⚫︎ Tony Hawk has responded to fan questions about the soundtrack for the upcoming THPS 3+4 remake, clarifying that he personally chose to reduce the number of legacy tracks. In an Instagram reply, Hawk shared that he opted for a blend of new music and familiar artists, picking alternate songs from musicians who appeared in the original THPS 3 and 4 soundtracks.

“It was my choice to pick some different songs by the same artists featured in THPS3+4 OST,” he stated. “I’m hoping that discovery is half the fun, and a big reason that these soundtracks resonated in the first place. So listen and enjoy the ride. More to come… both old and new.”
