Announcement[]
In December 2011, Tony Hawk himself made it official at the 2011 Spike Video Game Awards that the series would return in 2012 with Tony Hawk's Pro Skater HD.
This title, upon announcement caused a huge resonance in the community. Franchise fans hoped that Robomodo will use this chance to develop a successful title that will bring the franchise back on the track after two not very successful games.
The developers promised to combine the best elements of original game, upgraded for today with sharp visuals and fresh content.
Level Choices[]
The original tweet.
The level list was a subject to discuss during the development, where Tony Hawk posted on Twitter (now known as X) asking what their favorite levels were from Pro Skater and Pro Skater 2. This led to many "Top 5 Levels" being spawned throughout the fandom.
However, it's easy to spot that every level from the final level roster was already reused once: Venice, Hangar, School 2 in THUG, Warehouse (as Training), Downhill Jam and 3 DLC levels in THUG2, Mall and Marseille in THAW. It is known that Robomodo used THUG2 source code, which might explain the level choice.
