Professional skater Tyshawn Jones could have leaked the existence of a model new assortment of Tony Hawk’s Professional Skater remasters, if a current radio interview is something to go by.
Chatting with New York station Energy 105.1FM (thanks, Gematsu), Jones mentioned he is “in a Tony Hawk popping out” and that “they received a brand new one they’re remastering, in order that’s about to come back out”.
As a reminder, Activision hasn’t introduced any new Tony Hawk’s Professional Skater remasters, so if Jones is correct and a brand new assortment is imminent, he is gotten forward of Activision in revealing its existence.
It is price noting that remasters of PS2 titles Tony Hawk’s Professional Skater 3 and 4 have been initially on the playing cards, however Tony Hawk himself mentioned again in 2022 that these plans had been shelved after Blizzard’s merger with Vicarious Visions.
In fact, so much has occurred since then, and it is fully attainable that the plans have been revived. It is also attainable that Jones did the work he did for these remasters approach again when and that no additional growth has occurred since their cancellation.
Presumably, the potentially-upcoming assortment would come with Tony Hawk’s Professional Skater 3 and 4, however Activision may resolve to skip these video games and head straight for Tony Hawk’s Underground as a substitute.
Doing so looks as if a missed alternative to me, although; these are well-liked video games, in any case, and the 2 PS2 installments earlier than the collection switched to Underground have been fairly well-liked with the critics of their time.
If the Tony Hawk’s Professional Skater 3 and 4 remasters are within the works, they will face some fairly stiff competitors due to EA’s Skate reboot, which is because of land in Early Entry someday this yr.
In fact, the 2 video games are arguably focusing on totally different audiences; Tony Hawk’s tends to purpose for a normal viewers, whereas Skate has at all times appeared to be targeted on the hardcore skater crowd.
We’ll have to attend and see what occurs with reference to new Tony Hawk’s remasters, however my Tony Hawk’s nostalgia and I are actually hoping Jones is on the cash. Keep tuned for extra.
