Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 Coming To iPhone?

People are getting all kinds of emulators to run on iPhone these days.

No thanks, I've got Touch Grind :)

You know, the game that was MADE for the Iphone...

Meh, it just looks uncomfortable as a game... and on that system.

Yeah, I'd rather play the original to be honest.

-- God Bless.

It looks awesome but yeah, controls are the issue. It almost makes me wish Apple would have predicted that iPhone would become a viable handheld games platform and, you know, added a couple of buttons to thing.

Whatever, this makes me want to go listen to some RATM or play me some THPS3

TH2 was the best tony hawk game.

Controls will suck.

Some simpler older games would be cool on iPhone, but I can't imagine something as complex as THPS2 controlling too well.

Looks like it would be pretty difficult to play on the iPhone. Looks like a quality port though.

jesus -- this looks insane! release date?

Hmm....Tony Hawk for the iPhone? I don't know if that will work. But, here I am, the person who just bought Myst for the IPhone even after complaining about its size and drawbacks.

I noticed a distinct lack of being able to manual.

That actually looks better than the Playstation version graphically. 

Please stop including Mad World in trailers.

Funny how Hawk has full stats for everything

So how'd you Manual then ?...

THPS2 is my favorite game of the series. But the controls look kinda shitty so i'm not sure if i am gonna get it.

If the controls work well (doubt it) then it would be one of the best iPhone games yet. If not, then I will bust out my Playstation and play a little. Game was awesome.

I don't know why people are trying to make games like this for the iPhone. These games need exact controls, IE, buttons, the touch screen just doesn't provide that.

Thats the best kind of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater.

Looks awesome. Takes me way back.

THPS2 was the best Tony Hawk game. Period. End of story. I originally got it for the N64 and played the shit out of it - even though the N64 cart had so little space that they could only put 30-second clips of 6 of the songs from the soundtrack in the game. (Might I also had - nominee for best soundtrack in a game ever?)

Which is why I "acquired" an ISO of it and play it on my M33-equipped PSP. That's the real way to play a portable version (it runs beautifully, with cleaned up graphics and everything).

time to dust off my original!

that's very cool

Awesome. 

I'll probably get it.  I love that game.

This song is annoying now.. it was great till everyone and their mother heard it on gears commercial and started using it on everything.. mind you i know this isn't the gary juelz version

Would much rather have Thrasher:Skate and Destroy on iPhone. Oh well, it still plays great on my PSP.

Also, the Dreamcast version of THPS2x was clearly the best version.

THPS2 is awesome, but on the iPhone?

One of my favorite things to do in THPS2 is flip on the Sim Mode cheat and go hit some lines in Skatestreet, something that requires more accurate control than the iPhone's accelerometer can provide. For much of that video, the guy looked less like he was in control of the action and more like he was simply reacting to wherever his skater was hurtling at the time - pressing grind if he was flying toward a rail, mashing grab/flip/grab whenever he found himself in the air, et cetera. And I swear, for the first six minutes of the video, the only grab I saw him do was an Indy Nosebone...

It's certainly impressive from a technical standpoint, but with the loose controls it just doesn't look like something I could have fun with. If Activision wants to milk THPS2 for more cash (not that they don't deserve to), I'd love to see them throw it up on the PSN as a PSone Classic for those of us with legal PSPs - I'd grab that in a heartbeat.

I played this so much on the PC back when it came out. It was so much fun, and a great game.

Though I don't think it would have that same feeling being on the IPhone now. If I really want to play it, i'll play it again on the PC where i've got better controls.

I forgot how good the soundtrack was to that game.

game looks hard as hell to control.....not even the guy in the video can pull of the tricks well.

Sure, why not?

Looks really hard to control.

Man, I do want to fire up my PS2, backwards compatibility FTW

I would play this on my iPhone. If you play it long enough I'm sure you can get the controls down.

I'm just curious what the pricing would be on this.

THPS 2 is still the best skateboarding game ever released. Not so sure I would play it on an iPhone though.

LOL they have to emphasize that it's on the iPhone by zooming out every 10 seconds showing the dude playing.

Iphone is great and all but I heard the battery dies easily.

Controls = 99 Problems and a bitch is one.

blah that song....still don't have an iphone, and why should I , they'll just keep on releasing a better version every year or 2

The controls just aren't gonna work. for me.

Played THPS2 back in the day like crazy on my old Quicksilver G4

The Tony Hawk series has seriously been on more consoles than just about any game series ever made. I can't say I'm too surprised.

Playstation? The Dreamcast version is where it's at, Jeff.

Dude that is OBVIOUSLY fake. I mean really! Check 0:54, he's running the video player and pretending that it's actual footage. And NO, it's not because the game is so well integrated with the iPhone interface, Why else would he skip the video if there's like 1 sec remaining? Because if he didn't, It will kick him back to the video selection menu.

 He edited some video of the game and overlayed it with some buttons on screen, poorly I might add. And there are obvious cuts in the video where he might've accidentally touched the screen and triggered the video player's controls.

I think the last Tony Hawk's game I played was Pro Skater 3.  I used to love those games back then.
