But the series’ downfall really started when it veered off from what made people love it in the first place.Īs much as people (myself included) love Tony Hawk’s Underground 1 and 2, that is where the series started to go off course. Hawk also says that he would like to “start to work on a new direction” for the series as well.
Tony Hawk Pro Skater 1 and 2 should appeal to old fans of the series, as well as a new generation of gamers whose current skater games don’t quite match up. But nostalgia is a hell of a drug, and if the game controls as well as it appears it does, then I have no doubt the game will do extremely well. Now of course this all hinges on how well the remake performs. Tony Hawk says in the interview: “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. But the Birdman himself has added a new tantalizing tidbit in an interview in the latest issue of Game Informer - fans will be happy to know that Tony Hawk doesn’t want to stop remakes with the first two games.

The hype for the upcoming remake of Tony Hawk Pro Skater 1 and 2 has been building steadily since the game’s initial announcement.
