Tony Hawk DLC screens show off revert action
It’s no secret that Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater HD has downloadable content incoming; heck, the first pack was announced before the game even released. As we (presumably) move ever-closer to the DLC pack’s release, more information is starting to trickle out – namely, a set of screens posted on the THPS HD Facebook page.
The DLC has also officially been titled the “Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 HD Revert Pack,” which more or less tells you everything you need to know about the content – it will bring levels from Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 into the high-def era and revive the much-desired revert mode, itself introduced in THPS3. The six screenshots show off pro skaters Steve Caballero and Geoff Rowley grinding and kick-flipping their way through some of those classic stages.
Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater HD hit XBLA July 18 as part of the service’s Summer of Arcade promotion. The game’s a high-def remake of stages from the first two (wildly popular and very well-received) Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater titles, which first hit the original PlayStation in the way-back time of the late-90s and early-2000s. We here at XBLA Fans thought it was pretty swell and worth the 1200 MSP, though not everyone agreed; the game currently sits with a Metacritic rating of 66, or “generally unfavorable.”
A release date for the DLC pack is as-yet-unannounced (reports suggest it will be sometime this month), though it’s expected to run you 400 MSP.
