While we still have some classics from the original games, like "Amoeba" by Adolescents and "Mass Appeal" by Gang Starr, fans of the games may notice some songs are absent. On the official website, it addresses why:
"We wanted to keep the feel of the original games but also introduce new artists and songs,” said Christopher Wilson, who's the VP of Production at Activision Publishing. “Throughout the project, Tony added tracks and suggested using different songs from artists that were featured on the original games."
“The soundtrack is meant to be a love letter to the Tony Hawk’s™ Pro Skater™ franchise, skateboarding in general, and be an opportunity to showcase music that falls outside of the mainstream," added Wilson.
Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3+4 hits the quarter pipe on July 11th (or the 8th with early access). It's available on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, Switch, and PC.
