Posts about Vicarious Visions
Tony Hawk talks about it in this stream (02:26:25): https://www.twitch.tv/andythps/v/1509257960?sr=a&t=8784s
Vicarious Visions were planning Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3+4 remake before the release of 1+2. But were later closed by Activision and merged with Blizzard.
Activision later were looking for other studios but didn't trust any of them to provide the quality that VV did. Even after hearing different pitches for TH games nothing came of it.
Utterly heartbreaking news for fans of the Tony Hawk games, Vicarious Visions created one of the only well received games in the franchise in over 15 years, plus one of the best remakes for a game that we've seen recently.
Seems the series is stuck in limbo again.
According to Tony Hawk himself here: https://www.twitch.tv/andythps/v/1509257960?sr=a&t=8784s
He said that 3+4 was planned, Vicarious Visions got disbanded and became part of Blizzard, so the game didn't got made by them. Activision tried to find another studio but they couldn't find anyone good enough to make the game. Then Activision heard pitches for other THPS games by other studios and apparently nothing interesting enough
Hi. Welcome to r/crashbandicoot.

Below is a collection of responses from Crash Bandicoot's biggest fans. We want you to know what we like about what we've seen. We would also like you to know what we think could use a little tweaking. So please, use this as a resource. All of us want the "N. Sane Trilogy" to be an "N. Stant" hit โ ha!
Thank you again for bringing back the bandicoot.
