In other great news, all your favourite skaters are back on board. Literally.

Tony Hawk is naturally there, and so are classic characters like Chad "It's louder than a Metallica concert in there" Muska, Bob Burnquist, Kareem Campbell, Andrew Reynolds, Rune Glifberg and more. Vicarious Visions told IGN that everyone was delighted to get the call.

That's not surprising. THPS helped make some of these guys household names amongst gamers, and it launched them into a world of celebrity they could only have dreamed about before Neversoft went to work. Now, they might be about to relive that all over again, and they must be absolutely buzzing about the thought of it.

Playing as old faves would've been a pressing concern for anybody interested in these remastered versions of the first two games. It'd suck if only Hawk, surrounded by a cast of generic and make-up skaters, had been in there. That's not the case - what a relief.
