Ouch 40.00 is a bit steeper then I expected.

Considering these look more like remakes than remasters, and that you are getting 2 full games, I don't see what is wrong with £40.

That's 20 per game.

 

[JLMC469]

I assume this will be 60fps on consoles right?

 

[Optimistic Gamer]

This was the big reveal?, a remaster of 20 year old games starring a 76 year old skateboarder.

That man did more for gaming, sports, skateboarding and entertainment than you have probably done in your field.
At least show a little respect.

 

[GobbledeeGoo]

Game also has multiplayer so hype.

 

[SpongebobSquaredance]

Oh please let this be good. I want to be hyped and it definitely looks cool, but there is still a possibility that they (once again) f**k up the animations, physics and controls.

 

[Arkam]

Because the gameplay is extremely dated at this point and very uninspiring. Games still need to change up and evolve to keep the masses interested. The late 90s was huge on the whole X games vibe and that was really taking off back then. There's been way better skateboard games since then and I cant see Tony hawk being a huge household name anymore.

What were those games? Only later skating game of substance that I remember Skate.... and I didnt care for it. In fact I actually hated the series due to the controls. They were like far to many games that gen with shoehorned analog controls that feel anything but consistent and accurate. Was there a game I missed?


I think this THPS remake looks great and very excited. I will however reserve judgement til i get hands on time. Cuz the HD remaster on 360 felt off and greatly reduced my enjoyment.

 

[wolywood]

I like how the remake will have "most" of the original songs....weren't there like 10 track total in THPS?

 

[The Fartist]

I wanna see Marseille Skatepark with current gen lighting, that'd be nice.

 

[SpongebobSquaredance]

I like Skate and I usually play any extreme sports games (SSX, Skate, Tony Hawk etc.) coming out and I can't think of one either. Perhaps olliolli?

Thats a vastly different style though..

Oh calm your smiley faces, i played all the old games. I just expected something else lol.

 

[Lionel Richie]

FUCK YES FUCK YES FUCK YES FUCK YES

I love you based Pope!

 

[Tesseract]

very cool, day 1

 

[Oddspeak]

This looks way fucking better than the trash that was 5 and THPS HD, and they've confirmed Create-a-Park and Skater. This is a day one purchase, for sure.

 

[Deleted member 17706]

Hell yes! I really hope they nail the gameplay.

 

[Terenty]

Lights out! Guerrilla radio! Turn that shit up!

 

[JareBear: Remastered]

Hell yes! I really hope they nail the gameplay.

I know it is hard to just go off footage but what they showed looked very authentic to the originals, to me anyway

Or... it's a remake of one game, that being THPS 2X for Xbox.

 

[Starfield]

Here's some gameplay btw starring Tony Hawk, Jack Black and son

 

[JareBear: Remastered]

Sounds like pre-ordering on any platform gets you the warehouse demo?

Tony Hawk Pro Skater: Pre-Ordering Lets You Play One Of Series' Most Iconic Levels Early

You can shred the Warehouse a little early if you pre-purchase Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1+2 ahead of its September release.

www.gamespot.com

Article says SOME of the original music, I figured there might be licensing conflicts

Pre-ordering THPS1+2 will net you a demo of the Warehouse, the very first stage from the very first Tony Hawk game that serves as many players' earliest memory of the classic series. There's no word yet on when the demo will be available

The game is coming to PC, PS4, and Xbox One on September 4. It will include remastered versions of the first two Tony Hawk games, along with the skater and park creation modes, and some of the original licensed music. (Yes, including Goldfinger's "Superman.") Developer Vicarious Visions is also including a few new additions, including additional tricks, goals, and secrets. The entire package will be included in the game, but the studio is open to adding more content if there's demand for it.

The standard edition costs $40, but a $50 deluxe edition also nets you some retro skins, retro Create-a-Skater content, and "The Ripper" skater.

 

[Phase]

Damn these guys trying to get money from my nostalgia. Not gonna work this time.

I bought the game called Session a while ago, and it's pretty great. I'll be sticking with that.

 

[xrnzaaas]

Awesome news, I'll be buying this on day1 if the reviews are positive (gotta be careful after the THPS5 fuckup even though an experienced studio is backing the new project).

I hope we won't lose any of the old songs, especially from the superior THPS2 soundtrack.

 

[NOLA_Gaffer]

You must be thick if you're willing to give Activision money after the almost decade-long string of awful Tony Hawk titles they published since 2008. It appeared like they were actively trying to damage the brand for a while there.

I'd much rather give my cash to the Skatebird guys.

Must have songs:

Cyco Vision
New Girl
and of course
Superman

The truncated N64 versions for teh nostalgia

already looks much less floaty than HD, the jumps seem right. Thats good! I'm still not sold though. I have to play this myself. I am a little concerned about the animations.

 

[Arun1910]

Or... it's a remake of one game, that being THPS 2X for Xbox.

But... it isn't...

It is a remake of 1 and 2.

Hence why the title of the game says, "Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 and 2".

I don't know how much more evidence you need.

 

[Mobile Suit Gooch]

Geez what's next, SSX tricky remaster...?

Spoiler

Please EA?

 

[Nikana]

I thought they would try to get the full $60 out of this. I can do $40.

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 and 2 Remake First Screenshots Revealed - IGN

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 and 2 are being remade, and the first screenshots showcase the impressive new graphics.

www.ign.com

some screens

 

[Mad_Titan]

Looks damn good. Day one if it reviews well.

 

[Enjay]

No offline 2P?

 

[Kuranghi]

Back in the day we played games if they had good gameplay, the genre didn't really matter. We were TrueGamingWhores™, I fucking hate football and most sports but I played Sensible Soccer & Virtua Tennis for years.

Try stepping outside your comfort zone you bunch of curmudgeons lol.

 

[LegendOfKage]

No offline 2P?

I'm pretty sure they said it had both split-screen and online play, including online park creation and park sharing features.

Tony Hawk Remakes Include All the Old Modes, Including Create-a-Park and Split-Screen

[Dr. Claus]

I am excited. Ordered the CE and am so glad that it seems to have most of its original OST in tact. Out of everything, I feel like that is the biggest win. The OST is as memorable as anything else in the franchise and keeping it as preserved as possible makes me happy as hell.

 

[waylo]

Is the collectors edition not available for PC?

 

[Spukc]

What about a seasonpass?

Or cool skins so you can stand out?
Maybe an ingame store with real branded sk8 gear! You can buy with real money

Not that it's exactly the same, but I'm betting anything missing can be "found" again with Spotify, along with a lot of other songs.

 

[angelgs90]

Looks really good!

 

[SuperGooey]

I know I'm in the minority, but I don't like the photorealistic graphics. I find them boring and lacking in clarity compared to the low poly, colorful look of the orignal.

 

[mickaus]

No switch version? That doesn’t really make sense. I could get it on Xbox but still, that would be fun to play on the go.

 

[Maiden Voyage]

Epic Game Store is a nope from me. Looks like I'll be getting the xbone version once the warehouse demo releases.

 

[Hostile_18]

Who's developing this?

These games are tied so much to the music. I cant see many of the same songs been included. If they are largely intact I think I'd be in day one.

It's a great idea bundling two games together as if its successful Tony Hawks 3 & 4 are no doubt on the cards (and equally as good).

 

[iHaunter]

Why make new games when you can remake old ones. We'll have to see if it's an actual remake a re-skin. Wonder how many macro-transactions are going to be in there.

 

[TGO]

This is soo aimed at my generation.
Is there a steelbook version?

 

[JareBear: Remastered]

I know I'm in the minority, but I don't like the photorealistic graphics. I find them boring and lacking in clarity compared to the low poly, colorful look of the orignal.

What kind of style could they have gone for with a remaster that would have been better though? Cel shaded? I am not sure they could have made it more colorful without overdoing the saturation

 

[Juke Joint Jezebel]

Who's developing this?

Vicarious Visions. More recently known for developing the Crash Bandicoot Trilogy.

 

[Hostile_18]

Holy shit. My interest in this just went up ALOT.

Interestingly enough, it's not their first time working on the series, either. They did the PS1 port of THPS4, and I think they also did a gameboy game in the series. Considering they were working with last-gen hardware on a series that had the most recent two games (THPS 3 and 4) designed and built to run on PS2 and Xbox, that seems pretty good. It's cool to think of how far the company has come since then.

 

[EverythingsOverrated]

This is looking like a day 1 purchase for me.

Pretty stoked for this

 

[Celcius]

Epic store exclusive on PC sigh
I still hope it turns out to be good... I’ll get to play it some day
