First Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 5 Gameplay
- Thread starter zakislam
- Start date
Activision ... you have Call of Duty millions.
Give the Tony Hawk series a respectful send off. We know you aren't interested. But go all in, just one more time. This shit where you release a poor game that doesn't sell well then release an even more poor sequel is frustrating. There is an audience. These were popular games before you fucked them up.
Send the series off big. You'll probably turn a profit, but if you lose out do so confidently. You made the best game you could and people didn't want it.
This is legitimately saddening. To see Tony Hawk have to muster passion towards the shit you've given him to sell alone (he is the marketing team) fills me with a weird dourness.
Just try.

Jesus christ that's bad. It looks like an early PS3/X360 game.

Usually I roll my eyes at such posts. In this case, though.. man, you've got a point.

Graphically it's rubbish, but the collision detection and jumping doesn't look anywhere near as awful as THPS HD. Would like to get my hands on a demo of this at the very least.

The animations were a cut above though.
Project 8 had the benefit of not following a trail of complete garbage.
People were expecting a return to form with the '5.' They're not getting it.

I seriously just want a new, good skateboarding game.
I know the 90's are over and skateboarding is a dead sport basically but I LOOOOOOOOOOVE these games.

Could we get another team to handle this? Robomodo doesn't seem to know what made this series good. Everything about this looks awful. Even the levels look like spliced bits of older levels that they tried to create as original level design.
If a game from 2006 makes your game almost a decade older look worse by comparison gameplay-wise and visually, there's no excuse. I'm one of the biggest fans of this series who even enjoyed RIDE and I'm asking what the fuck is this?

There's a difference between locking on rails when you're close to them and falling off from the bloody sky like you had a reverse jetpack to latch on to a railYeah, THPS2 wasn't "snappy" nor did the grinds lock on to rails and whatnot. Not at all!

And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?
It looks exactly the same. See the part in the OPs video at 0:03, when he's just about to jump the ramp but immediately cancels it into a grind? I always did that in THPS2. It's nothing new. It looks silly, yes - but that's the way THPS has been from start.
I played THPS2 competitively btw.
It looks alright, but it's certainly no sequel to the THUG 2 
Neversoft, pls come back
Geez, when did you last see a PS2 game?

I legit burst out laughing at this, thank you Salsa.
It's all good though, I moved on from the franchise when Skate came out. But man did I love those back in the day.

[X] Bad graphics
[X] Bad level design
[X] Choppy gameplay
How dare they call this a Tony Hawk game.

There's no hiding that P8 looked like arse on PS3. I tried playing it a few months ago, it didn't look good barring the great animation.

I cannot believe they are actually showing this to the public. Somebody thought this was okay.
Maybe true but even then it didnt have good graphics. And that horrible bloom/dithering effect is nauseating
Sorry, I wasn't disagreeing with him. The game is super ugly.

What is it really, that's going on here,
You've got a brand for endless sales.
So is there anybody out there,
now watch us suffer, cause it's nothing but bails.
What is it really that's in your head,
What little life that your game had just died
I'm gonna be the one that's passing over,
Now this is what it's like when PLATFORMS COLLIDE!

Now I have Yellowcard stuck in my fucking head and the desire to play THPS3
TO THE EMULATORS!

Your pictures actually prove that Project 8 was a better looking game. Also, last time I checked, at least Project 8 has a balance meter for manuals and grinding.
Another piece-of-shit THPS, fuck man (I couldn't even play it anyways since it's not on PC).

Again, that is not what we're talking about. Look at this shit and tell me this was a thing in older games:

You mean like this, I take it?
I'm sorry to inform you that THPS2 acts and looks the exact same way. I'm confident that people are just forgetting about it. I still play the game occasionally to this date.
THUG 2 is where it's at. The skating couldn't be anymore perfect in that game. There's also a mod called THUG PRO for the PC port of THUG 2 which combines maps from all the previous games (it's still a work in progress however)

Well that's unfortunate.
On the plus side, won't be long until its $14.99 in the clearance bin at Target!

I still play THPS2 on Dreamcast a lot.
It looks janky as hell - but still playable. I'll probably still dig it.

I bet Activision have a contractual obligation to keep making Tony Hawk games. The rights would probably revert back to Hawk in the event of a long hiatus, and all he wants are good games to result from the partnership, and Activision don't give a single, solitary fuck.
What a shit company.

Same. When it comes to video games that don't affect me, I normally go by the "If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say it" policy, but WOW. This is a retail game releasing on next generation consoles in 2015.

They couldn't even come up with original levels? They have to rehash old one?

It looks like it's missing animations or something. Stiff as fuck.
I'm sorry, but Tony Hawk as a franchise is dead. No one wants these doo doo ass games anymore.
