New details have been revealed of Tony Hawk's Project 8, which is being billed as "the most unique, robust and realistic skateboarding game experience ever." Gosh.
The game is in development for PS3, Xbox 360, PS2, Xbox and PSP and apparently there are more goals, side missions, secret areas and mini-games than in any other Tony Hawk title.
New gameplay features include Filmer and Photo Goals, where you must perform loads of tricks for a photo shoot, or follow the instructions of a cameraman. A Picture-in-Picture feature lets you watch the gameplay on the main screen whilst observing how you're film's shaping up in a little box.
You can place rails and ramps around the city to get access to secret areas and pull off tip top combos - which is essential, because you must build up "respect" by impressing the local citizens. They'll watch your tricks and, rather unpleasantly, will laugh when you fall over and punch you if you knock them down.
You can track your stats via the in-game record keeping system, and switch characters whenever you like. Inevitably, you can expect enhanced physics and responsive controls. There's also a new system that allows you to pull off advanced grinds and bails which can minimise - or maximise - damage. The PS3 and Xbox 360 versions will use a brand new game engine that's been built from the ground up.
Tony Hawk's Project 8 is out in the autumn.

The instructions of a camera man? That doesn't sound like Amped at all.

It died after 2!
3 was terrible. After that I had to play on the GBA versions. |

I always say to myself "It is just the same game as before". And then play 24 hours straight just to get my hand coordination skills back on track. 1 was good, 2 was great, 3 and 4 were great but more-of-the-same, and the two thug... well, I've played them and the standard skate parts are ace as usual, but the rest is just too rough on the edges (but the final mission in thug 1 is still one of the best challenges ever created for a tony hawk game).
All in all... I'll be buying this. And playing it 24 hours straight. No matter what. |

After seeing the tony hawks vid on xbox live market place the game looks alot more realistic, i played the first 2 games but lost all interest as it was an arcade game and nothing like actually skating. This game looks to change that with the trailer showing some real classic tricks pulled off by the likes Rodney Mullen and others and they looked mint. I hope they stop the arcade rubbish and make it more real
/sarcasm on I often see people link up 30+ tricks down the local skate park linking them together like ingame /sarcasm off |

The physics and body movements in the vids I've seen looked really good, much more realistic and you can see each skaters different styles rather than all of them looking more or less the same. Good stuff.
And yeah, less of the bullshit over the top moves and a bit more realism ala the Thrasher game that was on PS1 puleeeze. |

I cannot wait for the annual Tony Hawks update, it means it's Xmas and there will be far far better titles out to buy.
