Tony Hawk's Project 8 mo-cap News

PlayStation 2 Xbox PSP Xbox 360 PlayStation 3
News by Tom Bramwell

18 July, 2006

If you're looking forward to Neversoft's next-gen take on Tony Hawk - currently going by the name Project 8 - then you might want to check out a recent addition to Eurogamer TV.

It's a video of skateboarder Steve Williams going through the process of motion-capturing the moves that form the basis of the game's oh-so-realistic animations - followed by a quick glimpse of the finished product.

The full game is due out on PS3, Xbox 360, PS2, Xbox and PSP, and Neversoft is aiming for more goals, side missions, mini-games and secret areas than in any other Tony Hawk title - the latter reached by adding your own skate elements like ramps and rails, a bit like in Amped 3. You'll also have to build up "respect" in the local citizenry.

THP8 is due out this autumn. By which time we'll have found a way to use "Tony Hawk's Project 8 My Hamster" - don't you worry.

Why? It's a huge franchise? Why give up something which sells well?

Or is this fanboy economics at its worst?

I only ever played on two of them, TH2 and THUG, if they keep that sandbox theme like the last one i might considergetting this one, i don't like the breaking bones idea.

Fanboy! Whatever mate! lol

You may enjoy playing the same IP over and over again, I don't. Give me something new. The first Tony Hawks was great, brilliant, played the demo solidly for two months, it then went downhill from 2 onwards; as soon as you could use manuals to connect tricks, it just became ridiculously absurd.

As for the economics, invest in some new IP rather than whipping a dying horse...

Dammit, I read "mo-cap" as "co-op" and got really interested for a second.

we'll have at least another 9 years of this

TH 17 anyone?

I enjoyed the first 4 games but the recent efforts have not really added that much, just a case of rehashing the same concept. But if people still enjoy it thats cool

Gyaaaaah

Go back to the basics, boys! This has easily turned into the Madden franchise on wheels.
