Anyone else find the wording odd? 'This. Is. Epic.' that they're finally coming to Steam after only being on... Epic.

I think it's supposed to be word play.

The Steam page does not mention Denovo nor always-online DRM. I'm cautiously optimistic.

Edit: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2395210/Tony_Hawks_Pro_Skater_1__2/ So you don't have to visit Twitter/X.

Publishers have been known to add that info one or two days before release in the past.

Oh fuck:

They mention always-online but not in the regular sidebar box but super tiny in the requirements.

About time lol. I guess they forgot about it.

I bought on Xbox so was no thing. Great remake, definitely recommend.

The company the developed it got consumed by Blizzard shortly after.

So they’ll be owned by Microsoft before too long. Maybe we’ll get the 3+4 remake we deserve.

RIP Vicarious Visions. Those guys did magic on the GBA and all their remakes were spot on.

I'll just keep emulating them

It's genuinely one of the best remakes in existence and emulation is not even close in this case because THPS1+2 backports loads of quality of life features from later entries.

Is the music the same?

About half is from original entries, the other half is contemporary stuff that respects the theme and is very good on its own. It's not the only area where remake gracefully draws from originals and modern skating, for example you get all the old skaters as well as modern pros.

At last, better late than never.
