But the only one available for my PS4 was Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 5. "It’s definitely in our blood, and it’s a real point of pride that we got the opportunity to do this," she said.īack in early March, when I first found myself stuck inside my tiny studio apartment for the indefinite future, I had an itch to escape to the wide-open schoolyards and 30-set stairwells of a Pro Skater game. Oneal herself was a producer on Neversoft's Tony Hawk’s American Wasteland, a late-franchise highlight and personal favorite of mine.

All the old levels, the original skaters, and even most of the classic soundtracks are coming back on September 4, 2020, this time with a photo realistic art style that takes full advantage of the 4K HDR graphic capabilities of the PS4 Pro and Xbox One X. Activision has announced it will release a remaster of Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 and 2 together as one game. Those lyrics from the 1999 ska song "Superman" by Goldfinger take on an entirely new meaning today. Getting older all the time / feeling younger in my mind
