It is a remaster of the first two games in the Tony Hawk's series: Tony Hawk's Pro Skater and Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 , which were originally developed by Neversoft. It is the first major console game in the series since Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 5 and is noted for being Vicarious Visions' final work as a subsidiary of Activision before it was merged into Blizzard Entertainment on January 22, 2021. The game received generally favorable reviews from critics who praised the graphics, diverse roster, nostalgic soundtrack, and gameplay, though some criticized the multiplayer mode and limited amount of levels. The game has become the fastest-selling game in the franchise, selling one million copies within the first two weeks. Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 + 2 is a skateboarding video game played in a third-person view with its gameplay oriented towards classic arcade games. The point value of the trick is based on time maintained, degrees rotated, number of tricks performed in sequence, performing tricks on specific landmarks on the map, and the number of times the tricks have been used. Bails attain no points for the attempted trick sequence and reset the special bar to empty. Even though the game is a remaster of only the first two entries, Pro Skater 1 + 2 features tricks introduced in later games up to Tony Hawk's Underground such as reverts, spine transfers, wall plants, as well as the abilities to perform enhanced tricks such as double flips and to switch between certain trick types such as grinds, lips and manuals in one sequence. Furthermore, the game offers a progression system which allows players to complete specific challenges to reach a higher level and thus unlock new items in the game's store. The game features 21 professional skateboarders, as well as three original characters. All of the pro skateboarders from the first two games have returned for the remaster, appearing as their current age, even though the "Digital Deluxe Edition" offers 1980s-skins for some skaters. When putting together the roster, specific attention was paid to represent ethnic and gender diversity, leading to the inclusion of transgender skater Leo Baker, as well as several other skaters of different ethnicities and sexual orientation.Jack Black provides his likeness and voice as "Officer Dick", a playable secret character who was also in the original games. Skaters marked with "^" are new to the series, while skaters marked with "†" originally featured in different games of the series. .mw-parser-output .citation{word-wrap:break-word}.mw-parser-output .citation:target{background-color:rgba}^a unlockable ^b Digital Deluxe Edition only Pro Skater 1 + 2 is a remaster of the first two games of the series: Tony Hawk's Pro Skater and Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2.
