to Tokyo, Suburbia to Skater's Island performing challenges and meeting goals. Or enjoy full customization abilities with the enhanced Create-a-Skater (now including female skaters) and the Skatepark Editor. Skate as the legendary Tony Hawk or choose from a dream team of 12 top pro skaters, including old favorites like Lasek, Thomas, Muska, and Steamer, as well as new talent like Gilfberg, Caballero, Koston, and Mullen. So they took other pitches from studios - like, “what would you do with the THPS title?” And they didn’t like anything they heard, and then that was it.You may not be able to live like the legend, but now you can skate like him. They were trying to find someone to do 3 + 4, but they just didn’t really trust anyone the way they did Vicarious. And then Vicarious got kinda absorbed, and then they were looking for other developers, and then it was over. Unfortunately, Activision killed those plans when they merged Vicarious Visions with Blizzard:Įven up until the release date of this, we were going 3 and 4. When Gentile asked about THPS 3 + 4, Hawk confirmed that it was in the works following THPS 1 + 2.
But it represents how little Activision seems to understand about its audience and what they’re looking for. With all the furor around the working conditions at Activision Blizzard, the way QA testers are treated at Raven Software, and the controversy surrounding the Microsoft buyout, the cancellation of THPS 3 + 4 is quaint by comparison. You already know that Activision’s in a lot of hot water right now, and rightfully so. Tony Hawk, pro skater Why Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4 was shelved I wish I could say that we had something in the works, but Vicarious Visions kinda got disbanded and Activision’s going through all their stuff. It seems that now that Vicarious Visions has fully merged with Blizzard, the future of the Tony Hawk’s series is even further in question.
andyTHPS (AKA Andy Gentile, a senior designer at THPS 1 + 2 developer Vicarious Visions) recently played the game on stream with Tony Hawk himself coming on as a guest. That means that Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4 was basically guaranteed, right? The 2021 remake of the first two Pro Skater games became the fastest-selling game in the Tony Hawk’s franchise. Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 + 2 was a hit with both fans and critics.
You really can’t have anything nice in this day and age.
