... for a lazy clunky buggy HD-port...

It's a real shame they didn't just do a proper quality HD port of Tony Hawk 2x.

an0nym0us4282d ago

I just Realized there hasn't been a single skateboard game released in like 6 years. Probably contributed to sales of said "lazy clunky buggy HD-port..."

StraightPath4282d ago

you realised wrong.

Skate 1 & 2 says hi

gatormatt804282d ago (Edited 4282d ago )

The reason we havent seen any skateboarding games lately is because we were over-saturated with them in the years past. Tony Hawk was Activisions CoD before, well before CoD. Personnaly Im looking forward to this when it hits PSN in the coming weeks, hopefully with a PSN+ discount. I just hope its as great as i remember.

Rivitur4282d ago (Edited 4282d ago )

@gatormatt They took out mostly all of the good features so don't expect it to even be close to the original.

Skate-AK4282d ago

Skate 1, Skate 2, and Skate 3. All around better skateboarding game.

@Skate-AK

Meh I think Skate's a pain in the ass. It balances simulation and arcadiness so expertly as to never allow the player to have fun.

I'm not surprised. Microsoft has been on fire with the timed exclusive content recently. I know a ton of people who would have went with the PS3 version, since it was originally a PS1 game, but since the Xbox 360 version came out so much sooner, that is the one they ended up going with.

I know people complain about it, but timed DLC is a great weapon in the battle of consoles.

DA_SHREDDER4282d ago

Get real, yeah Ill admit, I've been waiting on this game ever since I heard about it, but I have so many games on the ps3, (not including any of the exclusives), that even if I had a 360 I would get it on the ps3 anyways just so I could game share it with my kids.

But now people wanna talk numbers, wait till this game is released on the psn. It would be a safe bet to say that the ps3 will hit those numbers, if not surpass them the first week. Wanna know why? Cause everyone, and I mean everyone who is a fan of the franchise had to have a ps1 to even give two shits about this game. There's tons of skate games out too btw. So really these numbers are far from impressive. I was expecting the xbox fans to buy this game out of spite, but it looks like the 10 million + paid xbl members could really care less.

ChunkyLover534282d ago

40+ million paid XBL Gold members.

RockmanII74282d ago

1) You're assuming that everyone with a PS1 bought a PS3, a good number of PS1/PS2 players went to 360 this gen.
2) You're ignoring that the game was also released on N64, you didn't have to have the PS1 version to "give two shits about the game."

WeskerChildReborned4282d ago

I see timed exclusive being cheap. I understand console exclusive stuff but timed exclusive games and DLC?
Especially that one game that is coming out later on that Bungie is making that will come out on Xbox first then 1 year later on Playstation which seems really cheap.

vitorizzo4282d ago

i bought the game and i like playing it with the dpad and its extremely tough to play with the old 360 controller...ill come back to the game when i get one of those new controllers with the new dpad

thebudgetgamer4282d ago

I'm gonna wait till it hits PS3 as I believe it's better played with a dualshock.

attilayavuzer4282d ago

That's a lot of disappointed gamers...

MWH4282d ago (Edited 4282d ago )

or gamers who are fans and simply don't care how good or bad the game is.. must be some die hard fans though because the reviews are mostly discouraging.

i hope Deadlight and Dust sell as well.

Don't bother, it's a poor remake

FalloutWanderer20772472d ago (Edited 2472d ago )

That bad huh? Not even worth $1.99 bad? I would have sworn that there was a new Tony Hawk Pro Skater game in development, I might be confusing that with this "HD remaster" however. Loved the 1st two THPS games back in the day, they were tons of fun with killer soundtracks! "If you like to gamble, I tell you I'm your man, You win some, lose some, it's all the same to me, The pleasure is to play, makes no difference what you say, I don't share your greed, the only card I need is The Ace Of Spades!"
I remember buying my little brother the 1st Skate game after it released, he was big into skateboarding at the time. I didn't have a lot of experience with the game but what I played was fairly realistic, with great visuals and physics for the time. Skate 3 released back in 2010 so we're way overdue for a worthy skateboarding game, a Skate 4 could be really good with today's gaming tech. advances and hardware capabilities. It will never happen but could you imagine a skateboarding game utilizing a physics engine like Euphoria that's used exclusively in Rockstar games, it would be incredible.

madforaday2472d ago

Saying you like the first two THPS and quote a song from THPS 3 lol. Anyways, I really want a true remake of THPS 4 or THUG 1.

FalloutWanderer20772472d ago

@madforaday I thought Ace of Spades was in THPS 1 or 2, didn't know it was in 3. I liked 3 as well. All 3 games had excellent soundtracks. It's been so many years since I've played them though, it's easy to get them mixed up.

DragoonsScaleLegends2469d ago

It's worse than the games before it in the series (ignoring Tony Hawk Shred) but it's still worth $2.

It's not a great sale and doesn't bode well for Battleborn being price cut already.
