Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 + 4 Removes Guitar Hero Reference Amid Investigation
TL;DR Summary
Iron Galaxy, developer of Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4 remakes, is investigating how a Guitar Hero World Tour box art reference, embedded as a joke in a new level, appeared in the game. They plan to remove it in an upcoming update after community feedback, despite some fans defending the Easter Egg as a harmless gag. The reference was linked to the now-closed NeverSoft studio, which worked on both Tony Hawk and Guitar Hero series.
