Title: New THPS.
Post by: cornholio on March 08, 2012, 12:12:30 AM
I never really got into the EA Skate games but I did play the fuck outta the first couple Tony Hawks Pro Skater games. Im hyped they brought back the levels from the first 2 games. Nostalgia.

Skate is good, no doubt, but I got mad love for THPS and I'm hyped on this. I dunno, it might just be the nostalgia, all those memories of me being a teenager playing THPS for hours on end, but I will always have love for THPS games.

Gaaah.. why do I bother coming to this place...

You know, one does not have to exclude the other. It is not a versus battle, just another game. And I kill at every THPS up to Underground, plus all Skate�s. Plus, stick controls were perfected in Amped. A snowboard game which sometimes had a horrible physics engine but still, great game nontheless. And no, I?ve never been on a snowboard in my life. The costs assosiated (the bro?s and worst of all, the damn thing is attatched to your feet) scare me.

Not bashing on the gameplay or the series vs the EA ones

but, if this is HD, no thank you, kinda remind of the THPS2 graphic quality on the first playstation

i wish youtube worked in my work's computer :( unfortunatley i cant see the video but hey ill chime in anyways
Up to THUG (with the also noteably enjoyable american wasteland) i bought all of and loved the TH games. THPS1 and 2 were the only two games i evver played so much and so hard etc that i eventually got blisters and bleeding thumbs, thats nostalgia for you :)

ea skate is cool and all and thony hawk games have gone down hill but...actually i dont even care, i dont have a ps3 or xbox 360

Post by: landCow on March 08, 2012, 06:41:31 AM
the realism obsession in video games bores me. things like cod with real weapons and damage bore me, just as skate with real physics bores me. skate was fun at first but it wore of quick. i never bought 2 or 3. the controls were challenging but if i wanted that level of challenge i would go skate for real. i dont want to spend hours in a video game perfecting a trick i could do for real if i gave it enough time and practice. give me 720 inward heel mute grabs to casper slide in THPS any day.

Post by: cornholio on March 08, 2012, 08:54:26 AM
Yeah dude Im not trying to say one if better than the other, i just was never really good at SKATE, and as far a button mashing goes, I dunno about you but when i play THPS i dont try to do 720 kickflip  judo airs I try to keep it realistic. I used to skate Carlsbad gap in the second game and just do all the tricks that have actually been done. If I wanted to pay a video game where you start out super shitty and have to perfect your tricks, I would say fuck the video game and just go skate outside haha.

THPS 4 was the best hands down. Just the levels, story, and simplicity of it all was great. They got all crazy when they got into the THUG series.

I forgot that EA folded the SKATE series cause Chris Cole and Koston were in SKATE and there would be no way that they could be in THPS.

Post by: Cockaigne on March 08, 2012, 04:01:35 PM
Still play thps2 for n64 since i dont own an x-box or anything but an n64. I usually japanese through it in an hour (per character) cause since a long time i have no memory card for it. Every time the game's turned off you just gotta start over again. I can clear the first level in 1 run. After that i take an endless free skate session at school2. I try to skate as realistically as possible, and hate when in 2 playermode people use manuals to connect everything.

So i dont see any reason to buy this game.

TRILL masters can get every tape in a single run on every level in a single playthrough

Holla at the kid!

+I'm such a THPS OG that I literally sat in free skate mode and tried every single "SPECIAL" command with every skater in order to figure them out since I didn't have access to the internet.

The only one I didn't learn with that technique was the burntwist, as I had no idea that a special handplant would even exist.

I also didn't know that you could spin flips with the analog stick on N64 until years after I first played it.

GO HAM!

What a hunk of shit. Game looks terrible. Tricks look bad.

Maybe it is because I like real skateboarding.. but doing an Ollie from manual over a moving car after doing a 30,000 foot manual and doing flat ground Ollies to building roof tops is terrible.

THPS4 was my favorite out of the pro skater series, with THUG being the overall best. It all went slowly downhill from there (project 8 was good tho) and once skate came out that shit was obselete. Thps games are what got me into skating in the first place too. They were good when they were all we had but nah fam skate completely shits on thps. This is coming from a lifelong gamer and skateboarder. Skate is like nba 2k, thps is like nba jam (more or less)

I think we can all pretty much agree that once the Tony Hawk games started having a story about "coming up" it started to get real lame.  I remember playing a bit of American Wastland...jeeze...so cheesy. 

I liked THPS 1, 2, 3, and 4 because they kept it arcade-y.  No plot, just mindless fun.

This looks so fucking awesome.  Skate was cool but the Tony Hawk games will always be the best.  I used to go to School II when it was a bonus level in THUG with Andrew Reynolds and I would do all of his signature tricks down the Leap Of Faith.  Frontside flip, fakie flip, variel heel, nollie inward heel... good times.

I forgot that EA folded the SKATE series cause Chris Cole and Koston were in SKATE and there would be no way that they could be in THPS.

Huh? Where'd you hear this? I still remember the Skate ad with Koston saying Skate was the best skateboarding game he's been in, like a slap to the face for THPS. I thought Skate folded cuz all the dudes went to make the new SSX and EA didn't see enough profit in another one.

I loved THPS2 more than life itself at that age, but I might have put more hours into Skate 3 than all other games I've played in my entire life. I still sit around with my friends getting stoned and playing it multiple nights a week, and I still love the shit out of it.

Post by: Baron von Bullshit on March 14, 2012, 08:28:30 PM
No Skate 4. Skate 3 was meant to be the last, thats why Black Box included such a massive creative aspect to the game. Everything they did was meant to bolster the user community so the die hard fans would keep creating and keep the game evolving. They released tons of DLC packs for it too.  Not tons, but four or five.

THPS 2 was by far the best Tony Hawk game. It was just enough realism and just enough arcade for nearly perfect game play. You had manuals with out it being super arcadey I spent years and years and years playing that game. Fond memories. After that everything was so contrived I stopped really liking it as much. It slipped further and further into the arcadey narrative and crazy shit and I stopped caring. 2, 4 and THUG were solid, everything else...eh.

Skate on the other hand was fucking inspiring. I'd wake up and play skate for an hour or so, use the replays to analyze tricks and then go try them. Seems weird, but fuck, it worked. Great way to waste hours drunk or stoned, or to get ideas to actually get out there and do stuff.

grind session had the right mindset.  Popping out of rail tricks looked good, had Ed in there, music was tight, and skaters leaned into banks / any sort of slope.  I'm pretty sure if they kept that going as a franchise it would have turned out tight.

can't wait for skate 4
[close]

The producers says there will be no Skate 4
[close]

Which is a huge bummer, I want another skate 3 with a few things fixed like not being able to just ride into another part of the city. I don't want to have to teleport there
[close]

they separated the city into sections so the framerate would be smoother and you could set spot markers further away without having to load
[close]

wtf? aside from some of the skateparks you can still go through the whole city without teleporting. you always could

not in skate 3. theres 3 districts and you cant skate to them

if you did get into the EA skate games you would understand there's no reason to be hyped for this

This guy.  4 posts and he hands your dick to you on a plate.  Now that's playing with power.

No Skate 4. Skate 3 was meant to be the last, thats why Black Box included such a massive creative aspect to the game. Everything they did was meant to bolster the user community so the die hard fans would keep creating and keep the game evolving. They released tons of DLC packs for it too.?  Not tons, but four or five.

THPS 2 was by far the best Tony Hawk game. It was just enough realism and just enough arcade for nearly perfect game play. You had manuals with out it being super arcadey I spent years and years and years playing that game. Fond memories. After that everything was so contrived I stopped really liking it as much. It slipped further and further into the arcadey narrative and crazy shit and I stopped caring. 2, 4 and THUG were solid, everything else...eh.

Skate on the other hand was fucking inspiring. I'd wake up and play skate for an hour or so, use the replays to analyze tricks and then go try them. Seems weird, but fuck, it worked. Great way to waste hours drunk or stoned, or to get ideas to actually get out there and do stuff.

Also included to show the end of the series was the "Jumping the Shark" challenge, which I thought was pretty damn hilarious

I always wondered what the significance of that was, it seemed like it had to be in the game for a reason, but that one went straight over my head. I also didn't know they weren't making more until I read this thread though.

one of my cousins is married to a guy who works for ea, i asked him and he says skate 1 and 2 sold well, skate 3 not so much so they  pulled the plug for good. he said it doesnt even matter to them what  reviews the games get, it only comes down to sales
