Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4
It’s awesome to see the Tony Hawk Pro Skater series getting a new life, as we had 1 + 2 come out back in 2020. Now we’ve got 3 + 4! Not going to lie, pretty keen on the songs they’ve been able to get, especially bands like IDLES and Run the Jewels. Maybe if 3 + 4 are successful enough, we’ll get Underground remastered too!
