High on Life 2 It's coming out soon, and I think it's cranked up the humor and gameplay that made this game so fun to 11. Like any good sequel, High on Life 2 Adding flavor to the gameplay, one of the most interesting upgrades is the introduction of skateboards. A first-person shooter focused on taking down an evil pharmaceutical company doesn't seem like a game that would feature skateboarding mechanics. High on Life 2 It honors the unpredictability of its predecessor.
The random skateboarding mechanic can often feel like a cheap gimmick; High on Life 2This time, you will have even more fun with the gameplay features. Although the series is biased toward playfulness, High on Life 2's skateboarding is also one of the main reasons I'm excited. It looks like a great game, but it also makes me long for the glory days of skate games. As a kid, Tony Hawk's own brand of games were some of my favorite games, and they still rank as one of the best games in the franchise. Tony Hawk's Underground. Between that and the sequel, I spent hours playing this game as a kid. Tony Hawk's Underground It was a huge turning point for the skate genre, and at this point I've been anticipating a remake for years.
I hold out hope that one day there will be an underground remake of Tony Hawk.
Licensed Tony Hawk games have already seen a resurgence in the last few years. that Tony Hawks Pro Skater 1+ 2 A remake came out in 2020 and recently Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 + 4 Remakes have been one of my favorite ways to relax this past year. These games aren't the deepest in terms of gameplay and use of intelligence, but there's something really soothing about them.
I don't know if it's just nostalgia or the sound of wheels hitting concrete, but there's an almost ASMR quality to these kinds of extreme sports games. With that upgrade Tony Hawk's Underground There's a chance it could be a better remake if brought into the franchise.
If there is a remake, Tony Hawk's Underground And maybe a sequel Like past remakes, they are integrated into one game.
A Tony Hawk's Underground remake only makes sense at this point.
later THPS 1+ 2 and THPS 3 + 4, Tony Hawk's Underground It's next in line to get some remake love. no way Tony Hawk's Underground Remakes aren't what I want either. Tony Hawk himself wants that to happen. In an interview with ScreenRant last year, he was asked: Tony Hawk's Underground A remake was potentially on the table and he responded, “I've always had aspirations. It's not normally up to me. I'll campaign all I can, but I'm working with a much bigger company that's a lot smarter than me.”
This is far from an actual approval, but it's promising that Tony Hawk at least thinks it's worth resurrecting the game. For skate games, Tony Hawk's Underground It was revolutionary at the time. The completely new mechanics added to the formula not only made skating better, but actually expanded the scope of skating games. Tony Hawk games have always been evolving, but Tony Hawk's Underground It was the biggest leap the franchise had ever seen.

The early to mid-2000s were full of skate games and other extreme sports titles, but the Tony Hawk brand dominated.

Even better, how High on Life 2 It feels just as comical and action-packed as its predecessor. That means you can build more love without losing it.
