Review copies of THPS5 arrived on release day for many publications, a tactic often used to save a game's day one sales from negative coverage. That coverage is coming anyway. Eurogamer has posted a two-minute video (above) brimming with bugs: Tony Hawk sinks into sidewalks, flies through halfpipes, and contorts in inhuman ways. Here's their YouTube description: "All Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 5 glitches and physics bugs in this video were captured in under 60 minutes of gameplay, on a PS4 with the 7gb launch update installed.
As for that patch, Destructoid reports the download is 7.7GB, over 165 percent larger than actual game's install size, 4.6GB. Here's Polygon's Griffin McElroy on his experience playing the game.
