Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 + 4 Will Include THPS4's Less Conventional Objectives After All 1

Fans of the legendary Tony Hawk's Pro Skater series have been a little conflicted about the upcoming remake of 3 + 4 due to structural changes to the more open fourth instalment, but it seems that nearly all of its content will at least be included in the package.

To recap, THPS 3 + 4 brings back the third and fourth games in one package in much the same way as seen in THPS 1 + 2.

However, the difference this time is that THPS4's open-ended structure is being retrofitted to the two-minute timer format featured in the preceding titles.

This has caused concerns among fans, as the game's stages were built for a more sandbox approach and are considerably larger than levels in previous games; players are worried the two-minute format will therefore be an ill fit.

Many also assumed that some of the game's wackier objectives (which wouldn't work within the two minutes) have been cut.

However, as reported by VGC, almost everything in the original will be included in the remake after all.

Those more unusual missions are being relegated to the remake's Pro Goals system. Once you beat a stage's initial 10 objectives (SKATE letters, combo scores and so on), more goals will be unlocked, and it's here where those sillier activities will come into play.

It was also revealed a while ago that you can adjust the timer to be up to an hour long, so the two-minute sessions can be significantly extended.

The only thing that won't be included are THPS4's minigames, such as playing tennis.

Still, while the structural changes are still there, at least the vast majority of each level's activities are intact, which is good to hear.

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 + 4 is due out on 11th July 2025, and a playable demo is out now for those that have pre-ordered. Are you excited to play this one? Tell us in the comments section below.
