I think we should all pour one out for the death of the Tony Hawk franchise.
RIP in pieces.

At the end of the stream there wasn't even anything to make fun of anymore, they showed all the bad things and we had a laugh. Then it was just sad and depressing.
I don't think even funny youtubes or streams can save this

It isn't like we were going to get another anyway.
Activision just shipping this game to be eaten alive at 60$ in the last year of Tony's contract almost seems like a sick twisted way for Kotick to cock slap Tony and just say "fuck you you weren't as nearly as useful as you should've been you are NOT CALL OF DUTY FUCK YOUR LEGACY".

Its dead, Jim.
Tony Hawk was a good franchise... over 10 years ago.
This game is the final nail in the coffin. No doubt about it. And Activision must know what they're selling, and they set the price. I'd say they send this to die and gain profit on anyone who lets nostalgia get the better off him. It would've sold like shit at 30 as well, might as well go full buck.

Robomodo are poor video game creators.
The Neversoft eyeball must be rolling around in it's grave right now.

I've really liked THPS since I first started playing video games in general, and kept casually playing good installments up until now. This is pretty big fucking bummer

Last year for contract?
TONY HAWK should go to EA and reassemble the Skate makers to have a Tony Hawk X Skate game.

Oh shit. Would Tony even want to keep the franchise running at this point?

Tony will probably sell his name to some mobile game developer and ride off into Bolivia
Welp, I assumed they were still making COD maps. My bad.

I would LOVE another Thrasher. The system they had for breaking boned and shit was so entertaining and my brother and I would sit for hours just totally wrecking our skater to see who can get hurt the most.

Nice stream, horrible game. I still can't believe that it launched $60 out of the gate.

He will probably take a few years and maybe lend his name to some mobile games and then maybe... MAYBE get involved with a Kickstarter if crowd funding isnt completely poisoned by then.

Skate 4 probably isn't going to happen. Black Box got dissolved.
Was gonna post this, it really describes the game pretty well.

God please let this happen. Skate has always been the better series too.

What a darn shame what's become of this franchise.
I can't imagine someone somewhere at Activision actually greenlighting as a final, retail, publishable game. I thought the rumors of it being bad were just rumors until I saw the QL.
Either Bobby Kotick really doesn't give a fuck or someone thought it was ready.
I fear for Transformers Devastation at this point.

Well all the skate games are on sale on XBL. Hoping they'll be backwards compatible with the XBO. This game just makes me sad. That Quick Look was brutal. When the game is $10 I'll get it.
Stop Robomodo from developing anything further on this franchise. It was dying, and they've probably killed it.

Why bring back the Pro Skater name 13 years later just to shit on it?
Activision has piss poor brand management, they either milk a series to death or let them die quivering on the floor.

Fixed.
"I'm back, bitches!"
This is the asshole, Activision and Kotick know how to make money. They are not foolish for gouging people and selling them a turd sandwich of a game, some would say he's actually kind of smart for being able to pull it off. He's certainly an asshole though for milking an excellent franchise that still has potential legs, and could have in all honesty been rejuvenated at a time when there's a serious dearth of skate games.
Even if the visuals were subpar, there's really no reason for not polishing out of major bugs, and at least shipping a fun product. I'm sure Robomodo are largely to blame for that part though, they really seem to miss the point of what makes a good Tony Hawk game from what I've seen. Also, even with a tiny budget, how could they seriously not be able to at least ship a functionally decent game considering they already had the core game made for Tony Hawk HD? all we needed was that with new levels.

This hurts me to watch this. THPS2 is like my top 5 most played Playstation games. This hurts.
True, but when a game like OlliOlli only cost $10 and has the heart and soul of a fun Tony Hawk game than......this, I think we can make an exception.

Im really glad Dan is at Giant Bomb
This makes me wonder...
Did the old THPS games use motion capture? The animations were pretty damn good for the time.
Has anyone tried the THPS HD on PC? Hearing about this game is really making me want to jump back into a Tony Hawk game and it is available for $10. I've only had time to watch part of the Giant Bomb ql for it and the biggest complaints I have seen so far seem to be that it took away the improvements that 3 brought. I don't really mind if it is not all that refined, I just want to make sure I'm not throwing $10 away on complete garbage.

Just remember that Neversoft was closed down to make Call of Duty map packs.
