Tony Hawk's Pro Skater HD is a skateboarding video game and the twelfth game in the Tony Hawk's series of skateboarding games. It is set for release on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 consoles as a downloadable game in 2012. It is also a reboot of the franchise.
The game was first announced at the 2011 Spike Video Game Awards show (VGAs) with a trailer demonstrating Tony Hawk skating around the Woodland Hills Warehouse (the first stage of the original game). It is the first Tony Hawk's game on consoles that will be offered exclusively as a downloadable game. It is a return to the gameplay of the original games in the series, predating Tony Hawk: Ride, and as such will only be played using a standard controller.
The game is not an HD porting of the original Tony Hawk's Pro Skater, but rather an amalgamation of levels collected from the first two installments, remade in a completely new engine for the PS3 and Xbox 360.[1] So far the only stage that was revealed was the Woodland Hills Warehouse stage and the only playable skaters to be confirmed is Tony Hawk, and his son Riley Hawk. Riley was announced playable in an interview with One Of Swords. Other confirmed stages include the School and Downhill Jam levels from the original game.[2]
