We've managed to get some screenshots of the next gen build of Tony Hawk's Project 8. These screens will apparently be representative of both the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions, and they're looking good. The next gen versions are being built from the ground up with all new animations and physics, so veterans will finally see the end of the recycled sequences they've seen so many times. The reason for this is that next gen graphics requite much smoother animation than canned movements, and Neversoft is promising that anything up to 20 animations can be ready to blend together, creating a more seamless character movement.
The environments will also be more dynamic, with more people and features then ever before, and challenges will be divided into the categories 'Am', 'Pro' and (ahem) 'Sick'. In terms of game structure, Project 8 follows in the footsteps of the last few games by having a story element about a new skater trying to become a pro yadda yadda yadda. Some people would rather just play as Mike Vallely and Eric Koston, OK fellas?
Tony Hawk's Project 8 is due out sometime late this year for all non-Nintendo platforms.
