Tony Hawk Pro Skater 1-2 HD. Summer 2012 $15
- Thread starter chickdigger802
- Start date
But you would had paid for the same thing ten years ago for fifty bucks?
I don't see why everyone is complaining about local multiplayer being absent from this game, if you have a friend come over, just pass the controller back and forth (everytime you fall, pass the controller to the next person).
I mean don't get me wrong, I would love to see local multiplayer in this, but if one of my buddies is actually that desperate to want to play spilt-screen, I would just pop in THPS4 or THPS1

It was part of the original from over a decade ago. There's no reason they couldn't have kept it for the rerelease.

soo many goods memories
It's more exciting being able to compete against each other at the same time. I would probably do the same thing, but I think everyone wanted multiplayer splitscreen in HD.

Because not everything in multiplayer is horse where you can switch back and forth?
No... It makes the game actually fun. There's no reason to ever do vert until they did revert because you would get so much lower in points by vert since you couldn't combo but you could on ground with manual but no revert.
Yep, Revert was great.
Uh, the point is it's not even the same thing.
It's watered-down shit; for some inane reason they're going back to the Tony Hawk 2 period without reverts, which is ludicrous, because as said up there -- it makes vert pointless.
There are barely any levels and they're all super old ones. Tony Hawk 3 levels are supposedly coming as DLC...
Honestly, the most important thing for me was Create-A-Park. That added so much replay value and fun to the game, but it's become apparent that this is a barebones nostalgia cash-grab rather than a real effort.
I'll pass.
All the old ones are backwards-compatible on 360, so I'll just have to hunt those down sometime.

Are we even certain this game is actually rendering in 1080p?
Apparently the revert will be back, but only in the THPS3 DLC levels that are arriving a month after the game launches.

Don't know actually. But Banjo Kazooie, Tooie, and Perfect Dark all being N64-era ports and being 1080p spoiled me, I'd expect a game that was on the N64 to also be running in 1080p now.
Banjo & PD were straight up-res'd ports, this is a total remake with all new graphics engine etc. Not really the same situation.

Uhhh... that's not true. At all.
Perfect Dark isn't a res'd up port, it has new textures aswell, plus 60 FPS, 1080p and Better looking AA. I think banjo was the quick and dirty port.

Is this 60fps?
Yeah, Banjo maybe, but PDXBLA? Same thing this game is going for. Overhauled everything.
edit: Joanna and Elvis Model on 360 versus N64 version
or the N64 Farsight versus XBLA's.

Both the games are leaving the original level geometry intact.
So wait, they are bringing back levels from part 3 as DLC for this game? And only three levels to boot?! Wow. They're fucking up this release by doing it this way in my opinion.
They should just release this game and leave it as it is, then later on release THPSHD "Part 2", containing ALL the levels from TH3 and TH4.
Big mistake on Activision's part. I don't want just 3 levels from part 3 redone in HD, I want all of them dammit!

Damn, no spllit-screen means they just lost my $15. Can't wait for it to be DLC...

I thought it gave the series a breathe of fresh air. Level design on the other hand...

Oh, no splitscreen? Yeah, no, I'm out and so are at least three friends.
No.
While it's a shame, I can understand why they didn't recreate the Create-a-Park mode for this budget, digital release. That would have required more work than what was probably budgeted for this nostalgia-driven cash-in.
But no split-screen? C'mon, son. The lack of local multiplayer options in games is one thing that has really hurt this gen, in my eyes. Whether its exclusion is due to engine limitations or a perceived lack of interest, splitscreen multiplayer's untimely demise really grinds my gears.
And yeah, it's pretty clear that this is a half-baked cash grab. Activision ain't getting my money this time.

They didn't have the budget to create a new viewport on the render call. Too much work.

Junior, please.
100% agree. The addition of manuals was great because they legitimately let you continue combos in real life and were conspicuously absent from the first game.
Reverts don't do anything except change you from switch to regular. All they are in the game is an excuse to let you continue your combo when you shouldn't really be able to.

Since when we're the Tony Hawk games based on realism? They're built around the basic tenants of skateboarding, but after that they routiney defy the laws of physics and realism entirely to make the game more fun.
Why was the revert added? Because it made the game more fun.
I honestly have a hard time believing these people were definitely buying the game in the first place, or they'll buy it anyway when it actually comes out.

What's the point of that pic? The bad character model?

Ehm, any trick (grinds, slides, stalls, flips, etc) to revert count as a different trick in real life, they´re a modifier, is not just changing your stance, it adds difficulty to the trick.

Looks like they're including HD versions of the PSone models.

That's exactly what I was thinking, but the way the pic was posted it seemed like he was insinuating that was just how the game looked,
It's too 'floaty'. Why is the moon physics cheat turned on? One reason I still love THPS2 so much is it was still semi-grounded in reality... You couldn't ollie thirty feet down the road and over 2 cars like it looks like you can in this remake.
Also I don't like the visual style at all. Way too boring.

I seriously think there's a chunk of GAF that goes into prerelease threads looking for something, anything, so they can say 'preorder cancelled' or the equivalent.

the physics look basically how i remember them from 2 in this video. this pleases me.
