Dunno if this counts as a "hot take" but best game in the franchise IMO. Also my GOTY. I cant stop playing it. I spent like 3 hours last night eating shit trying to get one of the challenges done and I always kept wanting to try again.

Super happy. I hope this means more remakes or maybe even a new game by the game behind this remake.

My favorite game of the year, tbh.

Fantastic news. It's been a feel-good story to see this franchise roaring back to life.

All it took was making a good bloody game, somewhere in the past 15 odd years Activision forgot that. Glad they remembered.

Yessssss, Tony Hawk is back for real! I'll take ANYTHING: a THPS 3+4, a THUG 1+2 a new game, whatever.

Activisions new plan of attack:

- remake beloved game/s to test the waters
- make it a good remake
- be suprised that people love it
- make more remasters if possible
- make an original entry in the series
- people love it
- start churning them out to fast
- wonder why people start losing interest
- release more
- beat the series into the ground again
- stop making them for another 10-15 years
- repeat

I don't purchase games day 1.

This game was the exception.

I've been having a blast playing, but most of my time with the THPS franchise was with Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3. Canada, Suburbia, Airport, Cruise...those levels with the music hit me with the nostalgia pretty hard.

I'm really hoping we see either Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3+4 remakes, or THPS 3 added on as fully fledged DLC, replete with music and all.

Bring on 3 and 4 as dlc. It'd be nice to have the first four games in one package, especially for multiplayer.

Not surprising considering it's the only good entry in the series that's been able to be preordered/bought day one on digital. But good to hear nonetheless.

People have been asking for this for years, no surprise. Glad they finally got it right.

Great to hear, having a blast with it. I've been watching skate videos all week on Youtube as a result. I'm seriously considering picking it up again.

Activision really struck gold this gen remaking some classic IPs - THPS, Crash, Spyro, etc - and I couldn't be happier.

Ubi, take note, this is how you do a remake.

I'd much rather see Vicarious Visions get the green light to make their own Tony Hawk. I'd be totally happy with a Cross-gen entry, the visuals aren't what make the game great (though they are good).

We'll see what happens with Spyro then.

can we have the theme to THPS 3 be 'Amoeba' re-recorded to sing "tony Hawk?"

I'm at the end of my time (just filling in the last few things ike secret tapes and trying to get gold medals on the last few comps before my hands cramp up in pain) but really enjoyed the remaster. I love THPS 3, but disliked the bloat of the series and jackass-style minigames from 4 onwards.
