Tony Hawk HDTony Hawk HD news brought me back here once again...
Nostalgia is a powerful thing.
Many of us talked about this type of release since the release of HD consoles, and now it seems to finally be happening. Too bad its only 1+2. THPS2x was one of my favorite games of the last generation and all, but I gotta admit that I think another remake is kinda silly. I feel like I will buy this if only to keep my hopes alive for a proper 3+4 and possibly even THUG remake. Also, its worth noting, this is leaps and bounds better then the last 4 or so releases, none of which I have purchased, from what anyone could probably safely admit is an all but dead franchise. TH seems like an elderly relative that has slipped away steadily the past few years due to alzheimer's or dementia. The grandparent/uncle/aunt/etc is still physically there but only seem like a shell to their former self.
Anyway, despite being a 1+2 remake, ala THPS2x, I hope they include THPS3+'s revert mechanic. Otherwise, I don't see much potential for extended plays online even with the all important nostalgia factor. I can say for sure that it'll be weird and fun returning to those old levels and such. I imagine it will feel much like walking through one's old neighborhood after years away. Fuck, I know I'll probably feel especially weird not having a keyboard glued to my lap while wiping out on a million+ combo.
So, yep, there's my bit. Cheers guys!
