Skate. vs Tony Hawk - Video Comparisons Don’t Do It, But Here are 2 New Vids Anyways
Lets take a second to briefly see what each title offers, both games feature video capture to create and edit your own skate videos, both games feature various real life skating and related companies, both games feature actual skaters, both games will.. etc etc etc, I think listing the similarities will take to long. So what is setting these games apart from each other… well, I can’t be sure until they release a demo (specifically Skate.) Tony Hawk is going to have the same tried and true method of control, with probably improvements on the “Nail the Trick” type controls as debuted in the previous title (Tony Hawk Project 8), where the game slows down and zooms in on your board and feet as you gain a little more control over what tricks you want to pull off.
As far as Skate, which I am eager to try out just for the sake of giving a new skating game a shot, will have controls that, from what I can tell, are definitely what is going to set the game apart from Tony Hawk. Right analog stick will be the board, left analog will be your body, triggers are your arms and the “X” and “A” buttons are your feet. It seems a little complicated, but then again, sometimes the games that require a learning curve end up being the best ones. I am a Tony Hawk fan since the first title, I may not have owned each one, but I *think* I have played every title at least one time (on all systems too, N64, PS1, PS2, Xbox one, even the cell phone versions). Both titles released videos in the past two days, lets take a look to see how little differences there are between the games, this even includes the storylines of being a new skater just trying to come up in the ranks. After viewing them both, I think we can all agree that the voice actors in the games are horrible.
