Sometimes you've just got to laugh. We're sure that Robomodo is working hard on Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 5, and there's no doubt that the Birdman is passionate about the brand – but Activision should really stop releasing screenshots for this upcoming PlayStation 4 sequel now. The original batch looked awful, but since E3 2015 the developer has opted to include a spot of cel-shading, and it's made things worse.
Seriously, just look at these shots. Now, we know what you're thinking, great graphics don't make a good game – but the physics have looked wonky in previous clips, so it's pretty clear that this is a low-budget endeavour across the board. Could it end up great? Of course it could – we hope that we're made to eat our words come release in September. We're not holding our breath, though, and neither should you.

SKATE 4 or gtfo.
Tony Hawk died with pro skater 3. SKATE is a much superior series.
I do agree it's not a pretty game, but I have the lingering feeling that it could be even worse.
the character models looks like the background audience in NBA games... lol
@DerMeister
Everything could always be worse...
@get2sammyb I hope you're not dissing Skate or Die! Lester was the man.
Lemme hear back when we get some game play going, it could look like a walrus butt as long as it's heckin fun.
I hope it ends up great. Not much hope, though... Well... Activision. Anyway, THPS was the only sports game I played back in the days of PS1. I miss that gameplay.
Also, I don't think the graphics look that bad. Perhaps, they may not be as great as other PS4 games, but it's acceptable and nice. The gameplay and animation being fluid and interesting are more important to me.
I prefer to look back at the first three games and remember those, and just forget the horrible mess that followed after that
So these are the screenshots of the 3ds port right?
The backgrounds and some details look like a PS2 game for me.
@sonicmeerkat the gameplay videos are terrible - just look at ... no, don't do it to yourself.
Looks like it's being done on a budget. A tight one.
So disappointed in what is being shown, loved these games when I was little on the PS1.
@hi_drnick You avatar pic is exactly where I believe this game is going.
GOTY. fact.
Maybe it's a brand new ps2 game. Screw your Ps4.
@xX_RiscazZ_Xx that could mean one of two possibilities:
1. It's going to be the best game ever
2. It's going to resemble a car crash
I wonder what happened to this series...
Been playing since #1, and I enjoyed it all the way up through THUG2, but after that... Terrible.
I miss the days when you knew that you were getting a quality, fun game when buying into this series. Especially THPS 2-4. Pure glory.
They need to make a new Skate game... It was loads better than any of the Tony Hawk games.
