Fair enough.
Has anybody expressed interest in Skate at EA? What happened to the studio behind the series? I had a ton of fun with the first one.
Hey guys what if Robomodo made Sk4te?
ehhhhh it's ok, and no one wants a 2D skateboarding game when they say they want a new THPS or Skate. It's more of a platformer with skateboards than a skateboarding game imo.
A real shame that such a beloved franchise could go out on such a bad note. There's no way they're making another one right?
Reviews are as expected (at least from my side).
Now get your arse up EA and bring us a new Skate game!

Avoid this one like the Black Plague.
Jesus Christ. Activision, what the hell were you thinking
.I bought THPS3 instead. I regret nothing.

I know it makes little business sense to do so, but it smacks of damaging the brand so no-one else would dare to pick it up crossed with a shameless cash grab.
Also no Superman on the OST, the game was destined to fail.

Sad day for the fans of the franchise
I dunno guys, I think it could still turn out good,
Those 4's seem generous!
Eurogamer said:Why, when Activision has seemingly taken so much care and attention with its elegant revival of Guitar Hero? Why, when Activision has supported Bungie's triumphant overhaul of Destiny? This is a publisher that cares deeply about its marquee titles - after all, its bets are placed on perilously few of them. Seemingly, it comes down to a simple contractual obligation. The Tony Hawks license runs out at the end of the year. The game had to be ready for its deadline, even if wasn't ready for its deadline. It's an explanation that goes some way to absolve the development team, who no doubt gave their all and worked as hard as they could within the time that was available. Regardless, to charge full price for a game that is so clearly ramshackle is scandalous. Not even the glitches can save Tony Hawks 5. They are too narrow in range to sustain our interest. A skater disappearing in dry concrete is funny the first time. But the joke wears pretty thin when it's repeated this often, especially when it comes at such a high price for everyone involved.
Activision has announced that Tony Hawk, the star of its successful Pro Skater series of skateboarding games, has signed an exclusive multiyear video game licensing agreement that doesn't expire until 2015. The professional skateboarder has been working with Activision since 1998, and the first game in the Tony Hawk's Pro Skater series was released for the PlayStation in 1999. As of March 31 this year, the franchise had reportedly generated around $500 million worldwide, so it's not surprising that Activision is keen to keep the star of its Activision O2 label on board.
Activision will spend $500 million--half a billion dollars--on development and marketing for Bungie's upcoming "shared-world" shooter, Destiny. CEO Bobby Kotick revealed the figure during the Milken conference recently, as reported by Reuters.
In order to match the average rating of 95 for the previous four games, it needs to get 68 consecutive perfect scores.
[ 27 + 27 + 27 + 27 + 27 + (68*100) ] / 73 = 95
That is exactly 2x as many perfect scores as all of the first four games combined received.
Tony Hawk 4 wasn't even very good really...Has this ever happened to any other main entries in a series?
Says who? Most hardcore THPS players say 4 and THUG are the best in the series.Tony Hawk 4 wasn't even very good really...

By hardcore I mean those dudes that do one combo on the whole level for 5 minutes, not just people who like skating.
Olli Olli is great.
