Tony Hawk 3 Should Be in That Collection Too, Hey?

[Video Games Are Dumb]

Hello Era,

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 4 drew a line in the sand. Gone were the time limits. No longer was there a need for free skate. Now Tony would skate around and get missions and goals. A design premise that would continue for the next few entries.

So if they're going to package Tony Hawk 1 + 2, why not include 3? They're all essentially the same gameplay style of arcade level accomplishments. In hindsight it actually felt like a real trilogy before the hard break into exploration games.

I don't think they would release Tony Hawk 3 HD alone but it doesn't really fit thematically with the other games they could potentiality package together. So beyond this first collection, it's always going to be a bit of an odd duck. Which is a shame given how dang good it is.

Costs more money, artist time, developer time and licensing cost. They probably just figured 2 was good enough for what they wanted to spend and that was it.

They already added reverts, they could just do Tony Hawk 3 DLC levels like they did with that last terrible attempt at a THPS remake. I'm almost sure it'll happen since they did it before (and Activision loves money).

 

[ClivePwned]

I'm guessing they're holding back to do a 3+4 (since they're numerical before bundling the others every year)
activision aren't exactly releasing too many new games or new IP right now so looks like remasters of everything that ever sold in decent numbers.

but yeah 3 really does belong in a package with 1 and 2

 

[Okabe]

Just give me CKY and then I'm good

 

[Derachi]

I can see them selling it as DLC. DLC that I will happily buy. Like a sucker.

 

[RingRang]

I completely agree. I think it's a weird omission. The first 3 games were all built from the same mold.

My hope is that they release 3 separately for $20 later on.

 

[Diarrhea Day-Lewis]

Ideally yes but it might have had more licensing issues that would've made it very different idk

You're not wrong. That's a practical way of looking at the realistic challenges for modern development.

Alternatively, and I understand this my seem a bit childish, I just want it.

 

[Minions]

I mean, if they included the third game, I think it would be $60. However, 1&2 costing $40, already puts the game in impulse buy territory when it goes on sale. So I'd say they made the right call. The licensing on music alone has to be a ton of money for games 1+2.

 

[thepenguin55]

I think it's pretty obvious that vol 2 will be THPS 3 & 4. I would much rather wait for 3 than not get 4 at all. Also the stage designs in 3 have far more in common with 4 than 1 or 2.

 

[RedMercury]

I really hope for the games that are there they give the option to remove the timers, if they don't I'm not getting it. It's cumbersome to be kicked out of levels after 2 minutes over, and over, and over.

 

[J_ToSaveTheDay]

3 is my personal favorite and I hope it does get this remake treatment eventually, but 1+2 is a pretty daunting task in itself and it's understandable why it's not included right now.

 

[Video Games Are Dumb]

I think that's a possibility considering they can't really cash in on THUG.
But dang it, 3 and 4 are so different from one another!

 

[jon bones]

Sell me $25 THPS3 DLC PLEASE!! Just keep adding to the client so we have one big glorious THPS community again

 

[PROh1bited]

Maybe 3 as dlc? Then they can sell it in a bundle and call it 1+2+3.

 

[onpoint]

Because they're adding reverts to the collection, I'm in the "THPS3 levels as DLC camp" and I'm saddened by it. I really wish they'd do 3 and 4 as their own collection so I can always play it off the disc/cartridge without having to worry about it disappearing someday. 3 is my absolute favorite game in the series and I'd hate to lose an upscaled version to the sands of time if these are being handled with the care they deserve.

 

[StonerSage]

I'm getting some serious deja vu from when the last time they did this. It's a trilogy and the thirds omission is odd. Why not follow the Crash and Spyro models?

 

[CRIMSON-XIII]

Maybe they can do THPS 3 + 4 together.

 

[Brazil]

They'll absolutely add THPS3 and THPS4 stuff through DLC. They'll probably try to copy the CTR model.

 

[Jason Frost]

THPS 3 and even THPS 4 should be there.

It would make that collection of Tony Hawk Pro Skater complete and perfect.

I think that's more than a possibility. Honestly I think the collection of 1 & 2 would have to sell pretty poorly for vol 2 to not happen.

The option is called free skate. It's been in the series since the beginning.

 

[Anth0ny]

ho, lets go

 

[RedMercury]

You can free skate but that isn't the same as career mode and collecting stuff in the levels though right? It doesn't count towards career mode where you get kicked out of levels after two minutes and have ten objectives in each level. I really think people who haven't played these before are going to be like "wtf, why do I only have two minutes, I'm just getting started, I hate sitting through these loading screens", etc.

God I hope so. I'll quadruple dip on everything.

That's the whole challenge of the series. The objectives themselves aren't particularly difficult. It's hitting them in a single session that asks of you. So you go to free skate to practice or just chill. Then career to put your skills to the test.

 

[smart patrol]

If it's DLC I hope it's the full game and not select levels like in THPS HD.

There's a lot of NPCs and more stuff going on in the levels in 3 and 4 so it would be a bigger undertaking.

 

[Dominic Decoco]

Please just give me THUG

 

[infinityBCRT]

I would've been okay if it was only 1 but they made sure it was good. 1+2 is fine. Both are classics. If it turns out well and sells well there's no reason they won't do 3+4 in a year or two.

 

[newmoneytrash]

they should do 3 as DLC and then make a new game

Just give me CKY and then I'm good

THEY DELETED ALL THE TOURISTS AT THE BOTTOM OF THE LAKE

 

[PS9]

How would they sell 3+4 next year tho?

 

[Betty]

Just have them do a second collection of 3 & 4.

4 was my favourite.

 

[Z-Beat]

I'd love that but I'm by no means disappointed with the way the remaster is looking. Looks great, they got most of the music which is a licensing nightmare I didn't expect them to solve, added quality of life improvements from future games, etc.

I'd just like the ability to put in cheat codes to play as Darth Maul again

 

[TDLink]

100% yes. They are clearly holding it back to sell as a 3+4 collection or DLC for this collection.

 

[antitrop]

I agree that 4 felt like a turning point and 1-3 all feel right at home together, but eh, this will be hopefully be successful and there will be a 3+4 pack.

 

[Deleted member 23850]

Tony Hawk 3 is big enough to get its own remake, IMO.

Just expand the haunted house and we're good.

 

[AlexFlame116]

THPS3 deserves a full release. It not being included is the only thing that prevents me from saying that this upcoming 1+2 Remaster is perfection. I really hope we get it soon.

I also really hope we get a THUG 1 and 2 Remaster Collection as well! My favorite of the Tony Hawk games.

 

[RockmanBN]

As long as they can get to tge THUG games, then I'll be satisfied.

 

[Muitnorts]

It should be there with the other two. I'm excited for the remake but thinking about it last time I played THPS2 I got 100% in, like, an hour.
It's always fun just messing around in them but if they don't add some extra challenges it's going to feel like the games are over in a flash.

 

[theAllseeingEYE]

I would love a Tony Hawk 3 and 4 remaster next. So long as they do that, I'm happy. Also, completely remaking two game is a lot of work, so I'm fine with waiting ti see how these turn out.

 

[BBboy20]

It would be nice for 1 to 4 to be packaged but eh.

 

[NoneLikeAlex]

Let's let them not fuck up 1+2 first, then we'll get on to 3 and 4.

 

[Razgriz-Specter]

Alone makes 3 worthy of being in

 

[SilverX]

The cruise and airport levels in THPS3 were legit some of the greatest levels in any skateboarding game

 

[Megatron]

No. Just try to make these awesome. And if you suceed I will buy a TH3 and 4 collection.

 

[Grimace McRib]

Kind of a no brainer. THPS3 was my favorite of the group, the true next gen sequel I was looking for it and didn't disappoint. If this was included, it would be an instabuy for me.

 

[nachum00]

Nah. Sure it fits more with 1 and 2. But it makes more sense to release two games per bundle. Like if 3 Was included what would they do with 4? Just release it by its self? I expect them to release 3+4 then if that does well maybe THUG1+THUG2.
