Tony Hawk coming to iPhone soon

A leak on Tony Hawk's official Twitter account has revealed this picture, which appears to be Tony Hawk's Pro Skater game being played right there on the iPhone. The tweet that linked to this picture seems to be gone, but it promised that "This is real & dropping soon." If we believe this message, it looks like we may be seeing the seminial skating series on the iPhone in the near future.

My Tony Hawk knowledge is far from complete, but that level certainly does look like the hangar level from Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2, which was my personal favorite way back on the Playstation 1 (I also played it quite a bit on the PC back in the day). Of course, just because the aforementioned level is in there, that doesn't mean that it's the full Pro Skater 2 (the iPhone version could be a mixup of levels from the previous skating games). However, given the font, and the d-pad and button layout, it does seem that we'll be seeing some old school TH action (as opposed to the recent Tony Hawk Ride debacle). We'll keep an eye on the store and let you know if and when we see something.

Straight-up porting a game with a D-Pad doesn't make that much sense to me. Well, I can see it from a business standpoint, but as a consumer it would be far more interesting to me to see a game like this that takes advantage of the iPhone/iPod touch's capabilities. Seems to me that a game about skateboarding, which takes balance, is well suited to use the accelerometer.

I know this was posted by Tony Hawk himself, but it's entirely possible that the Game is running on a jailbroken device using a Playstation Emulator.

I'm aware there are none like that as standard, but I was under the impression you could skin them.

Not to be nitpicky, but that looks a little bit more like an iPod touch than an iPhone. ;)

Anyways... I'm excited. Not a huge fan of the Tony Hawk series, but if this has any sort of multiplayer, I'll be picking it up.

THPS 4 would be a lot better than 2. If I'd wanted to play THPS2 i'd have kept my ngage.
