New Tony Hawk's Pro Skater to remove "disrespectful" Guitar Hero Easter egg after player concerns
The discovery was shared on the Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3+4 subreddit, with one Reddit user stating, 'Goes to show Iron Galaxy's respect for Neversoft.'
Some players viewed the inclusion as a sign of disrespect towards the earlier franchise, while others considered it a joke referencing the past.
Iron Galaxy, the developer behind the remake, confirmed the removal on its official Reddit account. The studio stated, 'We have the utmost respect for anyone who makes games, we're investigating how that got in there in the first place.'
The post also thanked the community for bringing the matter to attention, confirming that the asset will be removed in the next update.
The Easter egg appeared in Waterpark, a new level in Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3+4, alongside Movie Studio and Pinball. These new levels, combined with returning locations, feature the franchise's signature gameplay while introducing expanded Create-A-Skater and Create-A-Park modes.
Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3+4 was released in July, bringing the third and fourth entries of the series to modern hardware, allowing players to revisit iconic locations and perform signature combos with up to eight skaters in multiplayer.

The surprise was shared via a joint Instagram post captioned 'Table for 4 please', accompanied by photos of the couple with their young daughter Lua and colorful belly stickers spelling out 'BABY.'

Justin Timberlake's tour falling apart in real time
Justin Timberlake is under fire after a series of live performances on his latest tour left fans disappointed, confused, and even concerned. A viral video from a Paris show triggered the wave of criticism, with viewers accusing the pop star of barely participating in his own concert. In the clip, Timberlake can be seen standing almost motionless while the crowd sings most of the lyrics. Social media erupted, with Reddit threads and TikTok comments mocking the singer's apparent detachment. One user quipped, 'This performance could have been an email,' while another compared it to Airbnb: 'You pay a cleaning fee and still do the cleaning, same here, you buy a ticket and do the singing.' Critics labelled the tour the 'Justin Timberlake karaoke experience,' suggesting his backup singers were carrying the show. Others questioned whether he was even singing live at all, with comments noting the microphone was often on the floor or appeared to be off entirely. What started as jokes has escalated into speculation about Timberlake's health. Some users questioned whether he might be on vocal rest or dealing with undisclosed medical issues. One fan urged honesty, saying, 'If he can't perform, he should cancel the tour, this is manipulative.' Fans who have followed Timberlake since the early 2000s expressed heartbreak over the change. 'In 2014, he was electric on stage. Now it feels like he's just fulfilling a contract. The spark is gone,' one longtime fan wrote. Even casual observers seemed alarmed, with some admitting they were 'genuinely worried.' Despite a lone defence that crowd sing-alongs are common, the consensus online is clear: these performances feel empty, staged, and insincere. Timberlake has yet to respond publicly, but the backlash continues to mount, and so do questions about whether he's up to the demands of this tour.

Alexander Skarsgård reacts to theory that Taylor Swift's song is based on him
Alexander Skarsgård has finally responded to speculation that Taylor Swift's 2014 song Wildest Dreams is based on their brief time together. While appearing on the Armchair Expert podcast, host Dax Shepard brought up a running joke with his daughter about the song and mentioned that many Swifties believe Wildest Dreams is about Skarsgård. Shepard asked, 'Do you have the same fear to either acknowledge or deny that that could be true because the power of the Swifties is so strong, you just don't even want to talk about it?' Skarsgård replied simply, 'Yeah.' He then added, 'It's about Brad Pitt,' followed by, 'I wrote the lyrics to that song myself and sent it to Taylor.' Fans have theorised for years that Wildest Dreams draws inspiration from Swift's time filming The Giver in South Africa in 2013, where she and Skarsgård were seen together. In the video for Wildest Dreams, released in 2015, Swift portrays a brunette actress entangled in a romantic film set in Africa, paralleling real-life details from her time with Skarsgård. While Taylor Swift has never confirmed the song's subject, she is known for embedding hints and coded messages in her lyrics. Over the years, her fans have grown adept at decoding lyrical Easter eggs.
