Did You Know Gaming
Before Neversoft kicked off its tremendously successfulTony Hawkseries, the studio worked on a PlayStation game calledApocalypsewhich had Bruce Willis spouting off lines like “Strap one on, it’s time to Jam!” (And, before that, it was working on a title literally named “Big Guns.”)
This Did You Know Gaming video is aboutTony Hawk, don’t get me wrong, but I couldn’t resist taking the opportunity to giveApocalypsea shout out. Since the two games shared an engine, when Neversoft showed an early demo of its skateboarding game to Tony Hawk, Bruce Willis was the player character. “He was still holding a gun, I think,” recalls co-founder Joel Jewett.
