Who really wants to go back to that "flip in flip out" bullshit? Did anyone see that combo?
Video games were video games before technology exceeded.
Now I want a simulation.

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.

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.

I'm so confused!

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

[Deacon]

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.

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.

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.
