Overview
Tony Hawk's Remastered is considered a severe disappointment, falling short of the original titles and receiving a 1.7 out of 10 rating.
The release faces criticism for unresponsive controls with an observed 0.4-second delay, underwhelming graphics, the removal of body customization and a map editor, a $40 price tag, and the absence of a Nintendo Switch version.
Themes
Nostalgia and personal background skateboarding and playing Tony Hawk's games in the 1990s.
Control latency, input unresponsiveness, and gameplay trick execution.
Visual quality and hardware generation graphical expectations.
Omission of character creation body options and map editing features.
Retail pricing and platform availability on the Nintendo Switch.
Uncertainties & gaps
Whether rose-tinted nostalgia influences the impression that the remastered graphics look substantially worse than the original.
Whether the lack of an option to create a fat skater stemmed from political correctness.
Whether the map editor was omitted because developers ran out of time, exhausted their budget, or chose not to bother.
