Title: First Screens of ESPN X Games Skateboarding

Set to debut on the PlayStation 2 before the Birdman (Tony Hawk) arrives on any next-generation platform, ESPN X Games Skateboarding promises to be the best skateboarder on the PlayStation 2 for at least a couple months (if not a whole lot longer if it can dethrone the king). Konami\'s extreme entry will hit the PlayStation 2 in August of 2001 and will feature everything you expect from a skateboarding game: three tournament stages based on the 2000 X Games in San Francisco, six action stages in a variety of locations, eight skaters, a practice mode, two-player split-screen, 64 skateboards each with its own unique stats, and of course, the requisite funky/hip/alternative soundtrack.

Until the game comes out or until we get a preview copy, satisfy yourself with these screens (of which at least two are renders...we\'ll let you decide which ones are real).

Wow, the character models look as good as the DOA2 models and the backgrounds are gorgeous, that is to say, unless these are renders, but these pics do look beautiful.

I agree with mm. Those shots look like crap. The PS2 can and already has done better than that.

P.S. You could make a new award in TimeSplitters for that game: "Wheres the Textures?"

The second picture looks like he is inside the Titanic. The wooden walls, and the glass ceiling. That would be interesting.
