The soundtrack for Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 + 4 includes only 10 tracks from the original two games, after Tony Hawk himself wanted to emphasise music discovery
Yeah the required Activision account was already putting me off. I don’t think I’ll be getting this one. No skating to Cut Chemist Suite means I’m out.
I assume there are licencing issues, as they might need to negotiate the all the rights for the songs again.
on the other hand, would it be possible to “cheat the system” and allow users to also get the original game, unremastered and if the original, with the original music is installed, the remastered version could be made to read the music from the original files.
maybe even just call it an extra 1$ dlc for the original unremastered.
I bought 1&2 and I just wanted to do free skate with my friends but there’s no way to do that, the game has very limited modes where you have to queue with randos all the time and it sucks the game had potential but squandered all of it
I just want to play SP, and the game requires being online always, and I think an Activision account. So I didn’t buy it. I hear they have a “Steam Deck” mode that allows offline play, but why isn’t that just standard? Why do you have to use a Steam Deck or pretend you’re a Steam Deck for it to work?
I loved the originals, but this is just a bit too much friction for me.
You can use the steam deck launch option on any PC, but yeah it’s really fucking dumb. Reminder to back www.stopkillinggames.com to end these bullshit practices

They should have just added more songs, not replaced them.

They did a healthy mix in 1+2. This is just too little, seems like they opted to cheap out on it.
Well you cant just get every song back
Licensing is a different issue than wanting to emphasize music discovery.
More music, more discovery.
No youre right, im tired AF and didnt understand what you were saying at first
Your point is a valid one! Just not in the context of discoverability.

I understand and respect their decision, but leaving out when worlds collide is a fucking crime.
Bruh wuuut? That song was the best song on the soundtrack.
Edit: oh shit, just saw it was 2 not 3.
IIRC, When Worlds Collide was in #2 originally not #3
It was, and yet I’m still angry for some reason 😂
Totally get it! I would restart levels in #2 over and over until they played that song or Guerilla Radio
Is it going to be online only like the other one?
1&2 got offline mode for Steam Deck, but not for regular PCs, which is really weird. Are they going to pull the same nonsense on this one too?
I haven’t picked up 1&2 specifically because of that restriction, though I’d really like to play it.

Unfortunately, I’m ineligible to sign.
But yeah, it’s incredibly dumb that you have to claim you’re a Steam Deck to be able to play if your internet drops or whatever.
Welp, wont be getting that then. The music is part and parcel with these games
I’m crushed they left out Let’s Get Dirty. Or maybe it was licensing issues.
