Ian Fisher from ShogunGamer.com chats with Robomodo President Josh Tsui about Bodoink, the studio's new XBLA Kinect game.
After the surprising success of Pro Skater HD it is time to wonder if the Tony Hawk game series could be back to its glory. Will this one game be able to revive the series which took such an awful downturn three years ago?
Don't think that will happen but I'll always remember the good times: Arguing what's better - realism or arcade style ...those were the days.
I don't think the realism came into being until Skate came out. I'm not saying that there weren't arguments about it. There was just nothing to compare it to.
haha, yea you're right savage. realism on the old TH was rare. There were some ppl that weren't all for high combos though.
When I say "realism" I just meant combos that didn't.... last the whole round if you remember what I'm talkin about.
oh my god
i'll always have a spot for THPS and reading over that last post I must admit that a revival wouldn't be so bad.
EA-SKATE don't really have any competition right now and THPS has been out of things for a while.
This might just be an experiment to see how well it's received by gamers.
So to clear up what I said before, I'd really like to see a new style THPS game but not exactly like the old one's used to be. There needs to be a balance of what's good and bad between the two games.
* One more thing, I think the skate image has been fading the past few years and this will have a definite impact on game sales. We're at a time where people that don't skate are ok with the
"beenie cap/ripped shoes/go-tee" image associated with skateboarding but tired of the "emo-choreography" or "lifestyle" part.
maybe that's just what I've noticed...
Either way, less skaters equal less sales.
..i'm sayin make it RAW, like an old school Toy Machine Video, then it'll work. Bring it back to the essence, start us off moving up from banana boards to the DEW TOUR, Tha'd be pretty cool. I'm typin this sh*t on the fly tho so you gotta be easy...
I don't think so, the series has been dead for a while and anyway, Neversoft is working on COD i think so idk if they'll return to Tony Hawk games
Tony Hawk in general is starting to get irrelevant lately....Asking my little brothers friends and some of them don't even really know who he is, but know some of the newer skaters.
I don't think its time to come back, i have no interest in buying a new one yet.

"If you are a fan of the classic Tony Hawk Pro Skater games, you are no doubt excited for the HD version. Tony Hawk Pro Skater HD includes levels from Pro Skater and Pro Skater 2. The game is in development by Robomodo and will be published by Activision. PSU had the chance to chat with Josh Tsui, CEO of Robomodo about all this Pro Skater, and we’ve shared the interview with you below. Let us know in the comments section if you are excited about this reboot, and what you are looking forward to."
hmm
its not like this game isn't using alot of power from the systems
If gears can do it
So can you
I love how half the developers talk about sacrifice when usually half the shit the community is asking for are major features and deciding factors into the purchase.
When you half ass a game, it fails. Ask Zipper and SOCOM 4. That (online-centric) game didn't have a party system until 3 months after it launched. Unacceptable.
Will I still buy this? Probably...but maybe not day 1 anymore. Sucks
If there's no split screen, I am very disappointed... That's what it was all about back then. :\
Seriously???
Halo reach managed 4 player split screen and that was a 360 game. This is what, a HD remake of a playstation ONE game?!
Absolutely no excuse.
Tony Hawk is making his video game comeback. After taking a hiatus from the virtual world, the Birdman has a new Activision skateboarding game coming in 2012 from Robomodo. The X-Games legend was at the Spike “VGAs” 2011 to talk about his latest title, Tony Hawk Pro Skater HD, in this exclusive interview from the red carpet at Sony Pictures Studios in Culver City, California.
I think they are taking the "let's go back to what worked" a little too literal. But I'll probably buy it anyway :)
Was hoping for THPS4 but I'll happily take this,
Also I believe extreme scoring combos it what hurt the franchise the most for me.
I had THPS2 for the iphone and it didn't control well at all. I'll keep an eye on this. I haven't played a tony hawk game since project 8, so it'll be interesting to see how this turns out.
