I haven't played skate yet since there is no PS3 demo yet but I thought THPG was much better than last year's TH game.

I'm getting Skate, for sure. TH hasn't been good since Tony Hawk 3. The demo wasn't anything special, to me. They really didn't update the graphics much, it's jaggy, ugly color pallette, gross character models... that series really needs to step it up, because this season Tony and all his buddies will be playing Skate instead.

Skate had a great IGN review, it looks really promising and pretty original. Some competition will do Tony good.

After playing the skate demo it was hard for me to not be totally disgusted witht the TH demo. That series hasn't improved at all in a very long time. I'm officially over TH.

Skate. I've played both Demo's, and when you play Tony Hawk's after playing Skate, it feels so boring and dull etc. And Skate is realistic, but somehow its still really fun!

I bought and beat Project 8...

It's just like all the other Tony Hawks...

SKATE is something I haven't played before and anything to put more money in Rob and Big's pocket, I will do...

Tony Hawk has enough money and has been retired for years,let the small guys have their moment in the sun for once...

Tony Hawk is an outdated franchise even though I have my doubts about EA Sports developing SKATE, It's got great reviews, so I'm not worried, I'm picking up next week with Stranglehold...

Wow, who do you think you are, the boss? Why the hell would u care if people like graphics and want them good in their games, and u want them to die a slow painful death because? Just cuz people don't like EA dosn't make them a tool just cuz u do. You laugh at us? We are the poor people. You spend ur time putting people down on the internet to make youself feel good? U want us to die a slow painful death because we like graphics, wow, and we're the poor people? You have a serious superiority complex and you think what you believe in= fact you friendless loner.

in skate, landing a big combo is way more satisfying because its harder and realistic, then controls make sense to what your board is doing. and remember, this is like the 99999th game from TH and only the first from EA, so there may be a few kinks, but get in on the the series now and there is nothing but potential for the future

Skate. I'm not sure if it's because of the camera angles , but everything just feels right with Skate. Controls are tight and once you learn it, it's pretty smoothe to do tricks.
Music is great on Skate too.

I haven't played either yet, it seems like th is just adding functions, cuz they have a solid core that some people are tired of. Skate is fresh but doesn't seem to be as polished. Personally i would probably prefer skate, cuz i ended up finishing the stories in the other tony hawks and just like to skate around, which according to reviews skate is built for that kinda experience.

SKATE all the way....tony hawks has jsut been a BIG disappointmenet like american wasteland, project 8 and now this proving ground....there isnt a good story either....i played the demo and for me its not fun putting objects and doing all this tricks that are told...why cant they make a story like thug 1......best story and levels.......and when neversoft put tony hawks only on ps3/360/wii then i will think about it, but putting it on every console just downs the game....skate is the smartest

Ive got Demos for THPG and Skate on both my 360 and PS3..I like skate MUCH! better..Tony Hawk hasnt been good since THPS4

I like the whole system with skate with the flick-it controls.

The graphics look the same for both consoles also..which is good since its multiplat. :)

man skate! over anything, skate is real and it feels real, for people who skate and live skating in real life, THKPG doesnt offer the realism that skate does, i mean smashing buttons to get a fake combo...those times are over, skate puts the real feeling on skating games, i had give up in skateboarding games, but since i played skate....im back!!! sorry THKPG u r just not good enough... same O' same O'

the second i finished the skate demo today (omg i can't beleive how much i love that game now) i went and deleted that horrible Tony Hawk Proving Ground demo, TH games have sucked since THug1, i love the THPS series, not the abominations that were THUG1, THUG2, THAW, THP8, THDJ, and THPG.

i downloaded Proving Ground and i didn't like it, to be honest i didn't enjoy playing Project 8 either. i was thinking of buying Proving Ground but i think i'll pass. Skate looks like a good game, i think the whole control thing is kinda interesting, hopefully there will be a demo in the PS Store

which would you prefer? koopa666

After just playing the stake demo...

Skate brings a new level of control and weilding of tricks to the genre. TH is more button mashing/arcade style.

Skate is like uhm... you need to use finesse. Like when doing Ryu's shoyruken in Street fighter. Know what I mean? There are "moves" to do that aren't just button combos.. its really new, and I love it. I just sat and free skated for a while... so many combinations with 1 stick being your bodies orientation, and the other you feet.

Try both, tell me what you think1!

If I wanted my skating games to be harder and more realistic, I'd rather go out and learn how to skate in real life. I just tried the Skate demo and wasn't impressed at all. On the other hand, I fell in love with Tony Hawk (back in THPS2) after the first couple of minutes of playing the PC demo. In fact, one of the main reasons I bought a PS2 was because I enjoyed the THPS style of play.

Having just played both demos and having owned every THPS game since the PS debut I'm sad to say but I think Tony has run his course, nothing overly new and a tagged on balance system.

SKATE all the way!!

Having played both demos (TH and skate.), i dont think i will ever even so much as look at another Tony Hawk. I mean, dont get me wrong TH is not a bad game, but...skate is something NEW. Which TH has hardly changed in the past few titles.

For me, TH has run its course.

I am in the few that really enjoyed, Project 8.. in fact my buddy having that game is what prompted me to get a PS3. I had never got into a Tony Hawk game before, I was obsessed with finishing it, and could not stop playing it. When the Proving Ground Demo came out, I really loved the new Nail the Trick grab options, and the agro-speed deal... and was super excited that there was online capabilities.

ThenI downloaded Skate, and realized what a skateboarding game should be like.

i thought the skate demo is very so-so.

graphics were not all impressive, and i noticed a drop in framerate too.

game was a little boring, however... it IS a skateboarding game :)
