I would love to see level designs like the original games, but with mechanics closer to Skate instead of THPS's original arcadey style controls. Even the good remake feels old because of the stiff animations and how you lock onto rails and such.
Though I mean having Tony Hawk attached to it doesn't actually mean anything to me. I just want a good, modern, skateboard game that translates what it's really like to do skateboard tricks into something I can perform with a controller really well and feels smooth as butter doing it.
I mean the main reason the series died was because it stopped being innovative in the concept of "skateboarding video game."
There's Session or SkaterXL. I know in Session each thumb stick controls each foot, and you can tweak the settings to be as arcadey or as realistic as you want.
The only real downside is the lack of extensive music playlist in the game.
Someone got on with Skate? I loved THPS but when I tried Skate it was dull and boring. Probably managed 10 mins then never played again.
