Sikk methods and disastrous flips are coming to PC with Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 + 2, a set throwing collectively the primary two sk8 ’em ups with a critically overhauled look. Activision’s announcement calls this a “faithful remaster” with “all” the unique ranges, pro-skaters, and methods, although solely “many” of the soundtrack songs. And it’s coming from Vicarious Visions, who have been behind the current respectable Crash Bandicoot remasters. Feeling hopeful it’ll be higher than 2012’s Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater HD, which blended bits of the primary two collectively into one disappointing game.
Along with all of the oldness, it’ll have some newness. They say the Create-A-Park editor may have new customisation instruments this time too, and folk will be capable of share their parks on-line. It’ll have some new methods and secrets and techniques too.
In an sudden advertising and marketing transfer, you may see much more of the game on Jack Black’s YouTube channel, with particular visitors together with his children, Tony Hawk, and Devo.
“Getting the chance to bring back the original two games which had such a meaningful impact not only on gaming, but on an entire sports genre, has been an epic experience for our team, many of whom worked on the original series,” stated Jen Oneal, the studio head of Vicarious Visions. “We’re taking what you knew and loved from the original games and mixing that with enhanced creative tools which will allow gamers to invent brand new ways to play the game they love. We’re confident it will be the ultimate Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater experience fans have been asking for.”
I need to imagine this will probably be higher than THPS. Fraser Brown’s Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy review did name VV’s revamp of ye olde PlayStation platformers “a nearly flawless remaster.” Mmmaybe?
Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 + 2 is coming to PC on September 4th through the Epic Games Store. It’ll price £40/$40 and that change fee is actually a kick within the tooth. The normal Epic Store guidelines would imply we would anticipate a launch on one other shops after a yr, although Activision haven’t even raised that chance. It’ll be on Xbone and PS4 too.
It actually does look fairly totally different:
