Here's More Evidence That A New Tony Hawk Game Is Coming
On February 18, in an interview with the Breakfast Club podcast, professional skateboarder Tyshawn Jones talked about how he started skating, and his ongoing career. And during the interview, Jones offhandedly mentioned a new Tony Hawk game.
I'm in a Tony Hawk [game] coming out, so that's cool,' said Jones. 'They got a new one they're remastering. So that's about to come out. I was in the last one.'
Jones, who is 26, seems to be referring to his appearance in Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1+2, the last game released in the franchise. This remake of the first two games in the series launched in 2020. This is the only THPS game that Jones has appeared in, so he seems to be indicating that a new game—his second appearance in the series—is coming soon. Activision has yet to announce anything.
This isn't the first time we've heard about a new Tony Hawk's Pro Skater game being in development. Back in September 2024, Tony Hawk himself confirmed that him and THPS publisher Activision were talking and 'working on something.'
Hawk later followed that tease up with another, claiming that while he wasn't allowed to say anything, he could confirm the beloved skateboarding franchise did indeed have a 'future.' That sounds a lot like a new game is coming!
The question now is what is this new THPS game going to be? In today's interview appearance, Jones claims it's a remaster of some kind. Perhaps this next game will be THPS 3+4, as was first pitched a few years ago following the success of THPS 1+2. Activision wasn't interested at the time. Or maybe it's a remaster or remake of Tony Hawk's Underground, my favorite game in the series and a fan favorite. Or maybe its a totally new mobile game and we are all getting way too excited about these teases.
One thing is for sure: There seems to be a new Tony Hawk skateboarding game in our near future. Let's hope its good.

Jon Jones fires back at Daniel Cormier for not including him in MMA Mount Rushmore
Former UFC rivals Jon Jones and Daniel Cormier likely never will stop bickering at each other. Cormier was asked to give his MMA Mount Rushmore, where he included Demetrious Johnson, Georges St-Pierre, Khabib Nurmagomedov, and mentioned either Chuck Liddell or Randy Couture as a potential fourth. He noticeably left out Anderson Silva and arch rival Jon Jones (28-1 MMA, 22-1 UFC) because of their past history with testing positive for performance-enhancing drugs. "I don't believe that he (Jones) should be considered the greatest of all time," Cormier said on "Club Shay Shay." "Steroids in fighting is much different than anything else in the world." Jones defeated Cormier twice during his UFC light heavyweight title reign – with their rematch overturned to a no contest after Jones tested positive for a turinabol metabolite. Jones also tested positive for estrogen blockers clomiphene and letrozole in 2016 after he defeated Ovince Saint Preux. In both instances, an independent arbitrator determined that Jones did not knowingly cheat. "You just can't have that tied to your name, especially in fighting, and people call you the greatest of all time," Cormier said. "He's the greatest talent the sport has ever seen. In terms of his length, his skills, his mind, he's the most talented guy we've ever had." Jones was not going to allow Cormier to question his greatness. "When DC tells his story, somehow I'm always the co-star. Thanks @ShannonSharpe84for the invite, even if I was only there in spirit. #Airbnb." "High school state champ, JUCO national champ, youngest UFC champion, greatest in MMA history. A lifetime of loss, victories and sacrifice and this guy wants to write it all off as steroids. Honestly, it's insulting. But I can't help but laugh, knowing it was God given abilities that made him feel so inferior."

'I bust my (expletive)': Jerry Jones defends Cowboys' marketing over winning
Again, for maybe the 29th time over the years, I had to ask Jerry Jones to explain how the Dallas Cowboys – the most valuable sports franchise on the planet – have sustained such immense popularity despite continually falling short of winning championships. Then again, why ask? Just look around. Or watch. There's a fresh answer with the compelling eight-part docuseries, 'America's Team: The Gambler and His Cowboys,' that dropped this week on Netflix. It reminds us that no team does drama quite like the Cowboys. And it reinforces the fact that no team markets itself quite like 'America's Team.' 'I explain it by hard work. I bust my ass,' Jones, referring to the franchise's value and popularity, told USA TODAY Sports over lunch recently in his training camp office in Oxnard, California. 'This exact same hard work that is going on in the football. I work my ass off. And that hasn't slowed down. This is the busiest I've ever been at training camp.' All that busy work, though, hasn't resulted in a contract extension for All-Pro linebacker Micah Parsons, whose 'hold-in' attempt for a new deal has juiced the summer episode of the NFL's longest-running soap opera. And Jones freely admits he doesn't mind the drama. After all, the rift with Parsons keeps the Cowboys ticking on the relevance meter. The docuseries, meanwhile, adds more layers to the buzz. Sure, the rise and fall of Jerry's Cowboys – who haven't even advanced to the NFC title game in the 29 years since winning a third Super Bowl crown during the 1990s – deserves documentary treatment. There are electric characters. Rich storylines. Fascinating details. Heaps of controversy. Yet despite revealing perspectives shared by the likes of Michael Irvin, Troy Aikman and Charles Haley, among others, the docuseries feels too much like a slick, PR-crafted production. I mean, did they really need those cheesy Western-themed backdrops and effects? Also, for all the candid revelations from Irvin – who provided backstory from his 1996 drug possession trial and spilled the tea on the 'White House' near the team's headquarters, where some players engaged in booze, drugs and sex escapades – there was no such depth relating to multiple controversies attached to Jones. Exclusive: Jerry Jones unplugged. He talks Micah Parsons contract Not that I'm surprised. Somebody had to sign off on all the access and cooperation that gave the project its juice. Rather than delve into the team owner's stance a few years ago against national anthem protests by NFL players or touch the since-settled legal issues linked to a woman alleging to be Jones' illegitimate daughter, the directing duo of brothers Chaplain and Maclain Way portrayed Jones in a manner he would undoubtedly approve of. Sure, Jones ignited controversy from the start of his ownership in 1989 when he, well, aptly replaced the legendary Tom Landry with Jimmy Johnson. And during the mid-'90s he sued NFL partners in breaking off to secure his own massive marketing deals. Look at how that controversy turned out: Forbes, in its latest compilation, values the franchise at $12.8 billion. And Jones, who bought the team for roughly $150 million, is in the Hall of Fame, having forever changed the NFL business landscape as the league's most powerful owner. Yet it will be tough for longtime Cowboys fans to waltz down memory lane without connecting the nostalgia with the current state of affairs. The final episode of the docuseries titled, 'The Drought,' covers the 29 years since Super Bowl 30. 'What's the common denominator? Jones. I get it,' Jones said. Then Jerry, who is on his eighth head coach since Johnson but will indeed get testy when asked about turning over the reins as GM, digs in. 'How long has it been since Buffalo won the Super Bowl?' he said, knowing that the five-time defending AFC East champion Bills have never won a Super Bowl. 'Buffalo hasn't been chopped liver. They're solid. They're probably in the top third of the NFL.' The Cowboys, meanwhile, posted three consecutive 12-5 records under since-departed coach Mike McCarthy, with two NFC East titles, before sinking to an injury-riddled 7-10 finish in 2024. 'I just can't get as convicted that the way we're doing it, that our approach to trying to win a Super Bowl, that that needs to change,' Jones said. 'I guess that's why I'm so defensive.' He knows. The visibility that comes with being the NFL's biggest draw just increases the heat when they flop, year after year, in chasing another Super Bowl. Put another way, Jones says, 'The ass-kicking that comes with this doesn't deter me at all.' More Jarrett Bell: Todd. Freddie. Dave, Liam and Josh. Baker Mayfield has played for a plethora of OCs Of course, Jones, 82, can still sell it. When he maintains that over the past three decades the Cowboys are among the top six teams in the NFL for victories, it illustrates how hope is such a tangible resource. 'That shows that you're not defunct,' he said. 'Fair? I know we're in range to have success.' But still. A 29-year drought? 'On two or three occasions, if not for a nano-second, a nano-factor, we would've been in the Super Bowl,' he said, including the would-be Dez Bryant catch in a 2014 NFC divisional playoff loss at Green Bay, as an example. 'So, I hang my hat on those times. 'And I hang my hat on the fact that nobody gets to be in 20 of them. Maybe they experienced four of them, or three of them, or like Charles (Haley), five. Thirty years sounds like you should be in half of them. I don't look at it that way. I look at it like how many people have never been in one? I look at the three (Dallas won in the '90s) and I feel like I at least have three years left, or four or five years left, and there's always the promise that I can get it this season. Or get it next season.' Now that's some serious spin. The scene from Dallas' last playoff game – a blowout loss against the Packers in a 2023 NFC wild-card round matchup at JerryWorld that was the worst postseason setback in the franchise's history – certainly provided compelling images for the final episode of the docuseries. Jones was in the locker room consoling players, including Parsons – the man now embroiled in a contract dispute. He hugged Parsons and whispered that the blowout wasn't the fault of the star player. To which Parsons mumbled, 'I just wanna win.' What a contrast to the vibe from the early episodes, which detailed how Johnson established a tone. The coach once refused to allow meal service on the team's chartered flight home after a disturbing loss. And in a classic tirade his first year, Johnson bellowed, 'The asthma field is over there!' after one player explained why he collapsed while running wind sprints. Sure, times have changed. Some of the drills Johnson ordered during his demanding training camps wouldn't be tolerated today, under the collective bargaining agreement. Even so, somebody has to win big. And that is no longer the Cowboys' way. At least when it comes to winning on the field. Otherwise, business is booming for a franchise still commanding a huge presence on the NFL relevance map.

Who can follow Dudamel at the Bowl? Daniil and Daniel with a little help from Rachmaninoff
The obvious fact that Gustavo Dudamel is a hard act to follow is something that has been concerning for the Los Angeles Philharmonic the last two and a half years. Dudamel has but one more season as music and artistic director before moving on to the New York Philharmonic, and the search for a new music director remains ongoing, the L.A. Phil clearly carefully taking the time to get it right. In the meantime, interesting, predictable and unpredictable, stuff happens as it has lately at the Hollywood Bowl. Dudamel made the hard-act-to-follow business nearly an impossible act to follow during the first of what was supposed to be his two weeks at the Bowl this month. He had to cancel his second week, which was to have featured the Simón Bolívar Symphony Orchestra, thanks to new U.S. government travel restrictions for the Venezuelan orchestra. The L.A. Phil filled in with two talented conductors who were Dudamel fellows and are now enjoying prospering careers, Elim Chan and Gemma New. But there were further disappointments. Yuja Wang, who was scheduled to appear with Bolívars in Tchaikovsky's First Piano Concerto, canceled, and the world premiere of Arturo Marquez Concerto Trumpet No. 2, which the L.A. Phil commissioned, had to be postponed. But perhaps the greatest challenge of all was living up to Dudamel's astonishing performance of Mahler's First Symphony at his second Bowl concert. Dudamel has conducted this symphony many times in L.A., including at his first concert in Walt Disney Concert Hall as the orchestra's music director. That youthfully exciting and at times wild 2009 performance by the 28-year-old Dudamel attracted international attention and can be revisited on DVD. At the Bowl this time, Dudamel reached new and surprising interpretive depths. There was a sense of being in the moment in every detail. There was an electric connection between Dudamel, the orchestra and the large audience that expressed its love for Dudamel, chanting 'Gustavo! Gustavo!' The next two evenings at the Bowl, when Dudamel accompanied a screening of 'Jurassic Park' with the score performed live by the L.A. Phil, demonstrated just how much John Williams makes the movie. For Dudamel, there is no equal anywhere to this combination of orchestra, audience, opportunities and venue, and he seemed to very much know that during his brief week in town. For Chan's program a few nights later, she led a colorful, lively evening of Tchaikovsky (the Violin Concerto with James Ehnes as soloist), Britten (Four Sea Interludes from 'Peter Grimes') and Stravinsky ('Firebird' Suite). For some time, Chan has been rumored to be a candidate in the L.A. Phil's music director search. She has become a regular guest conductor and opened the Bowl season last summer. Audiences respond to her verve and so do the players. All of that came across at the Bowl. She returns to Disney in January. Wang's cancellation, however, meant another hard act to follow. Two years ago, the pianist and Dudamel presented a Rachmaninoff festival at Walt Disney Concert Hall that resulted in a bestselling and well-deserved award-winning recording of the composer's four piano concertos and 'Rhapsody on a Theme by Paganini.' The set also proved direct competition with the widely hailed one by the Russian pianist Daniil Trifonov with the Philadelphia Orchestra led by Yannick Nézet-Séguin. This week at the Bowl is Rachmaninoff week, with Trifonov performing two concertos (Nos. 2 and 3) and British conductor Daniel Harding leading the Second Symphony. A 22-year-old Trifonov made his L.A. debut in 2013 at the Bowl in Rachmaninoff's Second Piano Concerto. A dozen years later the Russian pianist who now lives in New York is a star whose playing can be compared with Rachmaninoff's own. Rachmaninoff played his Second Concerto at the Hollywood Bowl in 1942. Suffering poor health, he had moved to Beverly Hills that May and died the following March. Before the concerto, Tchaikovsky's '1812 Overture' was performed as a 'prayer for victory,' the U.S. having entered World War II. Rachmaninoff, who by many accounts (and backed up by his recordings) was one of finest (some said the finest) pianists of his time, was reported to have been in superb form at the Bowl. His performance of his most famous and most romantic concerto was said to embody the seriousness of the times. Four years earlier, he had recorded with the Philadelphia Orchestra, led by Leopold Stokowski. The sound is rough even for its time, but the playing comes from inside. You barely notice the extraordinary virtuosity, so natural is the sentiment. I've never heard another pianist match that organic quality as closely as Trifonov does, and without ever restraining his own personality. Wang is the spine-tingling opposite, pure electricity, pure Yuja Wang, the closest we have today to Vladimir Horowitz, who happened to be Rachmaninoff's Beverly Hills neighbor and favorite pianist. Two weeks after the composer's appearance at the Bowl, Horowitz played Rachmaninoff's Third Piano Concerto in the amphitheater, and Rachmaninoff famously greeted him afterward backstage by saying that Horowitz played the killer concerto exactly the way he wanted to hear it. The Rachmaninoff recordings of Dudamel and Wang remain preferable but not for the soloists, both of whom are extraordinary and authentic with no need to compete. Trifonov is undercut, though, by ostentatious conducting, whereas Dudamel and Wang jibe. For what it's worth, Wang also made her Hollywood Bowl debut with a Rachmaninoff concerto (No. 3) and a famous little orange dress that together helped launch her stellar career. Tuesday at the Bowl, Harding sensitively supported Trifonov, allowing space for the essence of his playing. A little Stokowski-like pizzazz that accompanied Rachmaninoff's recording might not have hurt in the long Second Symphony, but even so, this was, like Chan's concert, a fulfilling Bowl evening. These concerts give hope and reaffirm that life goes on. All acts, no matter the challenge, must be followed.
