Does it hold up?

>superior gameplay

hows Skater XL? some of the animations and videos i'm seeing are starting to look really good, but its literally only supported by mods and actual development is really really slow. plus Session is early access soon so it might wipe the floor with XL.

He did nothing wrong

THUG is still the best Tony Hawk game of all time.

FUCK YOU ERIC FUCK YOU

Main thing THUG1/2 reminded me is that Neversoft had some good cartoon animators on staff. Shit moved real fluid.

I wish THUG could be remastered or a remake using the Skate gameplay

It's my favorite, tied with american waste land.

...

As someone who backed Session and also played Skater XL, I'd honestly say wait for Session. XL definitely has an active modding scene, but the actual meat'n'potatoes gameplay tries far too hard to be as "realistic" as possible, and in the end it just feels stiff and unnatural. Session definitely has some quirks to iron out (grinds are pretty sticky and weird as of the last dev build, still no grabs, manuals are stiff, etc), but it managed to deliver a solid proof of concept in alpha.

Then again, neither one is v1.0, so it's anybody's race.

When does session come out

According to the Steam page, Early Access is on September 17th, then 6-12 months until v1.0, but I'm going to hazard a guess that it's going to be at least 13 months if Skater XL's devs actually push their game out of EA before Q2 2020.

Skate ruined games

you mean by being superior?

Skate were the only good things along with fantasy sports games in the genre. Everything else is a fucking piece of shit

No, old games are shit and skating is for faggots. Play a real sport like Football.

SO HERE I AM

>Fantasy sports
Medieval Elf Skating when?

No, old games are shit and football is for faggots. Play a real sport like ULTIMATE Football.

I'm still annoyed at EA not only for no Skate4, but also not jumping on the remaster bandwagon of doing a Skate1-3 compilation for PS4/Xbone/PC.

Technically, Xbone has backwards compatibility for the Skate games. But yeah, PC ports would be nice, even if they required Origin.

>Technically, Xbone has backwards compatibility for the Skate games
Only 1 and 3.

Yes, it's just as shitty now as it was then.

Which sucks, since 2 is the best one. There was also that major cocktease EA did before an E3 a couple years ago where they put back up all the Skate multiplayer servers.....and announced nothing.

im installing it now, but that memory still blows the winds out of my sails.

when I see this game, it doesnt make me want to go back and play it exactly
what I want is to go back to the time in my life when I was playing it
playing it reminds me of those times, but then I look around at my modern shit life and get depressed

he literally did everything wrong

I liked how he literally lost his head in his last appearance in THUG 2.

Mullen > Hawk

I declare that Eric Sparrow is the greatest villain in video games.

1 and 2 inspired me to pick up skateboarding. Then I dropped it because I realized I sucked at it.

>try to ollie
>dont go five feet into the air
0/10 catch me never doing this shit again

yes, I'd buy a remake

>Can't miraculously get back up and start skating again after trying to trick off a 5 story building
What's the fucking point?

That would be the THPS series for me, and despite only being able to ollie and do a kickflip about 80% of the time, it just made me appreciate the Skate series more when those eventually came out.

Didn't get leave him in Russia or something?

Australia, but he made it to Baltimore in time for Proving Ground.

No, that was the player character. But you got out anyway and returned to the suburbs from the beginning.

what the fuck is with the censor bar?

I remember in one of my playthroughs your character punches him and snatches the tape instead of doing the final mission. Why was that?

people kept calling it furry, so its to show my distaste for degeneracy.

thats the bonus ending, i dont remember what triggers it

>punches him and snatches the tape

That was at the end, the tape in question was the original footage of the helicopter gap in Hawaii.

>Eric has a different VA because his original VA is instead voicing the player character
Fucking weird.

Why would you choose this style for a tony hawk ripoff? Who is this supposed to appeal to? The over saturation is so fucking bright I almost can't see what's happening.

not a rip-off, just heavily inspired

Based

Literally everything happening in those webms besides the slow motion gun shit is just Tony Hawk. It's a ripoff

Tony Hawk lore is deep

>THPG Protagonist is actually Venom Eric, who was a better person after representing Eric publicly getting his head removed from Nigel's rectum
>THPG Eric, the one who had his head removed from Nigel's rectum in private, is the real Eric, but his voice had been irrevocably been changed thanks to the whole experience

That didn't really respond to the question

I WROTE THE WORDS TO THIS SONG ON THE BACK OF A PHOTOGRAPH

IT GOES A LITTLE SOMETHING LIKE THIS

It’s so much deeper than you could possibly imagine

I just could not get into THUG 2 it was too much like Jackass except not funny.

i'm glad other people remember this song

damn i really feel sorry for the guy, skating was like his life. now hes like fifty and falling off a board would like kill him

nah he's still shredding and doing well that's just a meme.

age is catching up to him but he's still a legend
youtube.com/watch?v=8Zx7fFFfPis

yo, what game? this looks rad

ok thats cool. is he going to the olympics?
isnt skateboarding an olympic sport now?

Yeah, that's the good shit. Completely forgot about this song.

>That video where he does his last 900

Now if only he can convince a publisher to grab together the former EA Black Box devs to make Tony Hawk SKATE.

wave break

How many of you started skating because of these games?

Attached: 1551827944767.jpg (443x455, 96K)

New game plus

Either NG+ or you played on the easiest difficulty.

I was skating before it but I definitely did it more often

It was shit then and is still shit now, so yeah I guess it held up pretty well actually.

4 is better desu

What's your favorite THUG song?
