For the first time in a Tony Hawk sports game players will have the freedom to define their character, story and style based on the choices they make, the paths they choose and the style of skating they use on the proving grounds from Philadelphia and Baltimore to Washington, D.C. This is no straight-up sequel a la Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 9.
Tony Hawk’s Proving Ground will be released in Q4 2007 on Xbox 360, PS3, PS2, Wii & DS. The Neversoft developed title will feature deeper customization, including a Video Editor with full-featured editing tools and visual effects for creating “epic skate videos,” and a fully customizable online Skate Lounge where players can skate with friends in the ultimate pad. In addition, players will have the freedom to skate from single player to online seamlessly, as well as utilize new gameplay mechanics such as skateable terrain altering and building, and Bowl Carving, delivering the most empowered skating experience so far.
