Activision reportedly rejected a pitch for Tony Hawk’s 3 + 4, preferring Vicarious Visions to work as a Call of Duty support studio.

The games got so bad, especially compared to the skate series that it’s not a loss at all

What are you talking about? Many would say THPS3 is the series peak.

Dang, I played a lot of THPS2, THPS4, and THUG. I always hear those mentioned, but not so much THPS3. Is it that good?

It’s still got the the 2 minute loop through a level like 1 and 2 but without the money mechanic of 2 and 4 (which I’d say its omission is an improvement). And while Tony Hawk games had to go somewhere after THPS3, I believe 4 is the one where they got rid of the 2 minute loop, which is where the series lost some of what made it so great, IMO. Plus, the levels were an appropriate amount of bananas, and it’s hard not to get hype doing tricks as Darth Maul while listening to “Ace of Spades”.
