Why Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater Fans Are Worried About Major Changes to the Upcoming PS5 and PS4 Release

Back in the day, Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater felt like the Call of Duty for PlayStation fans. It wasn’t just popular; it made a lasting mark on culture.

The success led to the series being stretched thin. To keep things fresh, the original team, Neversoft, decided to switch things up with Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 4.

Unlike the first three games, which timed your runs, the fourth installment let players roam freely. You could explore the maps and find characters to trigger challenges.

This was a hit, influencing later games like Tony Hawk’s Underground.

Now, with the upcoming remake of Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4 for PS5 and PS4, the classic format will be changed. The PS Store describes it as “new parks or timeless parks from both THPS3 and THPS4, authentically remade in jaw-dropping 4K resolution with streamlined goals and the epic two-minute format.”

This announcement has some fans concerned. The original campaign format was beloved, and many feel this change might risk losing its charm.

Even the mods of the franchise’s Reddit community urged fans to stay calm. They acknowledge the mixed feelings but remind everyone that they share a common excitement for the game.
