TONY HAWK'S PRO SKATER 1 and 2 Have Been Remastered and Here's a Trailer and Details
Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 and 2 have been remastered for PS4, Xbox One, and PC, and today we have a radical trailer to share with you along with details and the release date!
I spent a lot of time playing Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater back in the day, so it’s going to be a lot of fun to revisit it with this great-looking remastered version. Activision and Vicarious Visions have rebuilt the games from the ground up in HD with "original maps, original skaters and songs from the original soundtrack, plus new features.”
The official description reads:
Skate as the legendary Tony Hawk and the full pro roster. Listen to songs from the era-defining soundtrack. Hit insane trick combos with the iconic handling of the Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater series.
All The Original Game Modes And More: Play all the original modes and go head-to-head with local 2-Player modes. Show off your style and creativity with upgraded Create-A-Park and Create-A-Skater features. Compete against players from around the world in Multiplayer modes and leaderboards.
Tony Hawk himself and Summer Game Fest producer Geoff Keighley talked about the game, revealing that it supports classic D-pad and modern analog stick controls its Create-A-Park and Create-A-Skater modes have been expanded with lots of new options, and there’s online play that lets players share their creations.
There will also be more challenges added to each of the levels in the game. Hawk hopes that these games are the start of a wave of remasters:
"There's strong nostalgia and attachment to the originals, at least four, THPS one through four. One and two is the jumping off point, I would love to be able to do more down the line. Especially with [Vicarious Visions], we can make this stuff look spectacular. Even 3 and 4 were still only on PS2. It's come a long way with the technology, and I think that these guys truly are the most qualified to do it."
I’m excited to play these! Check out the trailer that was released for Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 and 2 below. It will be released on September 4th, 2020.
