Yeah ok... Forget it, same thing, sure.
Do you think I'm a mushroom?

Probably for sales reasons?
I don't know why the choice was made but I guess they figure that a last gen version may still be more profitable than a PC version.

I lost all interest at the shooting projectiles bit.
Not sure, but you sure do seem like a fun guy...
.. And I'm out.
I hope this game turns out good because I spent hundreds of hours in THPS3, but I'm not holding out hope for this one.

Wow everyone stop getting all bent up over cross gen. You're kidding yourself if you're expecting this game to break all kinds of graphics or gameplay mechanics rules. Activision is a company of numbers; they'll release where it makes sense. On that note...
Didn't the Guitar Hero games do well on Wii? I'm guessing they're going for that same audience, although I don't know how many have actually transitioned to WiiU.

If Activision is calling it THPS5 and it doesn't have the namesake legacy gameplay, then they can completely fuck off and kiss this series goodbye in the process.
A proper return to form could fully revive the Tony Hawk series and the skating game genre or put the final nails in the series' (long-gestating) coffin. Unfortunately, getting Robomodo (who did the brilliant TH Ride, Shred, and THPS HD
) and adding powerups and shooting projectiles to the classic gameplay aren't helping your chances. Which sucks, because I'd love to have a modern THPS game and I'm pretty happy about everything else mentioned.

The later PS2 titles were fairly impressive for the platform, featuring large, detailed, open-ended environments running at 60 fps.

Microsoft: You can take it.
Sony: We don't want it! You take it!
Microsoft: No! Are we sure there's not a Wii U port?

I just hope these power ups and projectile is for their own specific modes and not involved in the normal gameplay. Then I would be fine with it. But if you have to shoot beer bottle to open gates in a level or get the power up 'jump x 2' to jump pver specific stuff or something that would just suck... And i'm afraid that it might be even worse
The PS2 was a fillrate monster. check out the Transformers game on it

I'd rather have a skate 4 that marries the realistic skating physics with some Tony Hawk over the topness
Ugh. I'm out.

I just want a good skateboarding game. I'll literally take skate 1 re-released with higher resolution and frame rate, nothing else.

Hey sry... Didnt mean to be a dick... Its just that seeing that symbol as joke strokes me the wrong way. New pix is much better
Heh, I didn't even know that.
So basically the whole Tony Hawk series before Tony Hawk Ride was cross-gen. Why is it such a problem this time around? I really don't get it.
I didn't say they could compete with the best of the best on the PS2, but considering they were multiplatform PS2 games that were built on RenderWare, they weren't bad looking by any stretch.
Considering the series hasn't been good since THPS2, I guess there isn't one. Maybe people are too optimistic that we'll get a /good/ THPS for once, but I guess that ain't happening any time soon.
Yeah, apart from the two THUG games, I guess.
What, are you serious?
Simply because it's cross gen? Graphics were never a huge selling point for the Tony Hawk games.
I mean, both the PS1 and Dreamcast versions of Tony Hawk 1 and 2 were fantastic and the visual gap between them were HUGE.

Good point about the THUG games.

Wow, that looks terrible. The gameplay will be what makes or breaks it, of course, but still. Terrible.
Yes. They wouldn't be making cross gen games 2 years later if the current gen was more adopted. The people sticking it out with the PS3/360 are ruining new games for the rest of us. -cough-Destiny-cough-
Doesn't mean they shouldn't be. THPS is a very simple game, the only thing that's been missing recently is the graphics. Slamming buttons together to make combos is easy. This THPS5 seems like it took all of 6 months to develop.

Not a dick at all, i didnt give it much thought was just trying to do something mindless for a fast laugh. Was a dumb joke and not even funny. Thanks for calling me out on it lol.
Oh man, I hate to be so negative but didn't a lot of people hate the HD Remake?
You can count the number of people that liked it on one hand. It can even be on one finger, considering that even playing the demo felt like you were being given one.

Usually there's a flippancy when people ask if not great looking games are a mobile title, but... I really did think it was for mobile when I saw the shots on Twitter.
I get your point, but Iook at the saIes of the PS4, what do you expect? AIso there are good reasons why peopIe are happy with their Iast gen consoIes.
