Tony Hawk: Where Did It All Start?
Sure, we know that developer Neversoft never stops with those Tony Hawk games. And now that they've got the Tony Hawk license until 2015, it doesn't look like they'll be letting up anytime soon. But, how did the dev snag the rights? Says Neversoft's Scott Pease:
We gave him the call; Neversoft cooked up a more polished demo, which had an actual skateboarder and two tricks. We called Tony in, and all the Activision suits assembled in the conference room... Tony just comes rolling in with his ripped cargo pants, sits down at the table and suit after suit gets up and whips out revenue charts and so on. Tony's just gotta sit there the whole time. At the end, we wheel in the Neversoft demo and, since Tony was a gamer growing up, he was totally into it. Then we didn't hear from him over a month. I think he was talking to some other companies.
Nintendo even, apparently! Well, it all worked out for the best. 2015? That's so teh future. A long, long future.
