The goal of the games is to maneuver through the levels to complete goals and get a lot of points.

Unlike other platformers, the main focus of the Tony Hawk games is the actual platforming.

A Tony Hawk reboot would be awesome. I miss those games when they were good.

Snowboard kids 2 was also way more fun than it should have been tho it reminded me more of Mario kart

The Skate games are more realistic skateboarding games (it's your preference whether you'd rather have that or not) but NOT better platformers.

This reminds of my coworker a long time ago who thought Gears of War was a Dynasty Warriors ripoff.

Because you go through a bunch of enemies and the only difference was you had guns (his words).

Not every sport is the same. It makes sense that a skateboarding game would be a platformer based on what you actually do when skateboarding.

Why did they kill the SSX series? Unlike Tony Hawk, the last one was pretty good. I tried to get into Skate, but I didn't like the realism focus, I'm more into doing wacky shit like the old school Tony Hawk games.

Ssx hopefully isnt dead tbh. 2012 was absolutely fantastic and 6 years later I still see a few friends from that time online and record running. I think it has enough of a fan base that well see another imo

To suggest that THPS is a better platformer than Mario.

I've thought about comparing Tony Hawk gameplay to DMC and Bayonetta, considering they both focus on ridiculous combos that get progressively harder the longer you string them out

Platforming though?

THPS5 was more or less only made as a cash grab, considering they were about to lose the license to Tony Hawk and released the game on the very last day they legally could.

Honestly, by now, the best chance for a new THPS-style game would be a knockoff from a different developer. I'm sure someone's working on one.

I'm in favor of bold, broad genre interpretations. "Tony Hawk is a platformer" is a good take.

If Tony Hawk came out today, it would literally be a DLCfest. I could see it

Gaming trends seem to just come and go. We'll probably see more of those kinds of games again in the 2020s, when cinematic games start to die off.

I mean the basic gameplay loop of tony hawk is the same as say Mario 64

Each level has six tapes you need to do some platforming challenge to collect

Dammit, my brother just ordered me THPS5 because he saw a good deal on it.

False.

Shaun Palmer's Pro Snowboarder is literally the Tony Hawk of the snow.

EA doesn't know how to make games that aren't AAA sports games or shooters anymore.
