Fast forward 21 years later, and the franchise is once again at the forefront of the gaming world. Saw friday Remastered release of the first two games in the series: “Tony Hawk Pro Skater 1 +2.”
How did this happen 20 years after the release of the first game? According to Tony Hawk, the passion of the fans.
“I want the original fans to appreciate the exhilarating feeling of playing the first series,” Hawk told CBS Sports. “And I want to introduce you to the new generation so that you can feel the same energy without playing the original series. I think hardcore fans resonate and are the most excited fans.”
The original “Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater” was released in 1999 and fans still want to play it.
“I think a lot of people have associated it with their youth and something that introduced them to skateboarding and skate culture,” Hawk added. I feel that a lot of people have changed my view that “this changed how I wanted to live, I wanted to be kind to the music I wanted to listen to, or the kind of culture I wanted to participate in.” I don’t think it’s obvious. I am very grateful that this has opened new doors for people. “
The new remastered version of the franchise focuses on Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater and Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 2. Gamers can play all the same levels they’ve played in the past and can perform many of the same purposes, such as collecting SKATE characters and finding secret tapes on each map.

“This technology has been around so far since the first games were released,” said Hawk. “The possibilities are very big about what we can include and how we can present it. To be honest, it was a fan. They have been these remasters for the last decade. I really wanted to see.”
When the first game came out, the skateboard was still some niche. Unless you actually skateboard, the average person was less interested in sports and the culture that surrounds them. According to Hawk, the “Tony Hawk Pro Skater” franchise has turned all of this into something better.
“I think this has brought a new generation to skating, and I think it has helped non-skating people understand it. This has never really happened before. It was a skater himself, I feel like I started making a fan base for skating, they enjoyed it and understood the nuances, but they didn’t necessarily want to participate in it.”
When the game was popular, it was a perfect storm for sports. The generation raised in the “Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater” game learned about skateboarding culture and the most famous people in sports at the time. On the other hand, X games are becoming more popular.

“I feel like there’s a generation of skaters who want to see my son Riley more than I do. I think it’s a testament to his success and his followers,” Hawke said. “I think it was appropriate to bring a new generation of characters into the game, not just the original roster.”
