In a lot of ways, I think this is a good idea. I'm not sure this series can ever capture the magic of the originals that were first released on PlayStation. There's not really a face to skateboarding anymore, Tony did so much to elevate the sport and bring the X-Games mainstream.

I don't care for skateboarding; never tried it and never want to. But I did enjoy the games, loads of fun. No matter how good of a game they could make on next-gen, I don't think it could live up to unrealistic expectations. They went with the safe play and gives their audience (who spends a ton of time at skate parks) something to play while out.
