Its a shame, looking back on thps 3-4 and underground 1-2, all these years and this is the best that was put out. Its a disgrace to the fans and to the franchise itself.
+luke lukey yea man, i was hoping it would have been pretty cool and better than THPSHD on ps3 but oh well. might get it if i can get it for super cheap. thps3 is still my top fav.
Teh Explicitz Those are all old school pros. Not celebrities with endorsements. Because of that, Wayne is considered a bonus playable character. It's like them throwing Batman in there bkuz he's a supper hero.
+Dion I saw that a while ago and I wish the best for the game/creators and of course it's still far away from being complete but it's still a huge step backwards in my standards (sorry). It's like back to Skate 1 all over again (which isn't necessarily bad), hopefully after it's release it will do great and inspire Skate 4 to be made by EA, because really... that's what we all want.
+Maka91Productions Yea. Why havent any of the other reviews mentioned this? This game has the same amount of trick features as THPS2. No skitching, no getting off your board., etc
I was Functionnal QA on this game... it's been enough time for me to say screw my NDA The Dev team working on this, Robomodo, was the smallest THPS team that ever worked on a THPS game. They got pressured and rushed to no limit to get the game out... we even had to send one member of our QA team over there because they were so short on staff. Working on this game was weird, because so few bugs were fixed by the dev team that we had to look out for bugs that they might have accidentally fixed... At the time of release, there were some 6 months old bugs that were still not fixed... I actually gave up on that game and became a zombie tester when I found out which build they would put on the disks... And that the day-one patch was actually bigger than the size of the file on the disk. That, my friends, is why I don't like activision anymore.
Well, after realizing that the developers who did it, also did THPS HD which was a mess, I get that, I'll pass this one around. Thanks, Maka! BTW you're awesome at skating games.
fortunately UK/EU release is tomorrow, game is retailing at £39.99 which is about $65-$70. I have just cancelled my order, being a fan since the very first TH game it was very hard decision to make. But after your review I'm quite confident i just saved £40 to spend on something better. :(
I wish Tony actually sat down and played this to see how bad it sucked, because he seems like a chill dude, and possibly would not allow his name to be on it. :/
It is a setback from pro skater 4 but it's NOT trash. Tony Hawk's sons on here.. You got Tyler AND the Ninja Turtles. The missions are weak but at least they still have the combo and high score challenge plus free skate was always what I spent the most of my time doing anyway. You can still string together million+ combos. People are ungrateful
I really feel like reviews are being harsh to this game. Sure, it's not a great game. Sure, it's got its issues. But it's miles ahead of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater HD, and that game got scores 3 times higher than what THPS5 seems to be getting. Why did THPSHD get off the hook but this game gets bashed left and right? I am a huge fan of the early THPS games; I still play THPS1 and 2 on Dreamcast to this day. I liked the later TH games, but they weren't as good. I was really excited that this game was going back to its roots to be more of a Pro Skater game, and not an Underground/American Wasteland/Project 8/Proving Ground sequel. However, the tradeoff is that many of the features those later games added will be missing, and I think that's something a lot of players are criticizing. I will also say that I feel like the Xbox One version of this game is poor. I'm not bashing the Xbox One console at all - I've had one since launch and love it - but I've been watching many Let's Plays and reviews of THPS5 on RUclips, and it seems the Xbox One version of this game has more issues. Again, yes, the game itself is flawed, but I'm not having those texture loading issues nearly as bad as this video portrays. My PS4 version does have texture pop-in, yes, which I guess is a product of the Unreal Engine, but the textures are only blurry for a second or two. However, other reviews for the Xbox One version seem to experience the same issues shown in this video; there was a video where the guy was showing the skater selection screen and it took a very long time (maybe longer than shown in this video) to load the shirt icon textures. Also, other Xbox One reviews have mentioned game crashes; one video it crashed as he was actually playing/filming so we got to see him go to the Dashboard and close/relaunch the game. I've been playing the PS4 version for maybe 10+ hours yesterday and today and have not had a single crash. I really think that even with this game's flaws, anyone who really loved the early THPS games will like this game. I'm having a blast with it, and unfortunately I seem to be one of the few. But I would absolutely recommend people either wait for a price drop or just rent it; worth a play, but probably not worth your $60.
I new this game would be bad from the start, Robomodo being the development team mainly, but damn that's worse than i thought. I wasn't gona get the game anyway but for some reason i still feel disappointed, its like the younger me is crying inside seeing what has happened to its most beloved franchise.I can only feel for the fathers of Tony Hawks games (Former employees of Neversoft) seeing their baby be destroyed like this. Shame on you Robomodo, Shame on you Activision.
i bought this game about 20 days ago, i was sooooo pumped and when i played it for about 10 mins i took out the disc and never played it again. such a bad game that for the first time in my life i actually would rather not play at all than play thps5. i shouldve watched this video before buying it. i was hoping for it to be something like skate. but seriously even skate 1 is a better game and has better graphics. absolute bullshit
all of the missions seem very repetitive. In the original games there were some missions which were repeated like get the sick score, find the secret tape etc... but then there were some hilarious, challenging and unique tasks to each map. Like knocking the head off a statue or grinding a certain rail to unlock secret areas. The old games were made by people with a sense of humour, hence the star wars boy easter egg. This game is made purely to fleece unsuspecting fans from £50. I can see this game having very little replay value. Im not buying it, already seen enough to be disappointed. I think I will just dig out my ps1 instead.
Maka I wish this game was workable I'm disappointed I was nature fusion in your stream yesterday btw Im an elitist of tony hawk and the only difficult thing is where you shoot shit rip tony hawk
Robomodo is too small a company for this big a game. If it had a bigger company developing it it would have been great (Plus, the game is like a tech demo in the Unreal Engine)
the graphics aren't that bad it's great ps2 or ps3 which I still say is pretty damn good for what you're getting here yeah this is nothing like the love of Crysis 3 it f****** old trumpet do we really care this much better graphics over the god damn game play
Holy shit! I had very low expectations for this game, (even though I wanted it to be good) but Jesus, this is worse than I ever imagined! Everything looks like it was made by an amateur. The HUD and text popups look like something out of a free mobile game. Even the gameplay looks terrible, the old TH games looks much more fluet than this crap. What a way to ruin the series, hopefully Skate 4 will be realeased and actually be good.
i waited a very long time for this game and was very disappointed i loved the older tony hawk games because neversoft were involved now thats not the case and robomodo have killed this series stone dead
Great review you played the game to give it a review unlike ign and mashit-ama who give bad games good reviews for money when tge one of a million random lottery workers who barely played the game they review great work you even give arguements to review that counter argue anybody that says but what about create a park or some shit
Its a shame, looking back on thps 3-4 and underground 1-2, all these years and this is the best that was put out.
Its a disgrace to the fans and to the franchise itself.
So so true
+luke lukey yea man, i was hoping it would have been pretty cool and better than THPSHD on ps3 but oh well. might get it if i can get it for super cheap. thps3 is still my top fav.
But Maka, is it worth it for Lil' Wayne? No, no it's not.
lil Wayne is a demon, if demons were real.
+Maka91Productions a funny review of a sad game :-)
+Maka91Productions they have lil Wayne but not chad muska, Rodney mullen, ryan shek etc -________-
Teh Explicitz Those are all old school pros. Not celebrities with endorsements. Because of that, Wayne is considered a bonus playable character. It's like them throwing Batman in there bkuz he's a supper hero.
RayRae 559 Iron Man was in THUG tho
Where's my Skate 4 damnit
I want EA Skate 4!
Check out Project Session. It's a game in progress and its inspired by skate.
+Dion I saw that a while ago and I wish the best for the game/creators and of course it's still far away from being complete but it's still a huge step backwards in my standards (sorry). It's like back to Skate 1 all over again (which isn't necessarily bad), hopefully after it's release it will do great and inspire Skate 4 to be made by EA, because really... that's what we all want.
For some reason, a lot of videos have very smooth gameplay while others are quite glitchy.
fhhh I meant the physics. Some gameplay videos show very good physics while others look messed up. It's weird.
Lmfao! "But maka" Hahahahaha
Holy cow! I didn't know there was a THPS 5! I can still remember playing the 3,4, and THUG 1 and 2!
17 copyright strikes hahaha
great video man thank you for not being annoying like some other youtubers I found
this was a great review lol
That voice doe. You should do it more often, my sides hurt.
Lol gotta love these rushed cash grabs.
;( no.
R.I.P Tony Hawk
+iPlayiOS Tony Hawkza vulcan liar!!!
+iPlayiOS why would tony hawk and all those skaters put their names on this garbage
+Righteous Kung Fu $$$
I remember my brother playing the originals and it was so fun to watch and play, the levels creeped me out lol
Most of the tricks are gone. No double taps to do double/triple flips or shuv its. No flatground. Etc.
+Drew V You also can't change grinds while already on the rail which was a feature in many of the old games. :( That was one of my favourite features.
+Maka91Productions Yea. Why havent any of the other reviews mentioned this? This game has the same amount of trick features as THPS2. No skitching, no getting off your board., etc
+Drew V To be fair, this is THPS, so of course you can't get off your board. It wasn't a thing in those games, so it wouldn't be a thing in a sequel.
+xxNDKx Someone hasn't played THUG
NDfor SPDadsdas I have, but as I said, this is THPS, not THUG.
I was Functionnal QA on this game... it's been enough time for me to say screw my NDA

And that the day-one patch was actually bigger than the size of the file on the disk. That, my friends, is why I don't like activision anymore.
But maka, won't it be better with patches? So get it in a few months?
Well, after realizing that the developers who did it, also did THPS HD which was a mess, I get that, I'll pass this one around. Thanks, Maka!
BTW you're awesome at skating games.
That's a damn shame.
Indeed -_-

I smell a last minute cash grab from Activision
I Would Love To Reccomend This To Everybody
RIP Neversoft :(
PS2 Tony Hawk games were the GOAT. Not sure I'll be picking this one up anytime soon.
One thing you forgot to bring up is all the things they dropped from previous tony Hawks like the ability to get off your board and walk around.
+Rally Monster That was never in the Pro Skater series. This is a Pro Skater game, not a sequel to the other Tony Hawk titles.
Unlike skate 3 and 2
And others that's the only 2 I played
+fhhh They implemented it poorly, but it was a neat feature if you didn't abuse it.
All these levels look super tiny and basically just look like they were made in create-a-park by the designers
What else can you expect from the modern Activsion :\
i wallet hurts so badly, i love my truth with thps games forever now
I still have hope that maybe one day EA will make like a skate 4 or something of that franchise cuz let's get real skate 3 was awesome
I unlocked all of the maps in less than 2 days
Cool special powerups? Take my money!
What songs do you like/which ones are flat-out awful? Please name and shame!
even with all the stuff they took out, I still enjoy the crap out of it.
can they patch this shit ?
+Spirits Yes. But will they?
+Spirits put a patch over the case so you never open it.
It is a setback from pro skater 4 but it's NOT trash. Tony Hawk's sons on here.. You got Tyler AND the Ninja Turtles.

This game is fun. Comparing to older Tony hawks it's the same shit different world. Fans are so hard to please.
I wish someone would just re-recruit everyone from Neversoft and re-do the entire game...
shit looks like an internet flash game
I new this game would be bad from the start, Robomodo being the development team mainly, but damn that's worse than i thought. I wasn't gona get the game anyway but for some reason i still feel disappointed, its like the younger me is crying inside seeing what has happened to its most beloved franchise.I can only feel for the fathers of Tony Hawks games (Former employees of Neversoft) seeing their baby be destroyed like this. Shame on you Robomodo, Shame on you Activision.
Man, I guess I'll still be sticking to American Wasteland... or Project 8
The ps4 version (at least for me) works perfectly fine and doesn't crash at all
I Really wanted this im probably gonna get it for ps3 so it'll be cheaper or maybe not even get it at all
i bought this game about 20 days ago, i was sooooo pumped and when i played it for about 10 mins i took out the disc and never played it again. such a bad game that for the first time in my life i actually would rather not play at all than play thps5. i shouldve watched this video before buying it. i was hoping for it to be something like skate. but seriously even skate 1 is a better game and has better graphics. absolute bullshit

On PS4 the game was fine, no problems with frame rates either!
Maka I wish this game was workable I'm disappointed I was nature fusion in your stream yesterday btw Im an elitist of tony hawk and the only difficult thing is where you shoot shit rip tony hawk
Achievement unlocked: The Avoidance. (Do not buy THPS5.)
Robomodo is too small a company for this big a game. If it had a bigger company developing it it would have been great (Plus, the game is like a tech demo in the Unreal Engine)
the graphics aren't that bad it's great ps2 or ps3 which I still say is pretty damn good for what you're getting here yeah this is nothing like the love of Crysis 3 it f****** old trumpet do we really care this much better graphics over the god damn game play
Woah I Play This Game I Love It Never Drop Frame Rate In Multiplayer lol
American wasteland and thug 2 were the best
Holy shit! I had very low expectations for this game, (even though I wanted it to be good) but Jesus, this is worse than I ever imagined! Everything looks like it was made by an amateur. The HUD and text popups look like something out of a free mobile game. Even the gameplay looks terrible, the old TH games looks much more fluet than this crap. What a way to ruin the series, hopefully Skate 4 will be realeased and actually be good.
I don't think there will be a skate 4. We have Project Session to look forward to though
+Jessica Rios I hope
At least the Clueless Gamer video from Conan was fun, but not because of the game of course :D
this dosent surprise me, although it is very disappointing this is the best they can do. time to go play SKATE.......
Wow that's just sad kow the game turned out. But nonethless thanks for the review. I really thought about getting this, but now i'm 60 bucks richer.
SKATE 4
i waited a very long time for this game and was very disappointed i loved the older tony hawk games because neversoft were involved now thats not the case and robomodo have killed this series stone dead
Great review you played the game to give it a review unlike ign and mashit-ama who give bad games good reviews for money when tge one of a million random lottery workers who barely played the game they review great work you even give arguements to review that counter argue anybody that says but what about create a park or some shit
Xbox is the only console that I have seen that have all these issues. All my friends and me have never expereienced these glitches.
This developer is incompetent.
None of these issues are just you. I think it's pretty unanimous that this game is really bad. So disappointing.
i expected this game to be cool...saw this...never getting it
One of the worst games 2015 ?
what happened used to be a great franchise now its a lazy gross money grab tony has become gross with what hell promote nowadays such a shame
Feels like an iOS game
THPS5 Sucks.
Play THUGPRO Instead! :D
american wasteland is still the best
just play skate 3
and why am I not surprised its horrible ... its made by robomodo. such a bad developer with such an abysmal track record
What a shame :(
What the N64 is wrong with this graphics ?!!!! and by god this game looks shitty !
This is actually sad.. How did they fuck up this bad ?!
