Most Boring Trailer Ever! The game looks fine but nothing happens. Just skating. La la la. Nothing to see here.

seems like they are trying to show that they can do what skate is doing, but failing. looks exactly how past tony hawk games do when you try real hard to play them realistically. sometimes it looks good, most of the time it doesn't, because the games are just too damn arcadey to pull anything smooth off. not to mention you have to play them the over the top way to finish every damn goal. if they changed all that to compete with skate, a game that may end up sucking for all we know, then double uh-oh.

Hmmm, I liked Project 8 alot, it was the strongest of the series, this looks like it could be better if skating like they do in the trailer is encouraged. I like that stuff, its more realistic, being able to get good points (or eliminating points) for those really cool combos/stair lines/ massive ollies would be awesome

That shit looked fat! Beyond better looking than any other Tony Hawk game to date. The video was done excellent also. Was more inline with a skate video than a video game. Me likes the direction of the video.

Looks absolutely horrible. This series needs some time to cool off and reevaluate itself in my opinion. I hope this is very early media, because the animations looks terrible. Do the skaters even ollie at all? It just looks like they float up into the air magically. Thank god for Skate coming out soon.

These games are like Madden and other sports games that are released every year. They add one new feature, update the graphics a tad and slap a new label on it. I guess if it sells well who cares, but it doesn't really interest me.

how the hell does this look worse than the last one?

it looks like they were tryin to reproduce the trailer from that other (supposedly more realistic) skating game coming out soon, but it just looks fuckin bad. no matter what they do it always looks like the model is hovering 10mm above the ground, it looks less solid than previous renditions honestly.
