Summary
After months of rumours and speculation, former Jackass star Bam Margera has finally been confirmed to be a part ofTony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4’s roster.
From the moment it was first rumoured thatActivision and Xbox were finally getting ready to announce the long-awaited Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4, long-term fans had one big question - would Bam Margera be making it onto the roster? The first remastered collectionscrubbed him from existence due to his troubled actions over the past decade, leaving a lot of us wondering what might happen.
Bam’s inclusion has been a massive talking point over the past few months,with rumours suggesting that Tony Hawk himself demanded that Activision put him in the game, something thatBam seemed unsure of when asked about it recently. It seems he was just playing coy, though, as it’s finally been officially confirmed to be true.
Bam Is Back As A Secret Skater In Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4
No Gameplay Makes Him Seem Like A Late Addition
Earlier today,the official Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater accounts shared a behind-the-scenes videothat confirms once and for all that Bam is going to be part of the game as a secret skater. The video shows Bam being motion-captured for the remake and has him talking about his experience with the series.
For whatever reason, we don’t actually get to see any gameplay footage of Bam skating around, which supports the rumour thathe’s a very late addition to the game that only happened because Tony Hawk specifically requested it. That would also explain why Bam himself seemed to be unsure of whether he’d be in the game due to missing the deadline.
The lack of gameplay is also something that’s been spotted by fans, as the comments section under the YouTube video is full of jokes about Bam only just making it.
Bam being a secret skater instead of a returning one like most of the other Pro Skater mainstays alsofurthers the idea that Activision wasn’t initially planning on including him. Still, even if that is the case, it seems like it was all worked out in time for the game’s launch next month and, as you’re able to probably tell from the video, no one seems happier about it than Bam himself.
