Tony Hawk rides again

dude.. this is amazing! I freakin loved the original tony hawks pro skater back on the ps one.. hopefully they keep the original soundtrack as well! :3

Fantastic! Arcade extreme sports at its best! How I've missed the days of being confined to a 2 minute run that never ends as long as you keep the manual / grind going. Awesome. Bring on the multiplayer horse or graffiti games!

@ newhighscore : it's a video game, it's not meant to be realistic.

Make a HD remake of THUG with online play and trophies/achievments then we'll start talking.

This is awesome, i enjoyed all the THPS from 1 to American Wasteland. Project 8 and Proving Ground were decent, but i jumped off when Ride and Shred came out. Great to see them going back to this with levels from 1 and 2, and it looks like more than a simple graphics cleanup like most HD games, and for under 20 bucks. My idea though would have been to have 8 levels in the game, 2 levels each from THPS 1-4, and maybe a bonus level from Underground. That has been my idea for a while.

wait...was i mistaken in reading this???/ i thought this was a collection from ALL the THPS games...it's just one and two? That's lame man. Way to milk it to absolute death. Because you know they are going to rerelease 3 & 4 HD eventually too then as a separate game when this could EASILY be one game. LAME!

I prefer the over the top nature of Pro Skater just as I prefer Blitz over Madden. Good to see THPS take a step back thereby taking a giant leap towards being a legitimate franchise again.

Just how old is Tony Hawk by now? Shouldn't there be a new king of skateboarding by now? I don't know a whole lot about this subject, but it sure seems like Tony Hawk has been around forever now.

ea's skate is just leaps and bounds over thps. ive been skating for over 20 yrs. thps is fun and the og, but its too unrealistic. skate is as frustrating and rewarding as the real thing. i will stick with it.

THPS2 is one of the best games ever created. As far as the HD remake: Hell no. Stop giving us the same games again.

YES FINALLY GO BACK TO THE GOOD GAMES

I'll just play the original on my N64. And yes, I keep it hooked up because i'm vintage like that...

As long as they keep the gameplay of American Wasteland or earlier, I'm sold.

@ XBLACKXVIPERX Why should he get a "real job" when skatebording has given him a much better living than most people with "real jobs"?

I might get this. The early Tony Hawk games were fun as hell. After than the series devolved into one suckfest after another. Kinda wish there would be stuff in there from THPS 3 though. That might have been the last really good game in the franchise.

Finally a Hawk game that does not suck

Tony should have handed the reigns to Rodney Mullen ages ago.

Tony Hawk desperately wants you to buy his games. So he found a way, but are you happy?

As soon as I saw that old airport stage I nostalgia'd

tony hawk:senior citizen or zombie edition.....lmao did you see how he looked at last night spiketv 2011 VGAs ? he looked like he didnt sleep for days and yeah he looked old i mean think about it the guy is almost 40 and still skateboarding.....lol I think its about time he call it quits and get a real job

Does this mean a Vita release? God I hope so..

hopefully there's a steam version :(

Hopefully they'll eventually bring Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3. Got to love Darth Maul.

i hope spiderman will be playable again XD

Beast.

So its going to be two old ps1 games in 1 game in Tony Hawks HD. And i had to say thats not a bad move from Actevision at all so all the same stuff from ther tony haws 1 and 2 will be all in one game. Know if they only capcom do that for Res Evil games .

As long as we dont need the kinect or motion gaming im good with it. Honestly motion gaming is NOT the future of gaming. all wee jus is a controller to hold with buttons to press. not that fancy stupid stuff. Gaming is getting lame if they keep this up. You can go ahead and dislike my comment now guys.. =/ im just being honest. gimme a thumbs up if you grew up during the time when classic gaming was alll the rage.

@Jinjuri I really hope they don't replace the 90's ska, punk and underground hip-hop with dubstep.

They have already planned to do this many years ago. Tony Hawks 1 and 2 were going to be a HD update for the Xbox, with Tony Hawks X2, way back when. Why are they trying to push this off as something completely new. For skateboarding games, EA skate is beating Tony Hawks with how the game feels and plays. The Tony Hawks Franchise has nothing on them, other than the classic level creater which is simple to use and you'll have decent looking skate parks built in no time. As soon as EA skate brings in a better create a park system, there will be hardly anything left for the Tony Hawks pro skater games for people who want a realistic skating game.

Oh, thank God. This is how Tony Hawk Pro Skater should've always been. Forget skateboard controllers, just give us the pad and we're ready.

I will never forget the countless hours I spent playing THPS1 to 3 in PlayStation. That game gave me and my friends a lot of fond memories.

is this the future of gaming? hd remakes?

Tony Hawk looked way strung out the the VGA.

Back to where it all started. I remember when my friends and I would play the Pizza Hut demo CD for the original THPS. It only had Tony Hawk, Kareem Campbell, and only one map - the warehouse map shown here. We played that for ages, but finally got the full game when it was released. One of the funnest games from my childhood.

Yes. I'm happy about this, a few years ago my house was broken into and all of my old xbox games were stolen, i had every single tony hawk game up to and including Project 8 on 360. This is a great chance for me to revisit my old favorites without having to repurchase use copies of all the old classics. I simply hope that they physics and score system are not as incredibly outlandish as they were in Underground 2, American Wasteland and Project 8. I'm hoping they 'hawk' back to the physics of Pro Skater 1 - 4. They must include the original skaters and a character creator, level creator, and deck creator better than any of the games! After this however, I have no hope for any new Tony Hawk games. They simply can't do anything that hasn't been done. In fact i'd venture to say that the next logical evolution to the Tony Hawk formula was accomplished by Skate, and i'm looking forward to seeing what EA brings to the table with Skate 4 when it eventually comes out. (on a side note, i'm very happy we haven't even heard of it yet, because it means they are probably putting work into it instead of making it an annual series as i was afraid it was turning into)

Cool! I'll definitely consider buying this! I love the old TH games.

Eh... not that excited about recycled content, because I kind of played those games to death. But hopefully this means that they're going to go back to the roots with the next Tony Hawk game.

This sounds great, but Robomodo is still developing it. They will surely find some way to f*ck it up.

Why not just reboot the franchise with a whole new Tony Hawk?? Go back to basics but use all of the advances in the series up to TH3. Add Park Editor, Character Editor and Online play and you'd have a winner.

This is actually good. I love playing games that made me happy as a kid. THPS 1 - THUG 1 were good. The rest were weak.

It is unfortunate to see how the only way the Tony Hawk franchise can revamp their name is to re-sell the classics...the only good tony hawks until after Tony Hawk 3.

"Select" levels. Not 1 and 2 in their entirety? Darn. How about the park creator? That was loads of fun, but probably won't be in this either. I'd really like to see a true HD remake of the first two games.

So...we get the Tony Hawk games we actually liked, instead of an awful new one requiring a gimmicky peripheral? Sounds good to me!

I have one thing to say about this.....CLASSIC!

For under twenty bucks this is the best news I've heard from the Tony Hawk series in... oh God it has been too long.

strangely I was just talking about this earlier

How about instead of mooching off of the predecessor's succes they make a good new Tony Hawk game again.

Old Tony Hawk games were so much fun! Looking forward to this!

Wow, Activision did something right. Better not require any periph-sorry, not gonna jinx it!
