Tony Hawk Syndrome

Referring to a videogame that comes out every year with a new installment but is more of the same and not much has changed or has improved. Starting with Tony Hawk games, Activison kept pumping out every year and nothing changed and the quality of the game went down. And such is the fate of other games that follow this trend.

Jim: "So Tom, are you going to get the new Call of Duty game?"

Tom: "No, I don't think so, that franchise is suffering from Tony Hawk Syndrome because it is more of the same, only difference is the story and setting."

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater

A series of skateboarding video games published by Activision and developed by Neversoft from 1999-2007, with Robomodo developing 4 games from 2009 to 2015. The games developed by Neversoft, especially those from the 5th and 6th generation, are often looked upon fondly by gamers and are regarded as some of the greatest video games of all time, due to their easy-to-learn controls, addictive gameplay, legendary soundtracks, and in later games, captivating storylines. Robomodo took over the series in 2009 when Activision put Neversoft on Guitar Hero and Call of Duty, and the final 4 games aren't remembered as fondly. Ride and Shred were notoriously bad due to their ridiculously high launch prices, unresponsive motion controls, and bland maps. In 2012 and 2015, Robomodo tried going back to the series' roots, with the classic gameplay and control scheme of the original games. Pro Skater HD received mixed reviews due to its limited map selection and wonky physics engine, but it was nowhere near as bad as Pro Skater 5, which released in 2015. THPS5 was panned for containing plenty of glitches, constant crashing, bland maps, terrible physics, clunky mechanics, a limited Create-a-Skater mode, and having to download a massive day one patch that still didn't resolve any of the game's issues. It was later revealed that the game was rushed due to Activision's contract with Tony Hawk coming to an end in 2015, and the contract was never extended.

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater is one of the greatest video game franchises of all time. While its lows were very low indeed, the best games in the series gained massive critical acclaim and are still considered among the most successful products of the video game industry.
