Like you, me and my brothers used to LOVE the Tony Hawk series, but they have progressively been getting shittier.
Ahh yes, theyre moving on to drive another franchise into the ground. Its a shame theyre wasting their talents on Guitar Hero. New games plz.
Doees anyone really care anymore? I'm on the same boat as everyone, these games used to be the shit... until Bam Margera popularity started happening, then they just went down hill from Underground 2 on
This franchize probably has clocked up the most *Pause, scroll, Restart, Yes* moments in history.
Wouldn't mind number 2 being released on PSN. I think that's the one anyway.
Once they started making things too story-based and bringing Bam Margera too much into the mix it got bad.

I think the thing that really made the games less appealing for me is that they threw out the arcade style that worked so well in the first three games in favor of realism. Realism is great and all, but if I'm going to play a fantasy sports title, I want it to be fantastic and over-the-top. I want to be able to do a ton of stuff that nobody could ever physically accomplish.

Exactly. Tony Hawks Pro Skater 3 was a truly great game, but after Underground it all went downhill (jam) from there (excuse the pun).
I hope it's revived in a good way.

I picked up Skate recently, and it reminded me of the fun I used to have playing Tony Hawk on PS1 and listening to Sublime CDs. Good times.
Fear not; they're simply making more time to fully enjoy pounding Guitar Hero six feet into the dirt...
The real question is "What franchise will they ravage and leave for dead in a ditch after GH?"

I liked project 8. Mind you, it was the first one I played. I also hated skate. I didn't like the learning curve, the advertising was way too obtrusive, and the flicks were too similar and aggrivating to me. I know. I lose my hipster badge now.
Eh, a different developer to crucify when we inevitably still can't get it up for the new game(s) like we used to.
The poor cow must be drier than a fucking raisin, My favorite was Tony Hawk Pro Skater 2 on PSX and it was like 10 fucking years ago.
Didn't anyone liked the irony of the "Tony Hawk Pro Skater Downhill" name for the title on the Wii game?

I'd prefer there being no more Tony Hawk games at all.
@Conrad: While it did become less arcade-like in format, if anything it became less realistic.
I don't see this franchise being saved unless it became a totally different game. The whole make sure the canned trick animation is complete before landing and snap-on grinding mechanic is way over-tired.
Dropping the lame & unnecessary storylines would be a good start.

I know this article is all but done, but this was a bit of good news for me. Neversoft did some great things with Tony Hawk in the early days, and I'd rather them just move on from it, for our sakes and theirs. There were so many great things about Tony Hawk 2, I was a retard for ever selling my copy of it.
