Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 5 Sackboy PS4 PlayStation 4 PS3
"Do we have to be in this one?"

Sony's continuing to pimp out some of its popular protagonists, with the awful-looking Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 5 being the latest game to take the bait. Writing on the PlayStation Blog, developer Robomodo has confirmed that Sweet Tooth, Ratchet, and Sackboy will all be donning their elbow pads and hitting the half-pipe in Activision's forthcoming sequel – exclusively on the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3.

Sadly, the characters will be represented in head-form only, so you'll have to make do with your avatar's usual Atticus t-shirts and To Write Love on Her Arms tattoos. It doesn't sound like you'll have to do anything to obtain the extras, though – they'll be included for free with all PlayStation versions of the game. There are no screenshots of the masks in motion just yet – but considering how ugly this outing looks in general, that's probably for the best.
