Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 5 was a complete and utter disaster, but with various rumours doing the rounds over the past couple of months suggesting the franchise is about to make its return, we can't help getting a little bit excited. It has become clear that something is in the works, and a band named The Death Set posted to Facebook that it has just licensed five songs for the upcoming project.
In the now-deleted post, The Death Set said: "Just licensed 5 new songs to Tony Hawk 2020 game. You'll be hearing this sh*t soon." Speculation of remakes for the first two PSone Tony Hawk's Pro Skater games circulated around the time of The Game Awards 2019, so that is one possibility that the band in question could be referring to.
At this point, however, we have to hope that it's either a new entry in the Pro Skater series or a complete reboot. A new skateboarding title which takes advantage of the PlayStation 5's power sounds like so much goofy fun, but what say you? Do you hope this project is a remake or an entirely new game?

Hopefully it’s set on snow not concrete, and they pull the wheels off the boards, and EA Big make it, and you play as Nate and it’s SSX.
@kyleforrester87 I’d like both.
Tony hawks first four in a remaster package
And first four SSXs too maybe with Sled storm as unlockable bonus game
Mmmmmm yes please!
About time we had a [decent] skateboarding game again! Surely they can't screw it up as bad as the last one. Surely..
I have just given them a quick listen on youtube, definitely suits a tony hawk game. I wouldnt mind a remake if it was a combination of 1 to 3.
Hope The Death Set is ready for the lawsuit that is surely coming for breaching a NDA by putting that information out there.
A new game would be perfect, maybe with some classic remastered levels from the original games thrown in for good measure
Why would they do Pro Skater 2 instead of Underground 1 or 2? The latter had a classic mode baked into it AND a really fun main campaign. Still play the PsP version time to time. Also, I knoe American Wasteland wasn't as successful but tbh it was actually really good. Had loads of stuff, just the open world they claimed wasn't so open as they had tunnels you skate through for loading screens. Totally achievable now, though.
@Jayofmaya coz Pro Skater 2 had the biggest fan base. Tricky was probably more popular than SSX3 but it’s not the better game
I would love a full blown remake/reboot set at the height of Tony Hawk’s career. They’d have to get the soundtrack right and license proper old school songs but it would be brilliant.
I'd prefer Pro Skater 1-4 over just the first two. But I guess they could split it into 2 collections that way? If that old rumour is true of course.
noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
I remember buying THPS5 for tenner. I got up to the roof tops level and gave up entirely. Anything will be better than that
Awesome, I've been playing the 2nd one on my ps mini and got a hankerin for more of the same with some fancy ass graphics
Something has to be done since Pro Skater 5 was a big mess. Get it right this time.
@kyleforrester87 I only had ssx3. My friend had tricky, though. I wasn't as good at them, though xD
@Jayofmaya it’s okay, he wasn’t as good as me 😉
Will we be playing as Tony, because...and this is in no way age discrimination...the dude is 51!
THUG remaster please. That intro with A Day at the Races by Jurassic 5 still makes me grin like an idiot, man I loved that game back in the day.

THPS 3 please. Most fun game ever!
@Danloaded That was a waste of money. 😆
@Flaming_Kaiser you are not wrong lol i tried to like it i did but that rooftops level is just godawful level design. They couldn't make ground levels so making a rooftop level with so many drops wasn't the best idea
@Danloaded And i heard the game is bot completely playable anymore i could be wrong?
