Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 + 2 is a 2020 skateboarding video game developed by Vicarious Visions and published by Activision. It was released for PlayStation 4, Windows, and Xbox One on September 4, 2020, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S on March 26, 2021, and Nintendo Switch on June 25 of the same year. It is a remake of the first two games in the Tony Hawk's series: Tony Hawk's Pro Skater (1999) and Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 (2000), which were originally developed by Neversoft. It was the first major console game in the series since Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 5 (2015) and is Vicarious Visions' final work as a subsidiary of Activision before it was merged into Blizzard Entertainment on January 22, 2021.
Runs well on modern hardware.

This game had an offline mode when i first purchased it. Then in a later update they switched that to being always online. You know what that means? It means Im NEVER spending money on Activision games Ever Again. Period
I have finished this on Epic, bought it again on Steam. It's THAT good. I'll finish it again on Steam too, because it's just a fantastic remake. I played THPS2 when I was little, so that's my favorite game of the series, so I love the first half of this game and adore the second half. Seeing all the levels remade into a modern engine with a pretty solid performance (I know I have a 4090, but this thing ran great on my old PC with a 3080 and even on my laptop with a 3070 and that laptop was running it at 100+ FPS on a 4K TV with just minor upscaling - 80% or so). Ultrawide seems pretty good too, I just wish I could squeeze the UI to the 16:9 aspect ratio, but thankfully UI is not super important in this game. Too bad Vicarious Visions are gone now, working on live action Diablo 4 slop. Hopefully they'll be given some more interesting projects to work on, because these guys are talented.
Makes me feel 14 again. It nearly has all the good and bad Parts of the old Versions, just with better Graphics. Maybe it's because I'm old now, but the Challenges might be a bit more difficult.
