22 Biggest Disappointments Of E3 2015

19. Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 5's Shockingly Bad Graphics

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 5 was first shown off last month complete with screenshots, though a live stream at E3 with Hawk himself saw him reveal the first in-motion footage of the game. The results? Well, they weren't pretty: see it for yourself here. Fans were quick to disparage the game's wildly underwhelming visuals, noting that it didn't look much better than the decline-era titles five years ago, and suffered from trick animations that lacked fluidity. Unsurprisingly, despite being due for release on September 29th, the game wasn't available to be played on the conference floor, only behind closed doors to a select few. When things are already looking so mild, can anyone be surprised? It's a shame, because if there's one game that needs a juicy, big-budget revival, it's this one, but instead it looks like a decidedly cheap cash-grab.
