Tony Hawk Back in the Pipeline

New Tony Hawk Game is in the Pipeline

New Tony Hawk Game

"Between 1999 and 2010, on Tony Hawk game was released annually. Like Call Of Duty (only, you know, skateboard based) the franchise began strong and revolutionary, with the first few games in the series accruing some of the highest review scores from gamers and critics alike in the history of gaming.

You can have too much of a good thing, however, and four years ago, Tony Hawk Pro Skater took a much needed break. Now, with the number of even semi-decent extreme sports games having plummeted in the last few years, Tony is back. The retired pro-skater himself has revealed that work is undergoing on a new Tony Hawk title…

In an interview on US radio yesterday, Hawk told audiences that he is currently working on motion capture for a new skateboarding game that he is “pretty cool”. Activision, who originally published more than a dozen games in the skating franchise, have also stepped forward to confirm their involvement in the project. A spokesperson for the publishing giant has said that "Activision can confirm that they have something in the works with Tony Hawk," and that "more info is coming soon."

For those of us who, as children, spent much, much more time with the virtual boards of SSX and Tony Hawk games than actually outside, you know, exercising and stuff, the thought of a new motion captured skateboarding title is pretty interesting. Let’s hope the hiatus for the series means Activision can do something fresh with the series."
