Tony Hawk's Pro Skater HD


Hey gang just wanted to give everyone a quick update with some overall Q&A for Tony Hawk's Pro Skater HD:

What are the controls like?
No peripherals (ie, plastic skateboards). The game is played with the controller with analog sticks. The goal is to keep the feel the same as the classic THPS games. You can also play with only the button controls, like on the original PsOne controller.

Will there be online play?
Yes. Look out for details in a few weeks.

Will the game feature the original soundtracks?
Some of the songs, but definitely not all of them.

Will the game be available on disc to buy in stores?
No. It will be for download only via Xbox LIVE and PlayStation Network.

Will the game be coming to PC/iPhone/iPad/3DS?
There are no plans at the moment to bring the game to these systems, but things could change!

How much will the game cost?
About $15.

Will there be reverts in the game?
No, reverts will not be part of trick combos. You can still ride switch of course, but reverts can not be added to combos.

Will there be manuals in the game?
Yes.

Will there be walking and/or spraypainting in the game?
No.

Will there be post-release DLC?
No details on DLC yet. Stay tuned.

When is the game coming out?
Mid summer 2012.

no original soundtrack, no buy

no walking.. I can see that being a bitch.

[bengrover]

No original soundtrack. No walking.

So essentially the same game but if anything, worse.

well the first two tony hawk games didn't have walking so I guess they just wanted to make it as similar to how the game was, just with the improved graphics.

but that doesn't explain why they wouldn't use the same soundtrack, I loved those.

Licensing... they licensed the music for the original, bands want to be paid for remakes as well. Tony's makin dough, they wanna make some too.

project 8 was a full game.
