i think you guys are trippin on nostalgia a bit. have you tried playing a thps after playing skate? it just seems so obsolete with skater xl and session on the horizon/already here. however, i was a nerd who tried to play thps like a sim, so maybe im just not the target market. but the whole thing feels lazy imo. but if you guys are stoked, then get your combos
Just in the last 2-3 years I think I've re-played thps2 three times, thps4, thps3 and thug1 once all the way through. thps1 feels dated, but the rest are still a lot of fun for me. But yeah, it's less about the skating and more about addictive game play, which in turn is non-existent in session and skater xl at least for now.
Looks like they're trying to do it right this time, which is promising. Not really feeling the look of the game, but doesn't really matter. As long as they stay true to the engine, it should be fun
