THP8 single and multiplayer modes on next-gen consoles
More quality than quantity, more depth on all sides (except on the storyline) rather than just updating the last release – this is what should describe Tony Hawk‘s Project 8 that’s coming out on the PS2, Xbox, PS3, Xbox 360, and PSP. Some of you have already seen a number of footages we’ve posted here and are already familiar with new features of the game such as the “Nail the Trick”. However, we dug for more juicy bits concerning the single player and multiplayer modes of the game and we found out something that you just might like. Read on.
As we know, THP8, being a multiplatform game, (and especially designed to fit the next-gen consoles’ graphics capabilities) have been subject to ridicule by some gamers who say it’s just a rehash of the old titles. Actually, Neversoft made it more like a melange of the classic Tony Hawk series and pitched in some new, more interesting stuff. In the PS3 single player mode, these are what you’ll find:
- 200 separate (new and classic) goals, ranking: Amateur, Pro, and Sick
- (Xbox 360) ambient goals: scattered trick lines that allow players to explore while completing a goal
- a full and more detailed stats report
- hidden “secret tapes” or discs that unlock live action videos
- controls revamp requiring more diverse tricks instead of repetitive ones (most notable in “Nail the Trick”)
In the multiplayer mode called “Walls”, check these out:
- other skaters that run on your trails scores you points and lengthens your trail
- (Xbox 360) multiplayer, online, and supports up to 8 players
- (PS3) two players, split-screen mode
If anything, THP8 running on next-gen consoles is going to be one kickass game by the time it gets launched. Our limited rundowns won’t suffice but for the meantime, we’ll keep you posted on the buzz when they come.
