Damn, to hear it does actually feel like classic THPS when it's not crashing and glitching out, makes it more frustrating, because without all thoses bugs, there could be a half decent game buried in there somewhere.
Really hope they patch the shit out of this to kill the bugs, so it might actually become playable.

I never gave two shits about skateboarding, but the old Tony Hawk games were fun as hell. As funny as some of these bugs are, it's kinda sad to see this happen to a series I used to love so much.

This is way worse. This comes from one of the greatest video game franchises of al time. To see the latest sequel in this state is just...depressing. You could argue Sonic Boom, but sonic has been terrible for a decade at this point. Having a good game occasionally does not reanimate it into a franchise worth caring for.

It is playable. It's not good, but how broken it is has been outrageously exaggerated.

Syndicate will at least seem like there was effort into making that a full $60 product, even with the annoying glitches.
This they could patch to be perfect and it'd still look like a $20 game maximum.

This is Robomodo's legacy:
Tony Hawk: Ride (2009)
Tony Hawk: Shred (2010)
In Time (2011)[1]
Big League Sports: Kinect (2011)[2]
Tony Hawk's Pro Skater HD (2012)
Skateboard Slam (2013)
Hunger Games: Catching Fire Panem Run (2013)
Globber's Escape (2014)
Monster Flash (2014)
Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 5 (2015; with Disruptive Games)[3]
This is diarrhea of the highest proportions.

I'll never understand why Fighter Within is trashed so much, I haven't encountered a single bug in it, and it does what you'd expect from a motion gaming fighter.
Anyway, at least the THPS gifs are hilarious. It's a rare case where the game itself is more funny than its Clueless Gamer video.
Why would Activision keep paying them to make these games? They have literally never made anything good. Their previous games have sold like absolute garbage. Activision would be making wiser investments by just burning their cash in flames.

The contract was extended in 2002 and expires this year.
Once Neversoft got moved over to Guitar Hero and the franchise's popularity was in the tank, they just farmed it out to the lowest bidder for the duration of the contract.

That makes a lot of sense.

......I still want to play this.
I just played up until I unlocked the Airport level in THPS3 on an emulator tonight and it's still fucking awesome.
Activision could have just had that game done up in 1080p with Trophies/Achievements and most people would have been pretty happy about it. Or like a THPS3/THPS4 remaster bundle, I would definitely pay the $50 they would charge for that.

I don't think kids care about Tony Hawk that much these days, a buch of them might in fact not even know who he is.
The first THPS was very a "you had to been there" kind of deal, it was bonkers where I lived because none of me friends could find a copy. I did. My brother came home from another country and he put an unboxed copy in my bed. Next morning me and my friends played the shit of out of that game and it was gettng better and then it ended. And we started again and the same thing happened: Awesomeness that ends only to begin again.
It was a very religious experience, so we followed fanatically everything about THPS2, THPS3, THPS4. For me, once it got to THUG it just didn't catch me so by then I followed my way, stil trying to play the games if I could. Anything up until Proving Ground and Project 8 are pretty serviceable, after that it gets a bit wonky. In fact, everything this new game needed to be was just serviceable, respectable or something like.
If the game is truly broken and fubar, today kids won't care. The kids from 1999-2000 most definitely will.

After the fiasco that was Tony Hawk: Ride, and the abortion that is Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 5, if Mr. Hawk insists on creating more games in his name, it's proof that he has brain damage from bailing one too many times.

Time for EA to swoop in and use Tony Hawks name in Skate.

Man, "Tony Hawk's Skate" would probably be a pretty good way of bringing the series back.

Tony probably has a no compete clause. He'd have to wait until that expires before dealing with EA. Not that they need Tony imo
He can choose to cash the check any time he wants.
Tony Hawk signed a 13 year contract on these games, which expires very shortly (hence the rush to get the game out).
Interestingly in 2002 (when the deal was signed) Tony Hawk was THE gaming franchise. #1. The Call of Duty of the time. Hence the 13 year deal. It did not work out.

Godzilla is nowhere near as bad as this game, nor is it as glitchy.
