OMG, Tony Hawk is back! But why does the upcoming Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 5 look like crap…and there’s no PC version? I just gone through the screenshots, and the video and came away unimpressed. Normally I would get all fan-boy over games that I really like, but this, this looks bad. Someone please tell Robomodo to stop grabbing assets from their PS3 library and move on with the times. The skate parks, apparently based on real-life locations, look so unimaginative (especially the surrounding environment) and downright ugly you might as well think you are playing Counter-Strike Source
According to the press release, it has been 13 years since Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 4, and Activision, the publisher for this new title, took the trouble to come up with a trailer (the aforementioned video) for Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 5 that includes behind-the-scenes footage and interviews from developer Robomodo, as well as Tony Hawk and other in-game pros. You can check it out over here, but fair warning, THPS5 is ugly.
Check out the rest of the horrible screenshots below.
The game will be available for the PS4 and the Xbox One on September 29th 2015 for USD 59.99. No release dates have been confirmed for the Xbox 360 and PS3, and I don’t think there’ll be a PC version of the game since the PR doesn’t mention it….and that’s just sad.
