If it's game related it is in the extremely early stages
Activision def has interests in the flickit type system. It would have staying power with Tony and his connections if it is good. But it could very well be birdhouse related.

I hope they are smart enough to even consider what ea brought to the table. I didn't read anything particularly about the flickit system in that article. I hope Tony has got a sense of the new generation of games.

A remix would be amazing, something i've wanted from the series to happen for a long time, the closest thing to it is when they released Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2x.

Now add every level from every ps1-ps2 tony hawk game with improved graphics, same gameplay, and i'll be stoked.

The sad part about a new game is that the soundtrack will never match the greatness of THAW's

Think ya confused nostalgia with greatness. Let the game come out then compare ;).

Deacon

Slamooh said it best. Without flickit i'm not interested.

The beauty of flick it for me is he pure level of control. I played THPG the other day and while the sim mode is good, the tricks looked so forced and generic.

It will be interesting to see if they go for a sim type game or smash out another arcade title.

I really dislike the idea of levels too. The open city is such a huge plus (well it was in s1 and s2) the 3 areas from skate 3 make mad!

I'm honestly pretty stoked on it. I grow up playing this game and pawn is right they've done sim mode before even replay editors and uploading. I'm def gonna but it when it comes out. Besides it's one trailer with a line, you never know what they have planned or decide to change. Hardcore mode maybe? You can do that line any of the skates on easy

Now I want a simulation.

bengrover

Kinda stoked to go back to the pro skater era, hopefully with some old some new locations.

What's holding the excitement back a little is when I played the THPS series I was a kid, and way before I got into rl skating and watching it on TV etc. So I rather enjoyed the massive manny combos and the crazy challenges. But now I'm not so sure I'm gonna enjoy the button mashing, backflipping, million point combos to progress through the game.

Definitely will be great at first to the fans of the original series, but after a while, I'm not sure how much longer the interest would last.

Then again, all I've seen is a trailer. Controls may be completely changed, and we might have the ability to slow it down, realistically skate, and maybe even film some stuff. Who knows.

replicant

12-11-2011, 05:05 AM

It's going to be a download game for under $20 on Xbox Live Arcade and Playstation Store. They are not trying to reinvent the wheel here, but merely gauge interest for future games. After the failures of the past few THPS titles they are very gun shy now.

THPS 1 & 2 are still my favorites (with an honorable mention for THUG) and I look forward to this as a cheap diversion game. I hope for my $15-$20 that I at least get the original Sim Mode though. Bullet Time might be included as well if the video is any hint.

Mage505

12-11-2011, 05:31 AM

I'm so confused!

Is it a THPS HD game or a completely new game?

Deacon

12-11-2011, 08:14 AM

Ok. I loved THPS 1-4 for the crazy combos and the fact it was my first experience with behind the skater 3d world game (remember BAD'n'Rad sede scroller on the Game Boy?)! However since playing skate simulation is way more fun. It will be fun to replay some of the old levels, but I think they have missed a trick by not making a new game that caters to arcade and simulation fans alike.

Proving ground had the sim mode, but the awful animaiton and control system ruined it a little. Plus the replay editor had a couple of good functions but still wasn't great.

I'll still be buying this though, just for fun of it.

Ayreon

12-11-2011, 08:32 AM

I keep saying now that EA has more or less abandoned the skate series it makes perfect sense for another franchise, most likely tony hawk, to come out with a new game with fluck it controls and steal the fanbase. Skate series probably got a bit lazy over the years because they had no competition. Im sure NONE of us have skate loyalty, or more importantly, EA loyalty so if another series could provide us with the realistic skateboarding experience with the ability to upload replays....peace the fuck out EA. lick my balls.

but this one is clearly arcade. i guess its for the die hard tony hawk fans.

Well. The flickit controls are trademarked to EA. So that's it....

i think all they have to do is come up with the exact same thing but using a their own engine and call it something else. i dont think you can trademark a way to play a game. thats bullshit. but they can trademark the actual technology used to read the motion of the joysticks. other companies will just have to make their own engine from stratch.

replicant

12-11-2011, 08:53 AM

It's a remix of sorts using levels from THPS 1 & 2 in HD.
From the video it looks like a new graphic engine.
It is also a budget title and digital title so it will be download only and cost under $20.

Ladd279

12-11-2011, 08:57 AM

Yeah i think ayreons right about it isn't copyright if it's own engine. I've seen so many guitar hero look like companies other than rock band.

12-11-2011, 09:06 AM

Even if the flickit system is patented Tony Hawk just has to work out a contract and payment with EA to use it.

bengrover

12-11-2011, 09:12 AM

If they were smart, they would take note of the Skate series ending and take a year or two to re invent the whole system, look, feel, everything and then release a whole new look Tony Hawk. Being the only major skating game on the market, they have the whole market to them self.

Seems dumb to not jump on that opportunity.

Some teams just can't do it right I mean look at shaun white's skateboarding..
360 hardflip is like spelling your name with the joystick..

and for visuals I'd so prefer something prerendered over something over thought and ruined by saturated stories.

Now, being on topic, I totally agree with bengrover too, but that's something that I we all know it's hardly going to happen.
Another down about this game is that, I bet they'll release the best maps later with DLCs....

Not holding out much hope for this one now. Seeing as its a download only, and they have only just announced it and as early as first half of 2012 release.

Hopefully just something to note the Hawk is still doing games, before BLAM, he hits us with the greatest skateboarding game ever. Doubtful.

Just to try and make it simple for you, do you see the plane next to the halfpipe in the new game's trailer?
cause I don't, I see a rail, like the warehouse, 'cause that's what it is.

If you need further proof,

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yRk5B3pRh4g

pause the new trailer, at :15 - :16 seconds, before he nosegrinds around the corner,
you'll see two channel gaps from the start of the level, the hanger only has one.

Agreed,

Easy mode in S3 is more fun for arcade stuff than any THPS anyway.

I'm still gonna grab the new game, if for nothing else, just to skate the school, realistically, in hd and hopefully with at least the sim mode we got in Proving Ground.

12-14-2011, 03:57 PM

I have mixed feelings about this... though the older tony hawk games were the best I wouldn't be surprised if they found a way to fuck it up.. although I can't say I didn't enjoy playing with my cousin... playing skate 3 online got really stale after awhile. i really wanted them to include levels from more than just 2 of the previous games... i do enjoy the level designs.. like in thpg which got boring really fast I would skate around the city realistically and it was actually pretty fun... especially this school /courthouse or whatever in Baltimore I think it was... hella fun.. still gonna get this.. especially if it's gonna be the cheap

RedScharlach

12-15-2011, 01:40 PM

maybe there will be a big twist... like, you're on the moon, and thats why the physics are so fucked, and you're in a massive skatepark complex that happens to be made up of thps1/2 levels

and then like, the next levels would take place on the surface of the moon, and you would ride the moon dunes kinda like one sand-boards, and go down a fullpipe thats a massive missile launcher, and then come out the other side of the moon and do a fakie manual across the giant black monolith, and then get beamed to fucking saturn.

if they did all that, plus throw in a kinda rails shooter mini game where you're longboarding in hyperspace shooting at extradimensional beings, I might play it.

PoppySquidJr

The problem here is that it is confirmed they will not have the same soundtrack and the controls are the new THPS controls/tricks.

At least give us the option to resort to THPS1/THPS2 controls/trick selection.

All this is is basically DLC for the last Tony Hawk game.

I hope they do what they did with Underground, where every individual "new feature" is togglable. E.g. keep reverts on and turn manuals off (No clue why that'd be done but just an example)
