Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 + 2 Remaster Announced

A live stream held by Geoff Keighley in association with Summer Game Fest has just announced a remastered version of one of the all-time PlayStation classics – Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 and 2. The live stream was held on Twitter’s Periscope TV revealing a trailer and an interview with the pro skater Tony Hawk and Jen Oneal from Vicarious Visions. You can check out the trailer below. 

The reveal started out with a trailer showing some stunning close-up shots followed by a comparison of the previous generation graphics to the current next-gen. The game allows you to pick and choose your favourite skater from the roster which includes Tony Hawk, Steve Caballero, Geoff Rowley, Bucky Lasek, Elissa Steamer, Kareem Campbell and more. The game will also include all the classic locations and soundtracks from the previous games.

The remastered game is being developed by Vicarious Visions who had previously remastered Crash Bandicoot for the PlayStation 4. And is being published by Activision. The game retains all the original levels, modes and tricks from their classic variants. It also has support for local split-screen multiplayer like the old days as well as an online multiplayer feature. The game also includes the create-a-park and create-a-player modes providing enough room for customization. The player can share their parks online and play on parks created by other players as well. Vicarious Visions has decided that there would not be any microtransactions during launch. Every unlockable item will be obtained only via gameplay rewards. But it is subject to change with time and demand.

Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 + 2 is set to release on September 4, 2020. It will be available on Windows via the Epic Games Store, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
