Tony Hawk hints at VGA reveal of another game (probably with his name on it)
The Tony Hawk video game franchise hasn’t wiped out completely — it’s just had a few years of practice sans padding or helmet.
“I’ll be announcing the upcoming release of something new on Sat; the same day as the Spike Video Game Awards,” Pro skateboarder Tony Hawk wrote on Twitter. “Coincidence? I think not.”
The Tony Hawk franchise is currently hurting after two years of software that desperately tried to legitimize a skateboard peripheral. The last iteration, Shred, sold a mere 3,000 units in its first week. For comparison’s sake, DJ Hero 2 sold 59,000 copies in its first two weeks of availability and Activision took that franchise out … to a nice farm, where it can play around and roam free.
