"Using some nice editing, Hawk interacts with the game's popular villain, Eric Sparrow, even calling him a bully at one point. At the very end, Hawk leaves and jokes, "Whoa! I can get off my board?!", a reference to the fact that in THUG players could, for the first time in franchise history, hop off their skateboards and walk around levels."
"The video is marked as "Not a THUG promo." Hawk also claims that the reason he created this short bit of nostalgia bait is to have some fun and celebrate Video Games Day. And like, yeah, I get that he's trying to make it clear this isn't a teaser, but of course, the internet is going to internet. Many are already assuming or hoping that this Instagram post is actually the first bit of marketing for a full-on Tony Hawk's Underground remake."
Activision released Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3+4 earlier this year as a remastered collection. Tony Hawk posted an Instagram video recreating the intro cutscene from Tony Hawk's Underground, portraying the player-created character and wearing a similar outfit. The clip used edits to show Hawk interacting with antagonist Eric Sparrow and ends with the line "Whoa! I can get off my board?!", referencing THUG's first-time ability to exit skateboards. The video carried a "Not a THUG promo" label and Hawk said he made it to have fun and celebrate Video Games Day. Fans reacted by hoping the clip signals an Underground remake.
