Tony Hawk: Shred sells 3,000 in first week - Report

Instead of a Tony Hawk game, how about the game teaching people how to snowboard instead.

Please Tony Hawk and Activision, let Neversoft do all the work again and do a fallow up on Proving Ground, Underground or Pro Skater.

Despite these lackluster sales, they'll probably just keep making them, lol. And they'll keep sucking and sucking. Tony Hawk and Activision just don't get it do they?

@JDizzle702 They're trying to repair the damage Ride inflicted on the series.

The Tony Hawk series is horrible now that you need to use the stupid board.. I was hoping Shred would at least get rid of the board..

The DJ Hero games are actually really fun. The Tony Hawk games suck though.

Good.

DJ Hero is not fun. It's not fun to scratch on a turntable. Blur sells more than both these games combined and they abandon the studio, I'm sure they will still try to force us into a DJ Hero 3 and a Tony Hawk Surf & Skate next year.

That's about 3000 too many.

I think we need to have an official Tony Hawks Pro Skater 5 now. They can't keep losing money like this, no matter how much support Tony has for the idea. They need to pull a Sonic and get back to the basics.

@kekejefferis YES!!! Kids should just buy a real skateboard than this crap. You nailed it buddy.

They should drop the tony hawk name and keep the engine, then add online multiplayer. I want to beat people with my skateboard after an epic grind. Also, it needs space levels and underwater levels.

maybe tony should of looked at the product in a consumer's point of view instead of a skater's then he would of realised it was a terrible idea from the start.

Suprised it managed to sell even that much. Series should just be left to die off, Tony Hawks is hardly in the lime light of skateboarding culture. Meaning the only people that would care about this rubbish is little kids or parents that just dont understand what they are buying. Save the money and just buy another game or a real skateboard.

Funny this is the first time I actually ever heard of this game and I read crap on this site everyday. Is this what Bobby Kotick was referring to when he talked about taking the soul out of video games? This series died ten years ago, Activision needs to let it go. And as far as Tony Hawk goes, he's a has-been as much as the series that bares his name. What a sell out, thanks Tony for single handily ruining skateboard culture. He never had the talent of Christian Hossi, and he never will.

its hard to believe that 3000 people bought this crap...lol.

Talk about milking a dead cow!!

Call of Duty please take note.

@blangenakker no not really :P

i just want to play as loads of pro skaters doing what they do best

make th undergroung 3!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!..................or else go to hell

Wait what? They made a new one?

If they just remade tony hawks 3 or 4 in HD with extended challenges, move sets, stages and perhaps some thrown in skate videos and bails. I'd be sold. The arcade fun of Tony Hawks may not hold a torch to the realism of Skate, but damn its still fun.

last year i saw parents buying Ride for there kids, i wanted so badly to talk them out of it but i didn't... i feel terrible for not trying to.

Activision should die with this crap they pull out every year. They never cared about their products and the ppl who puts food in their table "US".

Yes please make a surf game. Each bomb has to be more spectacular than the last!

Activision will be hurting during its next earnings reveal. Despite the fact that COD sold well (it always does) nothing else seemed to move that well at all, meaning they are going to be hundreds of millions short of where they probably expected to be. Might be a good time to unload some Activision stock.

I'd like to think that kids didn't buy the game because they're actually outside doing the real thing. But we all know the truth of the matter is people would rather just shoot stuff. You think Tony Hawks an you think old.. It used to be good, but theres only so much you can do on a board. "Tony Hawks Surfboarding" anyone?

they are boring games, god how many tony hawks games need to be made befire it gets boring .....2

We must hit this zombie franchise in the head with a shovel, and then decapitate it.

maybe codemasters should be making TH games from now on, then it will be as awesome as DIRT 2...

Guide to Success: 1. Give the Tony Hawk series back in the hands of Neversoft. 2. Make Tony Hawks Pro Skater 5. 3. Possibly a HD remake of Tony Hawks Pro Skater. or Stop continually killing the Tony Hawk series which I used to enjoy so much.

Its what happens when they release the same game with a mildly different title every year. Work on it longer, an release one every 2-3 years. Worked for Halo and Gran Turismo.

they still make TH games?

I gave up playing TH games after proving ground. The only thing that was cool about that game was the soundtrack. Thats about it.

People still buy this crap?

If someone told me a few years ago that the Tony Hawk franchise would be in this state its currently in I would have laughed. Oh how the mighty has fallen. This report should sent a warning to Activision that milking a franchise is not a good idea. for the long run. The same could happen one day to Call of Duty.

Maybe they should add killstreaks to help sales?

Really more Tony hawk games i just remeber play one on PSone for 15 minutes and never played again

Sounds like some ground breaking sales

Maybe the game and the peripherals will get dumped in a landfill like all those E.T. games did back in the day. That would give me a good laugh.

you'd think with 336 million dollars we wont have to pay for additional mappacks.....what does the future hold???

Wow. What morons bought that game? I wouldn't want it if it was free.

When You have a warehouse full of Plastic $100 Skateboards you got to do something....

Hopefully, the same thing happens to the Call of Duty franchise starting next year so that Activision will finally be forced to adopt new IPs instead of rehashing the same franchises over and over.

Eventually all of Activision's milking will mean that COD sales will only help them break even.

That game came out already?

people dont want a fake skateboard, i would say most people that like tony hawk games dont know how to skate in real life, so why would the game be fun for them, if they wanted to learn they would buy a real skateboard. after th p8 the games sucked. they should just remake tony hawk pro skater 1, 2 and 3 for the current systems, and put it all in one disc or something, I think that would sell more than 3,000 lol.

and pro skater 4

Looks like they're running out of milk...
