Activision may be reviving a classic, but that doesn?t mean it can?t get a splash of new. Alongside new present-day, current-age scans of the original lineup, Tony Hawk?s Pro Skater 1 and 2 is getting eight newer skaters added to the game, including Tony?s son, Riley. The publisher also just revealed that the Warehouse demo will be available for all who preorder on August 14, meaning you can get nearly a full month of practice in before the full game launches in September.
I went down a rabbit hole of skateboarding videos in the fervor of a new Tony Hawk game being announced. Call it nostalgia, but the Tony Hawk series was a major part of my teen years and its something I haven?t connected with since, so it felt like as good a time as any to see what was new in the world of skate. And maybe you don?t know, but Tony Hawk is 51 years old and still skating. All I can think about is his hips and how one bad fall could spell a bad day?or rest of his life. (He recently messed up one of his fingers pretty badly.) There?s even this video of him learning a brand-new trick last year, which shows a real connection he has with the new skate culture of today.
