As was widely reported yesterday, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 5 required players to download a patch that was bigger than the game itself at launch. This has led to both criticism and speculation that perhaps the complete game is not on the disc.
Activision, however, has attempted to quash these theories by coming out and saying that the core of the game is indeed on the disc and that the patch was necessary in order to fully integrate dedicated server support.
"The core of the game is present on the disc and playable without downloading the patch," an Activision spokesperson told Game Informer. "The patch does contain tweaks that are needed to fully integrate dedicated server support, which is needed if the player is connected to the Internet since the game is always online. The patch also gives the players additional content as well as improved stability and overall experience."
Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 5 released yesterday in North America for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, and will release this Friday in Europe. The PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 versions are set to release in November.
