Awesome! I wish they could bring back the games with their original soundtracks, but I understand the licensing issues must be difficult, and also at this point those songs are like 15-20 years old, so they probably want something a little more contemporary...

I don't get collector editions often, but man this one is very tempting.

According to the interview on IGN, all but a couple of songs from the original soundtracks will be in, which of course they would, because that music specifically was such a big part of the heart and soul of THPS

Here's the tracks the trailer confirmed so far

THPS1
--
"Superman" - Goldfinger

"Police Truck" - Dead Kennedys

"Jerry Was A Race Car Driver" - Primus


THPS2
--
"Guerrilla Radio" - Rage Against The Machine

"When Worlds Collide" - Powerman 5000

"You" - Bad Religion

"Pin the Tail on the Donkey" - Naughty By Nature

"No Cigar" - Millencolin

"Blood Brothers" - Papa Roach

"May 16" - Lagwagon

I wish they were remaking the 3rd one too.

As one of the few people out there who seemed to enjoy the Tony Hawk PS HD XBox Arcade re-release a while back, I'm pretty stoked about a full-on re-master.

Moreover, for those who had an issue with the floaty mechanics of the HD release, I've heard they've gone with the original code so it should handle like the OGs.

Here's some preliminary gameplay.

Thanks for this. The latter part of the THPS 2 soundtrack reminds me of how deprived I was to play Tony Hawk on N64 all those years. Apparently way fewer songs and edited down.

I hope they can come to terms with The Ernies for "Here and Now". That was my go-to in THPS 1.

Honestly, the entire Tony Hawk series broadened my musical reach a great deal over the years and I'm pretty appreciative of that.

I'm holding out a little bit of hope for some additional downloadable courses post-release, if nothing else. That's what the Tony Hawk PS HD version did anyway (Canada and Airport were added post-release, possibly others).
