Hawk’s statement essentially means that despite Vicarious wanting to continue working on the IP, it was ultimately Activision Blizzard who pulled the plug, even though they ended up looking at proposals from outside sources in the end anyway. “The truth of it is that (Activision) were trying to find somebody to do 3 + 4 but they just didn’t really trust anyone the way they did Vicarious, so they took other pitches from other studios,” Hawk said “And they didn’t like anything they heard, and then that was it.” “And then Vicarious got kind of absorbed, and then they were looking for other developers, and then it was over.” Hawk also mentioned that Activision, the ones who made the decision to have Vicarious merge with Blizzard, took proposals from other studios for the potential remakes, but were not impressed by any of them. “That was the plan even up until the release day of ( Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1+2), we were going 3 + 4,” Hawk said. Hawk asserts that Vicarious Visions’ plan was to keep going forward with the remakes, especially after seeing how successful Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1+2 was. Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4 remasters were in the works but they were scrapped after Vicarious Visions was merged into Blizzard.
