stoopider:
The R shouldnt have signed up for this.
I thought eric B would have more foresight than to put his name on this product too.
Wow. Yeah man, shit is getting outta hand. I didn't believe that b-boy game could be real at first, but it's endorsed by Legs and all that. Currently only available in Europe, btw
DOPE!
So ill.
On the other, I've played it on PSP for a bit as a friend of mine is endorsed by it. I didn't like the engine and clunky controls they chose to do the moves with, and overall the animation's are stiff, and bulky.
Also, the things they mo-capped are pretty ugly. Plus the physics are completly off, and it's way to easy to pull off shit that is just not capable in real life.
While, the Tony Hawk Aspect of this is dope, being able to computer do 20 airflares is boring and lacks the accomplishment you would get from actually being able to do 1.
I actually wish this game was more like Eddy Gordo from Tekken.

B-boy the game tho? wow looks interesting. Like tony hawk of b-boyism
the graphics look like dance dance revolution.
it breaks my heart to see breaking on pop music videos. i think that its great that some dedicated bboys are getting over, but its just disenheartening to see it being sold.
Looks fun to me.
are you kidding? how could ANY exposure possibly be bad for breakdancing?
Bboying has sold out so many times that it is becoming a joke.
Not all exposure is good exposure.

Breakin on Barney is not good exposure. exposure = association. bad association = bad exposure. I think of breakin as something that shouldnt be accessable to anyone with an xbox or mtv. thats just me though maybe.
go to an 8th grade dance and check out some of what the youth thinks "breakin" is today and maybe you will feel as i do.
note: i teach 8th grade special ed. i dont hang out at middle school dances regularly
but then in some ways the idea of tony hawk the game is stupid. At no point does it really capture the essence of skating.
its called bboying not breakdancing
how can anyone claim that "bboying" sold out its like saying turntablism sold out cos some fake dj on a britney spears clip is acting out cuts??
sure theres been lots of crap examples of bboying in the media, I can also think of lots of crap examples of mcees, djs etc... do these people somehow reflect the real state of things.
you see bboys on pop clips but at least now your starting to see decent dudes instead of some wack dude... does this equate to selling out?? At what point is getting paid selling out. To me its only if you change what you do, i.e you go against your personal ethic or you do something you have said you would never do.
The kind of argument that success = selling out is pretty myopic. I mean lets say someone on this board sells 10 million copies of a single. Is that selling out? What if they liscence their song onto a video game? What if the record company liscences it to a commercial?
Maybe legs, kenny, frosty etc sold out when "uprock" came out... i dunno
but to me the generalised usage of "selling out" is a cheap way of saying i dont like it. The thing is either crap or not crap depending on your taste
It doesnt look suburban though.
