Sure, let’s spin this tale into something that breathes a bit more. Here goes:

So listen, Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4 is out in early access for lucky ducks who grabbed the Digital Deluxe Edition. I’m kind of jealous, not gonna lie. Everyone else, hold tight until July 11 when it hits everything from Xbox Series X to the classic PS4. Honestly, it’s like Christmas for skater nerds. Even the ones waving their Game Pass around get in on day one. And yep, it plays nicely with all that Smart Delivery jazz. Who even gets that stuff? I sure don’t.
Okay, back to earth. The legacy of Tony Hawk is like a warm mug of hot cocoa. Or maybe a melting ice cream cone on a sunny day—depends on your vibe, really. We all tried doing those virtual tricks IRL (and bruised a tailbone or two). This new rendition comes packed with that nostalgia. Classic skaters, plus new faces? Secret ones, too. Like, Bam Margera? Epic! The soundtrack’s loaded with bangers both old and new. Makes those wipeouts a bit more bearable.
For all you rookies wondering where to start, maybe stick to the street first. Tricks like ollies and kickflips are your bread and butter. Imagine feeling like a superhero—harder than it looks, trust me. Grinds come next, like rails, benches, and more. Mess around with those, and you’ll crank up your Special meter before you know it.
Goals, goals, goals. That’s how you level up. It’s kind of like chores, but, well, fun. Collect those S-K-A-T-E letters first. Trust me, it’s like a secret map to mastering the layouts. Once you’re comfy, spice it up with some flips and grinds. Rinse and repeat. Oh, and hell, don’t be afraid to faceplant sometimes. Bailing is part of the gig, right? Hit RT at the last second to salvage whatever dignity you’ve got left.
Places like the college have these pockets—rails, half-pipes, you name it—where you can go nuts stacking up those points. Behind the ticket office, there’s this zone that’s like a rail paradise. Dive in, mix it up, and raise that multiplier like a boss. The real world could learn something.
Invest, yeah? Not in stocks but your skater’s talents. Air, Speed, Hangtime. You gotta power up your skater with these Stat Points. Makes all those mid-air spins and flips like… magic? Seemed to work for me, anyway.
This is barely scratching the surface. Whether you’re going solo or rallying online buddies, you’re in for a wild ride. Oh, did I mention there’s a tutorial narrated by Tony Hawk himself? Nostalgia punch, straight to the gut. Go, get the Digital Deluxe—it’s available now for some early shredding with content so dope you might even believe you’re a pro. Maybe.
