Comparing PS1 game to current gen build is maybe not fair, but this particular video makes more than obvious that developers are getting to the roots of the series and maybe we'll finally receive worthy successor of great THPS 2.
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
The launch games were all right, but look at how Virtua Fighter and Daytona USA compared to their re-releases.
THPS 3 was the best one imo.

im getting this strange feeling THPS 5 will end up being a total bomb
I just need revert to manual and to be able to get off the board.
