>>10067448Dude, stories of suggestions like that taking root and becoming reality are so cool. I can't prove this, but I might have been partially responsible for some features in the later-era Tony Hawk PS2 games. I was heavily into the scene after THPS2, making mods for the PC version and posting on numerous THPS forums daily. At some point, Neversoft themselves came round asking what we'd like to see in future games (I think this might have been at PlanetTonyHawk). I suggested an amateur-to-pro story mode, picking up sponsors and doing missions, with a lot of little granular details. I did a whole writeup. Now, I'm not suggesting that this is an incredibly unique idea or that I was the only one who suggested something like this, but this is the direction they took, and I ended up seeing a few of my ideas ingame. Like I said, there's no way to confirm this, but it's at least possible, and that's cool to think about.
