Talk:Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 5

Why are Ride and Shred considered "spin-offs"?

These are "main" games in the series. They were developed by Robomodo (the primary developers of the series after Neversoft) and released for all three major seventh generation home consoles (PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and Wii). I can't find any evidence that they are "spin-offs" of the series, and I don't remember them ever being described as such. Jericho735 Jericho735 (talk) 15:56, 28 December 2021 (UTC)

Orphaned references in Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 5

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 5's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "auto1":

• From Tony Hawk's (series): EW Staff (December 11, 2015). "The 10 Best (And 3 Worst!) Video Games of 2015". Entertainment Weekly. Retrieved December 13, 2015.
• From Tyler, the Creator: Hyde, Marina (27 August 2015). "Tyler, the Creator, meets his match in Theresa, the Home Secretary, head of the UK branch of Banaholics Anonymous". The Guardian. Retrieved 30 August 2015.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT⚡ 22:08, 19 January 2019 (UTC)

Commercial Failure Source

The wiki says that this game was a "commercial failure" but I can't find any sources that says it was.Poke990 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 01:27, 12 April 2020 (UTC)

    • In that case, Fun Labs should really be mentioned in the prose, along with their Romanian roots, as that's not at all obvious to the readers. The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 09:54, 9 March 2021 (UTC)
