One of the biggest reasons for why we remember the Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater games so fondly is because of the licensed soundtrack. From punk rock to hip-hop, and a new wave of hardcore with the remasters, the series forged our music tastes, and it will continue to do so with Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4 Remastered coming July 11 this year. In the lead up to its release, Activision is putting together the official THPS 3 + 4 playlist on Spotify and continually updating it as it reveals more and more of the song list.
The first wave of tracks have just been revealed, and here are the songs we currently know of for the THPS 3 + 4 Remastered soundtrack:
“Ace of Spades” by Motörhead”Them Bones” by Alice in Chains”Ultimate” by Denzel Curry”Gang of Four” by Damaged Goods”96 Quite Bitter Beings” by CKY”Yankee and the Brave (Ep. 4)” by Run the Jewels”King of the Beach” by Wavves”Real Thing” by Turnstile”Not the Same” by Bodyjar”New Wage Salary” by End It”Head” by Jeff Rosenstock”Collard Greens” by Schoolboy Q and Kendrick Lamar”Outta Here” by KRS-One”Result” by TCMF”Dog Years” by Urethane”Charlotte” by Kittie”Mass Appeal” by Gang Starr”Faster than the World” by H20″Roadkill” by Starcrawler”Amoeba” by Adolescents
Additionally, those who get the deluxe edition of the game, or access it through Xbox Game Pass, will also get a full band version of the Doom E1M1 theme song as a playable track (along with the Doom Slayer and Revenant skater skins).
Personally, I’d love to hear Guttermouth’s “I’m Destroying the World” and AFI’s “The Boy Who Destroyed the World” from THPS 3 make comebacks, as well as Bad Religion’s “Big Bang” and Flogging Molly’s “Drunken Lullabies” from THPS 4. That’s mostly because I’m a washed up old punk kid. However, it’s an opportunity to discover new music and celebrate the scene as it is today, bridging the gap between the new and old as was the case with THPS 1 + 2 Remastered from 2021.
Those who preorder THPS 3 + 4 Remastered’s deluxe or collector’s edition can access the playable demo right now which includes two parks, two skaters, and a limited soundtrack. An exclusive physical Birdhouse skate deck also comes with the collector’s edition. You’ll also be able to access the full game early on July 8, three days ahead of its official release date.
