THPS 5 was considered by most to be a clearly rushed and unpolished title, just there to wring some last cash out of the license before putting the game series to bed. Activision’s license to use the Tony Hawk name expired in 2015, coinciding with the release of Tony Hawk Pro Skater 5. The publisher Activision signed a massive multi-year license to produce games in the Tony Hawk series and released a game in the series almost every year from 1999 to 2010. It took off like a rocket, with huge sales success, and helped make Tony Hawk himself become a household name.Īs with any massive hit product, the company behind them wanted to milk it for all it was worth. It nailed the vibe of the sub-culture, with music, fashion and an offbeat sense of humor pitched just right. The original Tony Hawk Pro Skater hit at just the right time, where the underground professional skating scene was about to break into the mainstream. Gamers of a certain age will no doubt remember the time when skating hit big in the late 90s and early 2000s.
