Video Game Series That Need the Resident Evil 2 Treatment
Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater
In an alternate timeline, 2015’s Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 5 might have been the nostalgic resurgence of this beloved series on modern consoles, complete with all the fun and attitude we would expect from that. Sadly, this wasn’t the case.
Pro Skater 5 is about as opposite as you can get to the Resident Evil 2 Remake. Whereas RE2 Remake is a polished love letter to its original game, Pro Skater 5 is the definition of a cheap cash grab, riddled with technical problems, bland levels and barely improved visuals.
However, if the build-up to Pro Skater 5 told us anything, it’s that fans are eager to relive the glory days of Tony Hawk. If Activision makes an earnest and well-polished revival of Tony Hawk, nostalgia will likely do the rest for them just as it did with the Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy.
The game doesn’t even need to be that complicated. If you give fans a decent looking, purely skating game with an awesome soundtrack full of 90s punk, we are all going to eat it up. We are ready.
