Tony Hawk's Proving Ground Revealed
Posted: May 15, 2007 - 10:53 am by Matt
Activision today announced the latest installment of their long running Tony Hawk series. This year it seems as if Tony Hawk has something to prove as the series will finally face it's first real competitor with EA's new game SKATE.

Tony Hawk's Proving Ground features deeper customization than ever before, including a Video Editor with full-featured editing tools and visual effects for creating "epic skate videos," and a fully customizable online Skate Lounge where players can skate with friends in the ultimate pad. In addition, players will have the freedom to skate from single player to online seamlessly, as well as utilize new gameplay mechanics such as skateable terrain altering and building, and Bowl Carving, delivering the most empowered skating experience ever. Tony Hawk's Proving Ground also features even more Nail the Trick™ moves such as Nail the Grab and Nail the Manual intensifying the thrill of pulling off big tricks.

"Tony Hawk's Proving Ground drops players into the skateboarding world like never before," said Joel Jewett, president of Neversoft. "This is the largest, deepest and most compelling Tony Hawk game ever. You can skate the best lines, define your own style and produce your own videos. You can even take it further by tricking out your own Skate Lounge, where you can hang out and skate with others online. Proving Ground will throw you so deep into the lifestyle of skateboarding that you won't be able to get out. Hands down, it's the most exciting Tony Hawk title yet."

As much as it pains me to admit it, this series is getting old to me. Tony definitely has something to prove to me. The vague description really doesn't sell me on any new ideas other than creating your own videos, which is an idea EA's SKATE is pioneering. Regardless it is good to see some competition and hopefully this will only help push out better games.

Tony Hawk's Proving Ground is in development for the Xbox 360, PS3, Wii, PS2, and the Nintendo DS. Expect to see the game hit the shelfs later this year.
