Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4 Xbox Game Pass Release Date
Looking through the earlyTony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4reviews, it’s clear that many are disappointed with the handling ofPro Skater 4’s Career mode. Back in the day,Pro Skater 4made a dramatic change to the franchise’s Career mode by letting players free roam and take on challenges from NPCs, as opposed to being stuck with a strict time limit. In3 + 4, Career mode has been tweaked so it’s closer to the original trilogy of games - a change that was criticized even before launch. Considering the reaction to that decision before the game was out, it’s really no surprise that many don’t approve of it in the final game.
Now that the original fourPro Skatergames have been remade for modern consoles, fans may be wondering what’s next for the franchise. While nothing official has been announced, Tony Hawk himself has voiced support forTony Hawk’s Undergroundgetting a remake. It would be great to see all the classicTony Hawkgames brought to modern platforms one day, but time will tell if that ever happens.
