over and over and over until we all get old.

Tony Hawk was dope back in the day when it first came out. But it's refreshing to have something new. I liked that Skate demo more than THPG.

harv0526014d ago

I think the THPS machine has died down. I used to be a big fan, but it's just too much of the same old stuff...

Bnet3436014d ago

choose your own path? WTF, you did that in underground n sh*t. skate is refreshing, Activision needs to come up with something different. Project 8 was the last straw

MK_Red6014d ago

Skate all the way. It had superb and innovative controls, felt fresh, the areas were nice and realisitc and finally, the graphics did feel next-gen and style was there.
Tony Hawk's Proving Ground? Let's see. No innovations (Just some added nail the... moves), same controls, feels really dated and much like most of previous games, areas are getting really old and the graphics are really not much different than a good looking PS2 game, the only difference is in resolution here. THPG's only plus is it's video edit system that is better and deeper than Skate's. The level editor things didn't help much. Story and characters as always lame.
Skate: 8.5/10
THPG: 4.5/10

Skate was just a down right fun and refreshing game. Being a skater myself it really did add a sense of realism that button mashing just can't give. Skating is all about finess and technique (and being a very hard sport to get a hang of) and Skate really delivered the goods. The only issue I had (being an oldschool skater) was going downhill on a trick board. I was hoping that some really oldschool tricks/skateboards would be in the game since I heard that downhill was involved, but oh well that's just me. If your a skater and you want somethin' to play when it's raining or when you wreck yourself and break something, skate is THE game for you.

skate definitely kicks the crap outta tony hawk. i too, a former skater, enjoyed the hell outta skate a lot more than any other TH game. the controls do need some more tweaking imo. my roommate spent 2 hours alone on the Rob and Big 360 flip to fs crooked grind....and still hasnt hit it.

Fux4Bux6014d ago

Yeah Tony Hawk is the same ridiculous crap and it has gotten boring. Skate has an amazing completely physics based control scheme and refreshes skateboarding games. I'm really surprised it didn't get too much critical acclaim and Tony Hawk is still doing well with a vastly superior game out.

oh dear god, please let it be good.

Kosic126d ago (Edited 126d ago )

These guys are pretty cringe. Also the look of the new skate looks boring compared to games like Skater XL and Sessions. I'm not a fan of the arcade skate Sims

EA's new 'Skate' is a free-to-play live service game

It won't be pay-to-win and none of the map will be behind a paywall.

Can you please share us an image depicting the issue?

boing1653d ago

I kind of like the idea of free, social skateboarding game in an open world.

sourOG653d ago

Lmao of course… that blows

Inverno653d ago

I mean it could work. They could easily sell branded cosmetics which could pull in quite a bit of money if done right, but I can't say I'm not a bit disappointed. I'll try it cause I really like the series, but it'll suck if this fails cause I really like the series lol

Kornholic653d ago

"If done right" lmao. The only way to do that right is to make them unlockable via in game progression.

Inverno653d ago

If done right they can do it like how Minecraft has done it for years and people don't have an issue with how MC does it. I wanna hate on EA just as much as the next guy, but I'll wait until after they ruin Skate to have a negative opinion on it.

I'm sure R* knows the Nintendo Switch install base and probably dont really care to port over more R* games to the Nintendo Switch tho i gotta say playing GTA4 & RDR1 on the go on the Nintendo Switch would be dope

Knightofelemia656d ago

I would buy Lollipop Chainsaw, Alice Madness Returns, Enslaved, Splatter House, Brutal Legends, Dante's Inferno, and Dead Space for sure if they were ported to the Switch.

Mobis-New-Nest656d ago

Deus Ex Human Revolution would be a great title to The Holy Grail of All Consoles aka The Nintendo Switch*. Also Haze Remastered, Grand Theft Auto 4 and 5 Remastered, Silent Hill HD Collection, Max Payne 3 Remastered, Call of Duty World At War Remastered, The Orange Box Remastered, Halo Master Chief Collection, Left 4 Dead 1 and 2 Remastered, Metal Gear Solid 4 Remastered, Afro Samurai Remastered, Demons Souls Remastered, Xmen Destiny Remastered, Jack and Daxter Collection, Def Jam Icon Remake, Folklore Remastered, Spiderman Edge of Time Remastered, Persona 5 remastered, the list goes on. (*Best Selling Console of All Time)

MontyeKristo656d ago (Edited 656d ago )

Can we just get a Bully 2? 😒

iplay1up2656d ago

Seriously? Isn't it time Nintendo make a Switch successor? I mean they have the sales and money.
