Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 5
''Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 5'' is a 2015 skateboarding video game developed in collaboration between Robomodo and Disruptive Games, and published by Activision. The tenth main installment in the ''Tony Hawk's'' series, the game is the first new title in the main series since 2007's ''Proving Ground'' and the first ''Pro Skater'' since 2002's '' Pro Skater 4'', as the series had been put on hold following a lack of critical and commercial success with later games. As the licensing deal between Tony Hawk and Activision was set to expire by the end of 2015, the game was hastily developed within a few months and released unfinished, with most content contained in a large day-one patch. As a result, the game was panned heavily by critics upon release, with criticism centering on its graphics, bugs and glitches, controls, and lack of design, although slight praise fell toward the game's soundtrack. It became Robomodo's final game, as the company went out of business in August 2016. ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Robomodo
Robomodo was an American independent video game developer based in Chicago, Illinois. Robomodo was formed in early 2008 by former employees of Midway Games and EA Chicago. They are best known for being the developer of several post-Neversoft games in the Tony Hawk franchise from '' Tony Hawk: Ride'' (2009) to ''Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 5'' (2015), most of which were met with varying degrees of negative reception from critics and fans alike. Nearly a year after ''Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 5'' was released, Robomodo went out of business. Game history On November 28, 2011, the company launched a project on Kickstarter to produce a game called ''Bodoink'', a pinball-inspired game using the Kinect for Xbox Live Arcade. The game was being developed by its subsidiary Robomite, which focused on family-friendly games, and had a funding goal of $35,000.

Grind (skateboarding)
In skateboarding, grinds are tricks that involve the skateboarder sliding along a surface, making contact with the trucks of the skateboard. Grinds can be performed on any object narrow enough to fit between wheels and are performed on curbs, rails, the coping of a skate ramp, funboxes, ledges, and a variety of other surfaces. History The move likely originated in backyard pools in the early '70s , as the early skaters gained in skill and confidence with their high speed carves around the top of the pool walls and one day went that ''little bit'' too high . The trucks of the time, often being merely 'borrowed' rollerskate trucks , didn't allow much contact due to their narrowness, but as skateboarding gained its own truck manufacturers who widened the hanger design, the possibilities for exploration became apparent, and all sorts of moves started popping up . There was a big leap in street skating starting in the '90s . It has evolved ever since. Today, grinds are commonly pe ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Flip Trick
A flip trick is a type of skateboarding trick in which the skateboard rotates around its vertical axis, or its vertical axis and its horizontal axis simultaneously. The first flip trick, called a kickflip but originally known as a "magic flip", was invented by professional skateboarder Rodney Mullen. General terms The following is a list of general skateboarding terms that will assist novice readers to better understand the descriptions of flip tricks contained in this article: Frontside and backside The concepts of frontside and backside originate from surfing, whereby the terms defined the position of the surfer in relation to the wave. * "Frontside" – executing a trick, whereby your front side faces the direction of travel or the obstacle that is the subject of the trick. This is counterclockwise for regular-footed riders and clockwise for goofy-footed riders. * "Backside" – opposite of frontside, backside flip tricks are executed with the rider's back facing the directio ...

Aerial (skateboarding)
Aerials (or more commonly airs) are a type of skateboarding trick usually performed on half-pipes A half-pipe is a structure used in gravity extreme sports such as snowboarding, skateboarding, skiing, freestyle BMX, skating, and scooter riding. Overview The structure resembles a cross-section of a swimming pool, essentially two concave ram ..., pools or quarter pipes where there is a vertical wall with a transition (curved surface linking wall and ground) available. Aerials usually combine rotation with different grabs. Most of the different types of grabs were originally aerial tricks that were performed in ditches, empty pools, and vert ramps before flatground aerials became common. Aerials can be executed by ollieing just as the front wheels reach the lip of a ramp, or can be executed simply by lifting the front wheels over the coping (or lip). The former is preferable on shallower ramps where the skateboarder has less speed to lift them above the ramp. Common aerial ...

High Score
In games, score refers to an abstract quantity associated with a player or team. Score is usually measured in the abstract unit of points (except in game shows, where scores often are instead measured in units of currency), and events in the game can raise or lower the score of different parties. Most games with score use it as a quantitative indicator of success in the game, and in competitive games, a goal is often made of attaining a better score than one's opponents in order to win. Video games In video games that feature scoring, points are usually an optional, side component of gaming. Players may achieve points through normal gameplay, but their score will often not have an immediate relevance to the game itself. Instead, playing to beat a "high score" set by the game program, another player or oneself becomes an extra challenge, adding replay value. In modern gaming, the presence of a score is not as ubiquitous as it was in the past. During the era of arcade games, w ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Arcade Game
An arcade game or coin-op game is a coin-operated entertainment machine typically installed in public businesses such as restaurants, bars and amusement arcades.
