New ‘Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 5’ Dev Diary Details Create-A-Park & More!

Briefly: I was a big fan of the Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater series until it got awful. There’s no sports game, singular or series, that I’ve spent more hours with, but after the first Tony Hawk’s Underground, the series quickly turned from stellar to abysmal. Even Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater HD was disappointing, bringing over beloved stages, but leaving behind the classic physics and incredible soundtrack.

Tony is aware of the series’ missteps, and is looking to fix them with the series next game. Following the first footage of the game last week at E3, a new developer diary has just debuted which notes the game’s online play, park creator, and much more.

Now, I’m really excited for this. Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 5 is the first game in the series in years that has actually piqued my interest. I’m not sure that I dig the new ‘slam down’ mechanic, but I’ll try not to judge it before I get my hands on it.

Are you looking forward to the resurgence of the series? Sound out below!
