Vicarious Visions, the developer of the Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 + 2 remaster, planned to remaster 3 + 4 before the project was cancelled by publisher Activision.

While a return on Xbox for Tony Hawk has been heavily rumored, the skateboarding legend has seemingly debunked the idea of another old-school remaster.
Released in 2020, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 + 2 serves as a robust remaster of the first two games in the long-running series. The game seeks to authentically recreate the feeling of these iconic titles, though it does introduce new mechanics and features that were only introduced in later series entries. Various additional tricks from subsequent Pro Skater games were added, though players do have the option of disabling them. Create-A-Skater and Create-A-Park modes also give players ways to customize their experience, and Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 + 2 introduces modern skaters like Riley Hawk and Lizzie Armanto. An updated rerelease of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater on PS5 and Xbox Series X/S recently enhanced the skateboard simulator further with improved textures and higher frame rates.
