New ‘Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 5’ Images Show Off A New Art Style!

Briefly: Last month, a new (and in my opinion, pretty cool) trailer for the upcoming Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 5 was released online. Gamers balked at the video, and while I agree that the game’s visuals looked terribad, I otherwise watched the closest thing to classic THPS that I’d seen in years.

Haters, you now have one less reason to hate the title, as Activision has just revealed a new cel-shaded art style for the title.

Yep, it looks much better. It’s hard to feel too positive for THPS5 after the franchise’s track record in recent years, but Tony and team are aware of the series’ missteps, and is certainly looking to fix them with the upcoming release.

Take a look at the new screenshots below, and be sure to let us know what you think! Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 5 hits stores on September 29th.
