Well you're ranting about the cost and I thought you might want a bit more information about the product before you went on your price rant. But hey, everybody is different.
Lol, wut?
Stop embarrassing yourself.

The cynicism is justified and yeah graphically the game looks weak, but damn is it depressing to have a new THPS with this much hate going for it
I just need to see how it plays/feels. Don't give a fuck about graphics it's a Tony Hawk game. If they just put out a straight port of one of the older ones I'd buy it, and I have them/a PS2 (albeit not hooked up) sitting in my room. God I miss these games

Ahem
You seemed pretty ranting.
Huh? You just came out of nowhere and unless you have something more to contribute to why I'm wrong, I'm thinking you're useless too.

Man, Y'all harsh in here. I'm giving this thing the benefit of the doubt before I crucify it.

What do you expect when you have a game attempting to harken back to the glory days, as made by the team who completely bungled that exact thing with their previous work?
Tony Hawk's Pro Skater HD proved that Robomodo shouldn't be the developer doing this.

Right?

Oh boy.
I'm sorry, should I explain to you in detail what I just meant by that?
And you should know beforehand that you posted a picture which is in some circles worth a thousand words.

I mean, I can get the skepticism with Robomodo but lets put things into perspective the other THPS games they did were all saddled around awful gimmicks and THPS HD was a downloadable game with a pretty limited budget and development window. Also who were Rocksteady games before batman? Oh thats right they were putting out hot bangers like Urban Chaos:Riot Response.
Robomodo can have their batman moment too. They might also fail but for fucks sake people need to dial this shit down a bit until we get actual impressions from people who have played the game.
I'm fine with you apologizing for the game and yourself in one thread, sure.
Sixty. Dollars.

I just bought that for 31.99 at Best Buy. Good ole GCU.

Well seeing as your three words were associated the picture you posted , and somehow you tried to disassociate yourself from that picture, I'm going to decline. But you keep on being you.
Hell, the last WWF game looks way better than this!

Shit got pretty crazy and awesome in THPS3 and 4 so I have no idea why powerups and projectiles are such a turnoff for many. I'm glad this isn't a Skate clone as much as I loved that series. The more crazy combos chains the better.
Sixty. Dollars.

I'd feel better paying $60 for that knowing the work that went into it. Judging from what we've been told about THPS5, knowing Robomodo is the developer based on the screenshots it barely sounds worthy of a $20 release.

Worried about the low number of levels? Don't fret, you'll be able to buy more!
Ah buying more levels, just like the good ol' days of the Tony Hawk series.....

Still waiting for gameplay. The only really bad thing about THPSHD was the physics engine being garbage. If that's fixed I'm hyped. I really don't care how good the game looks.

What if they have been putting all the effort into actually making a good arcadey skateboarding game mechanics instead of working on the textures and physics of Tony Hawk's fringe.
The graphics>all opinion of current gen systems is super depressing. Hopefully it will be a super fast 60FPS game so the last thing you will be worrying about is his hair.
I'm not disassociating anything. The game looks like shit. Here's all the info we have:
- shitty screenshots
- shitty price
- shitty THPS port
Maybe there will be a trailer that's awesome. Maybe it'll show that the gameplay is awesome. I WANT that to happen. I WANT it to blow my nips off.
But until then, I'll shit on it all I want, m'kay?
There's your rant.

But guys, you can shoot projectiles in this one.
Save us EA!
When a game looks as bad as this does it tells you something about what kind of production values are going into it. If the production values are low enough to produce this kind of awful, then how serious are they really taking the rest of the game? When a game looks as low budget as this does, it usually is. It reminds me of what Activision puts into the Spiderman games, and we all know how that turns out.

Why in the hell would anyone give anything from this franchise the benefit of the doubt after recent years? You have to 've pretty gullible to look at this project and not see a huge cash grab if this is 60

So what are the odds that those prices are placeholder, just like the release date?
Another great point.

Hopefully Robomodo as the developer is also a placeholder.

There is no way that you can make the things in those screens look good even in motion. I mean maybe these are alpha pics but it would be weird to release them.
I agree that the graphics seem pretty overwhelming, but THPS 1-4 didn't have impressive graphics and they played incredibly well. As long as the gameplay is decent and completely unlike THPS HD, I will be happy.

Wait is that an actual screen from the game? Cause the lighting looks really good. Almost real. I actually thought it was real for a second before looking at his face.
Just reminds me why I absolutely hate THPS after playing the Skater series

Right I just don't see why they deserve the benefit of the doubt.

How does this make any sense, whatsoever?
They're selling it for the expected price of a console game in 2015. That's not news, that's a baseline. It means we can expect content equivalent to a disc-based product, rather than a strictly downloadable title.
You've got some screenshots that look sub-par, and a developer with a bad skateboarding game under their belt. I will forgive you for not leaking hype. But being this dismissive seems excessive.

Did you play Urban Chaos? It was quite highly regarded, most outlets at the time gave it 8/10 if I remember correctly.
Main issue with that game is that it came out well after the Xbox 360 did. Didn't get much attention due to being a last gen only release.
Robomodo on the other hand have been putting out games for the last 6 years without much success critically. This could turn out good but the likelihood isn't great.
Maybe because to me it looks like they're skating backwards in quality. Project 8 looks better imho

This is going to have to be damn good for me to drop $60 on.
