For a package containing two fully remade classic games, that’s a remarkably cheap price, especially with most releases these days retailing for around $60. The decision sees the game follow the same route of titles likeCrash Bandicoot: N’Sane Trilogy, Crash Team Racing: Nitro-Fueled,andSpyro: The Reignited Trilogy,which debuted with a lower price tag to account for the fact that the game was a re-imagining of an already released classic. It seemsTony Hawk Pro Skater 1 + 2Digital Deluxe Editionwill retail for slightly more, with Microsoft retailing the game at $49.99 instead.
According to the description, players who purchase theDigital Deluxe Editionupgrade will receive “‘The Ripper’ skater from Powell-Peralta,” as well as “Unique retro outfits for Tony Hawk, Steve Caballero, and Rodney Mullen,” and “Unique retro content for the Create-A-Skater mode.” Clearly, this edition will be a must-buy for players with a deep love for thePro Skaterseries, with retro outfits seemingly referencing some of the older attires available in the original games. Regardless of whether players pre-order the normal or special editions, they will also get access to theWarehouse Demowhenever it becomes available.
