As an update to an earlier article where we said that Tony Hawk will soon be rollin' and flippin' to the XBL soon, we now bring you news as to exactly when the Tony Hawk's Project 8 demo will be coming to the Marketplace.

According to a press release by the game's publisher, Activision, all ya skaters and gamers out there will be able to hit the ramps in Concrete Park, where you'll get to Nail the Trick in Filmer Goals and Spot Challenges. For those not in the know, Nail the Trick is one of the game's key features where players get to control how fast their skater moves their feet to flip the skateboard.

Filmer Goals, on the other hand, require players to follow a cameraman and execute the tricks he calls out; while Spot Challenges refer to the goals that players can access throughout the game world, and complete whenever they want. Currently being developed by Neversoft Entertainment and sporting a T rating from the ESRB, Tony Hawk's Project 8 is scheduled for release in November, with the demo hitting XBLM on October 20th.

I think Microsfot uses their clock. Which is in the states. And I have no idea what timezone that's it.



But it doesn't matter I have the flu and therefore can stay home all day playing it....

Most XBLA games were available for download MIDNIGHT the very day that they were scheduled to come out. I checked midnight last night, nothing. I woke up at 830 this morning for school, and checked before I walked out the door, nothing. I checked during my lunch break from work, nothing. And now, apparently, still nothing. WTF? Get on it, Activision!



I'm dying to get my hands on that "nail the trick" mode. I'm an old school Hawk fan from the very first game, but this will be the first Hawk game I've played since Underground 1. but since Project 8 gets back to the basics, I'm soo stoked for it and want to play it. I want it so bad. Bring me my salvation, Activision! It better be up by the time I get home from work.

i saw the post for this yesterday and pretty much broke the couch running to download today. Its 9:30 eastern time and all i see is some erotic doax trailer which isn't soo erotic...i'mn sure. Either way I want my demo. Btw qj, you never provided a link with this post. I'm sure it's just activision but still im too lazy to try and find it.

Not to be a non-optimist; but I dought that guy was from microsoft. What would he be doing on an underground, not so well known web site. I'm sure if there was a bug; he would have benmn fixing it, and not chating on forums.

Yes the demo is on marketplace, follow:



Game Download>By Genre>Action> Scroll to bottome of page



It is inside of a concrete skate park, and it is a great teaser.



Ups: Graphics are great (not ground breaking), Nail the Trick is addictive, and for those with varying needs for realism/fantasy try this:



Press Start, go to game options, control options and tinker with Skater Speed. 10 is typical Tony Hawk, 1-3 is quite realistic for speed, olly height etc.



Downs: Time limit, No access to any other features such as create-a-...
