Hey Antwan, Rockstar made Thrasher. I know I'd be down for a next gen version.

Thrasher and Grind Session miss them old time feelings
Well if rockstar published it someone should convince them to hire on a new team and publish another one haha.
Blackbox? Hmm hmm? Its a funny thought but they did say they got inspiration from skate.
I have no issue with any developer attempting a skateboarding simulation something.
So long as they do their research. Reboots of those old games would be interesting.
I've never played grind session or skate n destroy sadly.
Still looks like there's some nice ideas there.
It was pure tony hawk for me until og skate.
I want to get some old game systems again though so I'll keep an eye out for those.
I always wanted to try Dave Mirra when I was younger and had to settle for the Matt Hoffman demo.
I might've missed out on other games if I had those simulation titles though.
Considering how much time I've spent on skate haha.
z-axis developed it, and then became part of activision blizzard and changed their name to underground development and then went defunct in 2010. i dont know who holds rights to a game (devs, pubs, distributors or a combo move), but if z-axis had any, and activision acquired them with their acquisition of z-axis, then id say it's trapped in limbo never to be made again.
edit: and yeah emerica i loved that game. lake tahoe was my favorite but they were all good tracks. remember you could run over chickens and stuff?! hahaha

hell yeah your welcome
Had a few minutes, thought this would be a nice change of pace.
This is the first time I've thought about it so my list is pretty short.
Skate 4 tricks, what would we add? Go!
Primos
Start a fliptrick and darkcatch halfway through rotation while close to the surface of an object or on flatground.
Won't work if you have too much height.
If you have enough momentum you can manipulate the spin of the board while on its side for a short time using the left stick.
No comply flip tricks
Plant your foot and flick the right stick in the motion of the fliptrick you want a no comply variation of.
Hard to say how this should work..
I imagine it being a fast flick to make it happen.
Hippie Jump 50-50s
Just have it less likely that you'll bail out trying these, but still have to work for it.
These tricks are instant bails in real grind scenarios currently.
Fliptrick footplants
Use the preferred trigger to catch the fliptrick and plant a foot.
Less likely to bail out if done right.
Cannonballs
Start a nose or tail grab, while still holding that first trigger and doing the first grab, do the reverse and hold the other trigger.
Sal-flips
This one sounds tricky but I love this trick.
While rolling, get off the board but at the same time flick the right stick in a hardflip motion. Blaow!
Our best option currently for getting EA to do anything Skate related is to vote on those Xbox One backwards compatibility polls. Skate is doing well and has a SHIT TON of comments, however the more, the better. It would let them know that hey, there is a market for your game and a market that has adopted next-gen consoles.
As for Rockstar, we have already contacted the head of Rockstar and he expressed his love for Thrasher and skateboarding in general, but didn't sound very into a skateboarding game. They've got their cash cows, you know.
Skate was a perfect formula. A new game coming along and trying to do what Skate accomplished would probably result in a disappointment and that could harm what we actually want even more because other developers would look at a skateboarding game that flops and just steer clear of the genre after.
Showing our interest as customers is the best option. Throwing ideas out for content, trying to hit up other developers, and all that is probably going to do nothing. Skate was huge for a while, it's on people's radar and if other developers see us hooting' n hollerin' for another Skate then someone else might come along and try to grab the market. I dunno...
Tony Hawk is trying to cash in on THPS, not skateboarding in general. He can talk about his love for skateboarding and bringing it to a game, but that's just bullshit PR talk. People who enjoy THPS enjoy it for what it is, not because it involves skateboarding. Those people are already expressing their disinterest with the new THPS as well... it looks AWFUL, especially for a next-gen game. I have a feeling it may be the nail in the coffin for the THPS series anyways.
PS: Albert can fuck the fuck off. What a POS.
