Tony Hawk’s Downhill Jam: In-Game Chat
The other day, Vicarious Vision sent out an email to the Sk8land community about their upcoming game, Tony Hawk’s Downhill Jam. What’s in it? News on something a lot of DS gamers have been clamoring more of. Read on, friends…
The Tony Hawk franchise is known for its fresh, gravity-defying games, but this time they’ll be doing something of a first for the Nintendo DS: In-game voice chat. Imagine you can spend the whole afternoon either shouting props to your friends for getting the Backslide Lipslide or the Ollie Fakie or smack talk on how they missed the Frontside 180 Powerslide or the Nollie Frontside Pop-shove-it. No official news yet on how this will be implemented, although some rumors are saying that friend codes may be required for chatting. So what else will you be expecting come October 25?
Besides the feature mentioned, there’s more to this game than you can shake a stick at. The game will have 50 graffiti and skate decks courtesy of Sk8land’s best artists, an option to create custom clothing & skate decks, and global score rankings. Looks like the game may be starting something new on the DS. Let’s see whether this will take the game downhill or uphill.
