Activision detailed Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater HD today, following a video unveil at this weekend’s Video Game Awards. Developed by Robomodo, creators of Tony Hawk: Ride and Shred, the digital title takes “the best elements” of the classic Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater games and updates them “to create an all new skateboarding experience.” It will release on “leading consoles’ networks” for “about $15” in summer 2012.
“We’re going back to the core of what made the original Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater games so popular, while leveraging today’s console power and online capabilities,” said Tony Hawk. “We’ve updated many elements to reflect today’s skateboarding scene as well. Long-time fans of the series will appreciate the huge amount of polished content at a very low price.”
The game promises to combine “sharp visuals with the best controls ever in a Tony Hawk game” for a “cutting edge” feel. It’ll feature skateboarders “Nyjah Huston, Chris Cole, Eric Koston, Andrew Reynolds, Rodney Mullen, Lyn-z Adams Hawkins (Pastrana), Riley Hawk, and, of course, Tony Hawk himself.”
