As the highly anticipated July release date approaches, Activision has officially unveiled a demo for the upcoming Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 + 4. However, this demo comes with a twist: it is a pre-order exclusive, meaning players will need to commit to purchasing the full game in order to get a taste of the skating action, effectively making it the opposite of a traditional 'try before you buy' experience.
Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 + 4 is not just a remaster; it is a groundbreaking remake of the classic skating games that fans have cherished over the years. This new installment promises a variety of modern upgrades that enhance gameplay and overall experience. Players can look forward to new skaters, an expanded list of tricks, an exhilarating soundtrack, and an array of new parks including a water park, a pinball table, and a movie studio.
The multiplayer component of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 + 4 is particularly noteworthy, offering cross-platform online play for up to eight skaters. Among the innovative game modes is the new HAWK mode, where players must locate hidden letters in challenging spots and race against the clock to collect as many as possible. In addition, players can enjoy the Free Skate mode, which offers a sandbox environment, as well as a variety of activities in the Competitive playlist including Trick Attack, Score Challenge, Combo Mambo, Combo Challenge, and Graffiti.
The game boasts an impressive and expanded roster of playable skaters, now featuring talents such as Rayssa Leal, Chloe Covell, Zion Wright, Jamie Foy, Nora Vasconcellos, Margielyn Didal, Yuto Horigome, Aurélien Giraud, and Andy Anderson. Fans of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles will also be delighted to see Michelangelo making a special appearance as an unlockable secret skater, adding a nostalgic twist to the game.
Returning to the franchise is the beloved Create-A-Skater feature, alongside an upgraded Create-A-Park that introduces exciting new props such as speed boost pads and musical notes. Players will now have the ability to set custom goals, allowing for a more personalized skating experience. Additionally, a new photo mode enables players to capture and share their skating highlights, enhancing the social aspect of the game.
Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 + 4 is set to launch on 11th July for platforms including PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Switch, Switch 2, PC, and Game Pass. The demo is already available as of today on Xbox, PlayStation, and PC, featuring the Foundry and College parks, with playable skaters Tony Hawk and Rayssa Leal, as well as a limited selection of songs. However, players should remember that they must pre-order the full game to access this exciting demo.
