They didn't release at the same time? Hopefully that version will launch on PC too

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 5 is a glitchy mess

Yeah, it's looked horrible from the jump.
These glitches are going to be Tony Hawk's namesake, like Jesus Bynum. Even after being wrong about them showing video footage pretty regularly, it's absolutely shameful. I think perhaps it's time to let another developer really try their hand at it, or just dead the franchise entirely.
I'll pick it up when it's much cheaper, in the $10 range. Doesn't look like it'll be a long wait :/

what do you mean what kind of effort they put forth?
they are known for bad tony hawk games. activision wanted another, and wanted it DIIIIRRRRRT cheap. And here we are.
thats just what happens when youre trying to do a money grab. i believe the contract for the name ends this year doesnt it? so they rushed a movie out.
same reason sony rushes spiderman movies out the door now. if they dont make one every x years they lose the license (i know things are a bit different now).

Pretty amazing. I can't think of the last time I saw a negative opinion of a bad looking game on GAF. How did you do it? Do you pick stocks?

Guess what, they could have been easily fixed before release but they said "fuck it, not worth the effort"

Look for me on the local news, I'll be the guy arrested for trying to burn down a Nintendo exec's house.
Hopefully this isn't the game some tragic game journos were jerking themselves off over knowing was a "mess" because no shit, pretty much everyone knew this was gonna be a disaster.

Most of these these glitches are POST-7GB patch (close to double the size of the game). They are not off to a good start.
The kicker is that this exact issue was in HD as well.

Blasting this so hard right now.
I just want ONE DAY there to be such a good THPS game once again like 2-3 where.
Well yeah this is the core of the issue.

That video made me laugh so hard it makes me want the game more.
But for a lot cheaper than they probably want.
I really want someone to post clips similar to Eurogamer's video, but with Superman in slow-mo. Lol.

Its a rushed Activisiob cash-in to squeeze the last cents out of the franchise. It won't get any meaningful patches.
So Eurogamer managed to grab over 2 minutes of glitches in less than an hour? Hey, that's only 3% of the entire play experience - we should be ignoring those minor quirks and paying attention to the other 97%... /s
I know that Activision has been shitting on the Tony Hawk legacy for years now, but this game is shaping up to be the worst of the bunch BY FAR. I'm saddened by how far the series has fallen since the glory days of THPS 2/3/4, which I spent literally hundreds of hours playing. Time to put it out to pasture (that, or take it out behind the barn and shoot it dead).

Well, if the video is all we have to go on:
1: Ragdoll physics go berserk near slopes and corners
2: Ragdolls clip through trickable objects
2: Bail trajectories aren't correctly calculated near walls
3: Rail grind directions reverse instead of causing a bail
4: That weird rail corner. Probably a variant of the same bug causing 3.
Doesn't sound like an unfixable mess, but then again we could only have scratched the surface of what's going wrong.

It's almost as if cert is lacking and should be doing more to protect consumers.

What a fucking disgrace. I don't think I've ever said this about a developer, but it's clear as a team Robo is incompetent. Also Activision is really to blame for this. Letting Robomodo make it, not scrapping the game after initial responses, and pushing the game out in this state.
I'm more baffled that there's lens flare in this game.
I really want a new good Hawk-game. I'm not happy
It's been long enough. Maybe replay the good old ones?

Wow... it's as if nobody except you saw this coming. Truly amazing.
Considering how easy it was for Eurogamer to find issues (from the footage, I get the impression they weren't actively trying to break it), I'm guessing there are fundamental issues that will prevent everything from being fixed just by tossing out a couple patches. Hell, this footage all came from a patched copy of the game, so you have to wonder how bad it was out of the box!
I'd be tempted to buy it just for the laughs, but I refuse to reward a company for shitting in a box and delivering it to their customers.

I truly hope this is the game mentioned in the other thread. Let's see how long it takes for this game to get priced correctly

Looks like I have a new go-to!
Not surprised this game is a big turd, though. The lack of attention Activision was giving it was a giant red flag.
