The long awaited ‘HD’ update of the classic Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater series is finally here on Xbox Live this week. Check out some of the new stuff in the game with the Hawkman himself in the new trailer.
Developer Robomodo reinvents a classic with new looks, the same old (excellent) gameplay, and a little DLC.
It’s actually pretty great to hear that Actvision will be supporting THPSHD with fresh infusions of DLC. More of what players loved about the franchise is definitely not a bad thing. When the first DLC pack posts in a few weeks on Live, it’ll include new skaters, levels from THPS3, and “more”- and will run you a cool 400mspts.
And even though the game is only on Live this week, PSN and PC gamers shouldn’t fret too much as Tony will be kickflipping over to those platforms before the Summer is out. For now though, you can add Tony hawk’s Pro Skater HD to your Xbox download queue (for 1200mspts) right here.
The first few Tony Hawk games were epic my first roomates and I would play that game for days, we had stupid tournaments etc..it was good times but then it became just more of the same and at one point it even seemed to take a few steps backward in graphics and button layouts did not make sense, ( i cant remember exactly which specific T.H. game it was, probably like Tony hawk 31 or something, lol) but I can actually say that I will probably play this since it has been such a long time since I played a T.H. game im sure it will be some good fun.
But, but… can I use my Tony Hawk Ride skateboard peripheral with it? I really, really wanna use it!
I'm hoping for an updated PC version. TH2 was my favourite. Stupid, frustrating fun all round!
