This is an HD remaster of Grind Session.

 

[The_Dama]

wtf was that? Project 8 looks better than this shit. So disappointing. The game feels dead.

 

[GeneralManager]

I loved Geoff Keighly saying it looks phenomenal. That guy is a true politician.

He described it as visually stunning as well...which honestly I think is a fair assessment.

 

[Frozenprince]

So here I am

doing everything I can

holding on to what I am

pretending this game isnt gonna be dogshit

Dude you are on point right now.

 

[Breakage]

Is this an OG Xbox game?

 

[Ridley327]

Surely it's at least 60 frames, right? RIGHT?!

Keighley and Hawk said as much in the video.

It definitely doesn't look nearly as immediately awful as the physics were for THPS HD, but it still needs some work. Rail snapping is way too fast right now.

The graphics are, well... yeah.

 

[SoulUnison]

This is the first time I've ever thought "Looks like a PS2 game" was accurate.

Looks like one of those rare Progressive Scan or 1080i PS2 games.

 

[TheVampire]

I prefer that Project 8 game.

 

[Harmen]

Hahaha, wow. I am actually laughing here. How come a modern game of a well known franchise looks like this?! (and looks worse than previous entries?!).

Usually I think gaf is complaining too much, but this truly looks the part of all posts in this thread. Man, I am not sure if this is more hilarous or sad. Probably both equally.

 

[Rupe]

I hate when people do this, but I looked at the youtube stream when this footage was being shown and I legitimately thought it was one of their older games... just, what is happening with this game?

 

[Akahige]

The hell are those physics? Hawks teleporting to rails and shit.

 

[-MD-]

They finally made Tony Hawk good again?

Bring it to PC and I'll buy it.

 

[Bluekaveli]

Bwahaha wtf

 

[Easy_D]

Is that fucking distance fog on the School level? In this day and age? Distance fog? Really?

 

[Kamek]

Yo LMAO. You're really killing it in this thread.

What platforms is this going to be on?

 

[amnesiac]

Is that fucking distance fog on the School level? In this day and age? Distance fog? Really?

atmosphere, dude!

 

[NeptunePirate]

Wow. My hype is killed. I guarantee this was a mobile game they decided to release on consoles instead. Screw you Activision.

 

[Falchion]

Not going to judge until I play but it could use some work in the looks department.

 

[Silver Arrows]

Also, how about that ass quality skater list? Only three names I know other then Hawk. His son, Chris Cole and Andrew Reynolds.

 

[timshundo]

Graphically this is really rough, but if it plays true to its roots and it plays well, that's really all that's important to me. Who knows, maybe this is a $14.99 download.

Even better: freemium.

 

[Data West]

How many times can they bring back fucking Warehouse


Like that's really what you're going with as the first stage you show off?

 

[Poimandres]

This looks ridiculously hilariously bad. I am actually shocked at how bad it looks.

Some people talk about "last gen graphics" and it's almost always an exaggeration... in this case? This would be unimpressive as a PS3/360 game.

If they are intending to sell this for a budget price it's sort of understandable, but if they are palming this off for full price it is absolutely unacceptable.

 

[Gentleman Jack]

So here I am

doing everything I can

REMEMBER WHEN

REMEMBER WHEN

THPS LOOKED SO BEAUTIFUL

NEVER AGAIN

NEVER AGAIN

 

[Salsa]

no more

video games

from them



as you

rush inside your room

it's official

you've gone

you can make no games for no one else

man the guilt must be huge

 

[Arkam]

ARE YOU GOING WITH ME, CAUSE IM GOING WITH YOU, THIS SHIT JUST KILLED THE FRAAAANCHIIIIIISE

If that Down Hill Jam didnt kill teh Franchise nothing short of an Orbital Nuke will.

But yea this looks like ass. Especially when compared to the HD remake released not too long ago.

 

[Obscura]

That looks incredibly disappointing. This can't possibly be a full priced retail game.

 

[MMaRsu]

It looks absolutely horrible.

I mean goddamn.

 

[Deleted member 57681]

Somehow it looks even worse than in my wildest dreams.

 

[PSqueak]

They might have gone a bit too far with the "back to its roots" idea...

 

[Bo Knows GAF]

The songs in this thread are killing me

 

[keisuke999]

I just want it to be fun

 

[Ridley327]

If that Down Hill Jam didnt kill teh Franchise nothing short of an Orbital Nuke will.

With a series that's seen the Ride installments and fucking HD, and you go with Downhill Jam as the franchise killer?

 

[TI82]

To be fair Project 8 didn't look so good either

 

[J10]

The visuals don't make any sense. Console games in 2015 should not look like this.

 

[Yoshichan]

Physics are waaaaay too snappy and grinds lock on to the rails from like three feet into the air

It doesn't look like THPS2, it looks like the Gameloft knock off

Yeah, THPS2 wasn't "snappy" nor did the grinds lock on to rails and whatnot. Not at all!

 

[Green Yoshi]

Is this a PS2 game?

Don't insult the PS2. ;-)

THPS 3 looked nicer from an artistic standpoint.

 

[MassiveNights]

To be fair Project 8 didn't look so good either

Looks like The Order in comparison to THPS5

 

[Silver Arrows]

To be fair Project 8 didn't look so good either

At the very least, the animations in P8 looked really good for the time, and honestly still do.

This game, no matter which way you slice the onion, looks like crap.

 

[SparkTR]

The visuals don't make any sense. Console games in 2015 should not look like this.

They do when there's last gen versions.

 

[Forensic Scene]

jeez my wife even said this looks like dogshit.

hope the final product is better.

 

[Yarbskoo]

Looks pretty bad. At least the older games didn't have chromatic aberration.

 

[Data West]

Yeah, THPS2 wasn't "snappy" nor did the grinds lock on to rails and whatnot. Not at all!

If you can't see the difference in distance between the snapping of that gif and the snapping on the rail in that video, I don't know what to tell you. It was like he buttstomp canceled a rail.

 

[Quadraphonic]

To be fair Project 8 didn't look so good either

THP8 was utter fucking dogshit on the PS3.

 

[oatmeal]

We have the warehouse

No you have a shitty version of it

 

[Salsa]

see this crappy looking sunset

on your

color tv screen

this shit is all we're gonna get

If you know what I mean

waste dev time to the left of me

and more waste to the right

aint got no fun

aint got no life

don't you try to hype

 

[Hasenfeffer]

I'm bailing on this one...

 

[Rated-Rsuperstar]

First Transformers and now THPS5. Activision is on a roll with underwhelming reveals today. I almost want to believe the shitty ps2 quality graphics was done intentional to cash in on the retro idea of the game but they're not that clever.

 

[backflip10019]

Wow that looks awful.

 

[Easy_D]

Don't insult the PS2. ;-)

THPS 3 looked nicer from an artistic standpoint.

THPS3 is like THPS perfection though, 4 was ace as well, but 3 had the most kickass levels

 

[_Ryo_]

So, is this a PS2 game just scaled at 1080p?
