Following the announcement of the Tony Hawk Pro Skater Pro 1 and 2 Remaster, Activation released a list of which songs will be included in the soundtrack. They even compiled a list of those songs and created a Spotify tracklist for us to listen to.
Originally when I heard of the remasters, I figured the original songs simply wouldn’t make the cut. However, I was pleasantly surprised to see that most of the songs that accompanied the original games were going to be included.
Below is a list of the following songs that are in the remasters.
- “Police Truck” — Dead Kennedys
- “Superman” — Goldfinger
- “Jerry Was A Race Car Driver” — Primus
- “New Girl” — The Suicide Machines
- “Here and Now” — The Ernies
- “Euro-Barge” — The Vandals
- “Blood Brothers” — Papa Roach
- “Guerilla Radio” — Rage Against The Machine
- “Pin the Tail on the Donkey” — Naughty by Nature
- “You” — Bad Religion
- “When Worlds Collide” — Powerman 5000
- “No Cigar” — Mlilencolin
- “Cyclone” — Dub Pistols
- “May 16” — Lagwagon
- “Subculture (feat. Dieselboy + Kaos VIP)” — Styles of Beyond
- “Heavy Metal Winner” — Consumed
- “Evil Eye” — Fu Manchu
- “Five Lessons Learned” — Swingin’ Utters
While the majority of songs are back, there are stilll a few favorites that aren’t coming back. Looking at the missing tracks, I feel that the tracks cut from Tony Hawk Pro Skater 2 hurt the soundtrack a bit more than those from the original game. Here’s what’s missing
- “Even Rude” — Villified (Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1)
- “Speedealer” — Screamer Driver (Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1)
- Suicidal Tendencies” — Cyco Vision (Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1)
- “Committed” — Unsane (Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 2)
- “Bring Tha Noize” — Public Enemy (Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 2)
- “B-Boy Document” — The High & Mighty, Mad Skillz, Mos Def (Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 2)
- “Out With The Old” — Alleylife (Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 2)
Needless to say, missing both Bring Tha Noize and B-Boy Document is frustrating, as those were some of the better tracks, IMHO, in the game. Still, I’m glad to see that most of the songs are making a return. Especially considering how much Activision likely had to fork out to get those songs back.
Tony Hawk Pro Skater 1 and 2 Remaster will be released on September 4th, 2020, for PS4, Xbox One, and PC (Epic Games Store). Are you excited about this remaster? Let us know in the comments.
