Why Tony Hawk 3 + 4 Remake Is A Nostalgia-Fueled Skateboarding Masterpiece
Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 + 4 remake delivers the definitive skateboarding combo moveset and arcade feel, making it arguably the best in the series. Tim Gettys highlights that the remake captures the essence of Tony Hawk 4's gameplay innovations like spine transfers and combos while giving Tony Hawk 3 the benefit of these features, enhancing both games.
The inclusion of new levels fits seamlessly with the originals, expanding the experience without feeling out of place. However, despite high praise, the game has some shortcomings such as missed licensed songs and limited character customization options compared to earlier Tony Hawk titles.
Tim also notes the game's broad platform availability and great performance, but points out that some goals can feel unclear or lacking in creativity. Ultimately, the game balances nostalgia with modern improvements for an addictive, quality skateboarding experience.
Tony Hawk 4 Is Moveset Peak
- Tony Hawk 4's moveset represents the franchise's peak arcade combo system with reverts and spine transfers.
- Despite loving the game, Tim Gettys rates the remake 8.5 due to missing features and questionable design decisions.
