somehow they couldn't keep the good gameplay and had to break it after project 8

like how in the fuck can it be so hard to keep the movement identical, can't they literally use the same code?

Ironically, its own popularity killed it.

Being so profitable, Activision forced it to have a yearly release. Neversoft, trying to keep it fresh, kept adding shit with every new game.
Since the game peaked after THPS3, the following new features lacked novelty, and the original fans despised the mutation.
Seeing that the series was losing popularity, they were forced to make desperate attempts to revive it. After the

>After the
AFTER THE WHAT user
ANON NOOOOOO

also fuck project 8 too because it has some retarded slow motion gimmick

Was THPS4 not as well received? That was still a really solid game

Hes gone

everything up to american wasteland was received well

I really don't like the mission structure in 4
It's obviously still fun to play, being a Tony Hawk game, but I really just preferred the 2 minute structure that allowed you to go after every mission at once

boom of the Wii and peripherals like the guitar from Guitar Hero, they tried a shot with the stupid skateboard.
Thus we ended here, with two last games that "tried" to catter to the nostalgiafags but ended up being a fucking parody of itself. God knows if the fuckers at Robomodo ever played a Tony Hawk game.

God knows what's next for the arcade skating genre. I have seriously thought of learning video game design so I can single handedly make a spiritual successor since no one has brought up one.

lmao sorry peeps, misclicked Submit

Yes, THPS4 is still good but it's basically THPS3 with minor additions. It was the start of THPS as a COD tier cash cow.

What was wrong with Proving Ground?

the best were the games which had both the mission structure as well as a classic mode with the 2 minute time limit

they started fucking with the gameplay and for some reason placed the camera in a retarded place, the slow motion shit is just horrible
it just plays really clunky compared to the proper ones

what happened to you, neversoft

Activision shut them down
Fuck Activision, why are they not looked upon with the same kind of disgust as EA?

really the series was running out of steam though like they pumped that shit like call of duty, all good things must end

>"Cowabunga guys! It's me, Bam Margera! Let's go play a prank on my dad Phil haha! Did you see that movie Jackass that I was in? TOTALLY GNARLY AM I RIGHT? Let's make another one, and then several TV series about it and about me and how crazy and hip and cool I am! Oh also please make your second underground game about me and my friends."

Nothing really, it's just died it had a good run.

YOU HAVE TEN (10) SECONDS TO NAME THE TONY HAWK GAME WITH THE BEST SOUNDTRACK

downhill jam

I'M DESTROYING THE WORLD

it was a good series in its time, just like skate sport it was a fad, people grew up and started expecting more of gaming, but tony hawk was only the same thing, a game about skating, and people always wanted more and never were able to accept the franchise for it was, a repetitive meme

he was actually getting better for a few months until he got caught for DUI

the game had a bit of an edgy anarchist vibe going on, guess that was the cool skateboarded thing in 2006 or whatever time it was released in

>just like skate sport it was a fad
it's in the 2020 olympics
also skateboarding's fun

not him but yeah though it kind of lost this mainstream popularity where every kid skateboarded

but there's that skateboarding youtube channel with over a million subs so it's still popular but it's less universal as it used to be for a while

Did they ever properly fix THPS 5?

>implying this POS can be fixed
they'd have to start over

Oversaturation combined with low effort cash grab attemps like Tony Hawk HD and Tony Hawk 5
