New tony hawk...

**Ayreon** · 12-11-2011, 08:32 AM

I keep saying now that EA has more or less abandoned the skate series it makes perfect sense for another franchise, most likely tony hawk, to come out with a new game with fluck it controls and steal the fanbase. Skate series probably got a bit lazy over the years because they had no competition. Im sure NONE of us have skate loyalty, or more importantly, EA loyalty so if another series could provide us with the realistic skateboarding experience with the ability to upload replays....peace the fuck out EA. lick my balls.

but this one is clearly arcade. i guess its for the die hard tony hawk fans.

i think all they have to do is come up with the exact same thing but using a their own engine and call it something else. i dont think you can trademark a way to play a game. thats bullshit. but they can trademark the actual technology used to read the motion of the joysticks. other companies will just have to make their own engine from stratch.

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.

**Ladd279** · 12-11-2011, 08:57 AM

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.

**mrkd. matt** · 12-11-2011, 09:06 AM

Even if the flickit system is patented Tony Hawk just has to work out a contract and payment with EA to use it.

**bengrover** · 12-11-2011, 09:12 AM

If they were smart, they would take note of the Skate series ending and take a year or two to re invent the whole system, look, feel, everything and then release a whole new look Tony Hawk. Being the only major skating game on the market, they have the whole market to them self.

Seems dumb to not jump on that opportunity.

**Ayreon** · 12-11-2011, 09:42 AM

NO FUCKING DOUBT /\

its Tony's chance to reclaim the skating video game crown.

Some teams just can't do it right I mean look at shaun white's skateboarding..
360 hardflip is like spelling your name with the joystick..

and for visuals I'd so prefer something prerendered over something over thought and ruined by saturated stories.

Well that just means they have a lot of work to do to make it right. making a good video game shouldnt be easy.

No park creator and it will be a huge let down.

**NotedDerk** · 12-11-2011, 01:37 PM

I thought it was going to be some big game as well, not just simply an arcade game, but oh well.
I'm still excited, just not nearly as much, i'm asking for a ton of microsoft points for christmas.

**saunders420** · 12-11-2011, 02:45 PM

so fuckin disappointed I can't write in Caps to ream on this game.

Don't get me wrong, I love THPS, had so much fun with them during my childhood, but...

Now, being on topic, I totally agree with bengrover too, but that's something that I we all know it's hardly going to happen.
Another down about this game is that, I bet they'll release the best maps later with DLCs....

**bengrover** · 12-12-2011, 03:40 AM

Not holding out much hope for this one now. Seeing as its a download only, and they have only just announced it and as early as first half of 2012 release.

Hopefully just something to note the Hawk is still doing games, before BLAM, he hits us with the greatest skateboarding game ever. Doubtful.

It's not ea's skate, don't expect it to be or turn into it.

i was a th fan when it kinda was the only option. I am sure i don't want to smash buttons anymore. Nostalgia ? just need to plug my playstation 1 and play...HD remakes are weak and still the best way to steal your money.
What is beyond me is how people playing easkate can be stoked after watching this terrible trailer ?

**NotedDerk** · 12-12-2011, 05:02 AM

I think 3D wins the category of best way to steal people's money, ha.
You can hate the whole idea of this if you want, doesn't bother me.
I just love skateboarding, whether it's arcade or a simulation, and i'll be practically excited for anything new.

**NotedDerk** · 12-13-2011, 12:38 AM

Why do people keep calling the level the hanger?

it's the damn warehouse, even though the hanger is similar to the warehouse.

**jerr bear** · 12-13-2011, 02:52 AM

I'm totally gonna buy it looks sick

If you want a simulation, go skate

**Antwan** · 12-13-2011, 03:12 AM

I'm pretty sure it is the hangar dude.. I can see glass.
Warehouse was blocked off by a brick wall.

**EternalRewind** · 12-13-2011, 03:18 AM

Its the warehouse dude

**jerr bear** · 12-13-2011, 03:39 AM

Remember carlsbad on thps2? ???! ?! ? ? !?! ?

yes, school 2, having to go over that huge wall.
and no antwan, it is the warehouse.

Warehouse;

Hanger;

Just to try and make it simple for you, do you see the plane next to the halfpipe in the new game's trailer?
cause I don't, I see a rail, like the warehouse, 'cause that's what it is.

If you need further proof,

pause the new trailer, at :15 - :16 seconds, before he nosegrinds around the corner,
you'll see two channel gaps from the start of the level, the hanger only has one.

**Antwan** · 12-13-2011, 09:19 AM

It looked like glass at first glance.. Guess it's just a weird wall.

**NotedDerk** · 12-13-2011, 09:32 AM

Never doubt my tony hawk series knowledge!

**agusbmxarg** · 12-13-2011, 09:49 AM

Derk, the THPSHD's trailer map is warehouse from THPS1, not Hanger from THPS2, that's why you don't see a plane and just one channel gap.

**NotedDerk** · 12-13-2011, 09:53 AM

oh my god, I know this agus, I was fixing what antwan thought it was.

**knexzor** · 12-13-2011, 04:52 PM

I'd rather spend an hour trying to get a perfect looking fs hurricane with my flick-it, than to spend an hour trying to get a million points darksliding around the Rio level flipping between guard rails.

Agreed,

Easy mode in S3 is more fun for arcade stuff than any THPS anyway.

I'm still gonna grab the new game, if for nothing else, just to skate the school, realistically, in hd and hopefully with at least the sim mode we got in Proving Ground.

**jerr bear** · 12-14-2011, 02:14 AM

I find THPS more fun to play with friends than EA skate

I think I could second this; last weekend I took my ps3 to friends and while playing, thought of showing them what I like of this game, filmed a line I was happy with but after 5 min. they're all seeing my like 'wtf?'

**oKwiider** · 12-14-2011, 03:57 PM

I have mixed feelings about this... though the older tony hawk games were the best I wouldn't be surprised if they found a way to fuck it up.. although I can't say I didn't enjoy playing with my cousin... playing skate 3 online got really stale after awhile. i really wanted them to include levels from more than just 2 of the previous games... i do enjoy the level designs.. like in thpg which got boring really fast I would skate around the city realistically and it was actually pretty fun... especially this school /courthouse or whatever in Baltimore I think it was... hella fun.. still gonna get this.. especially if it's gonna be the cheap

**RedScharlach** · 12-15-2011, 01:40 PM

maybe there will be a big twist... like, you're on the moon, and thats why the physics are so fucked, and you're in a massive skatepark complex that happens to be made up of thps1/2 levels

and then like, the next levels would take place on the surface of the moon, and you would ride the moon dunes kinda like one sand-boards, and go down a fullpipe thats a massive missile launcher, and then come out the other side of the moon and do a fakie manual across the giant black monolith, and then get beamed to fucking saturn.

if they did all that, plus throw in a kinda rails shooter mini game where you're longboarding in hyperspace shooting at extradimensional beings, I might play it.

**Antwan** · 12-15-2011, 02:53 PM

The reason I was bummed is because I can play skate 3 like tony hawk or like hardcore low pop
I don't know if I can see myself getting into this one.. We'll see.. I'd like to read and see more on it.
Why doesn't anyone else play easy and hardcore? It's beyond me.. it's crazy fun.
