I only needed to see 3 seconds of that Tony Hawk 1+2 gameplay to see that they get it.

That looks fantastic and I’m so excited.
Massive
It’s hard to convey how absolutely MASSIVE Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater was for video games and for skateboarding in the early 2000s. Some of my best memories growing up were staying up late and grinding out THPS with friends. It’s gonna be awesome revisiting THPS1&2 again.
