The original Tony Hawk's Pro Skater and its sequel are widely considered to be two of the very best games released on the PSone, so imagine our delight when reports began cropping up about potential remakes of the excellent twosome. According to one Twitter insider, who rather unceremoniously leaked almost the entirety of E3 2019 earlier this year, the titles are about to be released on PlayStation 4 with a fresh lick of paint.
According to Sabi, prototypes of the remake have been kicking around Activision for a while now, but now they're about to be released on the current generation of consoles as fully-fledged games. If we take the rumour to be true, which we do with a very large grain of salt, could this be an announcement planned for The Game Awards?

The show is only a few weeks out now, so there's not too much time left before all is revealed. It would certainly make up for the dreadful Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 5 at the very least. Do you believe this rumour? Do you hope Tony Hawk's Pro Skater makes its way to PS4? Ollie into the comments below.

Pro Staker? Is Tony going to hunt some vampires
But...wouldn't this require Activision renegotiating the license with Hawk, which I recall he wasn't willing to do?
@nessisonett You saw nothing okay π
Tony Hawk Pro Staker series were at high stakes at the last couple of games... Glad they making a remakes of the older ones. Would grab Tony Hawk's Underground 2
Make it happen. I dont think the market is there like it was but do it
@nessisonett would buy this π
@nessisonett It's a game where you sit in an unmarked van outside a house for hours, quietly and inconspicuously conducting surveillance.
PLEASE
But... I don't want to give Activision money. :/
Please release THPS3 from PS2. If this is done my Xmas has come early!!
My favorite was TH Pro Skater 3 for the PS1, I was surprised when discovered the track editor, unlimited hours of fun.
Off topic: have you guys seen the Lamborghini Vision Gran Turismo unveiled yesterday? Holly shiznet!
Activision definitely needs to make up for Tony Hawk Pro Skater 5. Iβm in, if this rumor is true.
I wouldn't mind a remake of the original, just make sure to scrap the blueprint from the 5th game.
I would be so up for this!! Mates and I loved this back in the day!
THPS2 was one game I've played to death on PC... loved it.
Nice. About time that Tony Hawk's 5 was given a PS4 Pro upgrade..
I thought there would be nearly insurmountable issues with music licensing for this to happen. I suppose a full remake could just use new music tracks.
Wasn't THPS already remade? Are they remaking it again?
No thanks EA Skate is the best skater game ever the control feels real. Tony Hawk skate is press X for a kick flip or Triangle for a grind.
Wait. Tony Hawk Pro Skater 2. On PS4. Spider-Man PS4 π€
I still recall the music in my head while playing in the warehouse.
Holy crap. There's a trip down memory lane. My younger brother and I have hundreds of hours playing thps 1 + 2 as kids. Uh oh.... I can hear the soundtrack coming back to my head haha.
I would pick up 1,2, and 3 if they remade them. I do hope they add an online mode so that I can still play with my brother and relive those memories. Unfortunately we both live in different states.
This still won't do Justice though, we need a "Skate" game for PS4 or PS5
Give me 1, 2, and 3 as a collection and I'll pay full price.
I'd prefer EA's Skate. The true king of skateboarding games.
I'd certainly be interested in the first 3. Used to thoroughly enjoy them. But as long as they don't end up looking like 5. That was nasty.
@Th3solution yes, this was an issue with Tony Hawk HD on PS3. For me, part of the appeal and certainly now part of the nostalgia factor is the original music. Without it, I'd be less interested in picking it up.

I'm a huge fan so this would be great news. I still play the ps2 games regularly and would love them to have improved graphics I just hope they don't change the controls to make it like skate or the ps3 thps games, nothing against those games I love them as well I just liked the thps games the way they were
I finished Pro Skater 2 sooo many times. Over and over again. At the time it was pretty much my only source of skateboarding videos. First some blurry Rodney Mullen awesomeness and then went outside to do my "break ankles and be disappointed" routine. Good times.
