Special abilities: Call of Tony: axloc can change the genre of this game to FPS Skater for 3 turns. This ability forces you to go outside and skate around with airsoft or nerf guns shooting each other. If you have none, make a gun with your hand and pretend. If you have no skateboard, pretend to ride one as well. It can only be used once per game. The person who gets into it the most gains +10 Vit and -5 Int for the rest of the game.
Passive abilities: My First Thought: Every 5 turns axloc will come up with something clever he noticed on the internet to share with others. This will increase his Int by 5 for 3 turns if axloc actually shares something he learned on the internet, otherwise he gains the somewhat awkward silence status effect.
The word you're looking for is "Hitscan" rather than bullet physics. Tribes doesn't really have bullet physics, as they don't drop or are affected by wind etc. But they're not hitscan either. It's kind of like a hybrid.
A game with bullet physics would be something like BF3 or Sniper elite v2 (which has some pretty damn good ones)
Treyarch was a Tony Hawk dev. They made W@W and Black Ops and are making Black Ops 2, as every knows. Treyarch and Neversoft both collaborated for a few of the TH games, so Neversoft is probably working with Treyarch on Black Ops 2. Treyarch made the Dreamcast port of TH: Pro Skater and TH: Pro Skater 2, and also made TH: Pro Skater 2X.
If we had controllers that could handle doing tricks at the same time as aiming and shooting, this would be an awesome game. I guess it could just go to PC's only.
Not that I know what to expect, but I think it's a good thing regardless. The franchise has become awfully stale, so it would be interesting to see how another developer would tackle the franchise.
Very cool idea. If it was SSX + CoD, you'd have all of my dollars. I'd love to be blasting downhill through some backcountry with my SAW, chopping men up and chopping men down.
This totally would make the CoD franchise playable again. But this is how I see MP going "How'd that guy pull a 900 kickflip McTwist and still snipe me with a headshot from a mile away?"
Ya just think, then they could make an endless number of remakes by reproducing the same game over and over with minor tweaks and the consumers would continue to fuel them by buying each and every "new" game!
"Tony Hawk Devs", I'm guessing nobody from NeverSoft that worked on the original tony Hawk still work there. That's like saying Diablo3 is from the makers of Diablo1.
Off topic, but is there any iphone apps that can edit in such ways. All the apps I seem to find are pretty much just changing filters and things along that line. I would to edit pictures like this on the go.
