In 2020, Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater made an unlikely return in the form of an excellent remaster of the first two games in the series. It had been five years since the abysmal Tony Hawk Pro Skater 5 left a sour taste in fans’ mouths, and developer Vicarious Visions did a tremendous job helping them forget with both a healthy dose of nostalgia and proof of the series' timeless mechanics. But what seemed like the beginning of a revival silently faded. That was until earlier this year.
Another five years later, the seminal skating series is set for its second comeback of the decade, this time highlighting two of the most important games in the series. Tony Hawk Pro Skater 3+4, like its predecessor, remakes all 18 main levels from the third and fourth games in a brand new engine all in stunning 4K. The game feel has been refined to ensure it feels like you remember. And most importantly, the soundtrack is both intact with some smart additions that feel right at home. Based on the demo that was released earlier this week, it’s fair to say that Pro Skater’s second go-round is shaping up to be just as strong if not better than the first.
