@nessisonett Which is why T.H.U.G. is my favourite. It was the first of the series which actually gave a breath of fresh air into your game, there was an actual (even if slight) character development. I definitely wouldn't mind seeing something punky / gritty in the future, but I wouldn't hold my breath. Of course, all these are just my opinions. I hope they remake T.H.U.G. in the future, though.

Is it so bad to replicate a simplistic control schematic such as the one in Tony Hawk's franchise? Game developers need to understand that gaming pleasure nowadays mostly derives from thought-provoking and profound storytelling, not the application of a quasi-realistic control pattern. For shame.
