I can’t wait for September to get here.Īnyway, that’s him playing Paper Mario: The Origami King, which he started up on the Switch this week. I’m hoping I can eke out a 100,000 point line and get my overall 2-minute run high score to 500,000. My longest line is somewhere around 80,000. My current high score is in the ballpark of 300,000. So far, I’ve done at least a dozen runs of the demo. It’s like sliding under a warm blanket in a cold room. Playing the demo of Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1+2 was like riding a bike. It’s a mission statement from Activision and the remake’s developers Vicarious Visions (Albany, NY represent!). That demo was probably similar to this one. My precise memories of the late ‘90s Tony Hawk video game hype cycle are fuzzy, but I certainly do remember playing that initial demo. The demo echoes a lot of the magic of the initial release. It’s just you, Tony Hawk, a skateboard, and tricks. It’s quite literally just a 2-minute run of the Warehouse.

I got a chance to check out the demo (thanks Activision!) and well, I’m extremely optimistic about a game I was already very optimistic about. If you pre-ordered Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1+2 (aka the remake of the first two Tony Hawk games coming out in September), then you will get access to a demo that contains the classic first level: the Warehouse.
