Gameinformer:
Putting to rest months of cryptic tweets from Tony Hawk, Activision and developer Robomodo have officially announced Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 5 – a return to the classic gameplay of the series' heyday.
The game is slated to come out on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One later in the year, with PS3 and Xbox 360 versions following shortly thereafter.

WTMG's Leo Faria: "I jumped into Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 5 expecting a trainwreck, but all I got instead was yet another showcase of Activision dropping a rushed piece of uninspired shovelware just to take advantage of an expiring license. It never felt laughably terrible, just aggressively mediocre and soulless. Whilst I don’t agree with the universally rock-bottom scores (it runs well and I guess the controls could have been worse), I totally get why the franchise would go dormant for a few years after the release of this disaster of a game. As of 2025, the Tony Hawk franchise is going strong, with the recent release of Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4 to scratch our millennial itch. It’s relieving to know that the franchise did not end with Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 5."

A little more time in the oven would've done these products some good a lot sooner.
Sega Saturn made it but not the 360. Don't remember Saturn having a horrid rrod rate. Absolutely horrid
Yes! I loved the Tony Hawk Pro Skater series, finally we're getting THP5! Cant wait to play it on my PS4
Cross gen needs to stop now.
Also, this looks really rough and sounds terrible. Shoot projectiles? WTF.
I'm usually pretty optimistic about software, but my hype is completely deflated for this title as of now.
I love Tony Hawk games. I hope this can bring back that classic gameplay from the earlier games.
Oh boy
everything old is new again
It sounds and looks like Pro Skater HD 2 but with new levels. Too bad I was hoping it would be more like Underground 1 and 2 which was the actual best in the series gameplay wise. It seems this game will bring the outdated gameplay from the original pro skaters and pro skater hd. I remember in Underground there was a firefight mode which was pretty fun online but I'm not so sure that shooting projectiles during missions will be that fun. Also I think Underground got the story/mission mix just right. Just doing repetitive missions on every level like all the pro skater games is not that fun.
