Why were there so many Tony Hawk Pro Skater knock offs?
>>12920204Weren't some of these actual THPS engines with new skins?Way better than the Crazy Taxi and GTAIII clones BTW
Because Tony Hawk games made a lot of money and so did everything related to skating, that's the reason, it's that simple.>>12920212Just the Disney Extreme skateboarding one (the one with Pixar and other movie characters, not the one with Mickey and friends)
Was Goofy really considered enough of a sex icon during the early 2000s to warrant featuring his butt on the cover of a videogame in order to promote sales?
>Why were there tons of skateboarding games during the absolute peak of the sport's popularityYeah it really is a mystery.
>>12920219>>12920330I've seen a lot of weird looking skating games, I wanted to make a thread about them
>>12920204had this shit as a kid
>>12920204If you have to ask this, you're not old enough to remember how "in" skateboarding was
>>12920349This game is weird because it's built off thps4 so it plays well but the level design is still shit and stops it from actually being fun
>>12920349Gotta post this then
>>12920906>Japan hires Jonh K for character design and props in the levels>he takes too long to deliver and have to hire someone else to meet the deadline
>>12920204it was one of the most popular games ever.Capcom, konami, sony and akklaim tried to get their own tony hawk.

>>12921037Those two gameboy games predate Tony Hawk's.Tony Hawk games were riding the crest of over a decade of Xtreme sports being popular that began with the surf/skate culture boom in the 1980s. There'd always been skateboarding games, but Activision/Neversoft managed to make something that was close to gaming perfection and appealed to everyone, not just skatefags. They were highly playable and great games regardless of whether you were into that scene or not.
