Tony Hawk Pro Skater 5

[detective392]

New Tony Hawk game coming to PS4 in 2015

This week during CES 2015 Tony Hawk himself headed to the Sony stage during their product showcase and keynote to "give the press a scoop." He spoke about Sony's action cameras - a couple of which were shown off this week for the first time - but also made clear the time and platform for his next Tony Hawk skateboarding game. He couldn't give too many details "I'm under embargo," he said, "but I can tell you that it has T H in the title."

Tony Hawk hasn't released a proper PlayStation-centric video game in many years. He started back with the PlayStation 1 for Tony Hawk Pro Skater and brought more than 10 games over the next couple of decades. Now it's time for the next generation.

Tony Hawk's next game will start with "Tony Hawk" and will likely include "skater" or "skating" in its title. Being a PlayStation 4 exclusive (or perhaps temporary exclusive), we'll get the original big-time original best skateboarding experience in as high-definition a set of visuals as we've ever seen.

Loved the first few games in the series and think I even enjoyed the 7th or 8th (can't remember which but I know it was on the 360). Hoping this game is like those ones.

As long as it is a proper entry into the series that I can play with a controller I will be more than happy to give it a shot. Especially with EA seeming to have abandoned the SKATE series. But then again SSX had a long hiatus too so maybe it will return one day.

I'd rather have Skate 4. The Tony Hawk games jumped the shark with Project 8.

I want the same gameplay as THPS, like the HD re-release.

If you give me gameplay with the jackass crew, I'm out.

Combine Skate and THPS and I'll be very happy.

The 360/PS3 re-release was such a disappointment and performed poorly.

Hopefully this game will fix that.

I'd love an SSX on the PS4! I really like the one on PS3!

PS4 SSX! How awesome would that be?

[Mavrick]

I'm not sure ssx would compare to the ps2 classics, the last one in ps3 wasn't a scratch on the originals

Most anticipated Game of the year

I'm buying special edition and season pass and everything

[Joeker]

Day 1 buy!

I remember skipping school and pulling all nighters with my buddy to play this game on the PSX, even though there were no trophies back then we played the hell out of it and unlocked every last little bit in that game.

It was an amazing game up until 3 then slowly started to go down hill.

If this sticks to the original simplistic game that they released way back when then they could be on to something. But throwing in new mechanics like projectiles seems pointless.

At this stage I'd be more excited for a new SKATE.

[Edword]

Excited for this! Only downside is the cross-gen news.

Still remember playing the PS1 demo of Tony Hawk Pro Skater and the amount I spent with the demo play, resulted in a day one buy of the full game.

Demos help sell games, so hopefully they do that again.

Demo games for new major titles are rare these days it seems.

I loved the Underground create a park mode. I created rollercoasters, mazes, etc.

Tony Hawk is returning to the video game skateboard scene later this year with Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 5--the first original Pro Skater game since 2002's THPS4.

Developed by Robomodo, the studio responsible for Tony Hawk Ride, Shred, and Pro Skater HD, the game takes the style the Tony Hawk franchise was initially known for--hence the return to the Pro Skater name--and introduces some new wrinkles. These include power-ups and at least one mission-specific ability that allows you to shoot some kind of projectile.

You'll be able to play through those missions either on your own or online, both competitively and cooperatively. Your character and progress can be moved back and forth between the online and offline portions of the game, with Game Informer describing the transition as "seamless." Players will also be able to design skate parks that can be shared online.

Skaters from past games will return alongside newer members of the scene:

Hawk, Nyjah Huston, Aaron Homoki, Ishod Wair, Riley Hawk (Tony Hawk's son), Lizzie Armanto, Chris Cole, David Gonzalez, Leticia Bufoni, and Andrew Reynolds are all confirmed to be included.

Pro Skater 5 will be released on PS4 before the end of the year.

Those graphics look terrible. Bring on the next EA Skate game!

New Tony Hawk game appears to be incoming, fingers crossed it's not a mobile game.
