tl;dw: Activision had plans for THPS 3+4 before 1+2 was even released. But then Activision couldn't help being Activision and merged Vicarious Visions with Blizzard to help with their games.

https://www.gamesindustry.biz/articles/2021-01-22-vicarious-visions-merged-into-blizzard

Then Activision shopped THPS3+4 with other developers but weren't satisfied with their pitches and decided to cancel it.

Fucking just kill me now >_> We were so close!!

Activision was hellbent on turning every good thing they had into a CoD studio.

I really like 3 and 4.

But until I get a full blown remake of Tony Hawk's Underground, which has one of the best stories (I did like T.H.U.G. 2 and American Wasteland, but they were really arcadey, and lacked some of the qualities of T.H.U.G. 1, I miss the create a park/goal mode. I built levels that told stories), I'm not that interested.

Create-a-goal was in THUG2 and had even more options. THAW was when they removed it cuz Activision was being slave drivers with the annual releases and Neversoft had to cut corners to make the deadline.

THUG2 probably had the most content in the series. It had so much shit to do and create in it

THPS3 is the most nostalgic for me. I only played the demo of 1 on my Dreamcast I think. And I think I played THPS2 on N64 on a Blockbuster rental. But my aunt who owned a PS2 had THPS3 and I spent many hours on it with my cousin and I think my sister might have even played it a little.

I think THPS3 had the best collection of levels in the series, not to mention all the awesome secret characters to play as and fun movies to watch. It's definitely my favorite in the series.

My favourite thing about 3 (other than the Canada and Airport levels) was the fact that you could do your own custom soundtrack on the XBox (I loved that feature back in the day).

You can't get more early-2000s than playing THPS with a massive XBox controller to the sounds of Lifehouse, Goo Goo Dolls and Counting Crows, haha.

mmm...maybe I played the wrong version then? I specifically remember being pissed that THUG 2 had no create a goal and lacked some options in favor of more expanded park options (which didn't make sense, imo). You could make a map and set some shit up, but...I don't remember npc dialog boxes or goals. Unless I overlooked something?

Damn, that's awesome. I forget Xbox used to let you play your own soundtracks in some of the games. Does it still do that or no?

You definitely overlooked something lol. You could create-a-goal in the main levels as well as create-a-park. I made a shit ton as a kid and it's still on my memory card in my Gamecube in my parent's closet somewhere

Unsure, not had a MS console since that first one. It was a great feature, though.

Hurts me that I'll never get to play those games again unless I can dig up a PS2.

I honestly can't see why I'd ever buy a full-price Activision game again. I don't even need to boycott. There's jack shit to give a fuck about.

What they did to all those studios after everyone loved the various revivals is shameful.

I think that was just a rumor. Maybe after 3+4 fell through, Activision was gonna shove some 3 levels in there instead before *that* fell through too? No one really knows except Tony >_>

Truth be told I'm surprised they didn't just bolt THPS3 onto 1+2 as a really fat DLC expansion. 3 and 4 differ too wildly to combine into a single game, IMO.

Agreed. I understand why they'd bundle them (I think the next game is THUG which is even more different than 4, though the bones are in the latter) but everything from the tone to the level design is just so different from 1-3 to 4. Mind you, 4 is an awesome game but it always seemed "different" from the games that came before and after it, even if there are elements of both types in it.
