Why did skating games die?

skating was never alive

skating only became popular because of MTV

once television died no one cared anymore

You got it almost right.
Tony Hawk killed its own market, but Skate was still very popular and sold consistently well. EA wasn't satisfied though as it wasn't selling crazy numbers like Madden and Fifa and they didn't have a monetization system like the Ultimate Team cards, so they pulled the plug.

Zoomers can't into skating

not true its still pretty popular
its just longboarding mostly now

If only I was born 5 years earlier. I feel like I started too late, just as Skateboard was on it's way out instead of starting in it's heyday

Casual gamers don't like to grind

So in which order do I play the older skating games,including non tony hawk games?Let's even add snowboarding games to the mix too.Which are your favourites?

tito was fucking based

they're not actually skating, theyre just using the hobby as a personality placemarker. They're not actually dedicated because skating doesn't leads any were in tems of success besides a select few. You and I used to do it for self improvement and the feeling of accomplishment. Kids these days only care about clout.

THPS2 is 10/10
You can try some of the later games like american wasteland that were ok, but I feel like reverts made combos too easy
Cant remember which SSX game I played but it was alright to

I was in huntington beach last week and only saw 1 guy on a long board, last decade they were everywhere.

According to certain Youtube channel I watch, there are people in comments saying that they have gotten into skating because of said channel.
Channel averages around 100k views, which I understand is nothing in 2019, but its still something

all the pro-skater tony hawk games and then THAW and THUG. Nothing else really matters after that

as for snowboarding 1080 Snowboarding and the SSX games

blackninja?

skate 2 is objectively the best skating game

As technology advanced it made games easier to make and lowered the required skill level needed to enter the games industry. This resulted in games like this, that require more effort, end up turning out bad because nobody is used to having to actually put effort in any more

Skating isn't dead. It's just not mainstream anymore. Although this could change after the 2020 Olympics.

Skating itself will never die but it's literally too hardcore for the youth of today. Kids these days are gigantic pussies who would get "PTSD" at the mere thought of riding off a curb. It's much easier to blend in if you just put on a Thrasher hoodie and ride your long board to the vape store like every other poser.
Also, video games aren't allowed to be just "fun" anymore. Games must be emotional, artistic, political, competitive, gay, etc.

This. Everyone thinking its dead is because they never had an actual insight into the actual skating community. Skate videos are more popular than ever with the internet, streetwear is a direct result of the merger of hip hop and skate fashion.
This comment is so ignorant of anything about skating. Dunning kruger effect in full force ITT

Nah dude I know how little I know about the skating community but come on you obviously don't know shit and have never hung out with skaters now. Playing tony hawk pro skater doesn't mean you're into skating

>Let's even add snowboarding games to the mix
Despite form what you hear on Yea Forums SSX deadly descents is a pretty fun game if you're all about racing and creating/executing/finding the best line. Its like a microcosm of speeding, all racing games are essentially puzzles followed by speedruns. blew my mind when I reached that epiphany.

girls started skating so any one you even has a mild interest in skating does it IRL now. the people that used to play skating games was like kids who didn't want to get hurt but liked the "culture" but now girls are involved in mass they willing to pose/get bruised IRL>

I saw a teenager with a skateboard at the coffee shop yesterday, he seemed too tall to skateboard and it looked awkward when he rolled away out of the parking lot. Some kind of image thing I guess.

Nigger do you know how long tony hawk is?

a variety of reasons

>there is no demand for it as there is little room for innovation in a game about one singular thing - the only real quality that could improve is graphics
>most of the people who like skating can do it whenever, and would rather actually skate than watch a videogame character do it
>skating culture fell off with the punk-consumer culture a while back, now a large portion of the people who skateboard only do it as a means of transportation
>the people who were the primary target of these games were young skaters who have now grown up out of skating, and the young generation of today doesn't include skating in their primary hobbies

tl;dr: shit changes, mayn

Like x1

THUG2 was the franchise peak. Too bad Bam trips faggots' autisms.

>poser who cant do an ollie

what is this absolute bullshit

THPS through to THUG were the only games that actually innovated. New mechanics in each game kept it fresh enough to ignore the dating graphics and general roughness of how the games looked. Five games in and all they could add beyond that were just gimmicky or bloated mechanics that didn't add in to the fundamental gameplay. So they started to age and look less and less appealing over time.

Also, this was the moment Neversoft made their next big hit with Guitar Hero and Activision diverted their resources into making that. Even though the Tony Hawk games were still good for another one or two entries, they'd really run out of ideas, passion, funding, and player interest by that point. Which is fine; five great games is the best a studio could ask for.

Then, the nail in the already closed coffin was Skate. Next gen, totally new gameplay, active online community, etc. Problem was, as above user pointed out, skating/Jackass/MTV coverage as a whole petered out, and Skate was a weirdly technical game that not a lot of people got into.

So you had one dead and tired series, and another alienating and niche series. Tony Hawks was over-saturated and out of gripping new ideas, and Skate was just...weird.

Doesn't help that both had viciously short production cycles that made them ugly and buggy as hell either.

Think back to how Tony Hawk games and skating culture began to die around 2005-2006. This was when the Early Zoomer kid culture began - coincidence?

It’s literally going to be an Olympic sport jackass

King of the Road video game when?

What do you mean by "punk-consumer?"

The level design isn't as good, mostly. For every Skatopia you have Bondi Beach; a level that won't like you skate on 50% of it.

You can finish entire levels in a single combo. It doesn't really add any useful mechanics, just gimicky stuff like projectiles and tagging. They have those stupid vehicle characters. None of the other features were updated; character and park creation is copy pasted from the previous one.

And I personally just didn't like the whole tone and story as much, even though I loved Viva La Bam at the time.

It's still good, only slightly below THUG.

Well, yeah. I can't think of a single other action game in all of existence that has such low stakes. Everyone who has played that game has an spot in their personal hell where Eric lives, and that's fucking shockingly good for a series about skating.

Maybe it's because Activision forced Neversoft to create a brand new Tony Hawk game every single year so they could wring as much money out of the cash cow as possible. And therefore, inevitably, the developers couldn't keep creating amazing games that were significantly different enough and yet also amazing on those sorts of timescales. So people got bored of the games. Then Activision thought they needed to change developer in order to compete with Skate - and maybe Neversoft were fucking bored of being overworked on the same franchise all the time, which would be fair enough. So Activision chose a terrible developer to replace Neversoft - Robomodo - and the subsequent games were shit. So everyone went off Tony Hawk games, because now the games were bad.

Perhaps, yes, there has been a decline in general interest in skateboarding. That's probably a factor. E.g. FIFA is popular because football is popular. NBA 2K19 is popular because the NBA is popular. Madden is popular because the NFL is popular. Etc.

But still, if a great skateboarding game was made today, I reckon people might buy it. But Activision managed to kill the goose that laid the golden egg by trying to suck as much money out of it as possible, in such a cynical manner.

It's yet another story of predatory publishers ruining video games. See also: EA with Star Wars Battlefield and Anthem, Blizzard with Diablo Immortal, etc.

>They have those stupid vehicle characters.Which you can ignore and still progress through the "story". They even control the same mechanically as a skateboard, same can't be said for thug's clunky vehicle missions in vehicle and leafblowers. THUG2 brought back the arcade mode which is an absolute must for this series. THUG1 only has a structured storymode which is garbage for replayability.

So what're the best way to play each of the older tony hawk games?

YOU'RE NOT THE SAME

>essentially fitting in by not "fitting in" to this fabricated square boogyman - american culture thrives on rebellion but when rebellion becomes the status quo it turns into this fetid bucket of crabs and trash that are all trying to escape by going through the bottom of the bucket rather than out the top

It's crazy how well this describes the cultural milieu 13-25 year olds experience today more so than a decade ago. Seems like a big part of internet humor is being fake depressed, or fake crazy, or fake stupid. Kids who actually try to keep their shit in order are the weird ones now. OMG BECKY I LIKE TOTALLY FAILED MY FINAL AND I CRY ALL THE TIME AND IM SUUUPPER DEPRESSED LMAO

In terms of Skating Games

THPS 1-4, THUG 1 and 2, and THAW was good but flawed.
American Sk8land is pretty good if you want to play it on the go.

For non THPS stuff, I reccomend Ollie King if you can find a cabinet

For snowboarding, play any of the SSX games, even the reboot that came out this decade was fun

It's not dead but it's nowhere near as popular in media and culture as it was in the early 2000s. I still skate and a bunch of guys on campus even skate to class. Pro skating is mostly dead tho.

It's not about masculinity, retard.

Skating games fit into a weird part of the market where an indie devloper can't quite deliver the scope for a 3d skating game, but no publisher wants to comit the neccesary resources to such a niche product.

Hopefully a mid-tier devloper nostalgic for skating games will deliver something on the scale of THPS, but something like Skate may be impossible.

Generation lines are obviously blurry. People born in the early 60s are closer to GenX than Baby Boomers but the agreed split is 1964. Someone born in 1963 has little in common with actual boomers born out of WW2 in 1945.

GenY/GenZ split is still disputed. The earliest "zoomers" have only just reached adulthood. While there are early indicators based on teenage behavior it's not yet clear where the actual culture shift is. It'll probably be defined in the late 90s. Expect the line to shift back and forth several times over the next five years.

Parkour is fucking boring

do whatever you want man

People in the 80's would disagree and say they are end-gen-x. Millenials are anyone who grew up/matured in the 00s.

If you don't remember New Years eve, 2000, you aren't a millenial

Parkour is great until you run out of gas and hit concrete hard.

there's definitely a generational blur. being born in 84, my youth was analogue and then the world turned digital as i grew up. so even people just a little younger than me grew up in the internet age and our upbringings and early memories have nothing in common, although i guess i'm technically a millennial. idk.

I've met Tony in person, he's not 6'4, I'm 6'3 and I'm about an inch higher than him, he's actually like 6'2. But yeah, he's still tall as fuck for a skater, height doesn't fuckin matter

Skate 2 was perfect and skate 3 wasn't.

They were different types of games, 3 was more of a 'jump the shark' type deal.

>all of the punk trends died
>now everyone just talks and dresses like a ghetto retard
I was never part of that culture but holy shit I'd trade it for what's trendy today in a heartbeat.

You live in NYC.
You yourself are not the majority of the population, you are just one guy.
Your city is not indicative of how the nation feels, as a majority.

Dude, did you forget that the Midwest and South exist?

They are the reason that we have the Presidenté we have, now. Whether that’s a bad or good thing ain’t part of it.

Skateboarding used to be cool to midwestern weenies, and now it’s streaming.

>Midwest and South exist
Sucks to live in a flyover.

What the first post said, but also Activision and Jackass culture ruined it the same way that Guitar Hero was run into the ground.

Bam Margera killed skateboarding all along,,, it was him....

You missed my point entirely

If you control the flyovers, you control the country
Control the USA, and suddenly the world starts listening to you
Whether they like you or not is not part of it, but [personally] you should try and be liked.

i recently watched bam mageras filmography with some friends it was pretty fucking cool

Skateboarding's big in Japan it's just frowned upon to skate outside of a park.
There's even a couple skateboard manga.

I trap shoot at a nearby park where I live. The park also has a skate park in it. Everytime i go to shoot the skate park has 20 or 30 kids skating. Maybe it's only the midwest where it's alive

please do not shoot those skaterbois

They're mid-later zoomers

this thread is almost as kino as the new joker movie

gamers rise up

Hip hop and nigger culture became the mainstream norm and its literally ALL THE KIDS FUCKING WANT NOW ITS BULLSHIT

>zoomers will never get to experience goth girls

that'll be $2500 plus tip

ME is literally a decade old at this point.

I think the better question is why are tony hawk games not at evo

I'd rather watch that than ultimate

probably too easy to cheese.
THUG has so many glitches to create infinite combos.

Based goldfingerbro

Nah. Best I ever got was a pop shove-it. I was/am a huge pussy who'll worry over the slightest thing(s). Doesn't mesh too well with skating, although it didn't stop me from having fun.

BRRRR, THIS IS LABOR LABOUR

Because there really wasn't a way to evolve the genre that was fun, so it ended up being shit skating games or the same old stale gameplay.

>Not skating empty parks for hours because its fun
Nigger i used to go to parks early as fuck because i hated when parks were full of people hogging the good ramps. An empty park is the best.

The only reason I didn't kill myself in middle school is because a few guys figured out I used to skate and started hanging out with me.
Countless hours skating with them irl and playing Skate 2/3 with them on Live.
Skating was so fucking good for outcast kids. I made so many friends who also had it pretty rough and needed an outlet that wasn't typical sports.
Thanks for bringing back all these memories.

It’s more popular than ever, it just doesn’t have Mtv to make it digestable to spoiled brats looking to blow moms wallet. It is getting fucked by monopolistic practices by shoe companies though.

My mother's son skates, there's a small community in their hometown.
