Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 and 2 remastered

[Martynt74]

I'm insanely excited about this. Was only about a month ago we were reminiscing about it on a Whatsapp chat.

After reading about the release fired up THPS2 for a play. Still plays as well as I remember back in the day, could easily loose a few hours to it. One of my favourite game soundtracks too. High hopes for this one!

Not all by the sounds of it "songs from the original soundtrack"

Almost all original tracks are returning

By our reckoning, that means only three - Committed by Unsane, B-Boy Document '99 by The High & Mighty and Out With The Old by Alley Life - aren't back.

THPS2 was a magical game in my teens.

Only a little over a month away, i genuinely cannot wait!

I hope the gameplay holds up. I've not really kept up with it, are the controls etc the same as the original? I've never gone back and played them, but my general feeling is that the old school "press the buttons in the right order" type control scheme just won't hold up to what Skate had, and how Skater XL and Session are approaching it.

Just downloaded the demo at it seems pretty faithful, the opening vid is a good watch.

Runs at 60fps on the One X and graphically looks really nice.

Demo is only available via digital preorder (I plan to cancel and buy physical), you play as Tony in Warehouse for 2 mins - nothing too elaborate but good to know how it plays etc, which is as I remember.

Just a slight grievance, every time you do a trick Tony makes "wooo" noises, there seems to be a total of 2 or 3 whole variations so that gets stale quickly. Other than that, very much looking forward to 4th Sept.

Had a go of the Demo it’s pretty good. Biggest downside by far is the crappy Xbox one D pad. It’s a nightmare with this game....

Shame there's no standalone demo. Seems demos these days are few and far between.

Makes no sense to make a demo for people who pre-order. Just make the demo live, if the game is that good then bring out a demo!

So you can only play the demo if you pre-order? Isn't the whole point of a demo to let people try a game to see if they want to buy it?

Double post! Forums seem to be acting weird!

Nonsense really, isn't it.

You can just pre order play the demo then cancel the pre order but I agree why make you pre order for the demo in the first place.

 

[Shmiler]

THPS2 was one of my all time favourite games. I haven’t played the demo but the YouTube videos I’ve seen make me very excited to play this release.

 

[Fry750]

Smidgen of good news - you can cancel the digital preorder via Microsoft website direct, just hit cancel under purchase history.

Hooray, I was expecting a laborious back and forth with support agents.

Tempted to go for the ltd edition with THPS deck...

 

[Martynt74]

Downloaded the demo on Saturday night. Really takes you back and even muscle memory returned to automatically know to flick up/down to get on 2 wheels

 

[chroniclard]

Seems strange only having the demo for pre orders.

Listening to the playlist above.

[MrMarvelous]

Are there any plans to release a demo to the public instead of a pre-order bonus?
