7. There Will Be Secret Skaters

In Tony Hawk's 2, players who blasted through Career Mode and notched 100% with a created skater were treated to Spider-Man as a secret unlockable. It was a unique thrill to skate around the place as Spidey and trade web-slinging for 'Nollie Underflips'.

Though Spider-Man might not be in this remaster (licensing is a complex bitch), others will be. A safe bet would be Crash Bandicoot, if only because Vicarious Visions were the ones who worked on his slick remaster several years ago. Besides, ol' Crash has the skater look, and his attitude would fit in as a secret bonus.

There might also be room for some Skylanders crossover, or maybe (just maybe) the cast from that Wild Thornberry's game VV published in 2000 for Game Boy Colour. OK, that's a joke, but they'll surely draft in all manner of quirky add-ons to make repeat playthroughs worthwhile.

Why not?
