There's also OlliOlli World, Skate City, Session, and Skater XL. Of course, there's Vicarious Visions' Tony Hawk's Pro Skater reboot. I recently achieved 100 percent in both THPS 1 and 2 in Tony Hawks Pro Skater 1+2 - my hands melting into the controls until Tony Hawk and I were no longer 2 but 1. As we said in our review, "the Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater franchise may once again have a bright future thanks to this terrific blast from the past." Alas, history proves otherwise.īut actually, skateboarding games have had a renaissance in recent years. The news is particularly painful because, after a drought of skateboarding games, the excellent Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 and 2 seemed to indicate the king of action sports was back. Skate as the legendary Tony Hawk and the original pro roster, plus new pros. More curious is Activision's interest in taking the series in new directions. All the pro skaters, levels and tricks are back and fully-remastered, plus more. As Hawk says in the clip, it was planned, but he never indicates it was in production. That changes with Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1+2, a remake of the first two entries in the series developed by Vicarious Visionsthe same developer behind those great GBA and DS games. oWR70xTOYvĪt the very least, it doesn't sound like THPS3 and 4 was actively in development. Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 + 4 remasters were in the works but they were scrapped after Vicarious Visions was merged into Blizzard.
