The Most Hilarious Skateboarding Glitches, Now In Motion
Broking games where physics-driven character animation plays a big part always has glorious results. After a selection of the most awesome classic sport game glitches it would be unwise not to make a follow-up, featuring extreme sports (or you call them action sports) more precisely skateboarding games: Skate 3 and Tony Hawk Pro Skater 2.
There Are So Many Reasons Why You Should Watch This Tony Hawk Pro Skater Speed Run
This incredible Tony Hawk Pro Skater 3 speedrun is a must watch for several reasons. The first is just the incredible technique and skill shown in the video. As someone who played THPS3 to death upon its release, I was astounded by this video. But the second main reason for watching is this: you’d be hard pushed to find a video that so comprehensively goes through almost every aspect of the THPS3 (except Cruise Ship, he doesn’t even go to Cruise Ship for some reason). I’m currently rocking in a nostalgic fetal ball. Sob.
Failure In Tony Hawk HD Looks Better Than Ever
What do you remember most about the original Tony Hawk skateboarding games? The rush of putting together an epic thread of tricks? The exhilaration of notching ever-higher scores? Yeah, those were all great. You’ll get those in the Tony Hawk HD remake that hits Xbox Live today. But the pain… the pain was always the best part.
Tony Hawk Pro Skater HD Feels The Same But Different
While at GDC, I talked to skating legend Tony Hawk about the upcoming re-make of the releases that made him an icon to a generation of gamers. He thinks it’s great but, of course, he would. Me? I found myself surprised at how much I missed the unique style of extreme sports offered by the Tony Hawk Pro Skater games.
Tony Hawk’s HD "Probably" Won’t Have The Original Soundtracks
The best thing about the first two Tony Hawk games, better than the games themselves, were their soundtracks. They were amazing. If you were hoping some of those standout tracks would be in the upcoming HD re-release, though, don’t get your hopes up.
Tony Hawk’s New Game Is Tony Hawk HD
Having teased such an announcement earlier in the week, at tonight’s Spike VGAs skae legend Tony Hawk made it official: after a short hiatus in 2011, his series will be back in 2012 with Tony Hawk HD.
Hope You’re Ready For A New Tony Hawk Game
Activision’s Tony Hawk franchise took its first ever year off in 2011 because it had been run into the ground. Too many games in too many years with not enough new ideas. With the Spike Video Game Awards coming up, it appears that one year off is all Activision felt it could afford.
Tony Hawk Says There’s A New Tony Hawk Game
After taking 2011 off due to poor sales, it sounds like there will another Hawk game. “We’re going to do something probably for next year but I can’t give too much away,” the skater said recently. [Pixelated Geek via GameSpot via VG247]
