Tony Hawk HD Coming Summer 2012

The original Tony Hawk Pro Skater started a revolution in the world of sports gaming. It had great mechanics, broad appeal, and one of the best soundtracks ever stuck in a digital product. Unfortunately, the series went downhill fast, with most fans agreeing that the free-roaming, random environment builds of later titles never really lived up to the promise of the original.

Birdman seems to have realized that fans really just want a return to form, and announced at this weekend’s VGAs that a remastered version of the original game will be hitting digital shelves sometime soon. As of today, we have a few more details regarding what players can expect. First, remastered levels from THPS1 and 2, plus a bunch of new skaters.

The game is being developed by the company behind Tony Hawk Ride, Robomodo. But before you get your pitchforks out and storm the nearest GameStop, you should know that Tony Hawk HD is being developed with traditional controls in mind – you’ll play with your PlayStation or Xbox controller.

Tony Hawk Pro Skater HD is slated for a summer 2012 release, the perfect time for a skating game.

Hopefully the game manages to recapture the pure fun of the original. I still remember my friends and I hitting a few rounds of Pro Skater before heading out to get our boards confiscated by angry cops in parking lots. Those were the days.

Aaaand a quick search for the original Pro Skater indicates that it came out 12 years ago. Man, today I feel old.
