I’m hoping there will be a few people who really push it to its limits, creating things like the Southbank Skate space in London, and other real-world or fictional skating spots that are both interesting and good. Speaking of the create-a-park levels, which Vicarious Visions added a few of their own there as well, it is all a bit rough early on. There wasn’t going to be anything else now, was it? Yet, in-game levels like Skate Park and Burnside can run somewhere between 30-60 FPS. This is most notable in player-created versions of the “Braille Skate house,” which is something from a YouTube channel that focused on skating. Player created levels for consoles might have a slight issue if there is a bit of grass placed and a lot of detail elsewhere. The performance of the game in other areas, such as official game levels and player-created levels varies. It doesn’t impact the skating side, but it is noticeable by even the most unknowing of observers. The only minor gripe I have with it is a slight frame drop when customizing characters and buying clothes, boards, and such. The entire game or collection is stunning, looking at some of the early levels from THPS 1 you can see 20-years and four console generations in action. Even some levels that I (and others) didn’t like are enjoyable in some small part. This is all without mentioning that the levels have been polished. Yet in addition, there are some skaters that only grew up playing the games, a metric ton of challenges, a bigger create-a-skater variety, and several additions of older games like reverts. Yes, the game pulls the physics, some of the characters, and the levels from the games before it. Both in the sense that they are the proving ground there is still a market for these games, and that they are bringing something fresh to the table that wasn’t available before. Yet through all of that, Vicarious Visions (the ones behind the handheld version) pulled off a mammoth task.įor the last few days, I’ve thought about what Taylor said, “ Are the Tony Hawk Remasters Testing the Waters ?” Yes.

Not least of which didn’t help, it was to follow the disaster that was Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 5, a game marred with so much derision from fans that they were glad Activision lost their license with that mess.

So remaking it and its predecessor is like running into a minefield naked with a sled full of excited puppies attached to your nipples, it was a suicide mission. Pro Skater 2 itself is one of the highest-rated games, not only according to Metacritic, but IGN, Polygon, and every ambitious publication that wants to upset someone for ranking one of the Zelda games lower.

Pro Skater 2 alone added the advent of manual-ing, a thing so ingrained in the makeup for the series I don’t know how the first game took off. However, after spending more time swiping left and right while grinding more than a gay man on a dating app, Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1+2 is not a 1-for-1 remake, remaster, or however you want to chop it up. So returning to Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 and 2, 21 and 20-years later respectively, there might be a bit of nostalgia baked into the perspective. I don’t think I know a single person that’s now in their 20s-30s that didn’t play at least one of the games. That, and if you could get two and a half-million points, that just gets you in the gang right away. You could like pop, rock, metal, or punk, as long as you like smashing your face off a railing and inventing new swear words so your parents didn’t realize you were in the gang. It doesn’t matter if you have blue hair, green hair, or yellow shoes.
It doesn’t matter if you are black, or white. It doesn’t matter how weird or wonderful you are, you are accepted.īack in the early 2000s, the Tony Hawk‘s series gripped the youth that is now either in their 30s or reaching towards the fabled age. So the only accepting communities, though small they might have been, were in music, gaming, and skating.
Back before broadband was as readily available, but just after the advent of dial-up, you didn’t have far-reaching communities in hobbies when you were young as you do today. So, if you’re looking for a “non-biased” review you can go look for someone else, because you are barking up the wrong tree. Is it a bird, is it a man, is it a bird-man doing Christ Air? There are a million different ways I could have started this, and none of them would have suggested I’m new to the series.
