That should be a PS2 controller.

PS1 is the better controller of all PS's

[KingKong]

fuck man, the OP said July 11th and I got hyped up but it's coming out next week

[whitehawk]

Worst fears confirmed. No Glifberg. No Christ Air. :(

WHAT?! No christ air?

My hype is slowly fading. I'll need to try the demo for this before I buy it.

Here's my Spotify playlist. Pretty much every song I could find from the first five games on spotify.

Trying to decide between 360 and steam version. Hrmph

Was there a tony hawk game after 4 worth playing? That's where I stopped.

[PsychoWARD23]

correct, im sorry for your loss

No splitscreen? Really? Shit. Well, at least now I have 20 extra dollars.

THUG 1 and 2 are great.

[PantherLotus]

Sounds awesome. Seeing the warehouse in HD will be freaking amazing.

[Anth0ny]

You should try playing it on a controller with a decent D-pad.

I've never played THPS with a dpad. how the fuck do you play this game with a dpad?

[nofi]

Huh?

[Anth0ny]

Huh?

is it so hard to believe i played a 3d game with an analog stick? it seems like the superior method in every way.

i guess i should have played mario 64 and ocarina of time with a dpad

The only reason I'm not going SSJ4 on you right now is because I played THPS3 on GCube. But only because I didn't own a PS2. Even still, I used the dpad because I'm not a pansy. >:(

I think the argument is that inputting the directions for the different tricks is more accurate with a d-pad. I never really had any issues with using the analogue stick on the original Xbox to play THPS games though. I actually used to just routinely sit down and beat THPS3 is one sitting all of the time. I think I could beat it in, like, a little over an hour each time.

Oh my god. What the hell?!

I need my Christ Air.

Well, that's that. I don't know if I'm getting this now.

no offense but I think they could have made or at least started skate 4 in the time [they] remastered this game

I can't tell if this is a joke or he's completely serious.

I never had a problem inputting the directions with the N64 analog stick, let alone the immaculate GC analog stick.

You used the dpad on the GC controller?

I salute you.

I can't imagine doing crazy trick combo's with the analog stick.

[FyreWulff]

FUCK YES PC VERSION Now I can play it the way it was meant to be played: <3

hi5

Best controller I've played Tony Hawk with

Never had a problem with it. On either N64 or GameCube.

THUG 1 was fun, and Project 8 was the last decent one.

[Dacvak]

No Christ Air? The more I learn about this game, the less I like. I think I'll just bust out my Dreamcast. =\

[Scofield94941]

Played waaaaay more THPS3 than 2 back in the day. Even considered skipping this game since I felt like the THPS3 remake is inevitable. Now I'm not so sure I can hold off for that long. Think I'll mostly be playing this with my ipod on too since I've got no nostalgia for the (what's left of) soundtrack.

they said a little after release it will have DLC of the THPS3 levels so you might want to buy

[Mush]

Do we have a full list of skaters yet? Reynolds is in, right?

Read the OP? Under Skaters :P.

I browse with images turned off, ok! I'm not playing russian roulette with the original post. ;P

[Mush]

OK, now that I can see the OP I can criticise him for the incorrect spelling of Koston. ;)

[EYEL1NER]

I've never played THPS with a dpad. how the fuck do you play this game with a dpad?

Exactly this.
I was a goddamned beast at Tony Hawk, a BEAST, and I used the analog stick. I think I used analog sticks on all of them from THPS to Proving Grouds.
PSone sticks, N64 sticks, Dreamcast sticks, PS2 sticks, GameCube sticks, Xbox sticks, and 360 sticks...I used them all to dominate the virtual skateboard. Only time I used a D-pad was for the GBC and GBA versions. Can't remember if THUG2:Remix on PSP allowed the analog nub or not. If it did, I probably used it.

[The Dutch Slayer]

Ah that explains it. Your on the go/mobile than I assume.

[TerryWogan]

Hmm. Just realised they've also included Hangar, which is essentially Warehouse MkII. Plus two downhill tracks. Not much of a selection really!

I think I would've preferred a complete remake of the first game followed by one of the second, etc. And no HORSE? What were they thinking?!

[bodyboarder]

Nice work on the "click me first" button. Made the thread even better to read.

[plagiarize]

Just uploaded a brief clip (direct-feed, no commentary) of the Hanger: http://youtu.be/cblJd4u2w7w?hd=1

gameplay looks spot on. i'm no massive expert, but it easily passes my 'that looks to play exactly like i remember it' filter, and i beat THPS2 with every character :)

[AlmostMilk]

I really hope the support for this game is good. I want to see lots of DLC for this game.

[normalmode]

Hawkman mode in School II - http://youtu.be/pQm9nWm5qjQ?hd=1

I know, not one of the player's (works at Activision's 3rd party PR firm) best moments.

[bedlamite]

The level select and loading screens look utterly amateurish. At least the feel of the game seems to be unchanged

[Nevasleep]

The Prod1gyx video on Twitch.tv is quite good.
Just skip the dubstep and mute.

Man, letting someone who doesn't know what they're doing loose on your game is a sure fire way to make it look bloody boring!

[VOOK]

The fire barrels in the hanger look like the ones from HL2, is this running on Source or something haha.

[5amshift]

Amazing OP! Explains everything pretty well. Definitely a buy now.

[Razgriz-Specter]

Hope

is in the game.

[pakkit]

There's no split screen in this game?! Dreamcast version of THPS2 is still the best, then.

[Rikkun]

Wait, isn't there a campaign mode?

[pslayer666]

August for the ps3 version.

I just found out, kinda sucks :-S

[EYEL1NER]

Hope is in the game.

With Steve Caballero and Muska not being in the game, I don't get to use my favorite boards.

[CorvoSol]

Man, no Bob Burnquist or Spider-Man? Who the heck am I gonna skate as?

[claviertekky]

This isn't a Smash Bros. thread.

[segarr]

I don't know how people play this with a d-pad. Being able to skate in only eight directions when carefully lining up your orientation for a rail grind seems hard.

Anyway, this just doesn't seem worth it. Only 7 levels is not enough. [money grab for dlc levels] Plus the only one that really looks like it got considerable graphical attention is Warehouse. The rest look way too sterile, especially school. If the demo is the warehouse then I'll just play that over and over :D

I would have preferred if they just took THPS2x, made it widescreen, 1080p and sold that. It'd be soo much more fully featured.

[123rl]

Sad but, sadly, true. How can they justify a compilation game that is missing so many of the game's core features?

[Accoun]

I don't know how people play this with a d-pad. Being able to skate in only eight directions when carefully lining up your orientation for a rail grind seems hard.

Well, there are people who play fighting games with analog sticks. I don't know how can they prefer it than using d-pad. And THPS trick system is pretty much similar to fighting game system, just less complicated...

[CamHostage]

PSN means Vita right? I haven't been keeping up with this, but really want to play these games again. I played Tony Hawk on DS, and while it wasn't all that great, portable TH is awesome.

Nope. I don't know why publishers keep doing this or why Sony lets them (it's like when they advertised all the cool "WiFi" features in PSP games, then come to find out 9/10 times it was local wireless) but PSN just means where you can go buy it, not the system. What platform its on always depends on the product, and this is a PS3 game.

Good rule of thumb: if they say "coming to PSN", it's for PS3; if they mean it's coming to Vita, they'll usually specifically say Vita. Sometimes they'll surprise you and announce it for Vita later (or announce it as a dual-purchase title) but I've yet to see it where a game was teased as a PSN release where it ended up just on the portable (and when the listings are "XBLA, PSN and Steam", assume nothing about a Vita release until they actually announce something.)
