Activision have sent through some screens and a movie of the upcoming Tony Hawk Project 8, the newest iteration of one of the most successful sporting games of all time. Check out the screenshots and movie to see what a next-gen skating game looks like.
The series is getting long in the tooth, so Neversoft are busting out some big guns for this one, including new native support for the next-gen consoles (as opposed to a simple port which is what you'd get with American Wasteland), Project 8 features a heap of new visual tricks, including an impressive animation blending system that makes the tricks look a lot more natural.
For the handholders, we've also got screenshots for the upcoming Nintendo DS game Tony Hawk Downhill Jam.

It may be nitpicking, but but I thought they would have fixed simple things like this by now... but maybe it looks better in motion? I have yet to see that.

The slow-mo effect isn't for just doing normal tricks, in this instance, you have control over your skaters feet with the analogue sticks, the board turns into a physics controlled object, so you have to tap and flip the board fully to pull off whatever tricks you can come up with, or at least that's the gist of what I thought it was on about.
The rest of the game elements sound awesomely compelling if you're into the Hawk games.
