Fortunately, Neversoft has come to the realization that fans want a real next-gen skateboarding game, and have since been putting work into Tony Hawk's Project 8, which is due for the PS3 and Xbox 360 next month. Gamedaily were able to get our hands on both builds to see how the game was shaping up, and there's a big surprise that may just change everything. Here is a close look at the PS3 edition.
Salman from Tech4Gamers writes "Mortal Kombat 9 revived the series from a low point after bringing it back to 2D combat. It marked a new high-point for the franchise due to its incredible roster, exciting cinematic story mode, and high-octane combat."
That game was actually goated. It was the first time ever that I actually tried to get good at a fighting game. Unfortunately the online connection was so dogshit it made it hard to enjoy and eventually I gave up. Haven't really played much fighting games since.
Taking a trip back to Housemarque's forgotten platformer.
The Simpsons: Hit and Run, The Legend of Dragoon, and Chrono Trigger would benefit substantially from a modern remake.
The Xenosaga trilogy, the Wild Arms games, Xenogears, Parasite Eve, Dino Crisis, Suikoden. The Warriors game I know nothing about but it looks interesting. Anybody can do a list of games they want to see get modernized I would lose my shit if Namco brought the Xenosaga trilogy to modern consoles.
I want to see what's so next gen with this title. From the gameplay-videos it looks like you'll still be able to pull off as ridicolously unreal tricks (720 triple hardflip anyone?) as in past games, which is sad. Being a retired skater myself, it wud be nice to see a skateboard game that captures what true skating feels like. Another thing thats annoying about past TH games is the speed you travel at. Like skating in fastfastfast forward. I hope theyve done more than cosmetic changes for this one.
Tony Hawk series has been going downhill since the first one. True it is really rather fake in terms of speed and amount of combos and tricks one can pull off. And yea good question what is so next gen about this one?
Too bad the PS3 version doesn't have online, i would take online over tilt anyday.
