Activision Appears To Be Teasing Tony Hawk's Return

We used to get excited for new games

@Tasuki or both…!?

@JohnnyMind I'd be inclined to agree that excitement is well justified here...

THPS 1&2 was (IMO) an absolute 'poster-child' of what a full-scale remake should entail. An absolute labour of love, true to the originals and brimming with updated QoL features and incredible graphics. I played on PS5 and was blown away. THPS 1&2, alongside Demon's Souls, are pinnacle remakes I think.

In terms of 'remaster', I think Metroid Prime is a solid example of how to undertake such a remit.

Less exciting for me are games that receive remasters/remakes in instances were the original titles are <10 years old.... Horizon (!) for example.

But I played the original THPS on PS1 as a kid, adored those games and played them to death, so I'm slightly biased. I even remember THUG 1&2 being pretty decent.

A new TH game would of course be great, but the originals are so old it makes sense to remake.

This is a nice and playful way of teasing a game. It has been quite some time, since I played a Tony Hawk game.

Nice, though I feel like I'm at the stage of holding back on any upcoming unannounced 3rd party multiplatform games in case there's gonna be a Switch 2 version! Rather have that smoother framerate and better graphics, especially for THPS.

It seems they're not allowed to announce them yet though? I remember some industry insider said the reason they had that Switch 2 reveal trailer was to allow third parties to announce games for it but there's been nothing... So that was probably BS.

F*** YES THPS 3+4!!!!!!! Insta buy on PC and later on Switch!

@jake1421 Well, don't speak for everyone.

I'm fine with Tony Hawk 3+4 remakes.

They have to be remakes as the originals are so dated.
TH 4 are from 2002...

It could be 3+4 remakes

but since it's Call of Duty there's always a tiiiiiiiny chance they could just be giving Tony Hawk a gun.

(it's obviously gonna be 3+4 remakes.)

Speaking of COD, I guess this year will be when the series returns to "Nintendo." I wonder if there will be gyro for that version.

wouldnt you Brits normally say "3 April 2025?"

(AFAIK the correct and only logical, consistent, accurate, self-evident way to write the date/time is:

2025 Feb 21 Fri 1058

"year month date day time"

Just planting seeds. Thanks for listening. ✌️

PS - old timers like me will remember seeing dates like 05/06/04 and wondering wtf date that was supposed to be 😆)

@jake1421 Well, the current state of the industry, combined with every new game (even establisheed franchises) getting boycotted by the anti-woke crowd, even if there isn't anything woke about it (Doom the Dark Ages being called woke due to accessibility sliders), a remake of a game that's over 15 years old, isn't all bad.

@m0i
Its no surprise that the crowd who built their whole personality around mocking and belittling people who had trouble with Eternal are going nuts over that and are using that angle as a proxy to wage war on what they feel is a personal attack against them, they absolutely lost their minds over the changes Eternal got around the time of it’s second DLC episode.

Wonder what Tony Hawk game is going to get remastered. If it is a remaster.

A pity I don't trust Activision to not f*ck this up.

I'm actually insulted it's Iron Galaxy. Not because they do bad work, far from it. It's just that Activision is THE single most over staffed company in gaming. Even as a division of Microsoft and following on from the requiste Microsoft purge they're total head count is STILL bigger than XBOX. And that's not counting King and Blizzard ACTIVISION BY ITSELF has a bigger head count than Xbox and that all goes to the service of ONE GAME A YEAR.

HOW IS COD THAT RESOURCE INTENSIVE?!

Yeah I'm not so sure about this, thinking on it some more. Iron Galaxy is so hit and miss (and just laid off enough staff "just to stay afloat"), and 4 is almost a complete dud. I'd get a good remake of 3 though.

Oh time for a touch only mobile Tony Hawk game for apple arcade...

@jake1421 Who’s “we”? I think you’re alone in not being excited.

I had some fun with THPS1 & 2. but I liked downhill jam the most and would love to have a remaster or part 2

@m0i same folks put scare quotes around "journalist," use guides by those journalists when Erdtree is absolutely owning them, and parrot every word from their favorite influenza who is parroting every word of an article on Polygon. Seems dumb.

how about tony hawk 3 remaster that give us characters like darth maul,wolverine,a bum,police officer and of course a she devil and watching the the store manager reaction to each character was hilarious especially wen he gets force choke by maul or burning alive with the she devil.

That would be exciting if they didn't botch every attempt at a return since the 4th game

I remember when THPS3 was released, I was so pumped to see a new N64 game available to rent in our video store. Needless to say, we got a lot out of that game and it's become a huge part of my childhood. This announcement is so flipping exciting for me.

I hope it's a remaster of 3 & 4. The remasters of 1 & 2 were awesome, but I had so much more fun with 3 & 4 growing up
