Tony Hawk's Pro Skater HD Offers THPS 3 DLC Content For $5

[goh]

That's a slap in the face when they're charging $15 for it already.

Activision, meanwhile, uses this as a cash grab and a way to keep the game fresh, as you said. I don't mind the latter, but I mind the former. Many people will be turned off and not pay for it. Better yet, there might be people like me who might be turned off from the entire package simply because of their greediness. Not in a sense of rebellion, but in a sense of asking "Why am I not having this for less?"

You're acting like it's only Activison that does this? DLC is planned out months before launch of just about every game. Some finished long before the title ships, and just held back to charge more later. Been going on for years.

Do you think map packs for all these shooters are created after it ships? No. Not saying all DLC is like that, but it's at least thought out before shipping.

DLC has changed gaming for better/worse, however you want to look at it, but it's here to stay and will probably only get worse.

I fully understand that. This game, however, is old. Yes, they've given it the HD glorification treatment. That's it, though. Why do they feel we owe them so much for it? That's all I'm saying.

Believe me, I gripe just as much with other games and their DLC as well. I'm just always reminded when it's Activision, though.

Airport, LA, and Canada confirmed for THPS3 DLC

Well, it's good they included LA at least. The bottom of the airport level also had some pretty cool pipes as well.

Will it include the features that were in THPS3 as well? Like extended kickflip options, more special moves (specifically the Mullen flatland specials), etc? Because $5 would still be a bit of a handful for just three levels.

I think so - the IGN video preview definitely mentioned the revert was being included.

I feel like that was THPS4, but I can't remember exactly.
