New Tony Hawk game to be revealed May 15
by Justin McElroy 
{ May 11th 2009 at 2:50PM } 
There was a time when we journalists had to go digging through people's trashcans to get the hot scoop. Now, our news is hand delivered to us by the Twitter feeds of celebrities. This is truly a great era.Tony Hawk just Tweeted that his latest game would be revealed on the May 15 episode of GameTrailers TV, saying, "I have been harboring the secret long enough." Yeah, another Tony Hawk game is being made. We're so glad he could get that off his chest. Can't imagine the burden.
Speaking of "really well kept secrets", we figure there's a good chance he's talking about Tony Hawk Adrenaline, the possibly Balance Board-based, non-Neversoft title due out this year. ... Now Tony, what's the secret, exactly?
[Thanks, Marcus]

Oh my god! Thank you so much Tony! I really was worried as to whether or not they were working on another Tony Hawk game. I wonder if retirement homes will be available as skating environments now that the Skate series has totally owned you!

This series needs to go back to it roots. I would also welcome an xbla or psn THPS 3 or 4. Keep it simple and fun. No stupid career mode with dildo voice acting from dildos like Bam.

Can you vote down a comment enough that it becomes completely invisible?
DeepFriedSushi @ May 11th 2009 4:45PM
we shall see.

My LCD screen has poor enough viewing angles than I can tilt my head and pretend there's nothing there.
Manly Mcbeefington (Mr. ESC) @ May 11th 2009 10:33PM
We can try :)
WRE @ May 11th 2009 2:56PM
Why do people buy skateboarding games that aren't called "Skate or Die!"?
playwhutyalike @ May 11th 2009 2:58PM
Dude you just blew my fucking mind.
THE WICKER MAN (BWF) (GT: Dalek Prime) @ May 11th 2009 3:00PM
Lol Sk8 or Die.
uncle jesse @ May 11th 2009 3:00PM
Everyone knows they have to be named 'Sk8 or Die' to be cool, duh.
butaneko @ May 11th 2009 3:46PM
I just played sk8 or die 2 on Friday. I forgot what a turd that game is.
sk8... or... die...Sk8 or die, die die die die die die die

don't forget california games, sidewalks have never been so dangerous.
butaneko @ May 11th 2009 3:52PM
T&C was the original shit
720 in the arcade
Ridgecity @ May 11th 2009 4:35PM
T&C was freekin hard. Not even donkey kong's help made the game any easier.
MaxisReed @ May 11th 2009 3:01PM
Don't hate. THPS revolutionized 3D skating. Even though the series has tanked since THUG, that doesn't mean they can't create something great again. Thank FSM they stopped the "new game a year" BS that plagues Madden.

correction: THUG2
that game was awesome. the series went downhill after that.
Foetoid @ May 11th 2009 6:00PM
..until Tony Hawk Downhill Jam on the Wii came out. As someone who's finished every single console TH game, Downhill Jam on Wii is easily my favourite!
THE Ezio Auditore de Firenze (PSN slycooper_rocker) @ May 11th 2009 6:30PM
...
you're joking right? RIGHT?
Maulok @ May 11th 2009 3:13PM
At last, I can end my hunger strike.
Pro Skater 1-3 was amazing. Once 4 rolled around and I was Iron Man skateboarding at a Kiss concert, the game lost is relevance.
Storm Eagle @ May 11th 2009 3:16PM
I'm goin hungryyyyy....going hunGRYYYY!!!!!!!
butaneko @ May 11th 2009 3:40PM
LOL Iron Man skating at a KISS concert. I forgot about that level!
sjs2626 @ May 11th 2009 4:48PM
No, THPS 4 wasn't the one with Iron Man and KISS, that was THUG 1. THPS 4 was actually pretty good.
THE Ezio Auditore de Firenze (PSN slycooper_rocker) @ May 11th 2009 5:44PM
thps4 had jango fett.
JANGO JUMP JET!!!
Von Dozier @ May 11th 2009 6:14PM
That's THUG1.
THUG1 is also the best TH ever made.
candafilm @ May 11th 2009 3:15PM
It will be interesting to see what they bring to the table now that Skate and Skate 2 have done well. Hopefully the competition brings innovation.
MystileArmor @ May 11th 2009 3:19PM
I'm gonna be just like Activision and milk my joke dry!
Guitar Hero: Tony Hawk!
343 Guilty Fart @ May 11th 2009 3:22PM

The Baron @ May 11th 2009 3:46PM

Shmil @ May 11th 2009 5:13PM
What about Tony 3: Finish the Hawk
Manly Mcbeefington (Mr. ESC) @ May 11th 2009 10:35PM
Don't forget Rabbid Tony:Party Hawxs!
B3astofthe3ast @ May 11th 2009 3:21PM
Is Neversoft still developing or are they too tied up with the bajillion GH's coming out this year??
Brazell @ May 11th 2009 3:22PM
surprise of surprises.
Letters2Kay @ May 11th 2009 3:25PM
Tony Hawk Hero! Skateboard peripheral, FTW.
I'll pass. Skate is the new-school...
yenrab @ May 11th 2009 3:35PM
Where is the next Dave Mirra bmx game? Or just a "Skate-esq" next-gen BMX game in general?
Not that you would know Tony.
butaneko @ May 11th 2009 3:43PM
Word, I really dug Mirra and Mat Hoffman. I guess BMX XXX was so shameful the development team burned the studio and disbanded
butaneko @ May 11th 2009 3:48PM
A balance board Tony Hawk game is not on. Just rip off Skate's control scheme and make a bigger and better world. I'd buy that.
Ryan @ May 11th 2009 3:48PM
More like Tony Fawk-off.
YO @ May 11th 2009 4:02PM
yea tony fell off,THPS2 was the high point in the series,skate runs tings now end of
Cena @ May 11th 2009 4:03PM
Spoiler: It's a first-person shooter set in the Pokemon universe, where Tony must save Rune Glifberg from the evil Team Sk8torz and their Skate Canon, which will blast the world and create a new one for skaters everywhere using the Rune, an artifact that Gilfberg held for years.
And his partner? A wisecracking Aipom. That talks in skater slang. Exclusively.
The Baron @ May 11th 2009 6:14PM
I'm sure a game with at least half of those elements must already have been made.
Dv8thwonder @ May 11th 2009 4:11PM
If they really want to get the fans attentions again, they need to release the Wii version with balance board compatibilty and Nintendo character cameos.

Mario
Pikachu
Samus

MystileArmor @ May 11th 2009 4:20PM
Yeah cause real skateboard fantatics want to play as a monkey, a plumber, a green elf and a pink ball...
(not dissing the Nintendo franchises, cause they're awesome, but not in a skateboard game)
THE Ezio Auditore de Firenze (PSN slycooper_rocker) @ May 11th 2009 8:38PM
super skate bros. brawl?
Blake @ May 11th 2009 4:12PM
is it called 'Tony Hawk: Jumping the Shark'?
Shmil @ May 11th 2009 5:19PM
That was THUG
Saria the Cat @ May 11th 2009 4:25PM
I used to love THPS...in middle school. I don't know, each installment just feels like the same game over and over again. Or maybe I've just grown out of my tomboy phase.
pibs @ May 12th 2009 3:45PM
I guess I grew out of my tomboy phase too.
Nope that wouldn't make sense.
mortegro545 @ May 11th 2009 4:40PM
Do I sense some.. hostility here?
