"This game feels like someone trying to launch a Tony Hawk Pro Skater style game in 2015 and it's on early access and like 4 people worked on it"
Damn.
Damn.

While you were being facetious, that actually is true. It's not what I meant, however. I meant more that some users on GAF are more inclined to attack something if they see other users doing it. I'm not defending the game in any way; I did say it was pretty rough, and it's pretty sad that Activision let it come out in this state.
The game looks fun, but without controlling it myself, I can't confirm that. And honestly, by the time the game is under $20, I won't even care about it that much.
Should have gotten people from Vicarious Visions, they made better games on the GBA and DS, than whatever this is.
Did you see that frame rate? Do you want 5 FPS or what?

Haha, the marshmallow mission is exactly the same as the ice cream one.

Seems framerate is crap no matter what mode you are in, wow.

Well I never expected to feel sad from watching gameplay. I loved THPS when I was younger. . this game just seems so lifeless. .

This feels like a game made for online multiplayer with tacked on single player missions, like bot-matches in an online FPS

Man, I wonder if the CoD series will eventually get to this point. Like, in 5 years they'll launch Call of Duty Modern Warfare 4 with all the production and marketing of a budget title.

People still say Hipster like an old man straying children on their lawn?
I think you need a refresher on Big Rigs

I really loved thug and thaw. Diminishing returns sure, but they were still fun skate boarding games.
This is just nothing.
This is just nothing.
From what I saw of a stream last night every level seems to just rehash the same missions each time so it doesn't seem far off the mark.
That happened already, it's called Call of Duty Ghosts.

something tells me shooting people in the face won't wear out its welcome as much as easily as skateboards and plastic guitars

There was more life in THPS levels from what my memory remembers...
Comparing this to Sonic 06 now is complete.

The constant prompt of players leaving and joining the session is rather intrusive. Does it really need to be that big?

I can't believe there's no Horse or Graffiti mode, that's insane to me. That's something that always irks me. When a developer releases diaries talking about how they're such hardcore fans, but the final product says everything but. I'm sure there could be more to it, but that stomping ability alone being a thing AND tacked onto the grind button no less, says otherwise. Well, and so many other things.
Also, is it just me or does it just lack the fluidity from previous games? Watching Jeff do tricks at the skate park when he was going over controls looked all kinds of messy / choppy.

on the plus side the soundtrack doesn't seem so bad

Worse than any actual glitch, that slam move makes everything look like janky trash.

That doesn't look THAT bad to me. Looks like it fits as a $20 downloadable title.
My thoughts exactly after watching this. They kept remarking about how it's $60. I chuckled.

Maybe probably hypothetically theoretically
you could have put that budget to pay Lil Wayne to better use.

The worst part is how utterly joyless this all feels. Like I'd rather do excel tables than this.

Is there any chance this had to be made in order to fulfill a contract with Tony Hawk or something?

Are there any missions where you're not collecting things? jeez

I think it's just missing all the little details the old games had....NPCs and environmental stuff going on, or maybe I'm just remembering it wrong
This just looks like a game full of test levels

That is doing a huge disservice to a bunch of fantastic $20 downloadable games
