Thanks to Thomas for bringing this to my attention. 
I remember when Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater made it’s debut on PSone, man I spent hours every day pulling tricks, doing sick jumps etc & I loved every minute of it. I subsequently played all the THPS games right up until Tony Hawk’s Underground & that’s where I felt the series lost sight of what made the first 3 THPS games so great. They tried to make it into an adventure & adding a story & cars (cars in a skateboarding game just doesn’t go) when it’s all about the tricks & combos baby!!!
There’s very little info about the title but 1up does have some screenshots of Tony Hawk’s Project 8 (they have to change the name surely) & they say the June issue of Official US PlayStation Magazine has a preview of the game.
You can also check out this supposed test footage of next-gen Tony Hawk:

Quoting some guy that posted this in the YouTube comments:

i seriously hope that’s not the actual speed of the game- i mean, realistic is great but thats slower than a 90 year old- who’s dead
Au Contraire dude! i hope it stays like that. More realism is better!

Yeah I agree Thomas I want more realism & less of the Jackass stuff that featured in THUG & Wasteland. The series was at it’s greatest during THPS 3.
