However, I have tried to avoid playing whenever I visit my family now - because I usually spend the majority of the day in my cousins room instead of with the family that I love! Not recommended for people with addictive personalities (smokers, alcoholics, etc.) Just kidding, but seriously, this game is great, it requires a measure of skill unlike many silly shoot-em-ups out there. I'd rank this up with Grand Theft Auto III, both are masterpieces in their own right. I am not easily amused with video games, but this was one of the few that managed to grab me for a significant amount of time. I ended up playing it more than he did, and this is saying alot for me. He was notably happy and ecstatic when he unearthed the shiny CD from its colorful wrappers, and we proceeded to spend the entire day in front of the living room big-screen, perfecting our rail grinds and 900's (whatever that means). I purchased the game and gave it to my cousin for Christmas. I would never have considered trying this game out had my cousin not put it on the top of his Christmas list. I'm no skateboard enthusiast, and I was rather cynical at first. Vicarious is now Blizzard Albany.Even I was surprised when I first played this. Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4 would have followed the same formula and remastered the third and fourth games.ġ + 2 was completed by Vicarious Visions shortly before Activision absorbed the company into Blizzard. The latest addition, Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 + 2, is a 2020 remaster of the first two Pro Skater games, which were released in 19, respectively. Tony Hawk‘s is one of the most popular video game series of all time, with 20 installments generating over $1 billion.

The truth of it is that they were trying to find someone to do 3 + 4 but they just didn’t really trust anyone the way they did Vicarious, so they took other pitches from other studios, like, ‘What would you do with the THPS title?’ And they didn’t like anything they heard, and that was it.” And then Vicarious got kind of absorbed and then they were looking for other developers and then it was over.
