Sure thing! Here’s a reworked version with that human-like touch:

Okay, so Tony Hawk, the guy who made skateboarding look cooler than ice cream on a hot day, has been chatting about the tunes in the new Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4. I mean, fans have been kinda loud about missing those epic tracks from the old games. You know, like Goldfinger’s “Superman” and Bad Religion’s “You.” But hey, Tony and the crew threw in a bunch of newbies too, trying to introduce us to fresh beats.
This whole thing came out on July 11, and it’s basically a blast from the past, bringing back Pro Skater 3 and 4 from the early 2000s. Like, seriously, those were simpler times. And guess what? You get to roll with the big shots like Leo Baker, Bam Margera, and even Lizzie Armanto. Oh, and Doom Slayer pops in too, which is kinda wild if you ask me.
Now, onto the Xbox Game Pass bit—THPS 3 + 4 is in there with games like Pentiment (no clue what that is, but sounds intriguing), Mafia: Definitive Edition, and Doom: The Dark Ages. Imagine mixing all those up… a skater in medieval times battling with doomsday weapons? Whoa.
Anyway—wait, where was I? Oh yeah, Tony talked to BBC News about the game’s song choices, saying he wanted to keep it “fresh.” Like, imagine opening Pandora’s box of cool new beats. He did say something about not being the only one calling the shots on the soundtrack, though. Even he can’t say, “It’s my way or the highway.” But he did manage to sneak a band or two in there. Crafty, right?
People have been buzzing, not just about the music. The fan club (more like an army, honestly) even made a petition to boot a song from an old game’s playlist. People take this stuff seriously! Tony also commented on the exclusion of Alien Ant Farm’s “Wish.” He’s like, “Hey, not everything fits in the skate park.” I can almost hear him shrugging through the screen.
Before we all got our hands on it—Activision teased some tracks on Spotify. Classic rock lovers, don’t worry, Motorhead and Adolescents are back in the mix. Plus some fresher acts like Denzel Curry and Turnstile jumped in. It’s a bit of this, a bit of that.
So, should you give it a whirl? If your board’s ready and you’re cool with mixing old-school jams with some new, then totally. And if not—well, dust off your old speakers and vibe on your own terms!

And there it is! Enjoy your skate down memory lane.
