Xbox360Fanboy reports that Neversoft and our favorite “ollie the bum” skater, Tony Hawk have parted ways and Neversoft will no longer be developing the Tony Hawk Pro Skater franchise of games!

Wow!  This is pretty big news.

After EA released Skate, they have pretty much dominated the skateboarding game market and have shown what a farce the THPS games have turned into.  Each new release seemed to get more and more silly and extra mini-games were thrown in.  The jumps and airs got bigger and bigger and the storyline got stupider.

This may be just what the Tony Hawk series needs to progress now that Skate 2 has been demoed and is due to be released later this month.

Sometimes a new developer will be able to see the game with a new set of eyes and bring it back to the glory that it once was.

Do you think the Tony Hawk series will be able to come back against Skate?

Holy crap.  You couldn’t invent this rubbish!

Zoo Games are planning to roll out a new skating game for the Nintendo Wii at the end of October called Skate City Heroes.  The game, to be used with the Wii Balance Board will feature futuristic skating action, unique missions and mini games too.  You can even battle against others in a few different multiplayer modes.

Please… pass me the valium..

Head over to IGN for some great images of this game.
