ABOUT INTERGALACTIC TRANSFER STATION

Intergalactic Transfer Station will allow you to become an ultimate master of interplanetary traffic in space. Think about hundreds of passengers daily coming from different planets from all corners of the universe, changing their spaceships nowhere else but in your station. This means you’ll have to expand your Intergalactic Transfer Hub constantly for it to be able to receive more and more passengers. Add new platforms, build and remodel shops, improve your facilities, and upgrade machines. Then you can arrange corridors, shops, and waiting areas to your exact needs – all to optimize your station’s design, and as a result, increase the flow of passengers. And that’s just the beginning, as managing your surroundings is only part of your role. The other is supervising the wide variety of different passengers that will be visiting. You’ll have to take care of different alien species, in all manner of ways, like building hotels for chlorine-breathing beings or restaurants for creatures fond of eating lava. The happier the passengers are, the more of them will come, and this means a larger profit and higher taxes. Just don’t forget about the station’s defenses, because anything from alien viruses that cause dangerous diseases to asteroids could alter your ambitious plans.

INTERGALACTIC TRANSFER STATION – MAIN FEATURES

  • Manage the docking of spaceships – build new docking platforms and fill them with all the necessary facilities. From shops, waiting areas, and vending machines to toilets, hotels, and even plants.
  • Take care of passengers – remember, different alien species expect different conditions. Some require chlorine to breathe, others eat only lava, and not all of them are friendly. So if your surveillance cameras spot a gun, don’t hesitate to immediately eliminate the creature carrying it.
  • Expand your transfer hub – this place is your turf, your work, your life, so make sure anybody visiting can clearly see that. Add new platforms, upgrade the facilities, take care of the way everything looks, and carefully plan the corridors’ routes while keeping in mind they should result in the most effective flow for the passengers.
  • Control the economy in both micro and macro scale – more passengers mean more profit, more profit means more investments, and more investments mean higher taxes that all land in your pocket. And you like to have full pockets, don’t you?
  • Expect the unexpected – space is vast and every possible thread out there can’t always be identified. From alien viruses to a head-on collision with a speeding asteroid, here you can be sure only one thing – no two days will be the same, and not a single one will pass without a security breach that requires your immediate assistance.

Intergalactic Transfer Station is currently under development. The game will launch on Steam in Q3, 2021.

TONY HAWK’S PRO SKATER 1 AND 2 ADDS STAR-STUDDED LIST OF PRO SKATERS TO REMASTER

Mark Your Calendar: Fans That Pre-Order Digitally Will Get Access to the Warehouse Demo on August 14 — Ahead of the Game’s Official Launch!

New Talent Represents the Evolution of Culture and Diversity in Skateboarding Today

SANTA MONICA, Calif. – June 23, 2020 — The genre-defining Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater franchise made its mark on videogames in the ‘90s touting the top names in skateboarding at the time. With the launch of Tony Hawk’s™ Pro Skater™ 1 and 2 on September 4, 2020, the legacy continues with some of the most preeminent pro skaters in the world today — Nyjah Huston, Leo Baker, Leticia Bufoni, Aori Nishimura, Lizzie Armanto, Shane O’Neill, Riley Hawk and Tyshawn Jones — joining the lineup of OGs in the remaster.

“Modern-day skateboarding originated from a generation of skaters who grew up playing the original Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater games,” said Michelle Bresaw, Vice President of Product Management and Marketing at Activision. “The world-class pro skaters we’re adding to this remaster took the tricks and combos from the videogame and made them possible in real life. We’re proud that the remaster will represent the skate culture landscape today with a diverse roster of skaters that will appeal to any gamer.”

While some of the new pros have appeared in past Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater games, Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 and 2will mark the first time that they will grind, ollie and kickflip in the first two games from the franchise. What’s more, Activision, a wholly owned subsidiary of Activision Blizzard, Inc., (NASDAQ: ATVI) announced today that this A-list of new talent will bring their own signature tricks, in full HD glory, to all the levels and gameplay features that fans love about the games. Here’s some cool gameplay of the new skaters in action in the game.

Fans can pre-order Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 and 2 now for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 4 Pro, the family of Xbox One devices from Microsoft, including the Xbox One X, and on PC through the Epic platform. Those that pre-order the game digitally will get access to the Warehouse Demo starting on August 14, 2020, ahead of the game’s official launch.

Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 and 2 remasters the first two games in the Tony Hawk franchise into one awesome package. The game will blend all the original levels, old-school tricks and more that gamers remember with beautifully recreated levels to provide fans with stunning gameplay experiences. The game will also integrate fan-favorite features from games across the entire original franchise, not just the first two games, including revert, lip tricks, wall plants and original multiplayer game modes, both online and for local couch play. Create-A-Park, featuring a robust editor to enable new ways of customization, and Create-A-Skater modes are also back with the remaster! Players will be able to share parks online with friends and outfit skaters with customization options. 

The base version of Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 and 2 will be available worldwide for the suggested retail price in the U.S. of $39.99. A digital deluxe version that includes unique content and in-game gear will be available for the suggested retail price of $49.99. For the ultimate fan, a collector’s edition will be available for the suggested retail price of $99.99 in the U.S., complete with the digital deluxe content and a limited-run Birdhouse deck.
