Enthusiasts of the iconic skateboarding franchise have expressed mixed feelings about the upcoming remastered edition of titles 3 and 4, primarily due to adjustments made to the fourth game’s original design. Recent updates indicate that nearly all legacy content will remain in the revised package.

For context, this compilation merges the third and fourth entries, mirroring the approach seen in the earlier THPS 1 + 2 remake. A notable alteration involves restructuring THPS4’s free-roaming gameplay to align with the traditional timed sessions from prior releases.

This modification has raised questions within the community, given that later stages were originally crafted for exploratory play rather than strict time constraints. Initial assumptions suggested certain quirky challenges might not survive the transition. However, developers confirmed through official channels that these unconventional tasks will reappear as post-completion rewards.

The Pro Goals mechanic will house these eccentric objectives, activated after clearing a level’s primary hurdles like collecting letters and achieving score targets. Additionally, players can extend session durations up to 60 minutes through menu adjustments, offering flexibility for complex challenges.

While core gameplay elements remain preserved, minor exclusions include recreational activities like virtual tennis from the fourth installment. Fans can anticipate experiencing rebuilt courses and mechanics when the package launches mid-2025, with early access available through pre-order incentives.
