I'm buying this tomorrow. I loved the original Tony Hawk trilogy of games, and for $15 it seems like a fun trip down memory lane, with modernized graphics.
Personally I never played this game in split screen, and I never created a skater, so I've got no complaints. If I buy the first DLC pack in a month for $5, I'll have paid $20 for 10 maps. Seems like a decent deal to me.

Its $15, but except for graphics it sounds a fair bit worse than the original version of TH2. Have to wait for PSN but i'm not so sure if I'm gonna bite.

They said it would sacrifice too much time and therefore quality.

to be fair, it is THEE SONG from THPS1 tho ;D
No argument here. That song and warehouse level together.
Agreed. I never played as either Koston, Hawkman etc.. Always created my own skater.
Because it's a downloadable game and how many downloadable, 3d games do you know of with create a character?

I don't know many downloadable 3D games with skateboards in either but I damn well expect them in this.
Some trailer for Koston skating in the Hangar.

Whoa, sweet front flip bro!!!
The hell, this is not what fans of the originals (aka me) wanted. THPS2 had minimal airtime which I loved. You could barely ollie over a picnic table, let alone do the stupid crazy stuff they've allowed now. Guess I'll just stick to emulating the best. I like the retro graphics better than this UE shit anyway.

wtf are you on about? Maybe you turned on high gravity and lowered all your stats or something?

yeah I remember Tony Hawk 2, feeling much more....vertical in its jumps (even though they did put in big drop warnings)

So is this game 60fps?
It runs on Unreal 3 which was a weird choice but Ill have to wait and see the results.

A lot of the physics confusion is from how much stats effect everything. At the beginning, you can barely ollie, at the end you can leap small buildings.
I think the most damning thing about this game is how unenthusiastic Gerstmann is about it. Still, I'll give it a shot when in launches for PS3.

The review posted before states specifically that that's not the case.
nahh, i remember barely being able to kickflip the railing on the leap of death. you could hardly make it over where the stairs curve. idk, i like playing realistically.
i don't like going for huge combos, i like finding real life spots and doing tricks real people would do over them, so they went in the wrong direction when redoing the physics.

also unfortunately you can't lower your stats once you increase them 
Yeah I understand what you're saying but I think you either used a skater that had bad ollie/air stats or you had some codes on...
Sim Mode perhaps?

that doesn't make the game rushed. a games 'time' is budget in manhours. if the game was higher budget you'd have more manhours in the development time. this is probably budgeted like an XBLA title rather than a full retail titles. expecting the game to have all the features of a full retail title is probably expecting a bit much.

Oh yeah now you've reminded me of what was probably the cause, I always played with mini mode on, that might have made the difference. I couldn't stand how big the regular models were so basically since I got the game I played with that code enabled. Once you play it like that for a while they all look like giants otherwise. Everything is more to scale when you play that way too I think.
Fuck yeah I'm hyped. I played so much THPS back in the day, I played every game up until that stupid skateboard peripheral and then I got super into EA's Skate series.
I don't mind the ridiculous physics but after I beat the game with everyone I would always go back and try and skate as realistically as possible, so when Skate came out it was like a dream come true. I still play Skate 3 every few days, but I could go for some ridiculous skating since its been so long
It's weird seeing Nike SB's in THPS 1 though haha.

The complaints in the 6/10 review don't really bother me. His main complaints seem to be that it doesn't have reverts and you can't control the camera.
Which is funny to me since the first two games didn't even have reverts.

These complaints about the physics/gameplay being different, and not in a good way is concerning.
It was something I was worried about, and sure as shit complaints have been mentioned more than once already.

I don't see how splitscreen or horse is expecting a full retail title and "a bit too much" when it was in the original game they were supposed to be redoing.

Without wanting to sound harsh, who really cares what a couple of nobody reviewers are saying? Any GAFer could give just as valid an opinion and we'll have hundreds of them in around 12 hours!
Posted up a short video on my site, for anyone who cares to check it out :

Here's my review: http://www.thesixthaxis.com/2012/07/18/review-tony-hawks-pro-skater-hd-xbox-360-ps3/
7/10
Complaints about the lack of a revert aren't unwarranted at all. Indeed, the levels from THPS have the manual in them...

I think I started to play at 3 (2001 ish on xbox) but man I hammered it. I wonder if the lack of revert will register as I haven't played since things got weird round THUG.
Anyway I loved old TH too much for this not to be an insta buy, think I must have played that series more than any other game.
I was way into Tiger Woods back then too, man how times have changed.

Since when HD remasters offer less content than the original titles? Ugh. DLC for a HD remaster? Double ugh.
SolidSnakex
Member
It isn't a remaster. Remasters are games from last generation running in a higher resolution. This is basically a greatest hits remake of some of the popular levels from the first two THPS games.
this. Surprised that most people don't get this. Its basically a fundament which will be expanded with dlc. In the end, we will maybe have a complete thps best-of compilation. Can't say I am super happy with it but I take it over the ride games.

if you think the manual has anywhere near of an impact to combos as the revert you shouldn't even be reviewing this game imo
