Neversoft bails: Tony Hawk's next game developed by another studio
We haven't heard much on the latest Tony Hawk game that is supposed to be in development, aside from there supposedly being a peripheral key to gameplay that Activision is designing themselves. Well, we've got some news now: Neversoft, the developers who started the franchise, have handed off the duties to another developer. Why? Because they need to concentrate on Guitar Hero.
So who's working on the new game? Well, word is that it's Robomodo, a developer that has some ex-EA employees within its ranks. Turns out part of that rumor from EGM was true. We're fully expecting an announcement soon, with a look at a new peripheral to play the game. Just look at what they're doing with the DS game.

Wow, I am really not happy with Neversoft right now.
I hate it when a game series is established because of the great efforts of a developer, only for that series to be transferred to another developer, especially if the reason is only because the publisher just wants to get extra money and doesn't care about the original artistic intent.
First, Neversoft ruined Guitar Hero, and now, they're letting Tony Hawk get ruined.

Tony Hawk isn't ruined already?
