The mockery of the game came to a head when Activision was forced to issue an official statement on the current state of the game, promising that developer Robomodo was hard at work on fixing THPS 5. Activision even opted not to send out a large number of review copies for the game, suggesting the publisher knew critics would ravage it. Gamers proceeded to rip Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 5 to shreds online, posting videos of the myriad bugs and issues that were encountered while playing the game. Unfortunately, when the game finally hit shelves, Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 5 proved to be less of a “return to form” for the series and more of a “bug riddled blight” on the series' name. But even then, hardcore fans held out hope that THPS 5 would bring the series back to its roots. Initial trailers showed a game with subpar graphics and highlighted a new “slam” gameplay technique that many labeled as awkward and unnecessary. When Activision first unveiled Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 5, the Internet was not kind to the game.
