Now Tony Hawk's is getting in on the act as Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 AND 2 are getting a joint remastered game in 2020.
GRINDING: It used to be fun to grind in games
It has certainly grabbed the attention of gamers around the world.
THPS 1-4 all received exceptionally strong reviews and are all worthy of a remastered version.
So if this game is a hit then you can expect THPS 3 & 4 to be following down the road very soon.
Next Gen optimized?
Due to the timing of the Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 and 2 remakes, there's a chance they will be made specifically with next gen consoles in mind.
That means a lot of extra processing power and massively improved specs that could expand the hugely influential series to new heights!
THPS 1+2 release date
The release date has been confirmed for 4 September, 2020.
The game is confirmed to be on the PS4, Xbox One, and PC via Epic Games.
Hopefully it will be on Switch too at some point.
Tony Hawk's backward compatibility on PS5/Series X?
We are waiting to hear about if there will be a next-gen console version of the game optimized for the upcoming powerhouse consoles.
Given Microsoft's Smart Delivery and the backward compatibility, however, players will be able to enjoy it on the new consoles regardless.
Trailer
The trailer is just as spine-tingling as you'd expect.
With a soundtrack that brings you right back to the originals and the rumble of the wheels on concrete this game immediately feels like a hit.
Soundtrack
Speaking of the music, a lot of the original soundtrack is returning to bring you right back into the late 90s.
With a Spotify playlist already made and the room for more tracks that we all know and associate with the game, it looks like this will be the rare video game you don't mute.

Multiplayer
You might not be able to get your buddies over for a game of THPS right now, but once lockdowns lift you can.
THPS 1+2 will have split-screen multiplayer as well as online so that you can challenge your friends any time, anywhere.
Classic locations & levels
As you'd expect from a remastered, you'll have all the old classic locations and levels you remember.
The only difficulty will be hitting those million-plus combos!
STUNNING: This game is 4K ready
With the wild success of huge open-world games like the Assassin's Creed series and GTA it would be amazing to get a wider world in THPS 1+2 to explore, but heading back to our old stomping grounds will do.
