It will be available for PS4 on Septemfor $59.99, and the PS3 version will show up before the holidays for $39.99. There are differences between what is offered for the PS4 and PS3 versions, so be mindful of that. The pre-order exclusives from GameStop, Best Buy and Amazon are all live, so be sure to eye those and pick your poison. I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention some nuts and bolts things about the game. UPDATE: This PlayStation-exclusive content is included only in digital copies of the game purchased on PlayStation Store, not in physical copies bought at a brick-and-mortar retailer. There will be three character heads from Sony’s games: Ratchet, Sweet Tooth, and Sackboy.
The PS3 version has no online play (this is why the price is $20 less).Īlso, PS4 and PS3 owners will be happy to hear Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 5 has PlayStation-exclusive content. As a reminder: the online features are only in the PS4 version. This means that Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 5 is designed to get you online quickly and easily. When your mission or match is finished, you can either retry/rematch or seamlessly jump back into the Freeskate where you can hang out while deciding what to do next. This is done from the Sessions menu, a multipurpose tool for queuing up missions or modes, managing your party, and checking to see who’s in the park. When you are ready, you can jump into a mission with your party or challenge the entire park in one of the competitive multiplayer modes.
The sessions themselves are hosted by dedicated servers, so you can drop in and out of populated Freeskate sessions at any time. They act as hubs where players can hang out and skate between different missions and online matches. The Freeskate levels serve as lobbies for up to 20 players. Connecting with other players is totally different than previous THPS games, and it’s unique compared to current crop of skating titles. Speaking of online multiplayer, I wanted to share some new details. They even popped over to play the game at the studio! And the song we used in the video, Plague Vendor’s “Black Sap Scriptures,” is in the game and I think it’s a good example of the music Tony Hawk is curating for THPS5. This should give you an idea about the game’s energy the footage contains pros and some of our hidden characters, sick tricks and combos, and a bunch of online multiplayer action.
Right off the bat, check out our first full gameplay trailer.
