AVFCDAN 1,354 Report post Posted September 30, 2015 Somehow this has been off my radar until the last week or so, got quite excited that I could pick this up by Friday as I loved the old games.From reading the initial reports on Neogaf it appears the game is totally broken and requires a day 1 update double the size of the game for it to even run properly. The graphics look terrible and the levels appear to have been designed with the own create-a-park editor included with the game.Despite all the terrible first impressions I might still pick this up, anyone else planning to?

villarule123 3,041 Report post Posted September 30, 2015 Saw some videos of this on YouTube yesterday and it looks like the most broken game I've ever seen. It's not just broken, it looks like a PS2 game. Supposedly the PS2 games are more fluid too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AVFCDAN 1,354 Report post Posted September 30, 2015 There's rumours that it started off as a mobile game but eventually became a full price premium game which wouldn't surprise me.All they had to do was charge 15-20 quid and release as a Live/PS Network download and most faults would have been forgiven I think. They have gotten the release model all wrong for this game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bradd92 113 Report post Posted September 30, 2015 Game is so broken it's unreal, the first patch for it is twice the size of the actual game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lapal_fan 10,409 Report post Posted September 30, 2015 I was a GOD at 1 and 2 I think 2 was one of their first games to have a proper online multiplayer too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stevo985 35,278 Report post Posted September 30, 2015 Ah!That makes more sense. Is this the game that they completely changed all the graphics because it looked absolutely shit? It was Tony Hawks 3 for me. Got it in a bundle when I got my PS2 and put hours and hours and hours into it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stevo985 35,278 Report post Posted September 30, 2015 Anytime I hear a song fro the soundtrack of THPS3 it plunges me into nostalgic daydreaming of playing that game. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
avfcDJ 10,159 Report post Posted September 30, 2015 Think 2 was my favourite, although 1 was also great. I was at college when 2 was out and loved getting home with friends and having a go on it - great fun! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AVFCDAN 1,354 Report post Posted September 30, 2015 The progression from adding a manual in 2 and then a revert in 3 along with improving graphics and bigger parks to skate in with more goals meant they just kept getting better. It probably helped that at 14-15 I was the right age to just spend all my time playing them but they were great games. I kind of want that again even if it is a broken mess.

PieFacE 8,699 Report post Posted September 30, 2015 (edited) I was watching the Giant Bomb video of this yesterday and it was quite funny. The game is truly shocking. No idea how they can charge £40-£50 for it. Edited September 30, 2015 by PieFacE Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stevo985 35,278 Report post Posted September 30, 2015 It's the culture of patching games.It seems to have become acceptable to release games that are genuinely unfinished because it can all be fixed with a patch later on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It really frustrates me too. I still haven't forgiven DICE for BF4. Edited September 30, 2015 by PieFacE Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AVFCDAN 1,354 Report post Posted September 30, 2015 All they need to do now is incorporate micro-transactions and it will be the worst received game in recent memory.Destructoid have done the first proper review and it seems to hint at why the game will be ok once they have finished patching it.

Stevo985 35,278 Report post Posted September 30, 2015 Just had a google. They didn't release any early copies for reviewers.That's normally a sure fire sign that the game is shite. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
