    Comment addendum: I forgot to mention Big Drop in the script for this video.
    The Big Drop mechanic blows so hard it could push a camel through the eye of a needle. This feature was introduced in THPS2 and discarded thereafter in THPS3, where you'd fall off your board if you landed from a high enough altitude unless you held down the Ollie button. Why Robomodo decided it was such an important feature to bring back is beyond me as it hinders you especially in the THPS3 levels the DLC includes. Tack this onto the myriad of other things wrong with this wet fart of a game.
    Still not as bad as THPS5 though.

    If you come off of transition and are gonna slam....tap both l2 and r2 or l trigger and r trigger together and it will level you out so you dont slam and still keep your combo , its a og trick

    I remember playing this game around the time I heard about pro skater 5 coming out and I was interested in playing Tony Hawk games again. I was no longer excited to play pro skater 5 after playing this game, but the interest for these games stuck and I'd eventually get into THUG Pro

    I remember being in college and either downloading the demo or full out buying this thing when it came out. I was so disappointed. As someone who was still actively playing THPS 4 at some point every week, this felt absolutely nothing like an original Neversoft game. The physics were way off. This may not be the most succinct way to describe them, but the skaters somehow felt both too heavy and too light. The muscle memory players had built up to that point did not serve them while playing the HD game.

    I bought the steam version as soon as it came out and thought it was alright at the time. I do remember the physics being janky, but I think I gave them a pass for trying to recreate the first 2 games. I started with THPS on ps1 and played every Tony Hawk game through American Wasteland. I tried proving grounds and project 8 but could never really get into them like the older games. Neversoft might have been fatigued on making the games but I think fans were Tony Hawk fatigued aswell.

    You missed out on the biggest gimmick this game had to offer. If you had a 3D monitor, you could play this game with 3D glasses. If you grew up playing the old school graphics and then tried it in 3D it was kinda cool. Nvidea stopped putting the drivers out so I can't even play the game like I wish I could. It's fine, those glasses gave you a headache anyway.

  • @MAHIM2000

    Well, the switch version of THPS1+2 doesnt even need internet connection unlike the PC version.
    And with Emulators like Yuzu and Ryujinx, and HD Textures + 60FPS Patch that makes the Switch port closer to the Console and PC version in terms of graphics, THPS1HD doesnt even have THAT reason to be played on Steam Deck or even on a Desktop anymore.
    Great Video btw! Subbed 💕

    Im surprised you didn't mention the big drop mechanic. Square Eye Jak talked about in his review of this game. He made good points about it like why did they bring it into the THPS 3 levels when it was not made for those levels?

      They patched in revert without the need to buy the DLC, on 360 back in the day I used revert all the time without buying DLC. If you look at the questionably legal ways to get the game online the versions that exist are launch day vanilla, base game patched version, and base game + revert edition (thps3 levels with a couple extra chars)

    • @PlasticCogLiquid
      @PlasticCogLiquid 2 місяці тому

      From the way I understood it, they actually re-built THPS from scratch in the Unreal engine for this game. That's why so many small physic things are wrong. Hell, it might be the foundation for THPS 1+2.... They got it right with that one finally, it was Unreal engine too.

    @myyoutubepage199 Рік тому

    the game was not bad, i loved it, i have it for pc .on the new tony 1+2 it has no reason to level up the hangtime cause when you do a grab, he falls very quickly and and you cannot jump as high as the original PSX and the HD version .
    Another thing is the soundtrack is alot better on HD.
    Graphics are ok, you dont need that much on a skating game. Sometimes gameplay is alot better than graphics. I just dont know why your version looks like trash lol. Mine looks nothing like that, are you on XBOX? You also have to learn how to play it , If you have trouble in downhill jam you obviously never played the original game or mastered it , I can score 2million point combos on the original psx and def can score the same points on this one.
