Tony Hawk's Pro Skater HD grinds onto PC today

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater HD ollied onto Xbox Live Arcade in July then boardslide hand dragged its way to PlayStation Network in August, but the PC edition initially due to switch frontside 720 out "a few weeks after" the XBLA launch has only just arrived today. On the bright side, there is a 10% launch sale so you can save one whole dollar, perhaps to spend on a gnarly new skatin' tune or an xtreme carbonated beverage.

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater HD ollied onto Xbox Live Arcade in July then boardslide-hand-dragged its way to PlayStation Network in August, but the PC edition initially due to switch-frontside-720 out "a few weeks after" the XBLA launch has only just arrived today. On the bright side, there is a 10% launch discount so you can save one whole dollar, perhaps to spend on a gnarly new skatin' tune or an xtreme carbonated beverage. Nab it from Steam for $8.99 before the price goes up on October 1. Pro Skater HD revamps the best (well, mostly) of Neversoft's first two Pro Skater games to look a bit nicer and all those sorts of things you'd expect from a game with an 'HD' suffix. A slice of Pro Skater 3 is coming soon to PC in the $5 'Pro Skater 3 Revert Pack' DLC, which includes three THPS3 levels, new skaters, and the third game's 'Revert' move. Publisher Activision has sent over a few new high-res screenshots of the PC version:

I'd pull a similar face in this situation too, in all honesty

  I know this game really reviewed poorly but I can't help but still be tempted.

    IIRC the consensus was - yep, it's THPS with an HD skin. I think that's a good thing...

  I played this for a while on my xbox, all the while wishing it was on PC. I guess now I can't complain about that.

  I suggest steering clear of this game. There is no option to change graphics settings or resolution and the game is stuck at 1280 x 720. To change settings you will be required to edit INI files.

      It uses the unreal engine so it shouldn't require that kind of attention.

  DON'T BUY - JUST PLAY THE OLD ONE!
  why?
  a) physics are totally broken
  b) controls are broken
  c) it is more simulation and less arcade
  
  this hd remake totally took out the fun of the calssic th.
  
  want another killer reason:
  no combos out of a jump

  I played this when it came out on XBLA and had a really good time with it. I know it's not the same as before, but it's still a lot of fun. I'd at least give the demo / trial a go to see if you enjoy it.
