Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 + 2: don't worry, the next-gen port is curated by Vicarious Vision

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 + 2

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 + 2, universally recognized as one of the best remakes of recent years, is also about to arrive on the new generation PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X | S consoles, as well as on the Nintendo Switch home and portable screens, with versions created ad hoc.

Players waiting for the new editions, however, have shown more than a few concerns as, in fact, the original creators of Vicarious Visions no longer exist as an entity in their own right. Last January Activision announced the dissolution of the studio and the shift of the workforce to Blizzard (we are talking about about two hundred developers). Polygon has taken an interest in the matter, and has received confirmation from the publisher that the ports of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 + 2 are in the hands of the original developers of Vicarious Visions, even if they are now part of a different studio. We can therefore expect the same care and expertise that went into the remake for PS4 and Xbox One.

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 + 2 will be released on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X | S on March 26th, while on Nintendo Switch it will arrive in the course of 2021. On the two most powerful consoles it will run at native 4K resolution at 60fps, and will also be able to push 120fps on compatible televisions thanks to a dedicated graphics mode, which for this purpose will reduce the resolution to 1080p. Also expected improvements to dynamic shadows, improved reflections and lens flares and skater textures. Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 + 2 upgrade will not be free, but for a fee.
