Hawk also says that he would like to “start to work on a new direction” for the series as well. Tony Hawk Pro Skater 1 and 2 should appeal to old fans of the series, as well as a new generation of gamers whose current skater games don’t quite match up. But nostalgia is a hell of a drug, and if the game controls as well as it appears it does, then I have no doubt the game will do extremely well. Now of course this all hinges on how well the remake performs. Tony Hawk says in the interview: “this is just the start…with that baseline we’re hopefully going to be able to help remaster other titles, Pro Skater 3 and 4 even, and start to work on a new direction. But the Birdman himself has added a new tantalizing tidbit in an interview in the latest issue of Game Informer - fans will be happy to know that Tony Hawk doesn’t want to stop remakes with the first two games. “Like, ‘What would you do with the THPS title?’ And he didn’t like what he heard, and then that was it.The hype for the upcoming remake of Tony Hawk Pro Skater 1 and 2 has been building steadily since the game’s initial announcement. “The truth is that Were trying to find someone to do 3+4, but they didn’t really trust anyone the way they did Vicarious, so they took other pitches from other studios,” Hawke said. ,Īccording to Hawke, Activision was ultimately not impressed with the proposals it received for further THPS games, so the project did not proceed. “And then the vicarious Kind of got absorbed, and then they were looking for other developers, and then it was over.


“That was the plan even until the day of the release of ”We were going 3+4,” Hawk said. The skateboarding legend discussed the decision to drop plans for more remakes during a Twitch livestream with Andy Gentile, a former Neversoft designer who also served as senior designer on THPS1+2. Tony Hawk has confirmed that Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4 was planned to follow in a slipstream of the successful 2020 remake of the original two games, but Activision has officially announced plans to merge developer Vicarious Vision into Blizzard.
