Built Different: The Story of Neversoft

They made Tony Hawk. They made Spider-Man. They made Guitar Hero. And then…they were gone.

In this mini documentary, I explore the rise and fall of Neversoft, one of the most iconic developers of the late '90s and 2000s. From their early struggles and breakout with Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater, to shaping pop culture through extreme sports and music games, and eventually being absorbed into the Call of Duty machine, this is the story of a studio that helped define a generation.
