Activision rejected Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4 in favour of supplementary Call of Duty work, it’s claimed

Activision reportedly rejected a pitch for Tony Hawk’s 3 + 4, preferring Vicarious Visions to work as a Call of Duty support studio.

In a new video from video game historian Liam Robertson, it’s claimed that following the huge success of the first remake, a pitch for a second remake collection was created.

Initially, the first remake, Tony Hawk’s Pro Skate 1 + 2 was planned to include 3 + 4 as well as the first game.

We settled on adding some handling features from the later games to reflect the way people remember the old Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater games. The improvements from 3 seemed to bleed into people’s memories of the first 2,” claimed one Vicarious Visions source to Robertson.

Eventually it became clear that we didn’t have time for more than 1 + 2, so the idea that we’d continue on and release 3+4 in some fashion was on the table.

A pitch for Tony Hawk’s 3+4 was presented to Activision following the commercial and critical success of the first remake, it’s claimed, however, this was declined.

They are the worst company, i hope COD fails one day

Yes, it was known that at some point all Activision teams moved to work on CoD. I assume that means they canned any plans for other titles.

Shame because Tony Hawk 4 is the true gem of the franchise and I was looking forward to that initially

This isn't exactly new news, it's been out there for a long time.
