Tony Hawk 4 wasn't even very good really...
Nope.
It was great,
THUG is also one that was regarded as the best. That was the definitely the peak of the series before the downfall.

Says who? Most hardcore THPS players say 4 and THUG are the best in the series.
By hardcore I mean those dudes that do one combo on the whole level for 5 minutes, not just people who like skating.
I was never "hardcore" into them, but yeah, 4 was definitely my favorite. Probably a couple hundred hours of my teenage years spent on that game. Great stages.

Haha I noticed that.in completely unrelated news the skate franchise is on sale on xbox live
LOOOOOOOOOOOOL. Wow.
When was the last actual good TH game? I stopped at THUG2.
I love Jim Sterling.
Obviously my opinion but I preferred the task list of 1-3 over the NPCs in what followed. Could also be I burnt out on them after 4 games too.
Nope. People have found that this is the final year of the contract that Activision had with Tony Hawk. There's no way that they're going to resign him given that they allowed something as horrible to be released under the one Tony Hawk brand that was near flawless up till this point
In my professional opinion, Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 5 can fuck off.
The biggest take away here is how Activision have taken a franchise that was both critically and commercially acclaimed and thrown it under the bus.
Absolutely disgraceful.
This game is Eric Sparrows revenge.
I wonder who's idea it was to let Robomodo make a main THPS considering the 2 new installments they made were both critical and financial failures.
Tony Hawk: Ride
"Having the lowest ratings and worst sales for a Tony Hawk game, Ride debuted to negative critical and commercial reception. It has been widely criticized by video game critics as the worst of the series. It also failed to meet financial predictions, and led to a severe financial drop that risked cancellation of future Tony Hawk games."
Tony Hawk: Shred
"During its first week on sale in the United States, the game sold 3,000 copies; combined with the negative reception, the Tony Hawk franchise was put on hold."
Yeah that studio would totally be my choice for making a main game in the series.
What were they thinking?!
They thought that they could run a mild current through a corpse and revitalize it.What were they thinking?!
This stopped being funny and just became sad. How are they not apologizing for this? How has Tony Hawk and Robomodo said nothing?
Has this ever happened to any other main entries in a series?
Now's your chance EA, do the thing with your skateboarding thing
"We are aware of the issues that players have experienced following the launch of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 5 and are working with the developer to address these so that we can continue to improve the gameplay experience for all of the Tony Hawk fans who have known and loved this franchise for more than 16 years".
It was Activision's decision because they weren't bothered to make a proper TH game. They just wanted to shit something out before the Tony Hawk license expired this year.
Yeah but there must have been some better studio available that doesn't have a track record of making two of the worst games in the series, both financially and critically.
Also:
You know what they (don't) say-you save the worst for last...
Remember, THPS 3 and 4 are on PC (not sure about 1 and 2). Just play those. Any toaster can run that at its maximum resolution. Also there's a widescreen patch for 4 (it just unlocks the widescreen option that's already available on PS2 / gamecube) and I think 3 as well.
I bought THPS3 instead. I regret nothing.
HOLY FUCKING SHIT IS THIS HEAVENThere's also a THUG2 mod with online, resolution patches and THUG/THPS4 levels thrown in
