A fortunate customer at GameStop recently experienced a thrilling surprise while picking up their copy of Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4 HD. The long-awaited resurgence of this classic skateboarding franchise generated considerable anticipation among fans ahead of its release. The remastered game not only features the complete roster of skaters from the original titles but also introduces exciting guest characters, such as the Doom Slayer and Michelangelo from the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
The game’s Collector’s Edition comes with significant perks for those choosing the premium options. The Deluxe Edition offers players exclusive content tied to the Doom crossover, showcasing characters like the Doom Slayer and one of the franchise’s Revenants. The physical Collector’s Edition includes a unique skateboard deck designed by the renowned skateboarding brand Birdhouse, founded by Tony Hawk himself.
However, one lucky fan received their edition in a way they did not anticipate. On a Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater subreddit, a now-deleted Reddit user shared their remarkable experience at GameStop, revealing that they received a Collector’s Edition instead of the standard one due to a mix-up by an employee. This fortunate error meant that they only had to pay $50 instead of the usual $130 for the premium game set.
Responses to the post were filled with astonishment from fans, with many commending the quality of the skateboard deck in the Collector’s Edition. Some users speculated humorously about the GameStop employee’s fate, questioning whether they faced any consequences for the mistake. Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4 HD not only evokes nostalgia but also highlights the evolution of skateboarding since the franchise’s inception.
As fans gear up for the return of this iconic series, the revamped game promises enhanced features such as cross-platform online multiplayer, improved visuals, and expanded custom creation modes. With everything beloved about the franchise returning, including past skaters, stages, and music, this release reinforces that the thrill of skating remains alive and well.
