New Tony Hawk Suffers Humiliating Launch

[Calico93]

Shame, well kinda, I loved the old tony hawks games, guess all franchises eventually die out, YES THATS RIGHT ACTIVISION.

I never even knew this was out/being released. Meh them days have gone.

 

[ComicsAreWeird]

Well, i guess almost no one knew the game was coming out! I know I didnt!

Shitty marketing will be your doom in such a competitive market.

 

[The Hive Mind]

Just wait for the next Guitar Hero/Rock Band game to come out if you think THIS is abysmal...

 

[eelel]

Where was this game advertised?

 

[Tim Latshaw]

I never really saw this game prominently displayed in stores. There would just be a few board and game packages in some dark, unpopulated corner, and anyone who saw those probably thought "Ride" and backed away.

 

[Estocavio]

I honestly didnt even know this existed.

 

[dalek sec]

Oh God, Someone reminded me of the N-Gage! QUICK SOMEONE KILL ME D:

*trains las pistol on your head* Goodbye D:

Eh, I wish I could care about this but I just can't. You know you're screwed when the piece of crap known as the N-Gage sold better than your game.

 

[Gamegodtre]

I didn't even know this game existed...

It's their fault for shitty marketing.

no no no the fault lies in shitty game making

 

[BreakfastMan]

There was a new Tony hawk game? I thought the series had died with Ride. Evidently I was wrong.

 

[Cpt_Oblivious]

I didn't even know this was being made, let alone released. Maybe their marketing had something to do with it.

 

[Ne1butme]

I never saw any reviews for this game at all. Nothing on Escapist, nothing on Kotaku or Gametrailers. Talk about a soft launch

 

[Gamegodtre]

Oh God, Someone reminded me of the N-Gage! QUICK SOMEONE KILL ME D:

"gets out sword"
(now i have to get the blood off my sword)
on a serious note why did they make a sequel to the horrible selling first one?

 

[jackanderson]

Wait a minute... there is a new Tony Hawk's? I thought that it'd been taken around the back of the shed and shot after the dismal Ride?

 

[RoyalWelsh]

Huh, this is the first i've heard of a new Tony Hawk game. 3,000 units sold on all three consoles is simply terrible.

 

[Fr]anc[is]

Damn... that's gotta hurt. I guess everybody has had their fill of skateboarding games. 3 was a blast though.

 

[EightGaugeHippo]

There was a new tony hawks game???

 

[Mr. Socky]

I didn't even know that they were making a new one, and I read half a dozen game sights a day, in addition to reading Gameinformer magazine. When a marketing budget is that bad....

 

[TimeLord]

3,000 units across 3 units in North America during its first week of sales.

Wow. Something tells me there won't be another one.

 

[SextusMaximus]

I didn't even know this game existed...

It's their fault for shitty marketing.

Agreed, I don't know anybody who's ever even heard of this. Extremely poor marketing indeed.
