They need to get rid of that Bam Margera 13 year old juvenile crap and turn Pro Skater back into a respectable skating game series again.
The last game had you spraying graffiti, and riding a turbo charged scooter thing. WTF? That isn't Tony Hawks! In Underground theres a mission where you have to drive a car - WTH?
But turning it into a kids game isn't the way to go about it.
And it's far from a complete skating experience. Instead of inventing gimmicks like these stupid Bam Margera/Jackass missions, and having his fat dad in a nappy as a secret character, they should spend time tweaking the skating, adding new moves and variants that have yet to be implemented.
They had the Manual in 2, the Revert in 3, The Spine Transfer/Cancel in 4 and with the Undergournd series it seems to have slowed down.

that'll be the computer games industry treating skateboarding as a kids pastime...the same thing that computer games industry hates being thought of as by mainstream society...ironic to the max
personally i love the tony hawks games but haven't played either of the underground games
still think that TH3 was the best...especially the video for rodney mullen...that guy has an unnatural sense of balance

Adding some moves late in Tony Hawk's series will mean nothing to peopel who buy it. It needs a complete change in gameplay, not some tweaking. I know Underground is childish but its skateboarding.
The gameplay is stale as shit now. How many times do you have to collect skate and get this many points. They needed to have some sort of story mode or somethign different and considering Tony Hawk isnt a realistic game, it would look kinda of funny if it was some emotional story.
Its skateboarding, you can only do so much.
Hey, RedSuperfly, you need to lay off, ok? These games are very good, and Bam gives them definate flavor. Bam is doing things you wish you could do, and that's why you call him 13, and juvenilistic. Maybe you should stop being so Juvenilistic yourself with making fun of others (you know, like we did in 1st grade all the way through 6th grade) and grow up!

Err....since when did I insult anyone?
Don't get on a high horse when there's nothing there.
WTH?

I could easily go smash some stuff up and assault my parents, while being a complete tool and make some average skating videos, and sell them on to wannabe punk kids with more dandruff than brains.
But I'm not a whore.
yeah, i think hes alot like jessica simpson in the fact you have to be kinda smart to be such an idiot, he managed to cash in and make a f*ck load of money for just f*cking around and smashing things. hey, i'd love to be able to be rich for going "i want to put tony hawk into a chicken suit, then play human bowling off a ramp into a lake!"
im not one for complaining about videogames, and i wasnt one to be a big fan of tony hawk to begin with, but the addition of bam just blew my hope for me ever liking the series right out the window.
the fact that i dont find his acts or stunts amusing in the slightest is a big thing to do with it, and that "viva la bam" show whatever its called is one of the worst things ive seen on TV.
I agree with superfly, bring it back to what it was, and can the bam.
