Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 5
''Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 5'' is a 2015 skateboarding video game developed in collaboration between Robomodo and Disruptive Games, and published by Activision. The tenth main installment in the ''Tony Hawk's'' series, the game is the first new title in the main series since 2007's ''Proving Ground'' and the first ''Pro Skater'' since 2002's '' Pro Skater 4'', as the series had been put on hold following a lack of critical and commercial success with later games. As the licensing deal between Tony Hawk and Activision was set to expire by the end of 2015, the game was hastily developed within a few months and released unfinished, with most content contained in a large day-one patch. As a result, the game was panned heavily by critics upon release, with criticism centering on its graphics, bugs and glitches, controls, and lack of design, although slight praise fell toward the game's soundtrack. It became Robomodo's final game, as the company went out of business in August 2016. ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
