to the Tony Hawk 4 formula.
people that think SKATE is too much of a challenge will eat it up.
