Tony Hawk is still learning how to make video games

Tony Hawk knows that his last video game, Pro Skater 5, was a flop. The PS4 version has a 32 rating on Metacritic, a site that aggregates review scores from IGN, Game Informer and other media outlets. The PS1 version of Pro Skater 2, for comparison, has a near-perfect 98 rating, while Pro Skater 3 and 4, developed primarily for the PS2, have 97 and 94 scores respectively. Tony Hawk-branded video games have been inconsistent since 2007's Proving Ground, the last title developed by series pioneer Neversoft Entertainment. Tony Hawk: Ride and Shred, which revolved around a physical skateboard peripheral, were a gimmicky mess.
