Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 5 Review

[Roflcopter]

i just wish tony cared a little bit more about his name than to let it be on this crap. if he doesnt care about vgames, he shouldnt have his name on one. if he DOES care about games theres no way he would let this get through quality control. do you give a shit, Tony?

This. Did he ask to make another one? Why was this series randomly rebooted? I don't get it.

Activision had a contract with the tony hawk franchise since 2002 and it expires this year. I'm sure they pushed Robomobo to shit out one more title before it's done with to milk whatever money was left from the fans that were willing to try another THPS, even if it's Robomodo behind the development. Seanne posted a link about it earlier in this thread.

haha.. I cant even remember how I felt about the early tony hawk games.
There was no comparison and I was about eight years old when pro skater dropped.
The old days had a lot going for them.
It wasn't money out of my pocket, every game was great back then and I always played with friends.

yeah i read the link earlier. the question is Tony goin around doin publicity and crap trying to say its a good game and has shit never seen before (dont remember the exact hype terms he used). Contracts must be strict as hell, or he just doesn't give a shit about quality, if he was pushing this crap that hard.

I imagine hes at least played an early build..
He could also have lower standards than gamers.
We immediately say to ourselves, is this worth the price?
While he may be more along the lines of..
Do I find this fun, is skateboarding involved?
If so, No more no less. No thought about what's wrong with it.

[EmmitBrown]

but wouldnt he notice it isnt as stable as the first game that came out over 15 years ago? not to mention all the glitchy fuckups that he couldnt have missed unless he only played for a few seconds.


edit: if it really is a "no more, no less" whatever that means, then he's a piece of shit that doesn't give a shit about quality control or customer satisfaction. he should go back to delivering pizza hut pies.

if i was famous and had a biopic made about me, and hired the producers and director of Singled Out to make it, it would be my fault it sucked
