- Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 + 4 developer is trying to figure out who put the edgy Guitar Hero gag in the game it made, promises to remove it in the next update even though players want it to stay - 15 July 2025
Iron Galaxy, the studio that made the Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 + 4 remake, says it is investigating how an amusing, some might say slightly edgy , reference to Guitar Hero and developer Neversoft ended up in the game. It also committed to removing the image in question, even though players are now asking the studio to just leave it alone... Read more.
- Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4 (PS5) Review - 14 July 2025
The remasters of the first two games to bear the Hawkman’s name came as a breath of nostalgic fresh air back in 2021, recapturing the essence of an era. Now, Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4 gives the same treatment to the next two games in the franchise, but much like their original versions on PlayStation 2, they feel a little less… essential. Iron Galaxy Studios has taken the torch from Vicarious Visions to remaster the back half of Neversoft’s genre-defining franchise (and we’ll all keep pretending the fifth game didn’t happen ). This project almost didn’t see the light of day when Vicarious became a casualty of the Activision-Blizzard acquisition . Still, Iron Galaxy stepped in to see it through, having assisted with the excellent Metroid Prime Remastered. They’ve largely lived up to the presentational standard of THPS1+2 . Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4 merges the two “campaigns” into a…

- Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4 Demo Nails the Landing - 11 June 2025
When Activision first announced that Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4 was getting the full remake treatment, there was this quiet tension hanging in the air. Could they really pull it off again? After the wild success of Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1+2 , fans were hungry for more but also wary. The third and fourth entries in the series hold a particular place in skateboarding game history. They’re where the series truly found its groove: tighter controls, more sprawling and complex levels, bigger trick lists, and the wild sense of freedom that later titles only tried to imitate. Now that the demo for THPS 3+4 is out in the wild, and after spending time with it grinding rails, flipping decks, and basking in every pixel of nostalgia, not to mention bailing a bunch, it feels safe to say that the magic is back. Not just intact but refined, tightened, and respectfully evolved.

- 'The soundtrack to skate parks was punk rock music': Tony Hawk on the Tony Hawk's Pro Skater soundtracks, and how they shaped a generation of videogame skate kids - 1 June 2025
It's difficult to think of games whose soundtrack had a bigger impact on an entire generation than the Tony Hawk's Pro Skater series. Popular music had been a part of games for decades: Journey Escape for the Atari 2600 was a particularly weird example, and the use of Song 2 by Blur in FIFA: Road to World Cup 98 was iconic. But the Tony Hawk series was the first to use punk music in this way, and for many kids from the suburbs and the country, it was the first time they interacted with punk... Read more.
