Ahh yes.
As predicted, this game is going to rock YouTube.
Glitches gifs threads are going to be hilarious

 

[BroBot]

I really wanted it to be good...

 

[Valkrai]

You know, it's kind of a shame because that art style looks way better in motion than it did in stills.

Now where is the next skate game?

Right now it's only Project Session that could be close to the Skate games.

 

[5amshift]

I should actually pick up a physical copy since this game might be rare down the line.
That's how these things happen.

 

[Bringer Of Bacon]

I am laughing so hard my coworkers are giving me funny loops

 

[Sleight of Jam]

I feel truly sorry for anyone that spent $60+ on this and especially those who bought it digitally.

I don't, people should have learned from Activision by now.

 

[Data West]

Also, straight up


some of the music tracks glitch. I am dead serious.

 

[Manu]

Someone needs to gif that moonwalk he does at 0:30 and add "haters gonna hate" to it.

 

[jackal27]

"All footage recorded in under 60 minutes of gameplay." WHAT!?

I can't believe somebody would even publish this in good conscience. Also, I hadn't actually seen any footage of the game. It really looks THAT ugly? My word.

 

[AdanVC]

I don't, people should have learned from Activision by now.

They will not learn and they will pay 50 bucks for CoD: Black Ops 3 for 360/PS3

 

[Steroyd]

1 hour, 1 goddamn hour with the game produced that montage.

This game has exceeded my expectations, it's going to be glorious, but I can't help but think this is actually a genius move by Robomodo, halfway through development they went "fuck it" and decided to gun for Pewdiepie bait... Nah I'm giving them too much credit.

 

[Dennis]

 

[BizzyBum]

On the bright side, we have about 40 new dead.gifs we can use.

 

[Baron von Loathsome]

You should've seen the reactions.

 

[Purple Cheeto]

No, definitely not, they said it was a AAA game and this is not a AAA game lmao. (And we know this because clearly the game's budget was pitiful, it was sent to die).

Most of these 'glitches' are clipping issues with respect to the ragdoll physics but not even previous THPS games (which used ragdoll physics for when you fell off your board or crashed) at least had the decency to make sure the character didn't, ever, clip through the ground.

Just terrible programming, either that or negligence.

As a programmer who has worked on glitchy messes, I feel it is unfair to blame the programmers without knowing the whole story. Very few programmers would feel good about shipping a game in this state and this smells more of management rushing a product out than programmers not caring.

 

[SliceSabre]

I honestly feel bad for Tony Hawk he just wants them to make a good Tony Hawk like they used to and Activision just does not give a fuck and probably told the devs to get this shit out the door on time no matter what.

 

[GeordieMark]

Good god. That is a travesty.

It should never have been allowed to see the light of day.

 

[oti]

What if that's their plan to make PewDiePie to play it and boost its sales like Skate?

 

[Raide]

I hope this pitiful game sells 2 copies and both get returned. Goddamn they messed this one up badly.

 

[Waveset]

At every stage of bad news with this game, I've reserved judgment and stayed optimistic. Now I can admit I was wrong and I'm a better person because of that.

 

[SolidSnakex]

What makes these glitches especially bad is that they're just doing normal things into the game rather than something they may trigger them like repeatedly jumping into a wall or a corner. So it means that they'll break the standard gameplay.

 

[PapaEmeritus]

Got me a free redbox rental of this and ill have a few beers tonight- sure to be a knee slapping good time

[The Jackdog]

Sony and MS said this was fine to launch on their consoles eh?

thats not how cert works.

if it doesnt break the console, it passes cert.

the game being buggy as hell while youre playing it is moot.

 

[PapaEmeritus]

Trick name seems appropriate

 

[Data West]

What if that's their plan to make PewDiePie to play it and boost its sales like Skate?

PewDiePie played Skate because he likes the Skate games

 

[Sho_Nuff82]

How could this be worse graphically and physics wise to a game that came out in 2001, and still cost $60? How?

 

[Pillville]

You should've seen the reactions.

OMG. I had to stop looking because I was laughing out loud at work.

Congratulations. It was pretty damn obvious from the start though.

 

[BGBW]

Running in a cyclone.

 

[MUnited83]

I'm amazed that some people in the previous Tony Hawk threads were actually giving Robomodo a chance. Lol, come on now, this was always going to be a Hot mess.

 

[AdanVC]

Has Tony Hawk himself said something about this mess?? He is such a cool guy I'm actually feel bad he is now going to be remembered for this awful glitchy gifs rather than his magnificent real life tricks.

 

[kAmui-]

Second face on mars?

It's not good but just about as much effort as they seem to have put into this game.

Spoiler

I'm not necessarily blaming the developers

canada says hi

 

[Rizzi]

I am shocked.

 

[Philippo]

Is this the completely broken game they told us to expect?

Edit: It's Robomodo, what did you expect?

Insta-fucking-bought

 

[Superfrog]

This is hilarious.

This isn't tony Hawks first push to the mainstream he will be remembered for being tony hawk not for this lmaoo

 

[JORMBO]

I shouldn't have opened this thread while on a conference call. Can't stop laughing.

Yeah I think I exaggerated a bit haha. But omg I'm just sad for how this game turned out

 

[Data West]

Is there a way to hide a game you own from your ps4 library

 

[JohngPR]

I expected the game to be crap, but not in this way. I know that there are reasons why publishers would push games that could use more time, but this has farther reaching implications than just this game. I can't imagine the THPS franchise recovering from putting this out.

There have been bad TH games in the past, but all of the numbered titles have been good. Putting a "5" on this sets an expectation that this game was never going to meet.

 

[killroy87]

I stand my prediction that 360/PS3 versions never see the light of day.

 

[skLaFarebear]

Is there a way to hide a game you own from your ps4 library

Boot up a bunch of other games until its pushed into the library in the back.

At least you won't see it in the front with the other games.

 

[Xater]

Is there a way to hide a game you own from your ps4 library

No, you have to live with your shame.

 

[Pinkuss]

Wow. And I assume some of those Metactitic user reviews are from the Dev team/Activision/Tony himself?

"It is a masterpiece!!! The game is gorgeous, good graphics and game play. In my opinion, the best in the series. Ten out of ten!!! I do not understand people who put the estimate below"

"younger generation review classics like the THPS franchise. Graphics 2! Sound 3! Please put your GamePro rating system aside and review the game for what it is: A combo-based skateboarding game. Adding realistic physics and animation will take away from the fast-paced gameplay that we seasoned gamers have loved since its inception. If you want a skateboard sim, plug in your PS3 and play the Skate series, or better yet, download True Skate on your iPhone. THPS is a classic and they did a good job preserving the feel of the original. Olli Olli has 8 bit graphics but the gameplay can't be beat because of the exciting combos you can pull off. Now go out and get this game, and meet me at the skate park."

 

[pizzacat]

Why?

This is great. No need to hide unwarranted shame, I'm literally driving to gamestop as we speak I need this

 

[Mahonay]

I'm amazed that some people in the previous Tony Hawk threads were actually giving Robomodo a chance. Lol, come on now, this was always going to be a Hot mess.

I didn't understand this either. Robomodo's history with making these games is dire. Just a glance at the game visually on its own should have been enough to indicate what kind of effort they were putting forth.
