Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1-2 Remaster was announced at Summer Game Fest, fans suspected that Activision would return to the franchise as a THPS game was being rumored for months, professional skaters claimed that there will be a game in 2020, which might have been teasing from Activision, hype kept building as the music streamed in Summer Game Fest before the beginning of the stream was from the first two games.
According to Vicarious Visions’ executive Jen Oneal Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1-2 Remasters will feel as good as the old ones did. For that approach, original soundtrack, maps, and even Neversoft developers were brought back.
We started with the Neversoft engine looking at the codebase for the handling brought that over, also looked at the level layout and bringing over the geometry as a starting point and you upgrade everything from there, from the animation to the high res graphics.
Oneal also confirmed Gamespot that the game won’t have microtransactions, all the content will be unlockable through gameplay.
“Everything that you see at launch is going to be unlocked with gameplay. We’re not planning on having monetization at launch,” Oneal said, adding that Vicarious put a focus on making sure players are getting a “complete package.” If there is demand for additional content, Vicarious Visions might consider releasing more stuff to buy with real money down the road.
