Ashley Posted May 8, 2006 Share Posted May 8, 2006 Tony and co are heading downhill in a race this time, so expect something a bit different from this game that will get a showing during E3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DiemetriX Posted May 8, 2006 Share Posted May 8, 2006 Why didn't they use the engine from THS4 or THUG ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Towers Posted May 8, 2006 Share Posted May 8, 2006 You think it looks rushed I think it looks early. Everyone seems to be shitting on this game but I actually really like the idea of this game better than the other Tony Hawk games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiemetriX Posted May 8, 2006 Share Posted May 8, 2006 Why didn't they use the engine from THS4 or THUG ? You dont' even know that silly man? That's because it's Toysforbob and not Actiovsion that makes THDJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

demonmike04 Posted May 8, 2006 Share Posted May 8, 2006 MPH first hunt was actually pretty decent in graphics Dyson, but it has improved quite alot i must admit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djamb3 Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 joystiq.... Unlike previous Tony Hawk titles, Downhill Jam is a standard racing game -- there is no free-roaming, as far as we can tell from the demo and press releases. In fact, it does not feel like Tony Hawk at all -- more so, the game feels derivative of the skateboarding games found in local arcades a few years back. The Wii remote is held horizontally like a NES controller, and the button layout is smart -- the 1 and 2 buttons for jumping and grinding, the D-pad for tricks. The problems begin with steering, which is accomplished by rocking the controller right and left. A slight move does very little, but move it just a little more and the turning becomes chaotic. The controls will no doubt be tweaked and improved upon before launch. Visually, Downhill Jam could hold its own with a second-generation Xbox One title. It's a pretty game, although not as impressive as other Nintendo first- and second-party titles. Load times, if there were any, were not noticeable. Ironically, by breaking from traditional Tony Hawk games, Downhill Jam became even more formulaic. It could be a fun racer, but we feel the title would have benefited from more elements associated with the Tony Hawk franchise. The tracks are moderately fun, with plenty of shortcuts, but the game gains nothing from being a Tony Hawk title. The comments from bozon-ign were a lot better...

McMad Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 Yes it DOES. First generation Gamecube titles look better than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James McGeachie Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 I like the city shot, you can see way into the distance and it looks like it could be fun to ride down through it. It looks like huge draw distance was the main focus with the visuals in this game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamba Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 Spiderman 2 beats this game graphically and it had a WHOLE city to swing across. I think most big name devs could come out with a game that looks better than that in 3 months. The textures are shoddy and some AA is seriously required in places. I just think of really interesting areas/tracks from MK: DD and games like JetSet Radio (DC, yeah baby!) and just think that this game seems to blow. I'm pretty annoyed too, cos I was quite interested in how this game would handle. Sacrificing a game's looks down to "mediocre/bad for this gen" for next-gen control is unacceptable. But hey, maybe we can pray that this will be a VC game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helmsly Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 The game seems to look closer to Tony hawk pro skater 3 (first TH game on the cube) Their almost the same graphically. Then again theres a good 4 months to go until its finished. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
