 The word is "definitely" and not really odd, since Shaun is a tourney winning pro skater too and has invented tricks himself. However, this game looks awwwwwwful.

... alright seriously, whats with the randomly appearing "rails"? i assume this is probably meant to open up the environment and give the player more to do, but seriously this just looks like the character is just trippin' hard every time he steps on his skate.

He is more known as a snowboarder, but he is also a professional skateboarder, so its not really that odd. Plus they probably reused a bunch of assets from his other game, so it makes sense.
 
After Skate though, does the world really need another skateboarding franchise?

The only cool-ish part is the whole "controlling the rail" thing.

I often wonder how even more successful (in a business sense) Shaun White would've been if he didn't look like......Shaun White.

This whole grind/flow concept is actually really fucking annoying me.  If I wanted to play a game with hoverboards I get a game with hoverboards in it.  Not a fucking skateboarding game that could just stick to getting the basics awesome but instead puts in the dumbest fucking mechanic I have seen since Matyrdom in MW.
 
Seriously, this game can fuck off.

Is it me or is this just a tony hawk rip off? i mean it looks like it plays exactly the same, anyway i said it before and i'll say it again if this is the closest thing i'm gonna get to an old school tony hawk experience i'm buying, i'll wait for a review, i'm guessing jeff.

I think this looks like a pretty interesting take on the skateboarding series. THat grind anywhere feature looks neat.

I don't get why people are so negative about this game, it looks like something I've been waiting for for a while now, a return to crazy  skateboarding where you launch several meters into the air whenever you hit a half pipe. I could never get into the skate games because they removed the ridiculous shit that made the early tony hawk games fun.

My word this looks bad. 
 
I haven't really followed the development much, but wasn't their hook supposed to be environments you can mould on the fly? Please tell me that silly floating rail is what they mean?

I was moderately intrigued when the first footage came out, but it's looking like it's taking pages, if not chapters, from Tony Hawk's earlier incarnations.

You'll need it to stop the future government which takes away your right to skate with helicopters!

Reminds me of a whole host of early PS2 skateboard games that just didn't make the grade.
