![]() On September 4, 2020, Activision released a Video Game Remake of the first two Pro Skater games. They were merged into Infinity Ward in 2013. Depending on who you ask, the series peaked with Pro Skater 2, Pro Skater 3, or Underground, with the franchise generally agreed to have then circled the drain until Neversoft stopped making Tony Hawk games after the commercial failure of Proving Ground, and promptly began working on Guitar Hero. ![]() ![]() Unfortunately, the series ran on a gruelling (for both the developers at Neversoft and the players) annualised schedule, a move which, unsurprisingly, led to stagnation and franchise fatigue. The tight, fast-paced gameplay, superb level design, mountains of hidden unlockables and Easter Eggs, addictive multiplayer (Notably, Pro Skater 3 was the first PS2 game to feature online functionality, before the official system modem was even released) and impeccable taste in licensed music led to absolutely enormous financial and critical success - with Pro Skater 2 in particular being the second highest rated game of all time on Metacritic, tied with Grand Theft Auto IV and Soulcalibur and just behind The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time.
