Tony Hawk has revealed the return of the best bits of the first two Tony Hawk's Pro Skater games in Tony Hawk's Pro Skater HD.

The new title cherry-picks everyone's favourite parts of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater and Pro Skater 2 in a tasty new HD package to download on consoles in 2012.

The legend said: "[It's the] best of our first two games but for the new consoles," he said. "All the same gameplay people love and the joystick controls, big scoring combos and a lot of the classic stuff we had but some new stuff as well."

"People can come back to it and find new challenges to do, not just the ones we set up for them," Hawk added. "But we're going back to the old two minute challenges, collect the letters, get the combos, get the scores. I'm out of my mind excited about it."

Activision will be hoping to revive the series by reminding gamers exactly why they fell in love with the series in the first place when the series arrived back in the late ninties.

Thanks Eurogamer.
