New news, new thread.

Putting to rest months of cryptic tweets from Tony Hawk, Activision and developer Robomodo have officially announced Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 5 – a return to the classic gameplay of the series' heyday.

The game is slated to come out on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One later in the year, with PS3 and Xbox 360 versions following shortly thereafter.

As the name indicates, Pro Skater 5 is a call back to the old-school lineage of the first four titles – back when the franchise was in its prime. The game weds the series' finely tuned gameplay with new additions such as power-ups and the ability to shoot projectiles for specific missions.

fucking shit...I just wanna skate dammit.

 

[Tizoc]

No PC

Well if it's not like that last Tony Hawk game I may grab it.

 

[LX_Theo]

Eh. Stopped caring about these a while ago. Not so nostalgic for them to care now, either.

 

[Pastry]

Shoot projectiles lol. Is this the road rash of skating or something?

Jesus christ when will last gen die.

 

[Chobel]

Why no PC?

 

[Alrus]

Shooting missions ?

 

[Neoxon]

I can feel the nostalgia creeping forward.

 

[Dr_LucienSanchez]

God damn, why projectiles and all that other power-up shit? That's definitely not something to be highlighted when announcing a new mainline THPS game.

 

[kenta]

Robomodo...

 

[Consequence]

Hyped but sad about no PC version.

 

[dark_inferno]

Only Activision can put in 2 things that put me off instantly.

Cross Gen
And shooting projectiles out of your freaking Skateboard

 

[bombshell]

and the ability to shoot projectiles for specific missions

Welp, Activision.

 

[Orayn]

From the developer of such illustrious and well-loved games as Tony Hawk Ride, Tony Hawk Shred, and Tony Hawk Pro Skater HD.

Lower those expectations, friends.

 

[StoopKid]

Fall 2015 is looking great.

 

[Takao]

developed by robomodo

 

[BluenoseGames]

God I haven't played a Tony Hawk game since for ever.

 

[kitschykitty]

I was unaware that robomodo was making this, hopefully they don't screw it up for a 4th time.

 

[Chinner]

can't wait to do a 360 flip

 

[Artex]

Give me Skate 4. Please. PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!

 

[shimrra]

As long as it is fun, that is all I want.

 

[liquidtmd]

"We're taking the franchise back to its roots..."

and the ability to shoot projectiles for specific missions.

YOU HAD ONE JOB

 

[Skel1ingt0n]

Shoot projectiles?! lol

Also, screens are super low res - but the graphics look pretty dang rough.

 

[rob305]

I'm in

 

[Enter the Dragon Punch]

no pc
power ups and projectiles
cross gen
robomodo physics seal of quality

hype = dead

 

[Mpl90]

Robomodo's other games, according to Wikipedia

[Tamanon]

Sounds great. Looks like old style, and really want to know about the online co-op. But I love me some old school Tony Hawk.

 

[Bubba_Sparks]

fucking shit...I just wanna skate dammit.

Yeah, the way that's worded just sounds like garbage lol. In the context of the game it might work fine, but when you're announcing a new Tony Hawk game I don't think you should be describing it as skating and shooting projectiles lmao.

 

[naeS]

If EA isn't going to give us Skate 4, this will do. Excited!

 

[nobodyshero]

August 11 confirmed?

Rather play a new Skate

 

[PetriP-TNT]

FUCKING YAWN

WHYYYY

Skate 4 save us

 

[SparkTR]

I was REALLY hoping Robomodo weren't doing this. The screenshots look like a 360 game to boot. Ah well.

 

[Anung]

Was ready to be hyped about THPS again but cross-gen and power-ups/projectiles has killed it.

 

[Crimsonclaw111]

PS360, but not PC. Lol

Also I have absolutely no hope for this game after the studio's other work.

 

[KillerMan91]

I smell cancelation. Just like what happened to last gen versions of Mad Max and Dying Light.

 

[drotahorror]

Ability to shoot projectiles

That's a main feature worth pointing out for this game to be excited about?

 

[maxcriden]

I was unaware that robomodo was making this, hopefully they don't screw it up for a 4th time.

Have they not done well with the license previously?

 

[Shauni]

No Wii U or PC, huh? Bit odd, especially since the Guitar Hero reboot was on everything, but cross gen isn't surprising otherwise. Could be fun, but not sure about all that power up stuff.

 

[Mechazawa]

Before people decide to pile on Robomodo before hearing impressions, I'd like to remind you all what a shitshow working for Activision on a shoestring budget is supposed to be.

Literally the next sentence fucks it up.

 

[Eolz]

Looks pretty meh.
And lol at no WiiU (I know I know), when they're releasing it on PS3/360. I thought crossgen was over dammit.

 

[dallow_bg]

no pc

cross gen

Yup.
But maybe 4th time's a charm....

 

[Unicorn]

Mario kart skater? How is this so misguided?

 

[D4Danger]

man this looks rough. thanks, last gen.
