Although we have a remake of Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4 Undoubtedly, Activision canceled the game. The publisher felt that developer Vicarious Visions would earn much more as a supporting studio for Call of Duty.
The news comes from British researcher and expert in gaming history Liam Robertson. According to Robertson, developer Vicarious Visions pitched Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4 to Activision after the huge success of the first bundle. Surprisingly enough, it was refused.
Robertson reveals that the first remake bundle would initially also include the remake of parts 3 and 4. When it became clear that the project would become too extensive, Vicarious disconnected 3+4 and kept it for the second remake collection.
However, after the release of the first bundle, Activision decided to make Vicarious Visions a supporting studio for Call of Duty. The studio was also used to collaborate on the Diablo 2 remake.
Activision considered having the Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4 game developed by another studio, but ultimately the project was simply abandoned.
Shame or not?
