The price is only a small part of the problem. The biggest problem is the slow response time for your inputs. And sometimes your inputs don't even register going by some videos.

I think Ride looks pretty terrible, will be laughably expensive and expect it to bomb but this thread is in poor taste. We've gone from trolling the game to having posters mocking the people involved with the company making it based on their appearance. Just like the Gabe am fat jokes! Stay classy.

Best quotes:
"Basically, what we do here is we make video games..."
and
"Guess what, that's fuuuucking fun, man!"
and
"This is our 9th Tony Hawk game... In 9 years... And uh, so the game has clearly stood the test of time"

I heard Project 8 was decent. Any truth to that?

You know, I saw that GIF a couple of times, and both times, scrolled down without paying much attention to it and wondering "why people post a gif of someone interviewing a hobo?" and now I know the truth....so that's how you look when Activision sucks the best of you?.
And this games looks like and absolute disaster, it makes you wonder if it's really from the same developer that bring THPS3.

I don't know what you expect exactly. This is an internet forum. People make fun of shit all the time. Previews weren't glowing, to say the least. Everybody hates Activision and is still upset what Tony Hawk's series became.I Push Fat Kids said:
Of course the developers should be proud that they brought the title to completion, and I hope they will continue to do stuff and not go under because of this title.
But since a few years, this is mass-market to such a degree that mockery isn't unexpected at all.
It's like with the movies. If there's a Star Wars VII on the horizon and it looks like a Toy Story knock-off, you don't expect respect from anyone. So there you go.

Oh my God. You're telling me the same guys from the beginning are still there now? How do they not KNOW what has happened to this series?
"We think people see the brand name and know it means quality."
Has he read the reviews for like the past 3 games?
I Push Fat Kids said:
I agree.
The last Hawk game I thought was great was 2x. Downhill ever since IMO.
But an official thread OP should not be this biased.
I think Halo is terrible. Could I make the official thread for the next Halo that mocks and insults it in the OP? That would be fun.

Damn, really? Someone told me it stripped away the nonsense that came with the Underground series and was just straight up skating like the first 4 games.omg rite said:

I liked Project 8 personally. It did feel exactly like that to me - a step back towards the roots. Not far enough, imho, but it was much better than THUG and AW.
Also: I hope Ride turns out well but I'm not touching it with a 10' pole until I can try it out for myself.

It's better than THUG2 and THAW, but it's still incredibly janky. For one, it's ugly as sin and runs like shit (the game pretty much maxes out at 20 frames per second). For two, the game is a lot harder to play because the camera is pulled pretty close in so your skater is a lot larger on the screen, but the game still runs at typical Tony Hawk speed so it becomes really hard to judge certain jumps or how much time you have in the air on a half-pipe; plus it makes the still crappy on-foot controls even more cumbersome. For three, the difficulty is really out of whack, so while AM challenges are pretty easy and Pro challenges can be a bit tricky, you have to be a fucking god to pull off most of the Sick challenges. The game was pretty great when it came out and is certainly a hell of a lot better than American Wasteland in theory, but you just can't go back. The technical problems with that game are just way too rough.BobFromPikeCreek said:

This thread is now about the awesome soundtracks of the Tony Hawk games. How many other games have awesome stuff like "I am the ambassador of Kick-Your-Assador"? Also Police Truck.

I get the feeling that a lot of people are using this product to take out their ATVI rage for other things. They are mad at the $59.99 PC version of MW2 with no dedicated servers . . . but they can't resist buying MW2. They are annoyed by the driving of Guitar hero in the ground. But they know they contributed to that downfall. They are annoyed by the $120 price tag of DJ Hero . . . but bought it away. ATVI has put out lame Bond games. Annoyed at $59.99 price for Band Hero on the Wii.
But this Tony hawk game . . . fire away. Skate stole the Tony Hawk Thunder and there hasn't been a big Tony Hawk hit for years.

I remember the Funky Homosapien track in THPS3. was awesome
edit: I am not mad at Activision. I am not mad at Neversoft. I am not mad at Tony Hawk. I'm simply upset that a game company could throw away a series with the kind of hardcore and casual gamer cachet this series had because they simply didn't know what to do with it.
You can't look at videos of people playing this game and defend it. It's a shame. This game was created most likely with the encouragement of the suits in marketing who wanted to sell a shitty peripheral, and now it lives and dies by (what we see as) the incredibly unresponsive system.
I wish no ill will on the developer. I hope they get another game to develop.

I'm not on that ship. I was actually looking forward to this TH since Skate 2 disappointed me. And with them taking two years to develop it, a first since the series started, I thought that they could come up with something pretty awesome. Especially after the rumors hit that they were going to take it in a realistic direction. Turns out that not only did they not take it in a realistic direction, but they took it in what appears to be a worse direction than the previous disasters.
At this point I don't have much faith in new TH games. All I really want from Activision now is for them to just do a HD rebuild of THPS2 and release it on PSN and Live.

Yeah, ATVI has gone plastic crazy . . . GH5 with another guitar. DJ Hero with a plastic turntable. Band Hero to sell plastic instruments to young kids. Modern Warfare with cheesy plastic 'night vision goggles'. And now Tony Hawk with a plastic board.Y2Kev said:

I hate that you guys are talking so much shit about this game before it even comes out. When it comes out, and is totally awesome I will laugh at you all. You sad, sad, individuals. Oh how I'll lau:lol :lol :lol ...ok, I can't do it. I tried. I gave it a solid effort, but I can't even jokingly defend this game.

"It's a fucking snowboard" - that's what my friend said when I informed him about this game.

I really enjoyed Project 8. THPS2x was my favourite by far and after THPS4 I didn't touch the franchise until Project 8. I found it spiritually very similar to the early games and I thoroughly enjoyed it. At the price it'll be available at nowadays I'd say you can't go wrong.
