Video game remakes are everywhere these days. But when one of the best games of all time and its equally radical sequel are up for a from-the-ground-up remake some 25 years later, an exception can be made from the typical malaise we feel from these rehashes.
This week, skateboarding’s perennial Birdman returns, this time in the form of a combined remake of 2001’s Tony Hawk Pro Skater 3 and 2002’s Tony Hawk Pro Skater 4. Tony Hawk Pro Skater 3+4, like the beloved 2020 remake that came before, aims to re-present these classics as players remember them. Luckily for players this time around, the game is debuting on practically every available console, as well as Game Pass.
