Dropping in on September 4, 2020, Tony Hawk Pro Skater 1 + 2 is set to bring back original levels, pro skaters, tricks, modes, and songs from the iconic soundtrack, as well as amp up the experience with new ways to play including online Multiplayer.

Same Tony, New Tricks

Tony Hawk Pro Skater 1 + 2 will feature the full original roster of pro skaters from the turn of the 21st century. That includes Steve Caballero, Geoff Rowley, Bucky Lasek, Elissa Steamer, Kareem Campbell, Andrew Reynolds, Bob Burnquist, Eric Koston, Rodney Mullen, Jamie Thomas, Rune Glifberg, Chad Muska… and of course, Tony Hawk.

These skaters all come with their own Special Moves—from Geoff Rowley’s Darkside Grind to Tony Hawk’s legendary 900—and have learned a few new tricks over the past two decades, including the Revert, Lip Tricks, and the Wall Plant, allowing you to pull off incredible combos like never before.

The remaster will also feature all the original levels from the first two games in the franchise, from the Warehouse to The Bullring, as well as many of the songs from the original games to amp you up while you go for that Sick Score. Those levels can be played solo with goals old and new, with a buddy for local co-op, or online with original multiplayer game modes.

All of this will be presented in stunning 4K resolution* with updated and enhanced graphics, running at a frame rate crisper than a perfect 50-50 grind: 60 frames per second.

Create-A-Skater and Create-A-Park Return, Revamped

Rather carve up your own park with a skater you created? Create-A-Skater and Create-A-Park are back with some dope features added in.

Create-A-Park will feature a robust editing suite, enabling an incredible level of customization to create the skate park of your wildest imaginations. These parks can be shared online with friends.

After you create a park, why not create yourself—or a friend… or one gnarly looking poser—in Create-A-Skater? With plenty of customization options, including some that feature iconic skating and street brands, you’ll be able to express a crazy amount of creativity just in your custom skater alone.

The Limited-Edition Birdhouse Deck

For the ultimate fan, a collector’s edition will be available for the suggested retail price of $99.99 in the United States, complete with the digital deluxe content and a limited-run Birdhouse deck.

The deck features the iconic Falcon 2 design, reissued exclusively for the collector’s edition. Although the deck is fully skateable, you may not want to hit too many gnarly grinds with it, as it also features a printed autograph from the birdman himself.

Once more, a game which I would not have bought anyway goes to EGS.

Plus, it is published by Activision, which I boycott after they included Spyro in the Humble Monthly bundle exactly one month after the PC release.

Oh wow. I used to be way into those games. If it plays as well as the originals, I’ll pick it up when it’s not on EGS 😁

Lol @ EG$ in thread title instead of EGS. Petty as hell.

Double lol at AGAIN remaking Tony Hawk 1+2. Are the Tony Hawk Undergrounds chopped liver? Tony Hawk Project 8 style NEW game can't work?? Come on. I've played Project 8 and Tony Hawk HD in the past month and project 8 blew the remake the fuck out of the water.

Why is Activision going EGS exclusive when they have their own launcher? 🤔
Because Blizzard.net isn't really suited to anything that isn't a live service multiplayer game tech-wise, and the kind of people likely to buy games on Battle.net doesn't have a lot of overlap with the kind of people likely to buy Tony Hawk games. It's the same reason they put Spyro on Steam instead of Battle.net.

I wouldn't count on this being conventional timed exclusivity, either. It's more likely an indefinite partnership akin to what Ubisoft have with Epic. You'll note that The Division 2 launched on March 15, 2019, and still isn't on Steam. Whatever deal Ubi have with Epic, it's not a standard 6-12 month exclusivity period. Activision have very, very likely struck a similar deal. The hardcore grown up stuff goes on Battle.net. Everything else goes on Epic Store.

What makes you think that?

Because Activision have already been pulling out Steam. Call of Duty is never coming back to Steam. They've only left a few holdouts on the platform. Moving entirely to Battle.net + Epic Games Store is a fairly likely course of action.
