Bam Margera’s Shocking Omission from Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4!

Summary

  • Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4 won’t include Bam Margera.
  • Controversial changes also include scrapping Career mode from Pro Skater 4.

It seems that the upcoming compilation of levels from Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 and 4 won’t include Bam Margera, contrary to his presence in the original game versions.

Just as Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 and 2 saw significant graphic enhancements, so does Pro Skater 3 and 4. Alongside these visual upgrades, the game will introduce fresh skaters, locations, controls, music, online multiplayer options, and additional elements. Though enthusiasts of Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater may relish the new content in 3 and 4, certain alterations are sparking some controversy among the community.

A contentious alteration in the games Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4 is the absence of Bam Margera. Known for his exploits on a skateboard, Margera has been embroiled in numerous legal issues and openly battled substance abuse problems. It’s speculated that these factors led to his exclusion from Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4, although an official explanation hasn’t been provided yet. Previously, Margera was present in both the original Pro Skater 3 and Pro Skater 4, even serving as a mission giver in the latter.

Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4 Won’t Have Bam Margera

The absence of Bam Margera is not the only contentious alteration in the remake of Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4. Additionally, there’s been a revelation that instead of Career mode from Pro Skater 4, a 2-minute challenge system akin to the older Pro Skater games will be implemented. This shift has not been met with enthusiasm by the community, as they had hoped for a faithful remake of Pro Skater 4. However, this change aims to create a more unified experience between 3 and 4, although it’s caused some dissatisfaction among fans.

Fans are expressing concern that the absence of Bam Margera in Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 and 4 might suggest that future remakes of Tony Hawk games may not be successful. Bam Margera played a significant role in Tony Hawk’s Underground 2, both in its narrative and gameplay aspects. It appears challenging to re-create Tony Hawk’s Underground 2 without Bam Margera, which means the classic game might remain confined to older gaming platforms unless there are changes involving Bam Margera in the future.

Although some enthusiasts might feel let down by the modifications in the upcoming version of Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 and 4, there’s a silver lining: gamers won’t have to pay full price to play it. Just like other Xbox-owned games, Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4 will be available for play on the first day of its release in July through Xbox Game Pass.
