Speaking to the magazine, Hawk says “this is just the start…with that baseline we’re hopefully going to be able to help remaster other titles, Pro Skater 3 and 4 even, and start to work on a new direction. Based on a statement he’s made in the latest issue of Game Informer however, he doesn’t want to stop there. Just a few months ago, Tony Hawk let us in on 2020’s worst-kept secret: Vicarious Visions and Activision were creating a remaster of the first two games called Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1+2.ĭue out in September on PC, PS4 and Xbox One, the revival bundles together the two classic entries, with tons of input from Hawk himself and several other skaters. The unfortunately-named Tony Hawk 5 was a new low for the series, and left us hanging for nearly five years as we anxiously awaited the fate of this once-beloved franchise. Then that was it,” Tony Hawk revealed during a live stream.For a while there, it looked like the future of Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater was on hold or at a bitter end. So they took other pitches from other studios, asking like ‘what would you do with the THPS title’ and they didn’t like anything they heard. The truth of it is they were trying to find someone to do 3 and 4 but they just didn’t really trust anyone the way they did Vicarious. “Even up until the release day of THPS 1+2 we were going 3 and 4, and then Vicarious got absorbed and then were looking at other developers and then it was over. The news of the cancellation follows the developer’s complete merger into the company known for World of Warcraft, Diablo, and Overwatch stating that they are “fully dedicated to Blizzard games.” The move was a sign that the developer was no more and the fanbase is rightfully concerned for the future of the franchise, now the skateboarding legend’s comments on the Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4 remakes are worrying.
If you were still holding out hope for remakes for Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4, well sorry to disappoint but they were apparently cancelled following news of Vicarious Vision’s merger with Blizzard Entertainment in January 2021, according to Tony Hawk himself during a Twitch live stream hosted by former Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 + 2 lead designer, Andy Gentile.
