If you're as pumped as we are about Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 + 2 coming back on PlayStation 4, you're probably ready to hit that pre-order button. Activision is giving the PS1 skateboarding classics the same remake treatment it gave to Crash Bandicoot and Spyro, and it's looking great so far. Of course, the publisher has gone into detail on the various editions, and there are some cool incentives.
In terms of pre-order bonuses, there are a couple depending on whether you buy physically or digitally. Those who pre-order via PlayStation Store will gain early access to the Warehouse stage in a free demo. It's not been made clear when exactly the demo will unlock, but it's nice you'll be able to get hands on with the game before it's out. The pre-order bonus for those purchasing a disc copy is a Tony Hawk mini fingerboard, though only from certain retailers.
As usual, there is more than one edition you can buy. Digitally, there's the standard version and a digital deluxe edition, which will include "unique content and gear". UK retailer GAME lists this content as follows:
- ‘The Ripper’ skater from Powell-Peralta
- Unique retro outfits for Tony Hawk, Steve Caballero and Rodney Mullen
- Unique retro content for the Create-A-Skater mode
In the realm of retail, there's of course the regular edition, but there's also a fancy collector's edition. This limited version of the game comes with the aforementioned digital goodies, as well as a full size skateboard deck from Birdhouse, sporting the Falcon 2 design. It's a cool package, but it does up the asking price from $39.99 to $99.99.

I gotta admit, that board would look good on the wall.
I’d get the collectors edition if the board didn’t have the game logo on it. I get why it’s on there, but it totally ruins the design.
6 years ago, when I was still a fanatic skater, I would've killed for that board
Is the original music still in this?
@Xaessya yes. I dont know if its every track but it seems to be the majority of them.
Preordered mine from Amazon this morning. Just the standard version though, as much as i love that board. Cant wait for this. Getting abit burnt out on hundred hour open world games, so a dive in and out arcade gamenis perfect right now.
I saw somewhere a pic saying a finger board was preorder bonus. I’m all over the limited edition but I want that finger board too
@Stocksy "The pre-order bonus for those purchasing a disc copy is a Tony Hawk mini fingerboard, though only from certain retailers."
@Quintumply blind as a bat. Sorry mate. Wonder if game is that retailer 😂
I’m so so tempted to preorder but I remember the state of THPS5. It looks incredible but I just can’t commit myself until I know it isn’t a disaster on the same level. I’m not really a fan of Birdhouse decks which is a shame as if it was basically any other brand I would have jumped on it.
@nessisonett I will never not love Toy Machine decks.
Have they confirmed all the original skaters in this? I know some of them are, but Burnquist I haven't seen make an appearance yet and I don't think I saw Bucky? Will definitely be getting this one, and I challenge anyone to a match. Just hope the online code for this is a million times better than CTR is/was.
@nookie_egg From Activision’s blog.
Tony Hawk Pro Skater 1 and 2 will feature the full original roster of pro skaters from the turn of the 21st century. That includes Steve Caballero, Geoff Rowley, Bucky Lasek, Elissa Steamer, Kareem Campbell, Andrew Reynolds, Bob Burnquist, Eric Koston, Rodney Mullen, Jamie Thomas, Rune Glifberg, Chad Muska… And of course, Tony Hawk.
@nessisonett Excellent. Bob was my man.
If I preorder the physical edition will I still get the demo?
If there was ever a pre-order game I didn't trust.... this is it
@TrueAssassin86x I dunno man. THPS 5 and THPS:HD were both so rough. I'm worried about the music licensing and the Activisionness of microtransactions. For what it's worth, I didn't pre-order Crash
THPS is one of my absolute favourite game series. But I've been burnt sooo many times with the newer ones. THPS 5, THPS HD (which alarmingly was also a semi remake of 1+2). I'll need to see actual post release gameplay footage before diving in on this. I don't have the energy to get excited and disappointed all over again with this series.
Damn, does $40 equal £40 now?
Skate controls all the way i am looking forward to skater xl and sessions.
Pre-order comes with a death trap 5000 so people can try and switch laser flip down 15stairs on the way to work.
Tony Hawk brings me back to my childhood. I won't be pre-ordering but might get this during BF/Holiday 2020 sales.
@NathanUC Nah, I'd give that title to Cyberpunk. After playing through TW3 and all the DLC, anything with that developers name on it I'd steer clear from. That entire game was a trainwreck from start to finish without question, and having to pull a celebrity onstage to promote their new game only spells disaster.
As for Hawk, you still cannot find the game listed anywhere on PSN. There's still plenty of time of course, but it's available everywhere else to pre-order, why not PSN?
Still no news in Uk of the fingerboard...
Amazon has stickers and game has laces....
