especially Tony Hawk for putting his name to it
I imagine he signed a contract with Activision and didn't necessarily think that they might just call up another random dev company because Neversoft are too busy making the next big money maker in the Guitar Hero series.

I have the Platinum trophy on PS4 for that bad boy.
Full grind, trophy popped and I sold it on eBay for more than I paid for it.
THPS 1+2 remastered are pretty good fun and worth getting

So, I got Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 5 from my crummy local CEX for a fiver. Fancied a few retro THPS vibes, despite knowing this version was shit. Turns out it is even shittier than anything you could possibly imagine - it's like the PS2 version with worse graphics, playability, mechanics and, crucially, soundtrack. A lot of stuff you can only do online, but the servers shut down a few months post-release, because nobody played it because, again, it's shit.
Just a clear money-grab put together over a weekend by cunts. Anyone involved in making it should be ashamed of themselves, especially Tony Hawk for putting his name to it. Feel very sorry for anyone who ever paid full price for it.
