As part of the Xbox Games Showcase, Microsoft and Activision have announced the release of a demo for Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4. The Foundry Demo is now available for those who have preordered the game or do so promptly. The demo showcases new gameplay footage and offers players a taste of what’s to come in the full release.
However, the exclusivity of the demo has sparked some controversy among fans. The demo is only available to those who have preordered the game, leaving others unable to try it out before making a purchase. This move has been criticized by some players who believe that demos should be accessible to everyone to make an informed decision about buying the game.
In addition to the demo, Activision has also revealed that the Pro Skater 3+4 remake will be released on July 11 on various platforms, including PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC. The game will be available on Game Pass on day one and will feature a mix of old and new skaters. The remake will reimagine the gameplay of the fourth entry to align with its classic two-minute objective format.
Fans have taken to social media platforms such as Reddit and Twitter to express their opinions on the demo exclusivity. Some are disappointed by the decision, while others are excited to get their hands on the game regardless of the exclusivity. It remains to be seen how this controversy will impact the overall reception of Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4 upon its full release.
As the release date approaches, the gaming community eagerly anticipates diving back into the world of Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater and experiencing the nostalgia of the beloved franchise once again.
