Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4 Has Career Mode After All

by

Back in the day, I had my heart racing with anticipation over the rumors about the remake of Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 and 4. However, a concern started to creep in as whispers suggested that one of the most cherished features from the original games – Career Mode – might be left out.

Back when the game was unveiled, what we received were trailers brimming with tantalizing glimpses of levels, tricks, and next-gen visuals. Yet, there was no real gameplay to be seen or played. It didn’t take long for us, avid gamers, to notice something amiss. Conspicuously absent from the discussion was the Career Mode that graced THPS4, a mode that eliminated time constraints in favor of an open, challenge-driven experience.

Without warning, the verified Tony Hawk account posted on Twitter, “Apparently, there’s no limit to careers!” This statement was delivered with a touch of self-assuredness. While Career Mode has been incorporated into the game, it deviates from what long-time THPS4 enthusiasts are accustomed to.

As reported by Activision and various reliable sources, THPS3 + 4 will incorporate a career mode that spans all maps, but it won’t replicate the open-roaming format found in the original Pro Skater 4. Instead, the revamped version introduces a shared two-minute objective system, reminiscent of the earlier Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater games.

On THPS4 maps, you’ll find yourself skating, combining tricks, and accomplishing tasks, all during time-limited sessions. This alteration has elicited varied responses. For numerous fans, simply having a career mode rekindled their trust in the project.

In this rephrased version, I aimed to maintain the original meaning while using more natural language and simplifying some phrases for easier reading.

Many supporters expressed their intention to boycott the game unless Career Mode was included, while others viewed the brief matches as a nostalgic throwback. Some gamers are optimistic that an open-world structure might be added post-launch, potentially through the newly announced HAWK Mode mentioned on the official site.

As a gamer, it feels like the developers have been tuning in to our voices, and the feedback from the community seems to have steered their direction or at least brought some clarity post-release. There’s a hint of knowing humor in how they’ve shared the updates—one user even quipped that they “whipped up a career mode” within a month, responding to the backlash.

The return of Career Mode, whether as a final tweak or strategic promotion, is certainly an enticing factor for many. If you’ve been yearning for a chance to explore your beloved Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 4 maps once more, this development could very well be the incentive you’ve been seeking.
