Activision is gearing up for the release of Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4 on July 11. Before that, they’ve rolled out a demo for players, but there’s a catch: it’s only available to those who pre-order the game. Not quite your typical “try before you buy” scenario.
This remake of the classic skating games will have a fresh feel with many exciting updates. Expect new skaters, awesome tricks, and an even cooler soundtrack. Players can look forward to new skating locations too, including a water park, a pinball table, and a movie studio. Plus, there’s cross-platform multiplayer support for up to eight players.
In multiplayer, one engaging feature is the HAWK mode. Here, players race against the clock to find letters hidden around the parks. There’s also a Free Skate mode for laid-back skating, plus several competitive activities like Trick Attack and Graffiti.
The game includes a diverse lineup of skaters, such as Rayssa Leal and Zion Wright, and even the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle, Michelangelo, as a secret character.
Players can also enjoy the Create-A-Skater and an upgraded Create-A-Park feature. New props like speed boost pads will add even more fun, along with a photo mode for capturing those epic skate moments.
Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4 will be available on various platforms, including PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and PC. The demo is out now on Xbox, PlayStation, and PC, featuring limited access to parks and characters.
The excitement surrounding the game reflects a larger trend in gaming. Recent surveys show that remakes and remasters of classic games are increasingly popular. A report from the Entertainment Software Association states that 79% of gamers enjoy revisiting games from their childhood. This trend shows how nostalgia can drive interest in new versions of beloved titles.
With so much to look forward to, fans are buzzing on social media. Players are sharing their anticipation, showcasing creative designs, and discussing the return of their favorite skaters. The energy around Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4 is palpable, and it’ll be interesting to see how well it resonates with both new players and long-time fans.
