Whilst enjoying the golden years of his retirement, Mr. Hawk hasn't ben just sitting around you know! He's been developing a time machine, enabling him to go back to his youth and be the skater in his prime that he once was.
The only thing is though, to enable the time machine you have to pull off impossible combo's. If you succeed you go back to the mid ninties. Fail and you go into the future, having to skate in a wheelchair to survive the pink robots which were created to stop extreme skating.
Possibility - 2/10
Yes, the story might be a little on the thin side, and the game might sound like absolute tripe, but it could be the funniest thing the world has ever seen. Think about the ways the old Hawk could fall out of his wheelchair, and the expression he could make whilst frantically pressing the Forward button on his electric wheel chair to get away from the robot's.
They could also give the old hawk power ups - Coffee to make him go slightly faster, Medication to stop him from falling out of his chair as often and Out of date sweets to give to the unsuspecting grandchildren.
We could've well have seen this during the 16 - bit era, but our only hope for this one lies with the GBA
Getting sacked
Tony Hawk's sales have been slipping - Skating games aren't 'in' anymore, and the public don't like the look of Tony Hawk in his latest outing - He's unshaven, fat, lazy and farts every 1/2 hour. The big bad bosses at Activision have to drop the dead donkey and find some new talent quick.
Possibility - 9/10
I hope this day never comes, but I fear it will come within the next 3 games as they are all getting too samey. I love the Hawks games with all my heart, and have owned all of the 4 games so far, and I intend to buy the 5th when it no doubt comes out late next year. Hopefully Activision can find a way to make Hawks game refreshing as they once were, and give the public a thrill.
