In new interviews, the developers behind Skater Pro 3+4 by Tony Hawk they explained why the popular career mode from the original Thps4 It will not be included in the next remake.
Announced in March after a lot of voices, Skater Pro 3+4 by Tony Hawk It seems to be a fantastic remake of two of the best skateboard games ever made. Thps 3+4 It is destined to launch in July on consoles and PCs, boasting improved visions, quality of life functionality and new levels. But the open world and the NPC Quest Givers have found in Thps4The original career mode will not be included. Instead, they were replaced by the same two -minute races and objectives found in the first three games. This has shocked many hardcore players. And now Iron Galaxy, the team behind the Remaster package, explained why he cut the career mode OG.
Talking to Game informant, Thps 3+4 Design director Mike Rossi said the team looked at Thps 1+2 And he thought it was a good representation of the essence of those OG games. Then they looked back 3 AND 4 Before developing this new remake.
“We looked at 3And this was obviously another very appreciated title in the franchise. So it was: ‘Let’s take a look 4. It is quite different, but what, in its essence, is it? Our goal here is to make the final package of 3 AND 4. So, in the end, we heard that he made him feel more towards the 3 format, unlike what 4 Originally, it was a better representation for a cohesive package that we were making. ”
In a different interview with Game bible, Thps 3+4 Game director Kurt Tillmanns said that once they put the timer Thps 4Levels, they knew that “it will work totally”.
“We recreated some of those classic objectives that remember [from THPS 4]; By reducing the professor’s car, freeing the prisoner – In this new format all these things still work. “
Talking to Press StartRossi was asked if the inclusion of an option to extend the timer in Thps 3+4The career mode for a maximum of one hour, unlike the two difficult and fast two minutes found in the old games-was a reaction to the negative feedback they received from fans who wanted the open career mode of the world Thps 4.
“No,” said Rossi. “We knew it would be difficult and that people would look at him. But we felt that this was the right way to get closer, and made it a cohesive package. We had already thought, you know, we have the mods, which, in our eyes, is another way to put things of accessibility.”
“And many of the feedback we were receiving internally, also we saw online, it was that people did not always love two -minute timer. You know, they would only like a little more time.” Oh, I was about to understand or finish this. If only I had another minute. “And so why not give them that more minute, or whatever time they want?
“So we just thrown it inside, it is a nice coincidence, and now, we hope, we can show us as a solution for those people looking for more time at those levels.”
I’m not sure these answers will calm fans who believe in the open world format of Thps4’s The levels were an important part of the identity of the game. But at this point we are a few months after the launch and the Devs sound has engaged in the racing format based on objectives for Thps 4. It is a shame for fans of the game OG, but at least the original game is still around for those who prefer it.
Skater Pro 3+4 by Tony Hawk He launches on 11 July on Xbox, Game Pass, PlayStation, Switch and PC.
