Old School Cool, New School Rules
Remember the days of mashing buttons to nail that perfect 900? Well, dust off those skills because THPS3+4 is cranking the nostalgia up to 11. The game retains the easy-to-learn, hard-to-master controls that made the original series a legend in its own right. But don’t think for a second that this is just a trip down memory lane.

The expanded trick system boasts over 50 basic moves and countless combo possibilities. Whether you’re a seasoned pro or a fresh-faced rookie, you’ll find yourself pulling off mind-bending sequences that’ll make your jaw drop. The refined physics engine provides more precise responses to player inputs, making every grind, flip, and grab feel more satisfying than ever.
Doom Slayer Grinds Into Action
In a crossover that nobody saw coming (but everyone needed), the Doom Slayer is trading his BFG for a board. This demon-slaying badass brings his intense energy from Hell to the halfpipe, and trust us, he’s not here to play nice. His unique style stands out among the pro skaters, with moves that blend brutal efficiency with skate park finesse.
But the Slayer isn’t coming alone. He’s bringing his own bone-crushing soundtrack that’ll have you headbanging while you’re pulling off sick combos. While specific tracks aren’t confirmed, expect intense metal riffs and pounding beats that complement the game’s existing playlist. It’s like having your own personal mosh pit right there in the skate park.

Speaking of tunes, what’s a Tony Hawk game without an killer soundtrack? Motörhead’s “Ace of Spades” is back to get your adrenaline pumping, along with other classic hits like “Amoeba” by Adolescents. But it’s not all old-school rock – the soundtrack’s got fresh beats that’ll have you nodding your head while you nail that kickflip.
The new additions capture the spirit of modern skate culture, blending punk, metal, hip-hop, and rock to create a diverse musical landscape. This cross-genre appeal ensures your skating sessions will never get stale, offering something for every skater’s taste. Whether you’re into thrashing guitar solos or smooth hip-hop flows, THPS3+4’s soundtrack has got you covered.
Waterpark Wonderland
Forget the beach – this summer, we’re heading to the Waterpark. This brand-new level turns an abandoned Mojave Desert theme park into your personal skate paradise. Grind on rusted slides, catch air off drained pools, and show off your skills in the graffiti-covered ruins. The level features diverse areas like the Lazy River, Fountain, Playground, and Castle Grind, each offering unique challenges and opportunities for massive combos.
The Waterpark isn’t just a new playground – it’s a testament to the game’s upgraded graphics. With jaw-dropping 4K resolution and enhanced textures, every crack in the concrete and splash of graffiti comes to life. The improved lighting effects create an atmosphere that’s both eerie and exhilarating, perfect for pulling off those twilight sessions.

It’s a brave new world of skateboarding, and everyone’s invited to the party.
Fresh Faces and Returning Legends

Rising stars like Rayssa Leal and Chloe Covell join the lineup, bringing their real-world skills to the virtual halfpipe. These newcomers skate alongside returning legends, creating a perfect blend of old and new that mirrors the game’s overall philosophy.
More Than Just a Remake
Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4 isn’t just a remake – it’s a revolution on four wheels. It takes everything that made the original games classics and amplifies it for the modern era.
