Oh Oh Holy shit man!

 

[Hopeford]

I think the environments themselves look pretty nice, but man those character models look...weird.

 

[Son Of D]

I get the game looks bad, but can we stop with the "PS2 game" comments? Go look at Underground 2 and tell me that looks graphically similar to this.

I'd say it looks like an early 360 game. Most likely a cross gen port from a PS2 game.

 

[m_shortpants]

All hyperbole aside, it does look like a last gen game.

 

[Chamber]

If we put cell-shading on it, we can write it off the poor graphics as stylized!

This was so clearly the thought process. This game is an embarrassment.

 

[Kriken]

Are those even fingers? Lol

 

[EBreda]

Goddam this is just atrocious. I fail to understand how this will help the game whatsoever.

I also support the "it's so bad let's make it seem like an artistic choice" theory. It's been awful for some time, but only now they can confidently say "we wanted to goof it up a little bit cause skate doesn't need to be so serious all the time" line.

 

[antitrop]

This is probably nostalgia talking, but I think it looks way worse than even Project 8.

Project 8 looked like shit, too.

 

[NickatNite]

PS2 didn't look that bad bro...

Thats Skate not THPS

 

[ShockingAlberto]

All hyperbole aside, it does look like a last gen game.

Last gen launch at best.

 

[Luke_Wal]

The backgrounds look fine, but the character models really do look like the crowds from Forza 5. I can't even comprehend how this goes out the door looking like this.

 

[SocksAndShoes]

Are those even fingers? Lol

Lady Deathstrike DLC confirmed.

 

[GustyGardens]

I don't mind the look, just as long as it plays fine. From what I've seen, it plays similar to the other games. I played a few hours of Underground on the Gamecube not too long ago, so it's fairly fresh in my mind. If it plays like that, I'm okay with it.

 

[TheSlySoul]

Thats Skate not THPS

Yeah Google search fail, ha ha.
Still though early PS3 game still looks much better.

 

[blastprocessor]

Worst graphics for a AAA game this generation.

Hope you're reading this Activision

 

[Doczu]

DS Flashbacks

Hey that game had some legit good gamwplay!

 

[Umibozu]

I like the new look

 

[Caronte]

It looks even worse, amazing.

 

[Sadist]

Wow a photoshop thread, we didn't have one of those in a long while!

Thanks guys lol

 

[Leafhopper]

I get the game looks bad, but can we stop with the "PS2 game" comments? Go look at Underground 2 and tell me that looks graphically similar to this.

It does legitimately look like a late gen PS2 game to me. Or one of those early 360 cross port games that was also on PS2 and Xbox.

 

[CSX]

Instantly roared in laughter lmfao

 

[Triggerhappytel]

This is either going to get delayed or it will be a steaming pile of shit.

Both seem quite likely.

 

[NickatNite]

Yeah Google search fail, ha ha.
Still though early PS3 game still looks much better.

Agreee

 

[AmaterasuOni]

This is exactly what I thought. Hahah!

 

[socksfelloff]

My sides.

This game is going to be amazing.

 

[VE3TRO]

The fuck lol. It's like A Scanner Darkly.

 

[liquidtmd]

Meth: Not even once

 

[Housh]

What a disaster.

 

[Princess Viola]

holy shit

 

[Joey Ravn]

holy shit

It's more of a Tony shit, actually.

 

[BlazingDarkness]

Somebody got paid to okay these screenshots. To say, 'yeah okay, these are good, this is what people want to see.' Somebody with actual human eyeballs.

Thanks for the laughs, Activision!

 

[SteveTR]

I didn't wanna say that this looks really bad, but wow. This looks really bad.

 

[Vital Tundra]

So they saw how people weren't falling for how shit it looks, so they slapped on cel-shading and called it a day. Lmao

 

[The Flash]

B-E-A-utiful

 

[Pyramid head]

I guess this potentially one of those games where stills don't do it justice?

Maybe the animations will be great and it needs to be seen in motion.

We've seen it moving. It looked like dogshit in motion too.

 

[Grizzo]

reminds me of the DS version of American Sk8land

although this was 11 years ago...

 

[L33T]

Tony Hawk's Pro Shitter

 

[tapedeck]

I see the Forza 5 crowds got a new job

I don't see the point of the cel shader

#IMDED

 

[robotrock]

Damn, that's just awful.

 

[glaurung]

This game somehow looks worse with each showing.

Most games improve in at least some areas, but this has gone from stupid to weak to superweak in a matter of weeks. WTF.

Project 8 looked like shit, too.

I remember this. That's the level where Tony lost his dentures and then you had to find them. Hint: look inside mailbox.

 

[Nokterian]

Oh god /dead

 

[fierrotlepou]

Why would you just destroy a good franchise like this.

They even have the guts to call this TURD Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 5. As if it's a worthy successor.

Shame on you all.

 

[Kriken]

nvm

 

[Kane1345]

 

[Frozenprince]

They are actually going to charge $60 for this abomination.

 

[Gurish]

It's hard to believe this game runs on the same hardware that runs U4 and Horizon or Quantom Break, they are like 2 gens apart.

 

[Cfer]

Take 2 should really bring back Thrasher: Skate and Destroy.

I love that game and still frequently listen to its soundtrack on my drive to work... Excellent

 

[thatJohann]

I think it looks better. Good looking game? No! Better than before? Yes.

 

[whitehawk]

They couldn't even get a HD port right. I have no idea why anyone looks at this game and says 'wait until it's out'. You can say whatever about the graphics, but this developer has made the simplest 'recreation' of Tony Hawk in HD and they completely fucked it up.

Didn't realize it was the same dev as THHD. That doesn't bode well.

 

[Cardon]

Game looks odd as fuck. Want to hope for the best since it's a Chicago pride thing with Robomodo since I want local folks to succeed, but I'm wary of how good this game will end up being aside from delivering good Photoshop potential.
