Hadn't heard about this, but I checked their FB page and it's been updated.
Xbox 360 will get it tomorrow and PS3/PC will get it "a few weeks later".
No dates or any other information given. Very strange indeed.

Testing out the demo in a minute, still downloading.
Read in one review that the controls are wack and don't respond correctly.
Others just complain about no local split-screen multiplayer, everything else is good.

I have the demo downloaded and it feels very odd. Mainly I think it is because I am
so used to playing Skate that the controls just feel "wrong". Been trying to buy it, but XBL
is currently down so I can't pick it up yet.

Played the demo and I'll put it like this...

Skate has revolutionized skateboarding in video games too much. Pro Skater HD feels like a short, nostalgic step back.
Playing it, I can remember what it feels like to hold the PS1 controllers in my hand. It's definitely a 15 dollar game.
It's a good "side" game. If I'm ever bored, stuck staring at my dashboard, I could play TH right quick.
But yeah, Skate is way ahead of THPS's time for me to enjoy it for an extended amount of time.

The only rational complaint I have for Pro Skater HD is...
You can only skate as pros, and there are so few of them.

I'm a fan of the main games of the Tony Hawk series, though.
This might be the last of the series. I'm going to be happy to purchase it when Xbox Live comes back.

I'm pretty satisfied with the game as well, from what i've seen, still haven't bought it though.
The controls work fine, that review I read about them being unresponsive was a moron, he probably just wasn't familiar with the layout.
It's pretty dumb that you can't finish a run, at least, but I just ended up pushing back and doing quick retries after a minute.
The grinds can be a bit wacky at times, but it's not that distracting from simply enjoying the game.

I think the reviews that are giving this game a 8 out of 10 are pretty accurate, but then again, haven't seen the whole game.

EDIT: I forgot to mention one thing, the pop shuv and front shove animation look fucking ridiculous, haha.
NOBODY spreads their legs like they're doing a damn airwalk just to land a shuv it.

EDIT:

So, I bought it. I'm actually pretty happy with the purchase.

The levels are: Warehouse, School II, The Hangar, Mall, Venice Beach, Downhill Jam, and Marseille (unlocked in that order).

There is no character customization, however, you can use your Xbox Avatar... haha. You can add stats to the pros as if they were customizable and there is an option for style 1, 2, 3, etc.. but I haven't unlocked it yet. You can change boards, add tricks and customize controls for tricks.

I think it's worth 15 bucks if you like to play Tony Hawk at all. I'm having fun with it.


The soundtrack is bringing back all kinds of nostalgia.

Can you take away stats?
