Tony Hawk's Project 8 is built with full online capabilities for Xbox 360, including support of Live, classic two-player challenges, a new game called Walls (which plays like Snake or Tron), and up to eight-player online games. But Project 8 is not online for PlayStation 3. Only within the last three weeks has Neversoft received its PS3 beta kits, a black horizontal box about one foot wide by two feet long and two inches deep, with a slew of buttons and dials on its front deck. Neversoft is confident the PS3 version of the game will ship at launch in November, but it still hasn't received all of the software libraries and has no indication of how the online components will work on PS3, so it's not offering them.
Andrew says: "That’s not just glorified sensationalist video game journalism, it’s an indisputable fact that these games are some of the highest rated games of all-time. Did you know that Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 2, on the PS1, stands at 98 on Metacritic? The best game of all-time is only one point above it. There’s your fact of the day."
I was so sad when I saw number 1. But then I had the realization, and I definitely agree. Their number one is my number one. I think it perfected the classic formula without feeling too bloated, and all the levels were bops!
Thought I'd throw a curveball in there haha. But yeah, I just think the levels for THPS3 were just unbelievable. :)
Pro Skater 2 I think was the one for me. I remember playing the demo for that level from OPM for hours until the full game released. Pause and hit retry before the timer ran out to find all the secrets!
Yeah I agree. That time in my life where I was in my first apartment and friends would come and it would always be running. People were all around doing different things but THPS2 was always on and someone was battling, sometimes on 2 different TVs. the soundtrack was great also so it was blasting. Good times, few worries.
Underground 1 was my favorite
Why is American Wasteland so low on the list? I personally like it better than all the Pro Skater games.
Its low on the list, because its a shit list. Putting the PS1 games before most of the PS2 games is laughable. Putting THUG 2 ahead of THUG 1 is ridiculous.
Straight up terrible list, filled with incorrect information. Not that I was expecting anything of value to begin with, nearly no one out there actually understands or appreciates the later excellent games in the series.
We know there’s a new Tony Hawk’s in the works, but it should feel like the oldest of entries to the series.
There's a new Tony Hawk game coming?
Cautiously optimistic. I want the series to end on a positive note but the last what like 6 entries have been severely disappointing. Hope this one ends the curse.
I hope they don't blow it. I really liked the earlier games in the series. Then Skate came out and the difference night and day.
Ha, I was thinking the same thing when I read this. I had no idea there was one in the works...you usually here about these things.
Any ways, I haven't truly enjoyed a THPS title since the underground games back during the ps2/xbox/GC era. I hope if they make one, they try to use that same formula that made the first 6 games so fun.
I think the series went downhill when they had all the jackass characters in the game..
I support this article. THPS2 - best Tony Hawk EVAH. The franchise needs to drop the gimmicks and get back to what matters - addictive, thrilling skateboarding.
Long before he grew out his stache and became a lovable mainstream fixture as Earl Hickey on NBC’s hit sitcom, “My Name Is Earl,” Jason Lee fell in love with skateboarding. The former pro skater first got on a board at age 5. These days, the Southern California native spends more time in front of Hollywood cameras – he’s currently filming the second season of TNT’s “Memphis Beat” in New Orleans -- than on a skateboard. Gamers most recently saw and head Lee as Coach Frank in Electronic Arts’ SKATE 3 game for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. Lee talks about his TV series and his “old school” video game days, in this exclusive interview from the set of his show.
Jason Lee is a fantastic actor. I really hope he stars in some future movies, not just TV shows.
I agree. Before he goes batsh*t crazy. I've heard he's into scientology, which isn't a good sign.
He's a Scientologist now, so obviously his decision making ability has been impaired. Was this an interview or an "audit"?
Loved him and Mark Gonzales in 'Video Days' true skateboard geniuses, still got the Transworld Skateboarding Mag where Jason Lee was introduced, these guys were true originals/good guys/talented artists that helped establish skateboarding culture and made it into what it is today.
He was in a lot of Kevin Smith movies. He's great. I liked him in Earl too. Haven't seen memphis though.
That's stupid. I don't understand why they're just now getting their beta kits, why not at least delay it a few months to get the online components in there, or add the components later since all PS3s will come with harddrives. Big lame from me. The game looks sweet though.
probably because like us they know nothing about the ps3 online componant. obviously they have alot of online pieces built (ie 360 version). delay= lost money. blame the bean counters for them not waiting.
job well done sony.
FYI they were so late receiving their dev kits, cause sony is running out of them:)
Just another reason NOT to buy a ps3!
Didn't Sony hand out 1000 dev kits or something? I thought I read that somewhere. Anyways they can't delay this game for sony just for the fact that it would be yet another delay for the ps3 and they don't want that. Plus come on it's a skateboarding game why is online for this such a deal or no deal thing? Answer it's not
