With the success of Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 + 2 (THPS1+2) in 2020, a remake of the third (THPS3) and fourth (THPS4) entries in the series seemed like the next logical step. However, this wouldn’t be the case, as despite said success, developer Vicarious Visions was folded into the Blizzard portion of Activision Blizzard King. Tony Hawk himself would later confirm that not only was said remake in the works at the time, but moving the developer around led to the project being canceled, leaving its fate up in the air. Fortunately, the project eventually resumed under developer Iron Galaxy, finally delivering Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4 (THPS3+4) five years later. This remake, however, wouldn't be without controversy due to changes made to the soundtrack and the THPS4 half of the game, but I got a copy anyway due to having waited for it for so long and wanting to see the extent of the changes for myself. While I did end up agreeing with some criticisms of the final product, I still had a fun time with it for what it was regardless.
