In case you haven’t heard, a new Tony Hawk game is out. After years on the backburner, the legendary skateboarder returns with a brand new title for the diehard fans and newcomers with Tony Hawk Pro Skater 5! And it is…not so hot. In fact, it apparently has more bugs than the Louisiana bayou.
As one could expect, people are not happy.

I loved the Tony Hawk series back in the day. So I was about this new one. But it looks like a PS2 game and I'm not wasting 60 bucks.

But who’s got THAT big of a nostalgia boner for Tony Hawk?
they had at least 3 years to make tony hawk 5 (since the release of THPSHD) and it's just a rush job meant to capitalize on brand nostalgia

Do such things even exist?
Wow, I have yet to see a single positive remark about tony hawk 5, RIPIP
— A Pile Of Books (@TNDK_Books) September 29, 2015
Hellllllllll no.
Apparently Tony hawk 5 dropped on x1 today? Did they even have a marketing dept?

Why buy Tony Hawk Pro Skater 5 if you can only barely play it?

Without the day one patch, Tony Hawk 5 does not contain the game. It has a tutorial, the park creator and nothing else.

Yep.

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 5 looks like complete trash and that bums me out so much ):
— Austin Crawford (@Crawfecy) September 29, 2015
sad about how terrible the new tony hawk game looks. those games used to be everything but that era is over

Its at the point where I feel legitimately bad for Tony Hawk the person. He just wants to entertain you with a good game but he can’t.
— Em (@em_being) September 29, 2015
Man, screw activision and screw robomodo. There hasn't been a decent Tony Hawk game in 10 freaking years.
— Games With Dad (@BarbarianViktar) September 29, 2015
tony hawk pro skater played a huge role in my music/game taste development. it's too bad that it's become the sonic of sports games.

If you still have some weird desire to grab Tony Hawk Pro Skater 5 for PS4 or Xbox One, it’s available but maybe consider waiting for some more patches or until the game is on sale . Have you played it? Are there some bright spots in the game? Let us know in the comments below.
