© Vicarious Visions Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater Soundtrack So, if you want to stretch your legs and take a walk down memory lane, or you missed out on the original games and want to find out what all the soundtrack hype is about, we thought it’d be fun to revisit the soundtracks that helped define Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 + 2! Revisiting the soundtracks of Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 and 2 Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 and 2 are being remastered and will feature songs from each original soundtrack, so we thought we'd revisit some of our favorites! Most of the songs you associate with the THPS games like Police Truck by Dead Kennedys or When Worlds Collide by Powerman 5000 are sure to be included though. Unfortunately, given the fact we’re inside writing this feature and not out practicing for the X Games means we never quite fulfilled our dream of becoming a professional skateboarder like Tony Hawk.Ĭrushed aspirations aside, the THPS games remain high on the list of games that made an impression on us when we were young and we’re indescribably happy to be able to play the first two again, fully remastered.Įven better, it was confirmed that the Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 + 2 remasters will include most of the songs featured on the original soundtracks.ĭue to licensing issues, it’s not exactly surprising to hear they may be unable to lock down all of the songs for the 2020 remasters. Watching what Tony Hawk could do on his skateboard in the game and out of it inspired us to give skateboarding a try. The song reminds us of a happier time when we were young and free from the stress of adulthood. It’s a moment in gaming for us that’s impossible to forget. When the Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 + 2 remasters were announced, we were immediately transported back to the first time we ever skated the Warehouse level to the tune of Superman by Goldfinger.
