Alright, so here’s what went down. Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4 decided to yank out a Guitar Hero Easter egg from the game. Why? Well, it got a few folks riled up. The game, which hit the scene in July, was like a blast from the past mixed with some modern flair, you know?
Anyway, Iron Galaxy cooked up this remake where you and seven other skater pals can dive into these legendary spots and pull off mind-blowing combos. Oh, and if you’re the creative type, there’s a whole playground where you can create skaters and parks. I mean, Michelangelo from the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles even made a surprise debut as a skater. Too cool.
So, about that Easter egg — it involved a Guitar Hero reference dumped, quite literally, in a virtual trash can. The news made the rounds on Reddit, sparked by user will-powers. The image popped up and bam! The community was buzzing about it since, well, Guitar Hero was another big name back in the day.
This “oopsie” found itself in the Waterpark level, which is one of the newer skating spots in this remake, alongside Movie Studio and Pinball. Funny thing is, Waterpark’s perfect for combo lovers with its ramps and rides scattered everywhere. It’s like they designed it specifically to get your inner trickster all hyped up.
Iron Galaxy, probably scratching their heads, admitted the Easter egg removal and pledged their respects to fellow game developers. They even promised to look into how this rogue Easter egg landed there. Random, right? Oh, speaking of surprises, remember the buzz about the Bikini Bottom Easter egg? It was locked behind the Deluxe Edition and stirred the pot a bit too.
So, that’s what’s happening in skater land. What’s next? Who knows! But hey, at least the game’s good at keeping us on our toes.
