I do have an inexplainable urge to buy this game. Despite owning THPS1 and 2, and the re-releases, and the remakes, and the THPS HD game...
I swear if it weren't released on Epic exclusively I wouldve paid another 40 bucks to play the same game again.

The game is great. Plays as well as the series ever has and is really faithful. My only complaint is you have lots of moves from the later games like reverts and spine transfers, but they didn't make the THPS 2 score challenges higher. They added in lots of secret absurd 10+ million point challenges though if you're desperate for a true challenge.

Tony Hawk says Activision ‘scrapped a 3 + 4 remake’ following Vicarious Visions’ merger​

Andy Robinson 21st Jun 2022 / 12:44 am

The veteran developer was officially folded into Blizzard earlier this year
A planned remake of Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 and 4 was canned due to Activision Blizzard’s decision to absorb 1 + 2 developer Vicarious Visions.

That’s according to the pro skater himself, who claimed during a live stream on Monday that Activision had briefly taken pitches from other studios, but allegedly wasn’t happy with any of them.

“That was the plan, even up until the release date of [1 and 2],” Hawk said. “We were doing 3 and 4, and then Vicarious got kind of absorbed, and then they were looking for other developers, and then it was over.”

He added: “The truth of it is [Activision] were trying to find somebody to do 3 and 4 but they just didn’t really trust anyone the way they did Vicarious.

“So they took other pitches from other studios, like, ‘what would you do with the THPS title?’ And they didn’t like anything they heard, and then that was it.

“Who knows? Maybe when the dust settles, we’ll figure it out. You never know. I never would’ve thought we were going to do 1 and 2 20 years later.”

Activision Blizzard announced in January 2021 that it planned to fold Vicarious Visions into Blizzard as a support team, and the merger became official in April of this year.

At the time, Activision Blizzard said the Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 + 2 and Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy developer would no longer be creating games as a lead studio.

Going forward, the Vicarious Visions team of around 200 people will be employees of Blizzard and “fully dedicated to existing Blizzard games and initiatives,” Activision Blizzard said.

The veteran studio was formed over 30 years ago and has worked on dozens of titles, including Skylanders, Guitar Hero, Destiny and Call of Duty.

2020’s Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 + 2 – its most recent game and its last as a lead developer – received favourable reviews from critics and debuted as the fastest-selling entry in the franchise, selling one million copies within its first two weeks.

2017’s Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy was an even bigger success with 10 million copies sold in its first two years.

VGC’s Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 + 2 review said of the game: “Vicarious Visions has delivered a superb remake of two iconic games without letting modern gaming’s vices get in the way.”

It's just as well as they would have stripped out all the edgy early 2000s elements like having Jenna Jameson as a secret character, the demon chick, the air force chick etc.

Not to mention no Marvel characters again.

Would have been cool to see what the levels would have looked like I guess.

It isn't on Steam? That's an oversight.

Let me guess: Epic exclusive or some dumb shit? That store is a cancer.

Yep, epic. Steam has, or had, the first remake, thpsHD, which was terrible and replaced the music with nu-tallica for some reason.

Personally I'm okay with the dreamcast versions that I have. But I do miss out on QoL features like the manuals from later installments back ported into 1

Dreamcast versions are usually superior. But only two people had a Dreamcast and they are going to post in this thread to prove me wrong.
