Sure, let’s get into this without too much polish. So, Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4… man, those classics seriously take me back. Like, remember just going out after grinding on the virtual ramps, trying to pull off a trick at the local park—even though it was more of a, I dunno, “flailing wildly” situation than trick mastering? Anyway, sorry, let me not get sidetracked.
Alright, back to this revamped version launching everywhere on July 11, but hey, those smart folks who snagged the Digital Deluxe Edition can dive in early. Major nostalgia vibes incoming with both iconic and some secret skaters like Andy Anderson and Bam Margera. Honestly, it feels kinda like bumping into an old friend after years. Anyway, the soundtrack’s all souped up too with newbies and golden oldies—can’t wait to hear what’s spinning.
What’s important? Starting simple. If you’re anything like me, you’ll need to get your sea legs—or should I say, street legs? Start with ollies and kickflips. Those flip tricks start making sense when you’re not eating pavement. Gradually work up to those mind-blowing combos where you’re stringing grinds and flips like a pro—well, sort of. Maybe.
The game has this “check off your goals” approach that keeps it moving, unlocking more parks. Collect-a-thon goals? They’re the way in from the get-go if you ask me. It’s like one of those satisfying video montages where things click into place, but in slow motion until you get it right.
But, alright, let’s get real about bailing. It was, or is, a rite of passage. Mastering the half-pipes can break you out into a sweat but, hey, if you’re face-first in the dirt, remember to tap RT and save yourself. We’re talking saving your special meter and your pride at the same time.
Oh, and scouring around the parks—there are these secret sweet spots for racking up high scores. Behind the ticket office on the College, there’s this epic grind path leading into a half-pipe. It’s a place I found myself revisiting over and over—just out there making digital magic happen.
Anyway, sprinkle your stats wisely into Hangtime, Air, and Speed, unless you want your jumps to feel like someone hitting rewind on a VHS. Yeah, that ancient technology. Priorities, right?
Maybe I’m rambling now, but I swear (or think) this should get you started if you’re diving back into the THPS world or hitting it anew. But, of course, there’s that slick tutorial narrated by Tony himself if you want something less, um, chaotic than my spiel.
And if you’re itching to skate as the Doom Slayer or try other gnarly content? Well, get the Digital Deluxe Edition or, you know, wait until July 11 if patience is more your strong suit.
Alright, let’s see you shred and, hey, watch out for those gnarly virtual wipeouts.
