Coming to the skaters, apart from Tony Hawk himself, the games will feature all of the original lineups. That includes names like Bucky Lasek, Steve Caballero, Geoff Rowley, Kareem Campbell, Andrew Reynolds, Elissa Steamer, Bob Burnquist, and Chad Muska.

Remaking a popular game is never as easy as it sounds. Developers are required to strike the perfect balance of nostalgia and originality. Not only do they need to attract new players, but they also have to keep the original fan base content.

Vicarious Visions, the studio behind the remastered editions is confident they can do exactly that. COO Simon Ebejer had some encouraging words for those eagerly awaiting the game.

“The challenge of a faithful remaster is knowing where to push the boundaries, and what to keep sacred. It’s important to capture the original experience.”
