Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 5 Officially Revealed for PS4/PS3, Xbox One/360

Oh...great So the dev team that made 2 of the WORST games the franchise has ever seen, and a horrible port of two classic games, is now going to make THPS5? Activision, still suprises me with it's stupidity.

Another THUG would be sweet. Even better would be a continuation of what they were doing with Proving Ground. The whole "create-your-own-trick-on-the-fly" mechanic was really quite awesome. It actually gave you more freedom than Skate, since Skate just used more intuitive controls to do pre-canned moves. Only Proving Ground actually let you do whatever you wanted with the board... though there was a steep learning curve associated with doing so.

To this day, I'm still piqued that there's a bug that doesn't let you complete a challenge in Proving Ground, which stops your progress in the game. They abandoned it so fast after release that they never even patched it. I've still got an old save file where I'm stuck on that challenge, unable to get to the content locked behind it. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

No PC version, but at least PS4 has Spotify now. I like to have a playlist with classic THPS tracks - the ones featured in recent Tony Hawk games have been not all that good.

On the plus side, THPS 5 might mean it's going back to its roots.

Edit: Robomodo. Ugh, oh well.

Well, if the game ends up being good, I'd buy a PC version. I played THPS2, THUG2 and THAW on PC, so I really don't get why they would suddenly stop making PC versions. Maybe they'll announce one later like R* did with GTA V.

If they don't make one though, I might have to settle for the PS3 version... but only if it's 60fps. Ah, who am I kidding? Of course it won't run at 60fps on last-gen, and it probably won't even be good anyway.

"Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 5 is announced!"

*get's excited*

so the worst games in the series?

no one wants another pro skater, everyone wants another underground. More poeple would buy an HD remake of t.h.u.g. than this new pro skater game i can garantee it.

I remember playing Tony Hawk's American Wasteland. Good times.

ugh.....

Skate or Die ftw....

Can we just get Skate 4 please.

Meh don't care. Activision pretty much killed the entire skateboard genre for their typical milking and I just don't feel interested in the Tony Hawk games anymore.

Finally a Skating game for Current Gen!

Tony Hawk has gotten more and more bland since they introduced open world elements. I think there's a way to make Tony Hawk work with an open world, but the way it was implemented--where you can only work on achieving one mission at a time--too often makes the Tony Hawk game feel like a collection of minigames.

Tony Hawk 4 (the last game in the series I owned) was definitely fun, but for me THPS3 is probably the apex of the series. Perfect controls (with the much-needed addition of the revert), great level design, and it still had the addictive 'how man objectives can you complete in 2 minutes?' structure of the original games.

Sick!

No Skate 4? ...I think we'd much rather have Skate 4, guys.

Honestly that is a pretty boring list of pro skaters too.... I like Reynolds, Ishod Wair and Bufoni, Gonz is pretty cool, but the rest are zzZZZZzzzzz

THPS5 is about 13 years and 3 ".skate" games too late.

This is either going to be an interesting update, or a boring flop.

I'm betting on the latter, at least until I see some gameplay.

Really wish that said "SKATE 4" but due to the lack of skateboarding games I might buy this for my PS4.

Sounds interesting. The projectile is obviously a buckshot, fired behind you from a sawn-off, so you go faster on your board. Also, the power-ups are great. The first slows time for you only, so you can pull off a 5000. Another, allows you to grind for 5 minutes without worrying about balance. The third gives you precognition, so you know when not to bail.

Finally the fourth one grants the ability of telekinesis so you can customize the competition parks layout to your liking while simultaneously throwing your competitors elsewhere :-)

Awesome even when games started getting bad scores by the press I still loved the games. Project 8 was so fun.
