Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4 Remaster Deluxe Edition Soundtrack Sparks Debate
The remake of Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4 is now accessible to players who purchased the Deluxe and Collector’s Editions, featuring a soundtrack that has generated discussion among fans. According to VGC’s analysis, the game includes only 10 of the original songs from Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 and 4, while adding 54 new tracks. Among the 10 returning classics are “96 Quite Bitter Beings,” “My Adidas,” and “Amoeba.” However, fan favorites like AC/DC’s “T.N.T.” are notably absent. Furthermore, not all original artists return with the same songs; in some instances, different tracks by the same artist appear. For example, Alien Ant Farm expressed disappointment over the exclusion of their song “Wish,” describing its absence as “a bucket of cold water.” Tony Hawk indicated that the soundtrack aimed to create a contrast between old and new music for players familiar with the series from the 2000s. In an Instagram statement, Hawk explained that song selection was a personal process, noting, “It was my choice to pick different songs from the same artists.” He expressed hope that players would enjoy discovering new music, adding, “I hope the discovery is half the fun.”
The remake’s music lineup features a mix of returning and new artists. Among the new tracks are those by Fontaines D.C., Idles, 100 Gecs, Run The Jewels, and Mastodon.

Brief Summary | Tony Hawk's Pro Skater is a skateboarding simulation in which you control a famous skate star around 3D environments. Each game area contains a plethora of objects like ramps, rails, and half-pipes which can be used to perform tricks. Each trick you perform earns you more points for your score.
The game is divided into two types of levels. In the first, you skate around locations like a mall, a city street, or a warehouse. In each of these areas, there are 5 goals to complete. Some goals involve obtaining a high score, others smashing objects and some collecting objects. For every goal you complete, you earn a videotape. By collecting enough videotapes, you unlock levels and skateboards for you to use. There are 6 levels like this. The second type of level is competition. You get to make 3 timed runs through a skate park and attempt to get the highest score possible. If you do well enough, you will beat the scores of the computer-controlled skaters and win a medal.
