This really hurts.

Yeah, and it makes me feel old.

 

[blackflag]

LOL Please tell me this isn't THPS5 because that looks PS2.

 

[Recall]

LOL Please tell me this isn't THPS5 because that looks PS2.

It wouldn't matter what it looked like if it played like the PS2 games.

 

[Linkstrikesback]

To be honest, I actually appreciate some physics bugs in skating games.

YEah, actually, I agree. Back when I was a wee lad and actually playing these sorts of games, seeing how you could break the physics was part of the fun.

I suspect this game is probably past that point though.

 

[whalesex]

I haven't been this excited about a Redbox rental in a long time.

 

[blackflag]

It wouldn't matter what it looked like if it played like the PS2 games.

Yeah that's also true.

TONY HAWK'S: THE THING

 

[DJ88]

You guys are blind to the genius of Robomodo. They made it like this on purpose because it will be huge with the streaming crowd, just like Skate was. This is the Skate 4 everyone's been waiting for haha.

 

[darkwing-buck]

Well there it is.

 

[7threst]

It's been long enough. Maybe replay the good old ones?

I probably should yeah

 

[Pyramid head]

Console cert is only for making sure the game doesn't break the console or mess up someone PSN or Xbox Live. QA is up to the devs/pubs.

As someone who worked in 'cert' for 8 years, that is absolutely, completely untrue. Or it was.

 

[fastmower]

SHOCKING NEWS

 

[Accoun]

Should've been a PSA.

Yeah, Modbot editing "PSA" into "diarrhea" in the title would be really fitting.

 

[NaviLink]

Good contender for most glitchy game released this year. Even Arkham Knight PC was at least in a more or less working state.

 

[Darksol]

If only we had some clue that this game was going to suck.

*strokes the 80 dollars he saved*

 

[Hinchy]

Series revival with the first numbered sequel in years is a cheap, janky, farmed-out mess?

it's Sonic all over again

Spoiler

but even Sonic 4 Episode 1 was probably infinitely more playable than this

 

[pizzacat]

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.

This games like 4gbs?



It just keeps getting better lmaoooo

 

[KingBroly]

You knew Activision lost any semblance of care for the series when they released THPSHD last gen. What should've been an easy HD up-ressing and adding of online leaderboards turned into an Assy Remake.

 

[7DollarHagane]

Pretty obvious this started as a extremely low budget mobile cash in and was reworked hastily to make $60 off some idiots.

Good job Activision.

 

[Mailbox]

$80 CAD people...

Man.....

 

[slapnuts]

shovelware
1. Software that is hastily made, without proper testing, and 'shoveled' down consumers throats in order to make some quick cash.

2. Software that is preloaded onto a computer, that does nothing but slow down performance and does nothing beneficial, but is added in order to increase price or add appeal into purchasing a computer.
1. Battlefield 2: Special Forces Expansion Pack is a recent example of shovelware; it causes CTD's, system failures, massive performance decreases, and addresses NONE of the original game problems.

2. Frank bought a computer just because it had a lot shovelware preloaded onto it, and now it takes 45 minutes to start up.

And there was still people defending it in that previous thread LOL

 

[vagabondarts]

59.99 United States Dollars.

 

[Darksol]

We need a list of names of people who thought this was going to be good, so I know who to ignore in the future

 

[The Dutch Slayer]

59.99 United States Dollars.

I must go, my planet needs me.

 

[Valkrai]

Hawk died on the way back to his home planet.

 

[AdanVC]

I must go, my planet needs me.

Hahahahahahah

 

[Sleight of Jam]

Wow, unbelievable. This industry man, I swear

 

[Sylverstone14]

As expected of Robomodo.

 

[udiie]

this really just calls for EA to make another skate game and for all things to be right in the universe again

 

[Gamezone]

So you can`t even play the game from the physical disc without the "patch"? Crazy. It`s like a new DRM to keep people from knowing how crap the game is before release.

 

[Damaniel]

This is downright criminal. What about the people who don't have their consoles hooked to the Internet? They're paying $60 for a fucking tutorial and nothing else! Of course, those people who have their consoles online and who chose to buy the game sight unseen aren't getting any better of an experience anyway.

 

[PapaEmeritus]

I reaaaaally, trulllly hope- no one will pay 60$ for this hot garbage.

 

[KingBroly]

I was never a fan of Skate. I'd rather have an arcade-y skating game that, you know, didn't suck.

 

[Omega]

EA will probably only see this game sell poorly and think no one wants skate 4

activision why couldn't you at least make this somewhat playable

 

[vagabondarts]

Let's be real, we are just acting entitled though.

Spoiler

/s

 

[FireBeaver]

Can we have at least one good skating game this generation? Please?

 

[5amshift]

Definitely need confirmation on vanilla having tutorial and park creator. This will be icing on the cake if true.

 

[Imbarkus]

59.99 United States Dollars.

For maybe a week. But no less than $29.99 for the rest of time. Activision, everybody!

 

[CopperPuppy]

Oh boy...

This must be the "apparently completely broken" game mentioned in that thread last week, no? I know there was some speculation about Syndicate, but most of the preview footage released was actually very stable.

 

[SlipperyFishes]

Get your ass to Mars

 

[TheSlySoul]

AAA game development everybody!

 

[Chris R]

Holy shit at the game being 4GB and having a 7+GB patch.

 

[Tempy]

With the license expiring, I doubt they'll fix these issues. They'll probably have to pull the game from stores next year; both physical and digital.

Robomodo was never going to get more time to polish this for the same reason.

 

[ramoisdead]

CEO Kaz strikes again.

 

[system11]

Going to need popcorn for this release.

 

[dh4niel]

I guess Tony has to pay the bills somehow hence this game getting a release. I'm sure Activison doesn't give a shit about the licence anymore anyway.

 

[aygomyownroad]

So you can`t even play the game from the physical disc without the "patch"? Crazy. It`s like a new DRM to keep people from knowing how crap the game is before release.

You are not far wrong. Always online was the idea for this gen. It seems that's the case with the amount of games that need one to function.

 

[gossi]

Shipping games before they are even complete (the game essentially isn't even on the disc) is kinda a new low.
