Nu Tony Hawk Pro Skater HD bijna te downloaden is, doet TH de nodige promotie rond om deze titel. Zo heeft hij een interview met de website Worthplaying gehad, en daar komt onder andere ten spraken over de huidige skate titels en de tijd dat de eerste Tony Hawk games op de markt verschenen.

WP: What's it like going back to the original Tony Hawk's Pro Skater so many years after it hit the original PlayStation? It's got to be like coming back home or something.

Tony Hawk: It is! It's very exciting because obviously, it's our first game, but if you think about how far the technology has come and how much better the graphics and motion are, it's kind of like starting over. If you want to take a frame grab from our first game and compare it to this game and the same level and the same trick, it's worlds away. I'm very excited to bring that type of gameplay to the new generation but also to the people who were fans of the original series and are still playing games.

WP: How has skating changed over the years since the original Tony Hawk game was released?

TH: Skating has gotten much more popular. It's much - I don't want to say mainstream, but definitely way more participants, much more appreciation from the general public. The skating itself has evolved. Skating always evolves - I mean, that's what I've always loved about it. If you look at the tricks that we were doing in the initial release of our game and the tricks that are available now, it's pretty amazing.
