Guitar Hero is not the only classic series from its catalog that Activision is reviving this year- their once all conquering Tony Hawk Pro Skater series of skateboarding games is also going to return with Tony Hawk Pro Skater 5, and in this new development video, Activision share some of the development challenges involved in bringing the game back to life, specifically focusing on translating the classic arcade style of the games to modern consoles.
“Activision and Robomodo have really worked closely with the pros to make sure Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 5 feels true to the original series, and that is obvious when you’re playing,” said Tony Hawk. “There is a great mix of styles and personalities in the game – and it’s a blast to see each skater represented to the last detail.”
Tony Hawk Pro Skater 5 will be launching on the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 on October 2; a far more stripped down, budget priced version of the game will also be made available for the Xbox 360 and PS3 on November 10.
