It’s extreme sports in general, not just games. Remember how big stuff like the X games used to be? All over ESPN. Highlights galore... couldn’t tell you the last time I saw extreme sports on ESPN now. It for some reason feels like then being extremely popular is a relic of the past.
Honestly me and my friends when we don’t feel like playing anything like Rainbow or Apex just hop on Skate 3, we say we need more skate games and the like
I’m jealous.. on ps5/4 and can’t even play any of the “skate” classics :/ I loved skate 2.. idk why it seemed like right in the middle of when they actually cared still about skate games/xtreme sports and didn’t half ass it..
I remember playing Tony Hawks pro skater when I was little, actually so little that I didn't even understand the controls, but god, the game gives me nostalgia and it sadness me that I lost the manual for the game because I literally have no idea what to do or what each button does. Sure, I could go and trial-and-error it out somehow, but idk man, I don't wanna do that
Steep was absolutely fantastic, a super nice change of pace from the market of a whole bunch of shooters. Still holds up super well 5 years later. The devs that did Steep are releasing a promising new game called Riders Republic, focused on like BMXing and stuff, you should check it out! Excited to see if they'll ever announce a Steep 2 at some point.
It's interesting how you didn't mention THPS 1+2 at all, I know it's not technically a new game but it is certainly a big step in the right direction for those games!
He literally said THPS is one of the sickest games on planet earth and I quote “don’t @ me” at 0:50 what are you talking about 🤣🤣 lol besides that,, being that I was around for all Tony hawks pro skater/ THUG 1 and 2, let’s be honest underground was one of the best story lines especially at the time, American waste land as well. They were goated because of the era of viva la bam, jackass, wild boys. It featured way more pro skaters and famous idols of the time, customization of boards, clothes, being able to get off your deck, ride bikes, vandalize, open world maps. It was way ahead of its time. Thugger 1/2 were peak highlights of my childhood and many others I’m sure would agree..
I've been thinking about extreme sports games lately as it was my fav genre growing up. It's sad that they don't make as much as they used to, and the few titles that occasionally come up I make sure to buy them to support the genre. Ever since I saw the trailer for Riders Republic I've been thinking of this game, it looks promising and so much fun. Btw I don't see many mentioning MTX MotoTrax but it was my fav motocross game with the right balance between career mode and freestyle motocross. Loved it!
I love these kind of chaotic games, they make you feel for the sport and it’s fun with some having level editors and music editors, to the chaotic nature with intense blur from speed, scale and size. My first sports game ever was MX vs ATV Untamed, and I grew up with it until 2016 when my Xbox 360 gave out and its hard drive failed. That game had some great memories of my friends playing tag on split screen and being chaotic in the game. The mood of the game, from the title screen, map design, music choice, and the gameplay is not something you find anymore. THQ and Rainbow Studios barely exist anymore and I wish they came back to revive the extreme sports genre of games. I loved both companies and it gave me some fun memories. Side note; I still have access to the game due to my Xbox, but it’s not the same that I don’t have the same friends when I was 5 years old
Fuck bro, we need them to bring these games back, i know they recently came out with a remastered Tony Hawk 1 and 2, but we also need a remastered Aggressive Inline, Dave Mirra’s Pro BMX 1 and 2, Matt Hoffman’s Pro BMX 1 and 2 , and of course can’t forget one of my favorites, Kelly Slater’s Pro Surfer.
Nice summary! Games have similarities to "fashion", there are trends were the industry try make games that earn them money. So if you are close to normal regarding being social, you probably try to follow what were supposed to be trendy. I grew up in a small town close to both sea and mountains, so often very delayed what was popular activities. For some odd reason I were the first in my neighborhood to have downhill skies, my family were "just" regular workers. Were for me to go outside winter time and start moving up the mountain and ski down between trees and cliffs and rocks. I see myself as a nerd, but instead of playing such computer games a lot I trained martial arts and did some "extreme sports", but mostly not what were "in" at a time.
The 90s, wiped out of existence! Couldn't have called modern culture precisely better myself. More a fan of the 80s myself. Grew up in both decades. Mention the 80s to someone 20 now...... You were born in the 1800s. Lol.
Awesome vid, bro! Sad that you've had such bad experience in skiing, I personally just love this sport. Hope you will give it another shot in future :)
2 words for you… RIDERS REPUBLIC. The biggest extreme sports game since THPS, it takes everything great about Steep and cranks it to 11 💯💯 Also, on a side note, I’ve never played a Far Cry that I didn’t LOVE, FC6 is just right around the corner too 😎
There was also the arcade machines xtreme sports era that lead up to the PS2 and home console era mid to late 90s, such as Top Skater 1+2, Aqua Jet, Wave Runner, Alpine Racer, etc
I was born in 1980 and I remember playing 720, paperboy, California games and I surfing game I think was called hang ten. I was too young to have a console of my own but I would always watch my brother play on his commoder 64 and beg him to let me have a turn. Lol
I always wondered if Jet Set Radio could be considered as one since it's technically based on wheel-based street sports peppered with iconic elements that distinguished the series.
HOLY FUCK MX VS ATV UNLEASHED GOT ME NOSTALGIC. you unlocked a deep memory of MX vs. ATV and Sly Cooper. Time splitters and Time splitters 2. The demo discs 😭
I mean 2021 and 2022 are great years for extreme sports games, Riders Republic, Shredders (both amazing games), new Session updates. In a few years we maybe we get skate 4 too, pretty decent for a couple of years if you ask me.
Been binge watching your videos. I think they are incredible. Could you talk about Seven Days to Die one day. If you’ve never played it I highly recommend you do. It’s loads of fun
If my asian parents do let me buy a new game I think the new games are gonna be Lego and a skateboarding game because to be honest from one look at skate in 2014 just went "Bruh why couldn't I been born earlier." an the sad truth is most the games I actually wanna play are around 2000 - 2012.
Did you really say halo released too many games in a short span of time? Nah they released a few games that each failed heavily in either multiplayer or campaign, and is now hopefully gonna be better
How can you make a video about extreme sports game dying and not mention Riders Republic? It feels like this video should be called "The Rise And Fall of Skateboarding Games" not Extreme sports game. If you haven't checked Riders Republic out I really think you should take a look at it, it's like Steep but on steroids. Anyway I think you made a great video I just felt like you missed the direction a bit.
So the reason there was such a large emphasis on skateboarding games is because skateboarding games were by far the most popular extreme sports games and they helped to make the entire genre what it was. Thanks for the feedback though! Riders republic looks really cool, i’m just scared that it’s a Ubisoft game. I’m not a huge fan of Ubisoft personally.
Its really nice that you like this kind of games, but its not necesary toy say shit about other games that kids enjoy this days, it makes you soun like and angry grandpa
Lol SNOW? Steep is a much better game. SNOW also has a bunch of bugs and you are forced to go through the tutorial no skips. As well as making much of the game based on micro transactions later on.
This video really makes you FEEL like you care about sports
This video is just full of the exaggerated swagger of a 90s Radical teen!!!

@@brandonalexander2519 i play it on pc using RPCS3 (PS3 emulator)
THUG 2, SSX3 , and Skate 2 are all masterpieces

@@brandonalexander2519 Read my comment again. I'm talking about THPS 1+2 (2020), not the OG games.
wasn't there a new Tony Hawk Pro Skater release... ? id consider that triple A
Yeah, it was a remake. It was really good and many people liked it
Indeed but I'm waiting to get it on Steam.

SsX 2012 reeboot and skate 2 and 3 are amazing games
The sound track of Tony hawk was sooooo good love all those bands and listen to them still
If Skate 4 is as good as Skate 3 and you can do Primo Slides and stuff, my life is complete.
What about Tony Hawk Pro Skater 1+2? That got rave reviews last year.
Fuck bro, we need them to bring these games back, i know they recently came out with a remastered Tony Hawk 1 and 2, but we also need a remastered Aggressive Inline, Dave Mirra’s Pro BMX 1 and 2, Matt Hoffman’s Pro BMX 1 and 2 , and of course can’t forget one of my favorites, Kelly Slater’s Pro Surfer.

You completely glossed over the Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1+2 Remake, my 90's brain completely ate that up, I'm sure you'd love it~
Riders Republic is so good 👍
Awesome vid, bro! Sad that you've had such bad experience in skiing, I personally just love this sport. Hope you will give it another shot in future :)
SSX (the original GameCube version) is cool af.
The original SSX is only on the PS2, the next 3 sequels are on the GameCube tho.
im a kid in this day and age but ssx is my child hood i played a lot of it on the ps3
2 words for you… RIDERS REPUBLIC. The biggest extreme sports game since THPS, it takes everything great about Steep and cranks it to 11 💯💯 Also, on a side note, I’ve never played a Far Cry that I didn’t LOVE, FC6 is just right around the corner too 😎
Average ubisoft fanboy💀
Rr is way worse than steep lmao
Steep was way better tbh
My Comcast became a robot UA-camr... I’m confused
There was also the arcade machines xtreme sports era that lead up to the PS2 and home console era mid to late 90s, such as Top Skater 1+2, Aqua Jet, Wave Runner, Alpine Racer, etc
ahhh i remember playing allot extremes sport game on ps2 good times.
Could you make a video on how and why tremulous got to it's current state
Plz
Downhill Dominations was also underrated (not sure if it fits here)
I just want extreme sports games where it's whacky and good music like JSRF, Tony Hawk, and SSX, Amped, etc.
Bro please make a video on LEGO Universe. That game touched my childhood and really left a mark on me.
I was born in 1980 and I remember playing 720, paperboy, California games and I surfing game I think was called hang ten. I was too young to have a console of my own but I would always watch my brother play on his commoder 64 and beg him to let me have a turn. Lol

I miss those games so much I go back to my ps2 and play old Tony hawks and ssx games and freestyle
Do you have a copy of that flow chart? Was really curious about it.
Skate is (surprisingly) pretty popular with the younger gen, but nothing really from before that.
Guys look up riders republic it’s a coming out extreme sports game that looks really good
HOLY FUCK MX VS ATV UNLEASHED GOT ME NOSTALGIC. you unlocked a deep memory of MX vs. ATV and Sly Cooper. Time splitters and Time splitters 2. The demo discs 😭
me and all my friends have the fondest memories of the atv games lol
Yes! Playing ATV Offroad Fury 2 on the PS2 with my brother was amazing back in the day. I really gotta find my PS2 now...
i instantly click the video when i saw Mx vs Atv Untamed on the Thumbnail
Already know this video will be a classic
Just like your comment
I mean 2021 and 2022 are great years for extreme sports games, Riders Republic, Shredders (both amazing games), new Session updates. In a few years we maybe we get skate 4 too, pretty decent for a couple of years if you ask me.
Rr aint that much of amazing steep is way better
Ah yes SSX3. I remember going to movie gallery and stealing me a copy of that game. Good times good times...
Dave mirra mx was my fav
The game i remember playing was 1080 for the N64. Even if i wasn't very good at it, it was still fun.
still waiting for skate 4 to release xD
SSX Tricky was pure gold
Does anyone remember Aggressive Inline? I was skate boarder, but that game and it's soundtrack was cool!
Steep was pretty cool, but this new game Riders Republic is incredible. Definitely check it out.
Steep is way better lmao

We need a good bmx game. Like yesterday. Or at least remaster BMX XXX, or Dave Mirra.

the only reason I remember them is because of their god tier music.
the THUG soundtrack be hitting different
Man all I want is an ssx3 Remaster, I was kinda disappointed on the ps3 ssx game
Sxx 3 was my childhood. That damn abomination that dare shares it's name with ssx 3 has no right being a squeal to sxx3

@@robokast Oh I didnt see that
SHEEESH
Kinda funny, why do you keep calling them popular games, when no one played them?
The reason they are dead is because they never sold.
