It isn't >_>

It looks like sluggish realism bullshit. I want snappy fast arcade action! Realism is for fucking nerds! Just outside and skateboard for real then!

Seriously, why hasn't anyone tried capitalize on this void that Tony Hawk left behind? <_<

Skateboarding is nowhere as relevant or popular as it used to be, and the gameplay mechanics of THPS (arcadey, score-based gameplay) wouldn't appeal to mainstream audiences as much as it used to.

Is it like the Skate franchise or does it actually try to be more realistic than fun?

I would fucking murder someone if it meant getting a chance to buy a Tony Hawk Underground 1 & 2 collection, combined into one big game.

Too bad the games are in limbo, because every single one uses third party properties, real people, and real licensed music coming out their ass, so the chances of us getting a port are pretty much zero, and even if we did get one it would likely be missing a lot of that stuff :(

A collection of 3 through AW would be amazing. Some of my favorite video games ever.
