Activision has confirmed that a new title based on the hugely successful Tony Hawk franchise will be hitting stores in the second half of 2009.
Larry King just can’t believe that someone can skateboard on your phone.
Man, that's difficult to watch. Larry is bored. Tony looks and sounds defeated. I can't imagine he even wants to sell this product.
Kinda felt like Larry had an lost memory moment there.... lol
larry "When is it coming?"
"This year"
Larry "You can skateboard on your phone?"
"Yeah, well you swipe...."
Larry "How close it is? When will it come out?"
"This year"
Larry "So my wife can play it this year?
Shouldve seen Larry tlak to Seth Green about the upscoming Batman/Superman film.
Larry would not shut the hell up and let Seth talk. Its obvious he knows absolutely nothing of the things he tries to talk about.
CVG :
"The new Tony Hawk game will be released exclusively on mobile devices.
"We're working on a mobile game now," former professional skater Hawk told Bloomberg. "We're working on a game for mobile devices this year."
All of these devs jumping ship to the mobile gaming crowd... They'll come crawling back, and if they don't it will be because they've gone bust
While I'm sad to hear this as I'd prefer a console release but mobiles are the perfect platform really. Tony Hawk was always a "just another 15 minutes" game and would fit in well with my mobile gaming habits at least.
Skating legend Tony Hawk has confirmed that he's working on a new game.
THPS 2 HD? Totally new game? Tony's Rocking New Year's Skate with a new special move where he gets off his board and plays it like an air guitar?
WHAT COULD IT BE?
As long as it has the flair the first games had and they take time and put passion into it I wouldn't mind returning to thps.
Absolutely, they need to go back to the open world mess around type of game that the popular one had, maybe an evolution of the underground and american wasteland series.
I would totally buy the first 5-6 Tony Hawk games if they re-released them on the current consoles.
While I love new games, its always nice to revisit those great games from my childhood!
If it can in any way have a shot at Skate.'s throne, I'll be happy. Skate did so much right that THS games did wrong, but there were still a few things Skate could have taken further and never got a chance to.
I hope the new Tony Hawk game goes in the same realistic gameplay direction as Skate did
Typically people who skate in real life lean towards Skate more. I loved the Skate games, and keep hoping they'll make more but I can't deny how much I used to love Tony Hawk 1-3 back in the day. Those games were just so fun. I hope if they do make another THPS it'll be like those, just prettier.
