Activision annoncerede i går at Tony Hawk 4 er færdig programmeret og er i gang med at blive mangfoldiggjort på et DVD trykkeri. Det er også på høje tid, da spillet står til at skulle udgives i USA den 23. november.
Tony 4 er, som titlen antyder det fjerde spil i rækken og kan i denne nyeste version prale af at have 14 pro skatere, de største baner nogensinde og et soundtrack bestående af rock, metal, hiphop og pop. Ydermere er gameplayet blevet tweaket og det er muligt at spille online med op til syv andre spillere over hele verden.
Tony Hawk 4 kommer til PS2, Xbox, GameCube, Game Boy Advance og PSOne.
Her under er et uddrag af pressemeddelelsen fra Activison omkring udgivelsen og en komplet liste over soundtracket:
Activision will be supporting the game's launch with a multi-million dollar marketing campaign, the largest in the company's history, which includes national television, print and online advertising, as well as demo kiosks at all major retail outlets.
Further support of the game's launch includes Activision's title sponsorship of the Boom Boom HuckJam Arena Tour 2002. At select arena tour performances across the United States, Activision will be promoting Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 4 through its Ultimate Challenge Backyard BBQ, where skateboarding and gaming fans can fuel up on free food, check out cool music and demo the new video game. Additionally, consumers nationwide can enter a national "Tour with Tony" sweepstakes contest for a chance to win a trip to Ft. Lauderdale, Florida to attend the final performance of the arena tour.
Retail support for the launch include a pre-order program which began on October 3, 2002 with EB, GameStop and Best Buy, whereby consumers who pre-order Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 4 will receive a limited edition DVD. Pre-orders taken at EB and GameStop will receive a "Making of the Boom Boom HuckJam" feature, while Best Buy will offer a DVD of highlights from various Tony Hawk videos including Tony Hawk's Gigantic Skate Park Tour and Trick Tips.
Additionally, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 4 will be the first Activision game to launch on the new next-generation mobile telephones that will feature color screens and advanced audio capabilities. The wireless title will debut along side Activision's console and hand-held games and offer the same rich and compelling gameplay. Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 4 will be developed for multiple wireless platforms and optimized to take advantage of the new handsets' features to deliver an enhanced mobile gaming experience through a co-publishing agreement between Activision and JAMDAT Mobile Inc., a leading wireless entertainment publisher.
