New to the series is all new tricks, a new innovated online play, and a new way to advance through the game.
New Tricks
The newest of tricks, not including new "special" tricks. One of these is called the "skitch." To activate this trick, the player must hold up on the controller, to allow the skater to grab onto the bumper of the vehicle. You balance by pressing left or right correspondingly.
Another new trick is the "spine transfer." To do this, you must find two quarter pipes placed back to back. You must use one of the quarter pipes to gain height. When you are in the air, you press the R2 button, to land on the other quarterpipe.
Advancing
To advance in the level, there are certain goals to complete. You do this in carreer mode. The goals start off easy enough, for beginning players. As you advance, the goals get harder as you gain more skill. For a total of 190 goals, this can keep you busy for awhile.
Online Play
To go online with Tony Hawk 4, you need a PlayStation 2, a network adaptor, an internet connection, and Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 4. Other desirable hardware is a memory card, and a USB keyboard.
If you have broadband, you can host a room of up to 8 people. If you only have dial-up, you can host a room up to 3 people, but you can still join any room. The games you can play online with other people are as follows:
Trick Attack: The goal is to get as many points as possible. Whoever has the most points at the end wins.
Graffiti: If you do a trick on an object, that object changes color to your color. If a player does a BIGGER trick on it that is worth more points, they steal that object, or tag, from you. The most tags win!
Combo Mambo: Almost the same as Trick Attack, except the highest ammount of points done in one combo.
King of the Hill: There's a crown out there, somewhere. Follow the arrow on your screen, until you find it. Once you find it, you need to run from the other players. They will always know where you are, as they all have an arrow that points directly to you. To make it fair, you are slowed down, so they can catch you.
Slap: Basically, the goal of the game is to just hit each other. The faster skater will hit, so don't slow down for one second!
