The demo for Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 + 2 makes us think the upcoming remake actually understands why people loved these games so much. Read our impressions.
is a remake of the first two games in the beloved skateboarding game series that comes out on September 4. The series has taken twists and turns that have often led to, uh, not so great games, but after playing this simple, little demo for about four hours, this remake feels like a genuine return to form.
The demo consists of one level, the Warehouse from the original Tony Hawk game—one of those classic levels that almost everyone, even those who might’ve only played or seen the original games in passing, is aware of. And while the level in the remake looks more detailed than the original one did in 1999, it feels just the same, which is a—these moves did not come into play until the second and third games—but it is hard to imagine playing a Pro Skater game without those tricks at this point.
My highest score in the demo, so far, is 825,000. I’m not even sure if that is really good or just okay, but it was such fun crafting lines and finding the rhythms of the level to get such a score in the first place. Skateboarding games have shifted and changed so much since these games first released, and while I am a sucker for the sim post-Tony Hawk’s Pro SkaterTime capsules and nostalgia are slippery, dangerous things in this modern landscape.
With such a bare bones demo, it is almost as if they want players to know that they got the game to feel right at its most basic level, and give us hope that everything else will follow suit. Given the troubled history of the series past, say, 2004 or so, it’s important for the remake to establish trust like that—to let us know that this remake gets why those games were so popular 20 years ago, and understands how to recreate that feeling today.
