really looks interesting
My last skateboarding game i played was the orginal Tony Hawk on PSone. I got banned from playing it again because me and my friends were trying out some of the tricks and i almost broke my neck jumping over a oil drum. I miss you stupid tricks.
It's the time of HD remakes! And what a wonderful time it is! breaks into dance ... Can I get a Tony Hawk Pro Skater HD?! Can I get a MDK2 HD?! Aww yeah, we goin' all retro ;)
I've been waiting for the announcement for a while - it simply makes sense. Remake and re-release some of the most beloved games in the Tony Hawk series, reinvigorate the franchise with new excitement, and then use that as a springboard to the next full new game.
Very clever.
As long as they don't remake the whole library of Tony Hawk's games. What ever happened to Skate or is it on the back burner because of SSX.
man its been so long since i played any of these games, i have a feeling i might just get back into them, forgot how fun they cold be
I remember this particular one! It was awesome. Makes sense that they will start doing HD remakes. He cant really star in a new game, being 43 already! Maybe the next jump will be Tony Hawk's Kids doing their own games. @FullMetal MDK, I think there were alot of kids banned from skatebording after the release of these games. I was also one of them. Had a broken wrist to trying to do a kickflip. :-)
