Six screenshots from Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 5
Activision formally announced Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 5 today, following the exclusive unveiling of the game a few days ago in Game Informer. This means we have access to the official screenshots now - which are available here for your viewing pleasure.
"Skateboarding has always been about the freedom of ripping with your friends, and creating a game that captures that feeling has been a vision of mine since the Pro Skater series began over 15 years ago", said Tony Hawk. "I'm beyond excited to see that dream finally come true with Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 5, which takes the old-school attitude of the original games online in a big way."
As you might have guessed Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 5 is a return to the roots of the series (it's actually been 13 years since Pro Skater 4), some controversy has arisen as there will be projectile power-ups, but the focus is firmly on old school trickery.
Pro named in the press release are Tony Hawk, Nyjah Huston, Riley Hawk, Aaron "Jaws" Homoki, Ishod Wair, Leticia Bufoni, Chris Cole, David Gonzalez, Andrew Reynolds, and Lizzie Armanto. You will also be able to create your own skater (naturally) and there's a great deal of focus on the online component this time around.
Development of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 5 is a collaborative effort between Robomodo and Disruptive Games - the latter with leadership that has experience from Neversoft and Insomniac Games.
