I think games like DJ Hero, and Tony Hawk Ride are showing us that Bobby Kotick's business model sucks. Building on existing ideas, and franchises usually results in more sales, but only for so long, then things just go downhill.

I generally wouldn't say tis but since it's activision i will, I hope the sails are awful. God knows why someone would pay 120 bucks for such an abysmal game.

This game was already a flop before it came out cause nobody is gonna pay $120 for it. I bet it will be one of the lowest selling games of the year.

Oh right of course. Were in agreement then. Activision suck and have zero talent as games developers. All they can do is milk.

Not surprising. The game looked awful! Even when Alex Navarro was previewing it, he didnt sound optimistic about the game.

Ladies and gentlemen, a preview of Natal's colossal flop next year. Motion controls fail.

They've managed to screw up quite a few of their franchises lately. Only a matter of time before COD ends up getting milked to the point where no one buys it anymore.

Just remembering the THPS PS1 games makes me think what the hell has happened to this once great franchise.

Hence the :P, based on how little they cared about the gaming industry, they might as well be publisher only

Time What made THPS so fun back then is ridiculously outdated today and the fact is nothing the series can do will make it fun. Skate is as close as it gets.

True. With a lot of old games I'm excited to play them but once I do it's a letdown. About 2 years ago I picked up Resident evil 1 and was so excited but then it was so clunky not how I remembered it back in '96.

Outside Modern Warfare 2, Activision are nothing.

Dahaka-UK

...which is more IW than activision. Other than pay the bills and advertise and take 95% of the profits, activision doesn't have any part in developing MW.

Please you don't know that. Activision has IW wrapped around their little finger.

No, activision is not a developer. I'm sure they have creative notes like not giving the PC version of MW2 dedicated servers, but IW is the one who makes the game, not activision. Activision just funds the project, advertises the game, and takes their cut of the profits (which is the industry average of 95% for publishers).

I demoed it at Best Buy and it was pretty bad. I think this is Activision having to many games in development for this year. I mean why do we need Guitar Hero 5, Band Hero and GH Van Halen all this christmas. Then dump this poorly made game on the public. Honestly did neversoft even work on this? Only upside would be if Skate 3 will be allowed to use the board in there game.
