In an interview with The Kartel, Tony Hawk delves into what type of game he would love to work on, if it wasn't a skateboard game.
No one wants to use these wonky game controllers. No one.
Never say no one. There’s always going to be someone who’s contrarian who’s gotta say they’re actually a fan of one of these
i had the jaguar and cd32 and yeah, their stock controllers werent all that. They got the job done but there were better ones. The 6 button jag controller felt better to hold and incorporated more sculpting for the hands and fingers to reach the number pad easier. And the competition pro cd32 was like a genesis controller in shape and comfort. Way better than the stock one.
As for kinect, it worked, it was fun but i liked the non gaming uses for it. some people got pretty creative with reverse engineering that thing.
The Ouya controller was incredibly poor. Looked nice but quality of doad buttons triggers was that of a cheap knockoff you get for £1.99 on ebay
It's amazing that there are so many different kinds of video games, but there are certain ones that will leave you looking pretty silly.
Continue Play's Oliver Zimmerman thinks back to all those disappointing moments in gaming's bumpy past.

Story quality - Excellent
Like the Website - Yes
No order
1. PSN down for a month, the month Portal 2, SOCOM, Mortal Kombat, and other games came out at that.
2. Xbox One reveal
3. Zipper Interactive shut down
4. PS3 from launch until 2009
5. Crash Bandicoot and Spyro not owned by Sony or ND and Insomniac respectively.
6. The Wii
7. RRoD
8. Microtransactions
9. Activision killing Tony Hawk and Guitar Hero by releasing it too often
10. David Hayter not voice of Snake anymore
Bonus: infamous 2 reveal with that weird looking douchebag they called "Cole McGrath". I'm glad they changed the look of him back to normal though.
In my most humble of opinions, the Kinect 2.0 is the biggest letdown in the last few years I can think of. The 1:1 tracking and voice recognition were severely lacking at launch. I know this is a polarizing topic, but its just my thoughts.
surfing or stick to stakeboarding
Tony Hawk doesn't work on games. He just sells his name to people who do.
oh please. I really want a good surfing game. not a crappy one, but a good one. I don't think that they should just push one out, they should really make an epic game with real physics and give it the feeling of really surfing. I would sooo play it on days with crappy waves...
