Tony Hawk Pro Skater 1+2 launches on September 4, 2020 ($39.99 on PS4, XB1 and PC/EGS. Developed by Vicarious Visions, YES it has revert)

[Gundam]

Kinda sounds like that skateboard guy

 

[Chamber]

Didn't think I'd see a thread that starts with "Tony Hawk just texted me".

 

[Javier23]

Maybe its a language barrier
But the user will catch a pretty severe ban, no?

Tony Hawk has been texting people signed up to his site, this is legit.

 

[Lady Bow]

Tony Hawk just texted me and told me that he has a surprise. Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 & 2 are coming back. Original maps, original skaters and songs from the original soundtrack, plus new features! The game looks awesome and will be officially announced soon.

Are you and Tony tight, Geoff?

What's going on

 

[DarkLegion]

Possibly the announcement that will be made in Summer Game Fest in ~35mins?

Why does everyone forget that Tony Hawk 3 is infinitely better than 1 & 2 and one of the greatest video games ever created?

Click to shrink...

They don't. We're just happy for any news regarding the good Tony Hawk titles.

 

[Dark Cloud]

I wonder what Geoff will announce today

 

[Schlorgan]

Hopefully it's better than Pro Skater HD.

 

[Shokunin]

The soundtrack(s) is even bigger news than the game. I'm stoked.

 

[smart patrol]

Extremely skeptical after THPS HD.

 

[plagiarize]

While I was far too kind to THPS HD at launch, I wouldn't call it a remaster. It was a weird mishmash of the first two games with a gameplay engine that didn't feel right, and it didn't have all the maps (let alone characters or music) from the first two games.

I have *zero* expectations that they can secure all the music rights though. That almost never happens in these cases, so best not to expect that's going to happen here.

 

[Molten_]

Anyway, call me when (the superior game) 3 gets a remaster.

 

[VariantX]

'again' is being extremely kind to a game I don't think deserves it.

Heard and seen so much bad about that game I definitely put the brakes on a purchase from me. It was a big part of my teenage years so it doubly sucked that it didn't live up to the original.

 

[DecoReturns]

Please be on Switch.

 

[Komo]

Getting whiff of troll thread but on the other hand I feel like Tony Hawk would do something like this

Click to shrink...

Not a joke lmao I got it too. Dest lmao we posted at the same time.

 

[Kingpin Rogers]

You couldn't have kept this to yourself so the reveal can actually be a surprise for people?

 

[AndyVirus]

Why couldn't I get this text? He only messaged me to ask if I wanted to go for a drink later.

 

[Turkoop]

 

[Theorry]

OP redeemed

 

[NickatNite]

I hope all the in-game billboards are replaced with Tony's tweets

 

[Darkmaigle]

Its not a troll thread lol, i signed up for the Tony Hawk text thing too to try and win my son a board and never turned it off, and yep he did just text everyone saying its coming

 

[DarkStream]

FINALLY! Do it right this time!

 

[Arc]

Wait this might be real?! Geoff this is MUCH BIGGER than a "fun announcement". This is a megaton.

 

[TioChuck]

I just wish its a remaster and not a remake, because THPS HD fucked the physics so bad it hurted.

 

[Deleted member 36578]

No music no sale!!

 

[Jawbreaker]

SO HERE I AM

 

[DerMarc]

Why didn't he text me!?

 

[Deleted member 887]

Probably what Geoff is revealing today

 

[manustany]

Please be good.

Also, WHAT?!

 

[Arc]

Also wtf I was thinking about this needing to happen this morning and then this. I really can predict the future.

 

[Dust]

Here are the thrill seekers
Corrupt and immoral

I just played through 2X a few weeks ago and the nostalgia was real. I'm in!

Lol

 

[Deleted member 7279]

I am in for this

Holy damn

 

[Deleted member 51691]

I thought the timing of that documentary was suspicious

 

[Forerunner]

hell yeah

 

[dreamfall]

Oh my goodness! The nostalgia is going to be so real - this is amazing, please don't fuck it up!

 

[Armadilo]

Revealed in 30 mins

 

[Mugy]

Uhmm, bad choice of words there. Pro Skater 2 without Spiderman, create a park feature, music, and legacy park stages

 

[Mushlikeahusky]

I got the same text. It's real get hyped

 

[Milennia]

really just gonna rerelease the first game again and add the second and ignore the 3rd which is the best game?

 

[Rowsdower]

Thanks Tony.

 

[Dest]

Are you and Tony tight, Geoff?

Click to shrink...

I am not Geoff.

 

[Huey]

I'm gonna be really impressed if they somehow get the music rights to every song from the original two games.

Click to shrink...

seems to be phrased "songs from the original soundtrack" rather than "original soundtrack"

 

[Jamie OD]

Is this the first time one of those community newsletters actually broke important news?

 

[Snake__]

They don't. We're just happy for any news regarding the good Tony Hawk titles.

Click to shrink...

The idea of a Tony Hawk game without revert is just hugely disappointing to me

 

[HiLife]

They tried bringing THPS1 "back" and unless this is just a port then ehhhh.
