So, still saving up for THPS2 eh? Good on you! With the last game a hit who couldn't wait for the second to be developed and come out in November (I hope). The last game just stayed inside my playstation lid for 4 months before i cleaned the lens and brushed the dust off the top and the next one will replace it for sure! The demo revealed many great features like the create a skateboard park and skater ( not available ) which made me see that this is the next game for me! It isn't just the game that makes it kick all the other games butts, it's the music too, not to mention the Videos and graphics. It will be interesting to see what music and vids they include in THPS2? A feature i have thought about for THPS3 would be a create your own Graphitti then put in on the ramps or walls, or create a board, and don't get videos or lightbulbs as prizes, get cash then get a new board, trucks, wheels and pads etc This money idea came from a game called Skitchen for the Sega, long gone. I would like to hear other views for features...
These are my 10 ideas for Tony Hawks Pro Skater 3.
1. I wouldn't have video tapes as a prize for completing the level or task, I would have money insted so you could buy extra parts and replacments for the board like trucks and wheels.
2. I would have a shop too spend them so you can buy wheels like Speed Demons and Trucks and different makes of decks's and stickers to go on them.
3. I would have a mode where you can actually see other skaters skating when you skate by plotting their course on the level.
4. I would have a 'Create a Graff' Mode where you could make your own Graff then stick it on a ramp or wall.
5. I would have a health option so you could see your characters health, so when you bail the damage comes up on a body map showing where he's injured.
6. When the other skaters are skating, you should be able to knock them off by elbowing,kicking and taunting them for fun.
7. You should be able to 'Create your own Tricks' by combining moves on a special screen and then telling the CPU what button's represent that move.
8. You should have an Ollie meter, so when you hold the Ollie button (X) the meter fills up bit by bit, so you know how high your going to ollie.
9. On skating programs I watch, you see them on a half pipe doing a grind on the rail at the top of the pipe and coming off it and down the ramp. On THPS, you couldn't do that in a smooth motion, the body sort of jolted 90 Deg in about 0.001 seconds!
10. I would have a Mode where you compete in all different kinds of competitions, like the Street Skate course, Half pipe and the 'Bowl' which i think would make the game better. Also you should be able to grind round the corners of the bowl and come down smoothly like in real life.
