Tony Hawk's Professional Skater 3 + 4 Developer Iron Bank said it is “investigating “a weird “Easter Egg”” and some fans think the reference is an excitement festival series quit the trash. Literally.
Shortly after the highly anticipated Tony Hawk's Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3+4 remake went live last week for all players, players noted that at the new WaterPark level, a familiar box in a familiar bin (even if it's “legally different”). While not everyone can make a connection, you can see that it looks like Guitar Hero – Or “Banjo Champion” because it has been stuffed into the jar, although it has been refilled like all guitar hero brands.
Given the developers of Guitar Heroes 3: Rock Legends to 2010's Rock Warriors, this is a particularly weird addition… and that's also the same, and it's also easy to develop the original Tony Hawk's Pro Splater series.
THP 3+4 developer Iron Galaxy quickly distanced as fans argue about whether it's Easter eggs, jokes, or even digging in Neversoft or Publisher Activision writing: “We have the greatest respect for anyone who makes the game and we are investigating how it comes in first. Thank you for bringing it to our attention and we will remove it from the environmental art in the next update.”
Some players told Tie Galaxy not to worry about it”Benevolent jokes“Once it was “Nothing serious,” Others say it's “Avant-garde, like an older THP game“The fact is that 'joke' has been around for many years, The reference for “Banjo Champion” is also popped up in THP 1+2five years ago.
We thought the long-term remake was great, with 8 slaps and in Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 + 4 Comments: “Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3+4 proves once again that the series' top skateboard formula is totally timeless, even if some changes to THPS4 missed the trademark, the soundtrack was groped.”
