Never played split-screen TH and I bought the first 6. My friends and I would compare high-scores and that was it, never felt the need to be in a tiny box doing it all at the same time.

Is spiderman

in

THE GAME?

[MMaRsu]

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

It's a pretty half ass cash grab..

Is spiderman in THE GAME?

No.

[iNvid02]

It doesnt

look

LIKE IT

Thanks a lot mate! Really awesome work on your part bringing them all together!

[123rl]

Cheers. I've decided to boycott the game and just go and find the original games. I just bought Tony Hawk 2x from eBay.

This doesn't have online mp, correct?

Incorrect? There's a video showing multiplayer modes.

[ReXXXSoprano]

Damn, just peeped the OP and no Private Carrera/Trixie? Maybe they'll make it as DLC later on. I might have to pop in 2X in the meantime.

So all the levels aren't even here? How lazy could they be?

Yes... laziness. That's it.

you know level packs be dlc sometime down the road. they're already doing a THPS3 level pack.

Activision just showed a Deadpool game ....


I'm not saying ... but ...

[Hawkins]

I do love this game, been playing it for about a week, and it does suck that some features are not in it, and there are some glitches, actually a lot of them, but it's still brings back all the old memories from when I was a kid. Can not wait for the DLC packs.

Hawk

[POWERSPHERE]

It's not Skate 4...

[Polari]

I really want this, but playing with 360's shitty ass d-pad has me concerned. On the upside, no shitty ass RATM. Swings and roundabouts.

[MMaRsu]

Yeah I still want this too :(

I doubt it uses the D-pad, haven't heard anyone mention it.

[Criminal Upper]

Excellent OT. Can't wait!

[BruiserBear]

Of course it uses the d-pad, but you can also use the analog stick.

So I was playing this over the weekend and was pretty bummed out. I'm not sure if it's just because I haven't played a THPS in a while and have moved on or what, but this game controlled kind of like dog shit. There was a very strange sense of speed I don't remember from the games. I would be moving slower than shit then the speed would ramp up right when I would hit a kick ramp or quarter pipe. Really awkward. Spinning in the air felt very slow and would only rotate about 90 degrees on flat ground. Causing my board to completely stop and a bail. Very frustrating. Hopefully it's just me not being used to the controls anymore and they will grow on me again, because I really did love this series.

How did you get it early?

[POWERSPHERE]

[Fletcher]

Oh, that's odd. I don't remember saying that I got the game early. Thought I just said I had played it over the weekend.

I have a friend that was working around the 360 booth at comic con. Spent about 2 hours+ playing it. Most people were gravitating towards the RE6, Borderlands 2, AC3 demos.

[Daigoro]

i cant imagine this game has aged well. also, i refuse to use the 360's dpad to actually control a game, and playing Tony Hawk with the analog stick doesnt sound like fun.

think im most likely going to pass on this one.

[TheSeks]

$5 for Revert that won't even work in the base game? WTF, Activision. You might as well not have included that. :|

There should be a petition to patch the whole game for revert. Couldn't be impossible if they worked it into the DLC levels.

[Hawkins]

The speed os crazy sometimes, but my biggest complaint is the fact that sometime he just bails for no reason in mid air, and the rag doll effect is super annoying. But overall it's still extremely fun.

Why are you signing your posts?

Those levels are from THPS3, aren't they? Of course revert works there.

Perhaps you're used to playing with characters with max stats. That might explain the slow rotation speed, at least.

It's amazing how quickly I went from "Can't wait" to "Not going to bother at all" with this game. Shame, really.

[schwupp]

uh no revert addition in the old thps?
this game will feel weird

[Bomber Bob]

revert dlc

[TheSeks]

I think he means the base game. And really, if I'm paying $5 for revert, I'd expect it to work with the base game even if it "breaks the game because the maps aren't built for revert" instead of just the THPS3 and beyond levels.

It's a waste of $5 for a combo extender on only four maps, really.

[Curufinwe]

But the $5 also pays for those maps, doesn't it?

Sounds like you're playing with a non-levelled up character. In the old games you had to buy points to increase your speed, spin speed, jump height and a bunch of other stats. People have memories of playing it with max'd characters so I expect the reality of starting from scratch will be quite jarring.

That's what happened to me when I started a fresh save on Tony 2 last year. Took a couple of levels to get the feeling back and start buying upgrades.

right. as someone who went through the game repeatedly starting over and maxing out all the characters, i've been confused by all these comments about the physics looking wrong, but i think you may have just hit the nail on the head.

collect cash. upgrade your skater. do as many goals in a single run.

i am very excited for this even though i'm now officially waiting for the PC version. i'll be all over the demo for ages first, and that just seems right somehow. :)

Yes, I mean that eventually they should patch the whole game to work with revert if you've bought the DLC for THPS3 levels. And anyone, why are they being purists now? Throughout the years, later Hawk games have incorporated "classic" levels into games with revert (School 2 in Underground for example) and I thought it added a lot to the game. Bottom line: if the manual is going to be in THPS1 levels, there is no reason why the revert shouldn't be in levels from the first two games.

[Curufinwe]

Time and money is probably the reason. They don't want to spend it balancing the THPS 1 and 2 levels for reverts.

I'm debating whether to get this or Dyad tomorrow. Maybe I'll get Dyad and wait for the PS3 version of THPS so I can use the Dual Shock 3's D-pad.

[out0v0rder]

wow no splitscreen.

i guess thats that.

It comes out Wednesday. Now you can get both!

[georgetheplushie]

Might as well take manuals out of the THPS1 levels if they're so scared of reverts affecting the gameplay. The real reason reverts will only work in the THPS3 levels is so the scores will be balanced for the people who decide not to pony up the $5. Obvious solution: Make reverts able to be toggled off and on and set up separate leaderboards for reverts off or on. Or just give reverts to everyone. It's not like the scores in career mode matter that much anyway or that they couldn't rebalance them.

not that it couldn't be done, but you'd really have to create seperate leaderboards then for all those levels for people playing with revert. arguably new score total and combo goals too.

we're being purists because a lot of us stopped giving a shit before Underground etc came out. reverts were always silly. manuals always weren't. i'd take spine transfers over reverts any day. why am i chaining with a really goddamn dumb trick? oh, because people want to be able to keep a combo going on every single item in the level.

[Arla]

The game is missing a lot of content. I'll wait until it builds up into a complete game through all the DLC and patches.

[brokenbeans]

I have to use the d pad really?

Bugger.

the revert doesn't just serve that purpose though. the manual gives a serious advantage to street skaters. i saw the revert as a way of uniting both playstyles.

[rhfb]

The only problem with this is that the 360 dpad sucks ass. The first THPS games play so much better on a dpad though (I played the first on my N64 using the dpad and it was great!).
