Disappointing news has emerged via Activision who have confirmed to Kotaku that the career mode for Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 4 has been scrapped in favour of timed-based challenges. Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4 is under development by established team Iron Galaxy and is scheduled to be released on the Nintendo Switch and other platforms on 11th July.
“Kotaku was able to confirm with Activision that THPS 3+4 will not include the original career mode seen in the OG version of THPS4 on the PS2. Instead, like in the first three games, each THPS4 level will feature a list of challenges to complete in a 2-minute run.
This isn’t how it worked in the original THPS4. That game let players skate around levels freely and find challenges to complete. While many of these challenges did have timers, between those challenges players were free to skate around, explore, and collect money.”
