Tony Hawk HD's facebook just uploaded 3 screenshots. Tony Hawk is at GDC, and they were saying there'd be some stuff today, so hopefully we can compile it all here.

I was hoping they'd jazz up some of the open space that's in the previous levels. The school shots (with almost no difference from the original in terms of construction) show that this is much more of an HD remaster than any kind of remake.

I'd probably play each level once or twice and then wish it was Tony Hawk 2 or 3 HD...
 
So, like, what is this, exactly? Seems like the original XBOX THPS2X in HD.
Wikipedia said:
It is a return to the gameplay of the original games in the series, predating Tony Hawk: Ride, and as such will only be played using a standard controller.

The game is not an HD porting of the original Tony Hawk's Pro Skater, but rather an amalgamation of levels collected from the first two installments, remade in a completely new engine for the PS3 and Xbox 360.

It's amazing how when you make what the fans want they get excited, every step they take away from Ride territory and go back to TH1-3 territory the better.
 
One of my favorite levels in THPS2. Bummed that the original THPS2 soundtrack is being ripped out. Understandable, but would be cool if they could renegotiate with all the publishers to get them back. Better yet, option to play our own locally saved MP3s.
 
That looks...absolutely amazing! :O

My nostalgia for these games dictates that I'll buy this HD remake regardless, but it's great to see it looking so good!

You can do that.
 
Best THPS2 stage.

I hope this'll at least support custom soundtracks. Blasting Guerrilla Radio is the only way to play that stage.
 
I still think they should give it another name.

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater HD implies it's the original game in HD.
But it's not. It's a full-blown remake with a different engine, different graphics, different audio, different characters, etc.
 
It feels weird to be excited about THPS again.

I hope this game is a massive success and reinvigorates the THPS franchise. I'd like to see more THPS games in this classic gameplay style.
 
Man, a proper Tony Hawk on the go would be the best thing ever.
This needs to happen.
THPS2 is on iPhone
Although has a tendency to crash on menus, and no OST....but its still fun.


Can't wait for this, whats the word on release, still summer?
 
No original soundtrack = no buy. Half of THPS2 was OST same as THPS3. Not including iconic OST is just horrible idea.
