Longer combos (and subsequently, higher scores and bigger disappointments) are likely taking place on a virtual skate-park near you, as Tony Hawk's Pro Skater HD's Revert Pack has successfully landed all four of its polymer wheels on XBLA and PSN.PC proponents of preposterous push-board performances can expect the DLC to hit Steam "within a couple days," an Activision representative has informed us. Right now though, console kickers can get the download's three Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 levels for 400 MS Points/$4.99. All users, however, will receive the eponymous "revert" ability as a free system update, which allows for combo continuation by linking ground and vertical tricks.%Gallery-172816%
Tony Hawk's Pro Skater HD 'Revert' DLC drops Dec. 4, everyone gets revert ability for free
On December 4, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater HD will add three levels from Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 as premium DLC: Los Angeles, Airport and Canada. Along with these levels, the revert ability from THPS 3 will be included in the 400 MS Point ($4.99) DLC package.However, the revert was previously localized to those three DLC levels only, and now Activision says all Tony Hawk HD players will receive a free update adding revert to the original levels. So if you want the three additional levels, you can snag them on December 4 for half a sawbuck or you can take the free update and up your high scores on the original lineup pulled from the first two Tony Hawk games. Or you can do both. Really it's entirely up to you.%Gallery-171573%
Tony Hawk's Pro Skater HD DLC reverts into an early Dec. release window
Tony Hawk's Pro Skater HD's "Revert Pack" DLC has been pushed back until the first week of December, Activision has announced on the game's Facebook page. Originally, the DLC pack containing select levels from Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 was slated to hit consoles in early November."It's later than all of us hoped, and we're sorry about that," the update reads. When it does launch, however, the DLC will be available on 360, PS3 and PC, as the Steam version of the game is now available. If nothing else, the delay will at least allows more time for our shattered knee-caps to heal after trying to do some of this stuff in real life. Getting hit by a speeding golf cart can do a lot of damage, as it turns out.
Tony Hawk's Pro Skater HD 'Airport' and 'Los Angeles' DLC footage leaks
The Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 DLC for Tony Hawk's Pro Skater HD still doesn't have an official release date, but at least we can take a gander at what two of its three levels look like in action. The videos, both above and after the break, show off the $5 DLC pack's Airport and Los Angeles levels (respectively), as well as its exclusive revert move.The third level's location remains a mystery at the moment, as do the identities of the pro skaters that will also be included in the DLC, but what we do know is that riding a skateboard like that in an airport would get you thrown in prison, or jail, or both.In related news, THPSHD launches on PSN today, nearly six weeks after its original release as an Xbox Live Summer of Arcade jam back in July. When asked if he was excited about the PSN version, a random skateboard person in front of our bank did a kickflip and called us a "suit," which we think is street lingo for "You bet!"
Tony Hawk's Pro Skater HD 'THPS 3' DLC brings back the revert
The $5 DLC arriving roughly a month after the launch of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater HD will bring back the revert, a kind of bridge move introduced in Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 that allows players to chain together combos they couldn't otherwise in previous games. Activision confirmed the news to Joystiq at a recent event.There's one catch: revert will only work within the DLC, and will not be a compatible mechanic in the core Tony Hawk's Pro Skater HD game. Bummer, brah. An Activision rep told us this is because "reverts were introduced in THPS3 and the levels were designed accordingly."Yesterday, Activision told us Airport will be one of the three THPS3 levels to make the cut in the DLC, and that several more skate pros will be added as part of the $5 DLC pack. Above you can see the very first screen from the remade Airport map.
Tony Hawk's Pro Skater HD gets THPS 3 content as DLC for $5
On July 18, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater HD kicks off the Summer of Arcade on Xbox Live. Around 30-45 days after launch, a $5 DLC pack will be added, full of select content from Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3.Activision reps couldn't get into specifics on exactly what would be added, but we at least know Airport is one of the levels that made the cut, and that more pros will be included. If this all sounds familiar, it's because the Hawk himself pegged other games in the series as potential sources of DLC for Pro Skater HD.
