Tony Hawk 5 Announced

Tony Hawk’s Pro Skating is a series that has been both an institution and a parody of itself. For several years, it was not only the best skateboarding game on the market, it was one of the best games period. Over time, the series began to dilute it’s core concepts and gameplay, and by the time the skateboard peripheral was introduced a few years ago, it was clear that the franchise needed a break. With the recent announcement of Tony Hawk 5 , it seems Activision is ready to give the franchise another shot.

The game seems to be getting back to core systems and mechanics, appealing to long-time fans as well as being accessible to newcomers. For better or worse, the Tony Hawk brand still carries weight, both nostalgic and potential. It really seems like they’re going for it with this one, and it will be interesting to see if they manage to recapture that original magic. For more information, check out this video:
