Tony Hawk Shred, sequel to the much maligned Tony Hawk Ride has had a shocker at retail in the US with first week sales coming in at a little over 3,000 units sold…..ouch.
Be it a lack of advertising, the nasty taste left in the mouth by Ride or the simple fact that it’s just a bit pants, Shred’s shocking early sales could prove the end for the once mighty Tony Hawk franchise.
We know there’s a new Tony Hawk’s in the works, but it should feel like the oldest of entries to the series.
There's a new Tony Hawk game coming?
Cautiously optimistic. I want the series to end on a positive note but the last what like 6 entries have been severely disappointing. Hope this one ends the curse.
I hope they don't blow it. I really liked the earlier games in the series. Then Skate came out and the difference night and day.
Ha, I was thinking the same thing when I read this. I had no idea there was one in the works...you usually here about these things.
Any ways, I haven't truly enjoyed a THPS title since the underground games back during the ps2/xbox/GC era. I hope if they make one, they try to use that same formula that made the first 6 games so fun.
I think the series went downhill when they had all the jackass characters in the game..
I support this article. THPS2 - best Tony Hawk EVAH. The franchise needs to drop the gimmicks and get back to what matters - addictive, thrilling skateboarding.
Move over Lindsay. Step aside Amanda. Miley who? Justin Bieber is everyone’s favorite train wreck celebrity of the day and just like he’s gone off track so have these 4 franchises that used to have gamer’s wallets at their mercy…. and now, they’re just sad and broken.
America can keep him. Us Canadians don't want him back. He makes me ashamed to live so close to where he's from...
First.. How does "the name that will not be said" have to do with gaming? STAHP IT.. JUST STAHP.
Second.. This kid needs a real attitude adjustment. Let the U.S. lock him up in jail/prison.. He'll learn some humility
I'm really trying to understand where all the hate for this article is coming from. He is absolutely right about every one of those games. Maybe not in that particular order and maybe they don't all deserve to be in the top 5 but all those game franchises have really started to go drastically downhill. Could anyone please explain to me why all the hate?
@johndoe11211
We're not talking about the list or the author. We're talking about Justin Bieber, or as like to call him: "You-Know-Who"
Anyways, I say we toss him into the fires of Mount Doom.
@KillrateOmega
Oh damn, lol. Thanks for the clarification. In that case, what everyone else said.
We don't want him. America broke him, and there is a no return policy up here in the north.
Alright cool...but we're keeping Ryan Gosling. Can we get Rob Ford too? He's the closest thing we'll ever get to a real life Mayor Quimby!
@logic
I'm waiting for CBC to patent the Rob Ford story and make a sitcom. It pretty much writes itself.
I hate to say it but it was Britain that broke him, he left running vowing never to return. What you need to do is copy what the brits did and he will run like the wind across the canadian border
No, he was a flawed gift from the get go. Yall screwed us on this and nothing can ever forgive this slight! YOU WILL RUE THIS DAY!!!
Gears of War number 1... Seriously?
@Colts_15 I did, Gears of War is number 1... Did you even read the article?
