Tony Hawk's Proving Ground: First Details! (http://planettonyhawk.gamespy.com/View.php?view=Articles.Detail&id=54)
Tony Hawk's Proving Ground
The name is official. THPG is what we'll be calling our new Hawk game!
The June 2007 issue of GamePro magazine has the exclusive scoop on the newest Hawk title. Thanks to Tightosp, we have all the juicy details! Read on!
The Basics
The new Hawk game will be launching for the PS3 and Xbox360 some time this fall. Pretty much the same story we hear each spring! While there will be other games (PS2/Xbox/PSP/Wii/NDS/GBA/Wireless/PC - potentially, just to name a few), this article solely deals with the PS3 and 360.
All the details were from the issue of GamePro (http://planettonyhawk.gamespy.com/sympoll/index.php?dispid=6) and no images were used. Pick up a copy at newsstands, or wait for some official shots to come out. Just know, it looks good!
The locale in Tony Hawk's Proving Ground is a fictional one. This combines Baltimore, MD, Philadelphia, PA and Washington, D.C. to make one huge world. And by huge, the article suggests 50% bigger than the one found in Project 8. yeah. That's big!
Nail The...
A complaint in the years leading up THP8 was a level of stagnant creativity. Last year's title gave something very fresh and exciting to the series in the form of Nail-The-Trick (NTT) moves. The slow-motion trick festival here was flashy, interesting and functional. However, many wanted more, and it's no surprise that there are additions to the system this time. Rather than being limited to flip tricks, now Nail-The-Grab and Nail-The-Manual (NTG/NTM) exist as well! Apparently the controls are simple. After initiating a NTT, hold one of the left triggers to switch to NTG. NTM allows you to string all of this together. This could be very cool, as real-time kickflip-to-indy and varial heelflip liens may be performed. The possibilities are endless, as we saw in last year's game. Couple this with the new video options (more below) and we should see some slick movies.
Skate Classes
Since the early days, you could choose your type of skater. Street or Vert. While the discrepancy was nice, it really only offered you a different trickset. Now, we're looking at a full-fledged set of skaters, each functioning completely differently from the others. The three different skate classes are:
Career
Skaters
Tony Hawk, Ryan Sheckler, Arto Saari, Jereme Rogers
Features
Camera abilities. Set up different cameras to take footage. This apparently benefits you in the form of money and new sponsors. You can save your pics as well.
Upgrade Nail-The-Trick, Nail-The-Grab and Nail-The-Manual stats.
Hardcore
Skaters
Mike Vallely, Andrew Reynolds, Lance Mountain (!!!), Dustin Dollin
Features
Aggro Push, Pull, Kick. When losing speed, Aggro Pull to gain momentum whilst manualing. Aggro Push citizens that get in your way and Aggro Kick seems to be taken from Shaba's version of THP8 on the PS2/Xbox/PSP. These skaters can push to give them a little more speed.
Upgrade Boost Tricks, Skate Checks and Bowl Shredding. The latter is based on bowl skating, and here we look to what are likely Bert Slides as one of their exclusive features.
Rigger
Skaters
Daewon Song, Jeff King
Features
Ability to change the landscape by placing new items throughout the stage. This is like the small customization found in recent games, add a kicker here, a rail there, etc.
As these skaters progress, their ability to change the stage increases. They will have better walking/climbing abilities and eventually earn more pieces to modify the environment.
Video Editing
Mentioned above for career skaters, apparently you'll be able to take video footage at any time of the game. A full set of video editing tools are supposed to be incorporated, including vidual effects, audio options, cutting and merging. The videos seem to be limited to a minute and can be uploaded so that your friends can see your creations. It sounds like what you guys have been doing since THPS3!
Online
Continuing with their legacy of online play, the PS3 finally joins the fray. Playstation Home may be incorporated, as the online feature should be launched by then. Beyond this, expect the usual list of multiplayer games.
Videos can be uploaded and these affect your online leaderboards as well.
Additional Snippets
A small sidebar in the article tells of real-time weather playing a role in the game. It took 8 years, but we're going to get rain! Clouds, fog, puddles all should give the world another realistic kick in the butt. It's been a few years since THUG gave us time, now it's weather!
I love the quote on a "Living Ambient World". Sounds like the same thing we've heard for 5 years! However, it claims that there will be random events to make the world seem more real.
The balance bar has been tweaked. It's been revamped. It's, "so revolutionary, you'll wonder why it took nine years to implement." I had to quote that part. We'll see how this works. As long as I don't have to use the SixaxiS controller to balance, I'll be fine.
Finally, there are arcade machines around the stage where you can initiate some mini-games. High Score Run, Classic and Hawk Man are 3 of the available games.
Final Thoughts
Being that this is solely from an article, there's only so many creative liberties one can take when writing about it. The official name isn't even mentioned. However, I think many of us will agree that THP8 was the revolution the series needed. The flaws present were things that Neversoft went straight to, and it's quite possible that THPG will be the best of the bunch. As I write this, you guys have voted it to be your 2nd Favorite Hawk Title Ever! (http://planettonyhawk.gamespy.com/sympoll/index.php?dispid=6), just behind the legendary THPS2 (my vote).
The wait begins, but from the little we know, it's going to be awesome!
