KEY FEATURES:
- Next Generation Gameplay Brings Skateboarding to Life: Tony Hawk’s Project
8 is built from the ground up with an entirely new engine for Sony and
Microsoft next-generation consoles and features the most advanced graphics
ever for a Tony Hawk game, including full 3D body scans of pro athletes and
motion captured skateboard tricks. Gamers have the freedom to progress through
the game in multiple ways and decide the type of pro skate they want to be.
- Most Unique, Robust and Realistic Skateboarding Game Experience Ever: Tony
Hawk’s Project 8 offers more goals, side-missions, secret areas and mini games
than any other Tony Hawk game. Players track stats with new in-game record
keeping, switch characters mid-game to accomplish a goal, or just skate how
they want to skate.
- Innovative, Never-Before-Seen Gameplay Elements: Featuring new gameplay
mechanics, Tony Hawk’s Project 8 challenges fans with the most goals ever in a
Tony Hawk game. Players interact with pro skaters who teach special tricks and
show paths to secret areas. New elements include:
- Filmer and Photo Goals – On the way to #1 pro-skater status, players
must trick through photo shoot locations, or follow a filmer with a video
camera and complete his instructions while keeping up with him.
- “Picture-in-a-Picture” – Player can watch gameplay unfold on the main
screen while observing the action on film in a superimposed video box.
- “Movable Ramps and Rails throughout the city” – Place ramps and rails to
set up amazing lines and/or gain access to secret spots.
- “Impress the Locals” – For the first time ever, players must impress
in-game citizens and pedestrians to build up respect. The pedestrians watch
players perform tricks, laugh at brutal bails and punch players in the gut
for knocking into them.
- Enhanced Physics and Responsive Controls: The new physics system
introduces advanced grinds and bails that allow players to control falls and
minimize or maximize damage for fun with the innovative new ragdoll bail mode.
A greater sense of momentum and gravity is impossible to miss, and provides
the most realistic virtual skate experience ever.
