I read a preview on the game on IGN earlier today and it states quite a lot of the new features in the game.
http://uk.xbox360.ign.com/articles/720/720739p1.html
I've also taken the time to write a summary of the article, so if your too lazy to read it all read below.
1. Story Mode will see you compete against 200 other skaters to rank yourself in the top 8. Tony Hawk and crew come to town and you need to impress them, you do this by getting into the top 8.
2. This time the world really is open. In American Wasteland you went through tunnels to access new cities, now it's all spread together and more circular, meaning it's much easier to progress to other cities.
3. Waypoints can now be placed in Story Mode. This means that if you have found a goal you can "tag" it, so that if it's too difficult and you want to come back to it later on you can with ease, as there will be a arrow leading to it's direction.
4. Project 8 will not feature the Classic mode, however there will be Class mode goals in the story (such as collect SKATE in 2 minutes)
5. Gaining stats is different now. Instead of doing certain objectives like grinding for 3 seconds you'll need to grind for a total of 1000 feet
6. Now you can edit skate objects around story mode to help complete goals, much like Amped 3.
7. Nail the Trick mode enables you to control the skaters feet and do tons of variations of late flips as the camera zooms in and goes into slo mo.
8. Chalk challenges has you attempting to beat other skaters lines and combo runs in story mode. Copy them and beat their score to complete the challenge.
9. Bail goals see you purposely trying top damage your skater as much as possible, much like Amped 3 (you should love this Phatmuther :p).
10. This time the world really is open. In American Wasteland you went through tunnels to access new cities, now it's all spread together and more circular, meaning it's much easier to progress to other cities.
Edit: Bah number 2 and 10 are the same, I dunno what else to say though so I'll leave it like that.
