Did this game kill extreme sports?
No, you still had a good couple years of Skating and BMX games, among others.
>>12536519No, this did.
Tony Hawk 3 was the peak and 4, while still a great Tony Hawk game, was more of the same rather than continuing to get better with each entry.
>>12536519No. GTA San Andreas, SpongeBob and anime killed skating. All of a sudden absolutely everyone was inside staring at their TV with their preference of the 3 playing so no one was learning how to skate.
>>12536546>GTA San Andreas, SpongeBob and anime killed skating.GTA was a popular as fuck for years before SA. And spongebob was only good from 99-2003. Kids were watching Toonami way before 2004.i understand your argument, but the examples given are retarded. You could at least mention Halo 2 or online console gaming becoming a thing. Cuz that definitely killed most teens time, and younger siblings wanting to play online too. There is no bigger time sink than online gaming.
>>12536519Nah MTV killed it
>>12536536>4, while still a great Tony Hawk game, was more of the same rather than continuing to get better with each entry.4 was better.How do games like this "get better?" You can either make bigger maps with better lines everywhere (like 4) or you add a story and a bunch of RPG elements.It was the perfect refinement of the genre (3-THUG) and adding more only took away from what made it great.
>>12536587>gta was already popularSan Andreas was most popular, sold more copies, more people playing>SpongeBob was only goodIt was never good, and it being good has nothing to do with the amount of people that are watching>toonamiNot toonami, anime was becoming widely available to anyone, not just the limited selection of trash on tv. Weeks were being given the keys to the garbage dump with the advent of the internet. This website even factors in with the surge in anime popularity.>an Xbox exclusive gameMore copies of San Andreas were sold than xbox systems. Your post is stupid, based entirely off your feelings.
>>12536705I got into anime because of Gundam Wing in '00-01 and Tenchi on Toonami. It's pretty common. Before the internet it was the occasional VHS with 3 episodes half way through a season or Pokemon.
>>12536705>It was never goodspongebob is basically nickelodeon's simpsons. just because you didn't like it doesn't mean many many others didn't either.
>>12536591No, rap did. The kids following those subcultures became wiggers.
>>12536719>rap killed extreme sportsincel screeching>The kids following those subcultures became wiggers.no they fucking didn't lmao they got old and had families. sk8boarding is for your teens/20s.
>>12536873>incelyou weren't alive.

Extreme sports games killed themselves, after 2001 or so there was only room for skateboard and BMX games, and then there was only room for tony hawk, and then Skate killed hawk, and then hawk killed the entire genre with peripheral bullshit, but that's not retro.Razor freestyle had nothing to do with it and no one gave a single shit about that game until Jontron knockoffs started covering it and meming on it.
