6/23/2023 0 Comments Tony hawk pro skater 5 levels![]() ![]() The addictive, arcade-like pursuit of getting a perfect run led to massive sales and publisher Activision ordering a raft of sequels. Oh, and each run lasted a grand total of two minutes. The first Tony Hawk's Pro Skater debuted in 1999 on the original PlayStation and was a runaway hit: Nine tightly designed levels each with a handful of goals (e.g., hit a high score collect the five letters that spell out "S-K-A-T-E" find a hidden VHS tape). And that's including the horrible pair of plastic skateboard peripheral-based games he worked on: Tony Hawk Ride and its follow up, Shred. The idea, as Dwyer explains it, is to treat anything that released past 2002's Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 4 as if it never existed. "The originals are great and then the rest weren't as good." He's referring, of course, to the high bar set by the first four games in the storied extreme sports franchise as compared to the middling releases that followed. "It's like making a new Star Wars movie," says Patrick Dwyer, lead designer on developer Robomodo's upcoming Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 5.
