Ahahahaha

Oh wait, that's footage from current gen and not a mobile game...

BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Not gonna lie...those arent impressive graphics, BUT...I never played Tony Hawk for its graphics.

Nail the gameplay and ill be thur

If it captures the core gameplay and maintains 60fps I don't care if it looks like it's running on an older console.

It basically looks like the same god awful physics from THPSHD

Yeah, wasnt a fan of the magnetic skateboards and the game pretty much holding your hand. With any luck they learned from that mistake. Fun can be a challenge too.

I dunno, I played Skate for more realistic skating. Tony Hawk to me was all about the over the top and if they can nail that game play again I am all in. I think it has been long enough since the last non gimmick core entry that it won't be stale anymore.

Yes, but it is Robomodo, the guys who made Shred, Ride and HD. I can forgive the gimmick ones, but HD wasn't even serviceable. I got it for £7, made it to School and then just thought it would be better to dig out my Dreamcast because the fucked up the feel of the entire game.

Why are amiibo sold on Nintendo's UK site but not the US site?

So re-registered for the Live Beta program to get backward compatibility, and it appears while I can play Mass Effect...no, not really because the DLC linked to my saves isnt downloadable on the One.

Lame.

Thought the only way for the preview program was to get an invite from MS or a friend?

If you are in early access, could you send me an invite to it? Let me know what you need.

I think performance on ME sucks as well unless they improved it. Other games work great though.

OR YOU HASNEY!

DAMMIT!

I don't even have an XBox yet.

DAMMIT HASNEY (HARDISON)!!!!!!!

ill send you an invite. Whats your GT again? Wait, I think I have you on my friends list...maybe not, i dnno.

JESUS GOD

Hope the Prototype bundle sells. Would really like a third one on next gen.

I have you on mine for sure, just missed you by 4 mins - ill send a msg.

I have you, Kalyx, Fignuts and someone else who is overseas... can't remember who exactly. The Destroyer mebbe?

K I sent it, but it may take a few days...just keep an eye on your messages, youll get something eventually.

WOOOO!

Thanks :D

No problem, though be warned...unless something has changed, one of the bigger reasons I opted OUT of the program was the update every couple of weeks. Not really up frequency of the updates, but the fact that the One boots you out of whatever youre doing unceremoniously when one comes around.

Kinda thought it would be like that. I was a part of the 360 preview program or whatever, kinda surprised it didn't "carry over" or something. I have decent internet, so the updates shouldn't be too bad.

Thanks again :)

Dunno whether this goes here or not, but for any of you that enjoy trying mmo games, Skyforge open beta went live a couple hours ago.

Wouldn't have come anywhere close to breaking even if they just used the Kickstarter's funds or hadn't split the game into two parts.
http://www.destructoid.com/broken-ag...e-296148.phtml

Pretty much. The only one I really like is The Switcher because all they do is sit down, play the game, and talk about stuff. No gimmicky bullshit.

Lot of people on here can't stand them though.
