For gamers of the late '90s and early 2000s, the Tony Hawk Pro Skater series was a phenomenon. Not only had we never seen an extreme sports games be so well realized, but each new iteration added so many new elements that it felt like the dawning of a new era of gaming. For many, this series was the first introduction we had to level editing, online play and open world gameplay.
How did these games come together? How was such a simple concept expanded on while maintaining quality? The man himself, Tony Hawk, sent out a tweet telling us that a documentary about the series was in the works. YouTuber Icebears4ever is directing the video, along with input from former Neversoft Producer Ralph D'Amato. Ralph worked on all of the games up to Project 8, so he is well versed in the history of this series.
