No new TMNT Video Game this year? - Page 2

*Zulithe* · 11-27-2015, 06:03 PM

Can we have a THPS 5 thread in this forum now that it has a TMNT stage (there is a sewer skating stage) plus skins for all four turtles?

While THPS5 has not been well received, let's be honest neither has a huge chunk of recent TMNT games... I think a lot of people would appreciate a TMNT skating game even if it's not a full TMNT skating game.

They have released some pretty massive patches for THPS and I wonder if it's improved enough to actually be worth recommending to TMNT fans? You can get this game for only $20 shipped for PS4 on bestbuy.com (if you have Gamer's Club Unlocked)

Here is more gameplay

Considering that TMNT and skating goes hand in hand, since Mikey is the skater type.

The only thing that would've made this better, If they were on rocket powered skateboards

i gave up on THPS some time ago.
last one i owned had Darth Maul as an unlockable character i think?

but it's pretty much just salt on the wound that we don't have a new TMNT console game, but they throw us this?

noperz!

same here I wish they would change it up and not always base it of the nick cartoons.

It's irritating because here we have a glimpse of what an IDW inspired game could look like and yet they're like, nope, you can't have it. Like myconius said it's like salt on a wound. Also add to that that the models look pretty decent. They're all shaped different, resemble Santolouco's style. Their facial features are even different not to mention they even have that comic book outline look. Someone obviously did the research and went through a lot of trouble to make these models look good and for what? This?!

I wish Activision would stop screwing around and put these models to real use. Give us a real IDW inspired videogame already. One that's actually good.

I feel like that outline is telling. If they wanted the TMNT in there, they could've simply used the OOTS models. Not only would they save time, but they'd have turtles that fit in more stylistically. These guys, with that straight out of a comic look, they've gotta have some other purpose... Why go out of your way to give them a different visual style than your other unlockables? Fingers crossed they're from an upcoming IDW game.

*myconius* · 11-28-2015, 11:51 PM

i'm still hoping they surprise us finally with an awesome TMNT console game.

but as awesome as the models in this THPS look i just can't see getting it.
it'd be too frustrating!!!

Plus i'd hate to see my favorite Ninja Turtle hit the crotch end of a failed rail grind!!!

You may have something there. I hope you're right because having an IDW inspired game would kick all kinds of ass. That is assuming the gameplay has more meat to it and is actually good.

IDW's SDCC panel teased some cross-media projects outside of the announced tabletop RPG, perhaps that's exactly what's to come. Would make sense given how quiet Activision's been re: the property. Could have something in the works... If it's at least as good as OOTS (or, ideally, significantly better, if not just bug-less) they'll be in the money.

Hmm and I thought that board game was the only thing IDW was doing to blow our minds. I can't wait to see what these cross media projects might be.

Yeah, I really liked OotS. It was a decent game despite some of the flaws. It's the closest thing we've gotten to a Batman Arkham style game. With that said, I hope they have some nice stuff in the works and that these models are an indication of that.

*myconius* · 11-29-2015, 11:42 PM

i just wish Oots was produced as a disc instead of dlc.
i just hate not having a physical copy!

even the watchmen dlc game (which wasn't nearly as good) got produced as a disc.

*Sabacooza* · 11-30-2015, 06:21 AM

Agreed. I also wish it was longer.
