For years — decades! — fans of the original "Tony Hawk's Pro Skater" games have clamored for a remake.

This September, they'll get exactly that in "Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 and 2:" a gorgeous remastering of the original games, bundled into a single package, that's scheduled to arrive on September 4 for Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC.

Its publisher, Activision, promises to retain "all the original levels, pro-skaters, old-school tricks and more" in the new game — a detail that a previous remake of the "THPS" games crucially missed.

Another critical detail: Much of the licensed music from the first two games is also returning, including tracks from bands like Goldfinger and Powerman 5000.

So, what's different?

Aside from the game being far more attractive than its source material, a number of quality-of-life improvements are coming with the remake.

Things like revert, lip tricks, and wall plants — which didn't appear until later entries in the "THPS" series — are all being added in, as well as an elaborate new "Create-A-Park" mode that enables players to not only craft a skate park but to share it online with friends as well.

Check out the first trailer for the game in action right here:
