Legendary professional skateboarder Tony Hawk is bringing back what he says his fans have been clamoring for: a remake of the original Tony Hawk's Pro Skater games.
In a video exclusive to Mashable, Hawk talks about why he decided to release Tony Hawk's Pro Skater HD -- an remastering of seven classic levels -- this year. He says he thinks the original Tony Hawk's Pro Skater and Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 opened the door for skateboarding in video games, and introduced lots of gamers to skating.
Tony Hawk's Pro Skater HD will be released for Xbox Live Arcade on July 18, and the PlayStation Network on a future date that's yet to be announced. Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 will also be available as downloadable content in the future.
