Now with more tricks than ever, including the revert andflatland tricks like the handstand manual, you can show off using the enhanced Create-A-Skater feature, and Skatepark Editor." The $40 title, available for pre-order, will run under both Mac OS 9 and OS X; the ship date has not been announced.

No Way

THPS2 was and still is fun, unfortunately Aspyr never updated the game to give us controller support in OSX. I will never buy an Aspyr title ever. They rarely release a game that doesn't require an immediate patch. I got smart and got a GameCube instead.

Is this a joke?

Come on Aspyr, why don't you just skip 3 and go for 4 (not sure if it is even in PC developement, but I doubt Activision wouldn't be doing so). It just confirms what I've always felt. Gaming is best on a console.

graphics

cube or playstation is OK, but unless they keep revising the system, updating the hardware, then I prefer the PC. Unreal tournament 2003 is great. Graphics at 1024*768 in 32 bit color are so much better than having to play a game and watching it on tv, A tv is low resolution and details just aren't sharp enough.

I think mac gaming would be a lot better if there was a lot less pirating. Its way too easy. Same with the OS

Intelligent Traffic?

Sounds like fun, especially if it improves on v2.

As a bicyclist, I can tell them there's no such thing as "intelligent traffic". Most people become complete idiots when they get behind the wheel. If it's not another car, truck or bus, it doesn't exist. SQUISH.

This is amazing.

This is amazing since Tony Hawk has always been a big advocate of the Mac (as seen by the latest switch ads) and his game is an entire series behind!!

I think that he should force publishers to dual-release the games.

3 is poo anyways

Yah, it is pretty embarrassing to have this coming out now, they shouldnt even bother.... but theres also the fact that this is by far the worst of the 3 that have been released... I did not have fun with it at all on PS2

3 or 4

Tony Hawk 3 is a good game, better than the 2nd one...It's great to have it on the Mac, we'll have the 4 later.

Unfortunately, if Pc games editors don't support the Mac, we won't have simultaneous releases. I'm sure Aspyr doesn't have much choice, they certainly had to choose a game which was already released on Pc in order to have the code source finished...

Anyway, game consoles are better, it's cheap, it's easy, it doesn't need patchs and it just works !
Gran Turismo on PS 2 is beautiful, I've never seen a game as nice and as cool on PC or Mac, the same goes for Halo on X Box or Starfox on GameCube...

Ladies, Ladies...

I think you're neglecting a very important point: Alien VS Predator 2 and NASCAR 2k3 are still not out for the Mac.

That's it.

What's the point?

I've got a GameCube (PowerPC based nonetheless). Why in God's good name would I buy a copy of THPS3 when 4 is on its way?

It's frankly embarrassing to the Mac community. This is like saying, "And we give you...the compact disc player!" while others are like, 'uh, we had this about 19 years ago...'

duh

Halo for Mac? when? When Halo 2 comes out for XBox.

look people. Play video games on TVs with consoles.

sharper image my a**. Yeah, because you're on a 19" monitor ... personally I like to relax on the couch in front of a 50" tv with surround sound than crouched in front of a 19" at a desk.

dumb a**

Well...

THPS3 is great and all for the mac, but seeing as I just bought it dirt cheap for my PS2 last week and with THPS4 just around the corner I don't see why I should buy this in half a year when it arrives for my mac. And I even do have a PS-like (iShock) controller for it - which I COULD use with my copy of THPS2 if Aspyr EVER released it's promised Mac OS X patch....grrrr...

OS 9?

Why even bother with a OS 9 port? I'd rather have an optimized OS X version than a half-baked hybrid like most games these days. SoF2: Double Helix has the right idea.

SFTU: whiners and morons

1. I've been using THPS2 on OSX since it came out, I don't know what your problem is.

2. If people choose to play games on thier computer instead of a console, why the f*** would you care. Stop saying "play games on a console". OK, they've considered the console and prefer the computer. Play your console games and STFU.

3. "Why would I buy THPS3 when 4 is out?" 4 is only on CONSOLES. Of course you wouldn't buy it if you had a CONSOLE. See #2. It hasn't been out for PC very long so the mac is not "19 years" behind the pc for this game.
