Chad's abilities come in handy in many parts of the game. He also has two 8/10s in Ollie and Rail Balance, so that gives you a cool variance in terms of skaters for different levels. He just seems so crazy and fun to be around. If I had to pick only one person to hang out with from the entire cast, it would be Chad Muska.

He is one of the few characters in the game that have an 8/10 in an attribute category - in his case, Manual Balance and Spin - so you can have a lot of fun shredding while controlling Rodney. Rodney joined for THPS 2 and has been a mainstay ever since. I have no doubt this trend will continue in the remaster. I don't know why, but Kareem was my good luck charm in the game. he just looks great.Īnother THPS original, I always happened to get a trick I had been working on in the game first with Kareem.

Holding his board in front of him, checkered shirt fully buttoned up all the way to the collar, jeans and Vans, tattoos prominently on the arms but not a full sleeve. The THPS original looks imposing in the selection screen, just daring you to select him. You don't start with the best stats, but that's alright - you have a character to call your own! It felt in the "just good enough" zone to be acceptable to me. They are easy to follow, with enough choices to make it feel like your human will be unique, but not enough that you are spending seven hours figuring out how long you want your character's nose hairs to be. Credit to Activision and Vicarious Visions for how they handled the create modes. Kind of an odd choice to start this list (and will be an odd way to end this list also, but more on that later).

With that in mind, here are my undisputed, totally correct, scientifically crafted, perfectly curated, undebatable top ten skater power rankings in Tony Hawk Pro Skater 1+2 Remastered. I've had a few hours to play the game (and many more on the original versions).

Still, it seems that The Birdman may have taken his final flight, at least in the digital realm.Nostalgic gamers rejoice! Tony Hawk Pro Skater: 1+2 have been remastered and are out now for PC, PS4 and Xbox. Of course, the Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater franchise is an enduring and highly successful series, if one mired in its own ongoing corporate controversy. Around the same time, Sony had begun its own studio consolidation program, merging multiple smaller teams into support squads for itself and The Last of Us developer Naughty Dog. “I wish I could say we had something in the works, but you know Vicarious Visions kind of got disbanded and Activision’s going through all their stuff, so I don’t know what’s next.”Īt the time, Activision came under heavy criticism from the gaming community, who saw the Vicarious merger as a sign that creativity and variety was being reduced in favor of getting every studio behind company cash cows franchises such as Call of Duty and World of Warcraft. We were going three and four, and then Vicarious got kind of absorbed and they were looking for other developers and then it was over,” explained Hawk. “I mean, that was the plan, even up until the release date of this. Naturally, this led fans to hope that both Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 and Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 4 would receive similar attention in the near future.īut, speaking on a Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater Twitch stream this past weekend, ( as spotted by Okami Games), The Birdman himself has suggested that while further remakes were planned, the controversial merging of Vicarious Visions with Blizzard has most assuredly put paid to that idea, and perhaps permanently. The remake would go on to become the fast-selling entry in franchise history, raking in a million sales in just its first week of release. Skateboarding extraordinaire and world’s most familiar man Tony Hawk has noted that a “Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4” remake was on deck, but was ultimately canned when Activision merged developer Vicarious Visions into Blizzard.Īs you’ll recall, in 2020 Vicarious released its critically acclaimed Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 + 2, rebuilding the two classic PlayStation titles from the ground up while maintaining 1:1 gameplay to the legendary original releases.
