"I view Tony Hawk as a franchise that we should be exploiting every year forever. I don't see any reason why we can't." - Activision CEO Robert Kotick
"Don't kid yourself-you're gonna see more crappy, cheap, I-wish-I-hadn't-bought-it gimmick games based around that controller than you could ever possibly imagine." -Epic Vice President Mark Rein on the Revolution
"I think you recognize this: It's a cute little movie player that also plays some music." - Peter Moore, corporate VP for the Xbox on the PSP.
I remember seeing those quotes in EGM. That Tony Hawk quote is going to come back and bite them in the ass. Why should I buy a game the company admits is a stale remake just to earn more money?
First one made me map; Thankfully i don't buy tonyhawk games
Don't feed the machine!!!
Psh, you guys have no one blame but the fans of Tony Hawk. In another issue it shows someone from the company that makes Tony Hawk saying (Not exactly, but around this area):
"If you're getting tired of games blame the fans, it's not our fault that the games sell. If Tony Hawk 56 and Mario Party 73 is what gamers want, it doesn't matter to us as long as we add something in the game"
They make games because people want more of it, although a few series really should die (Dynasty Warriors) there are other ones that you should be glad are still around like Final Fantasy or any old school nintendo game.
Well that's true, but it's so rude and usually pisses off anybody listening.
