Most of those guys went on to Quarter Up (under Skybound) and recently developed the Invincible VS game.

I wonder if some of the Iron Galaxy KI devs will be absorbed into Quarter Up.

Now the big questions if western studios are going to become better post layoffs or not.

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
Hopefully the affected land on their feet soon.

It really sucks. It sucks even more so when you're also laid off during that time and want to stay in the industry. Because now you're competing with a pool of 1000+ people all looking for work in the same industry, lol.

I guess it's because the foundation of 3 and 4 (mostly 4) is not ideal.
When 2 was released everyone was saying that it was the shit. When 3 was launched, gameplay was perfected, but something was off. 4 nobody talked much and kinda jumped to Underground, which didn't mean much since people didn't love those games anymore
It's because they completely changed the mission structure of 4, basically just ported the maps to the thps3 structure. that's why I didnt buy it - not much point basking in nostalgia when you've changed the entire game structure and it's just level tourism.

THPS 3+4 is dope. It is Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 but better in every way (like skitching) and they added the enjoyable parts of 4 sans annoying missions and lame levels. The online shared custom levels with goals and collectibles are totally new and they even added a photo mode and an option to tackle goals for an extended amount of time. Hard to go back to older games after all the features this added. Only bummer is a lot of tracks got cut due to licensing shenanigans and zoo stage is a barren competition stage.
It is awesome. The original THPS4 was mediocre junk by comparison. The outcries are nonsense.

That's incorrect. The guys working on Invincible VS is from Double Helix, the devs that originally launched the new KI.
Iron Galaxy took over for Double Helix for KI development after Amazon bought Double Helix.

I largely agree with this as someone that never even finished THPS4 back in the day despite beating the first three dozens and dozens of times across multiple platforms...but I understand people being upset about the changes and cut content.

Hmm, just thought about this, but I wonder how this news will affect the rumored Fallout New Vegas remaster that they're working on.
