I meant it wasn't included on the disc, but I can see I should have worded it better. So I fixed it. Thanks guys.

I lol'd.

Simple version:

 

[fernoca]

How the fuck they released a game like this and still charge full price is beyond me.

Holy shit.

Guess contractual obligation, like when they released X-Men Dimensions. Heck, Tony Hawk has been talking about this game more than Activision per se.

 

[Possumowner]

Who couldve guessed.I mean it looked "special" in the previews id seen

 

[MaximumSpider]

They can't keep getting away with this!

 

[RedToad64]

Probably intentionally broken - watch this sell millions to the Youtube crowd.

I sure hope I'm joking.

This is what I was thinking.

 

[k4n3]

remember that tweet from hawk about being able to play it 3 days early? lmao id pay so much money to see his reaction after playing this for the first hour

 

[5amshift]

Incredible that Robomodo hasn't commented at all..

Well, he apparently could only play the tutorial before today. Maybe the tutorial is super tight.

 

[Doctor_Thomas]

This looks like it should be a cheap downloadable game on stream that Jim Sterling could make fun of.

[QuantumSquid]

I am simultaneously sad about this because like many I have fond memories of the original THPS games, but I can't help but be pleased at the fact that it will make amazing gif material.

[killroy87]

i...i think i'm more tempted to play this game now than i was when it just looked like a painfully average THPS game.

 

[fierrotlepou]

That guy is gonna get his fever dream skating alright.

Compared to the random piles of literal garbage he sifts through on Steam, THPS 5 is a quality game.

 

[weevles]

Is this supposed to be a Goat Simulator parody?

 

[jett]

What exactly does Sony's QA department check for? If the game is going to make the PS4 spontaneously combust?

Tony Hawk's Contractual Obligation 5

 

[jabuseika]

This is $60?!

Perfect.

Of course they're praising it as The Great Return.

IGN, man...

I don't think they've said anything critical yet.

 

[RPGCrazied]

IGN, man...

I guess the check cleared.

 

[Sai-kun]

Incredible that Robomodo hasn't commented at all..

They probably never will.

 

[katagai]

We all thought the hoverboard thing was a prank, guess in reality it was really mocap for the game.

 

[bombshell]

Of course they're praising it as The Great Return.

IGN, man...

9/10 confirmed.

 

[gwiz210]

This looks fun

 

[Bumhat]

I'll just leave this here.

 

[thenexus6]

I'll just leave this here.

Legendary

 

[Neoxon]

Would this be the Fant4stic of video games?

 

[ComputerBlue]

I'll just leave this here.

Tony Recall!!! Hilarious.

I remember that some time ago "Pro" was a pretty big series of games for Activision. There was titles like Kelly Slater's Pro Surfer, Mat Hoffman's Pro BMX 1&2 or Shaun Palmer Pro Snowboarder and every one of them was at least good. Why this type of games is not popular anymore? Making THPS5 a budget game means that Activision was not expected great sales anyway. Or maybe they just don't want to invest serious money in any titles except CoD, I don't know.

 

[StNd]

Damn, even after that huge patch it's still a mess.

I need to warn some friends who could buy this out of nostalgia.

 

[MrSaturn99]

My favorite.

Tony Hawk is a professional skateboarder, with everything going for him, but he's about to become.... A wall.



From the creators of Tum Ta Tittaly Tum Ta Too, Tony Hawk is about to find out, that being a wall is harder than it looks.

lmao

 

[dose]

Update: without the patch the game isn't playable, you can just do the tutorial.

Seriously? Fuck they should be taken to task over this.

 

[Tainted]

Funny, it didn't seem that bad in the twitch stream the other day. 'tis a shame though...I was hoping that THPS5 would be decent

I'm fucking dying at this thread!!

 

[Green Yoshi]

Dying of laugh, this game is just a complete mess!

Did they also make the Goat Simulator? ;-)

Hmmm... Matt Hoffman was pretty dire.

There was a bit of a surge in extreme sports games thanks to the first Tony Hawk game, which no-one really expected to do well. That's kind of over now though, and unfortunately it's always going to be a bit of a niche area. The companies that can make those games can no longer afford to take the risk.

There was a new BMX game being worked on, with an emphasis on realism like Skate, but I don't think it'll ever see the light of day. Hopefully someone else can give more detail.

edit - the BMX game might still be being worked on!

 

[Wag]

Of course they're praising it as The Great Return.

IGN, man...

This game is the The Great Return of Tetris.

 

[TetraGenesis]

9/10 confirmed.

The worst thing is you can tell they want to talk shit but every time someone starts to voice it, the other deflects it and changes the subject.

Just happened: Zach starts to criticize the load screen, "It's gotta kind of a weird loading sequence though, right?" Marty retorts, "You've got a weird loading sequence." They laugh and drop it. I really like Marty too but it feels pretty scummy.

 

[BobTheFork]

I wasn't interested in a new Tony Hawk much. It's kind of sad, but It's way better that this game is a fucking mess, since now I'm getting some interest from it.

 

[xaeroxcore]

Why Activision, whyyyy?

 

[Agent_Carnage]

So will this earn Buggiest game of the year?

 

[Agent_Carnage]

I'll just leave this here.

My sides man...

 

[The Scrivener]

What an utter load of crap. How bad that the game needs to be downloaded via patch. What the hell?!

Nice

 

[meanspartan]

Hey lets get rid of Neversoft and have robomodo, makers of ride, make the first mainline Tony Hawk game in about a decade!

...it depresses me that people are paid way more money than me to make decisions like this.

 

[Tainted]

The Giant Bomb crew are going to rip this one apart in around 15mins
