This platinum is so tedious its actually illegal. I only need the " reach level 100 " trophy to get the Platinum but it's nearly impossible to get that amount of xp without literally completing every challenge in the game and online.
The phone thing reminded me of chasing the Platinum in the original Borderlands which had co-op specific trophies. I had a second controller but no one to play with, so I turned the second controller on and left it idle to play as, basically, a single player. The big problem is that the difficulty is scaled for two players so it becomes incredibly difficult. I did manage to do it and Platinum the game but it was such a massive waste of time and effort.
Love this concept for videos. It's really cool to see more content focusing on this aspect of gaming because it's such a big thing for me yet you don't see many videos about it for whatever reason. Been platinum hunting for years now and this is definitely one of the most difficult I've gone for in a while. I just really couldn't get some of those "get-theres" down at all. I only have bullring left but I've put THPS on the back burner for a bit while I focus on some more forgiving games lol.
I tried to get some of the Get-Theres for days with a bunch of hours per day, but this is ridiculous. I know, platins should be a bit hard, but this is beyond hard, this challenge is just stupid and frustrating and after a while there is no fun anymore, but hate.
@@bencarter123 Yeah School 2 was one I just stayed stuck on for ages. Went back and did multiple 3-4 hour long play sessions just trying to get that one. The length of it is a real bitch.
The fact you're only now realising how broken manual multipliers were must be very nice. I literally did that in every comp, to the point where I would just get like 100k then go eat or something
Just platinum that game some days ago and was glad to see a video of someone else doing it. Very good video. No idea what went through the developers' heads for the Level 100 trophy
Ahhh welcome my fellow .1 percenter! Yea I feel like the devs thought the online was gonna pop off or something so they made it super grindy. Thanks for watching 🙌
I feel like VV had so much more planned for this game. Now that we know thps 3 + 4 was planned they could've had it so your profile and levels transferred over to 3+ 4. Big thanks to Activision for killing them and all future hope of the THPS series coming back though, love that I was only able to play online for 2 years
This game really needed THPS3 in it as well, to justify lvl 100, all the gear and challenges. Also because way less people have played that game and it is just as good. It makes sense not to include Pro Skater 4 as that was the first Tony Hawk game to ditch the 2 minute timer and have missions.
All of those Get There challenges were so incredibly hard but SO rewarding when you finally nail them. That was so much fun for a longtime THPS fan. I didn't even attempt any of the challenges that require a grind though ("grind" as in, "time wasting", not grinding a rail). I've always hated any kind of achievement or unlockable that is nothing but a gigantic time commitment and requires no real skill lol.
How are they rewarding? It’s like rolling a 6 sided dice and trying to land a 6 50 times in a row, that’s what it’s like stringing together the broken game in these combos, nothing is rewarding about them, nice try acting like you’ve done it
@@yhivixx How do you mean the game is broken? I saw someone else saying that too. Saying it's like rolling a dice suggests luck has something to do with it, is that what you're saying?
@@yhivixx WTF are you talking about. There is no randomness to it. It all has to do do with when and what button combination you use. If u want random, play WWE or something...
one obscure tip for the horse trophy, if you are using 2 controllers, have the second controller bail by standing still and holding a tailgrab untill they bail, for some reason it skips the bailing animation, speeds it up by a lot.
Really excited to watch this video! The grind for level 100 alone is insane and I don't have console so i haven't seen what it takes for platinum but there are some insane challenges in this game that are honestly harder than some of the other really grindy things I've done in other games in the past... Played since the first thps all throughout my childhood and this remaster could not be more perfect imo. I've now reached level 100, gotten all the single player challenges done including all tours, and my current goal is to get a top 100 speedrun on every pc leaderboard but some maps are insane. Just made me happy to see a THPS video in my recommended at all so thanks for your effort on this video and I'm about to really enjoy it I can tell!
incredible video, so glad I decided to check it out! Insane that only .1% of people have gotten this plat but that makes sense. Even with the newer challenges they added before shutting down the studio completed I still was only at like level 93 out of 100 with almost 100% of single player challenges complete, it's actually insane! GGs and excited to see what other videos you make because this was quality!
@@CruxalYT 93 with all the challenges?! Thats CRAZY haha. Im pretty sure the .1% is that level 100 grind haha. Thank you for the kind words! More videos soon!
I was one of the lead testers on this, and we had to make sure every trophy was, in fact, achievable. I feel bad for the poor guy who got assigned the hard get-theres. Pretty sure he was the last person to finish his assigned work xD Sadly, the servers got messed up, and with VV being essentially dissolved, there's basically no one at the wheel anymore to fix them :(
This was by far the hardest platinum I’ve ever achieved.The grind to level 100 was maddening. Pair that with those hard Get There’s, no wonder it took me over a year to finish
I’m also part of that .1% of Platinum owners & watching this was such a fun / kind of horrifying experience. Mainly because that when the game first came out & I started playing it, living in California, there were major fires that started to happen around the game’s launch & I was within the danger zone. I grabbed all the consoles I could, including my PS4, & my family took me to a hotel where they let me live for a month & a half (with crappy hotel wifi, mind you). So not only was I doing online college & a fire scaring me into thinking we’d lose our home (we didn’t, thankfully), but the realization of grinding this trophy was such a massive headache. Because I did it legit (except the 10,000 trick, where it’s Create-a-Park) with doing all challenges for all characters’ tours. Even did 10 Million Combo, but it was such a teeth grinder to get it legit, but I got it. But I didn’t know about the New York spot with cheats can work too. Took me 7 months & 2 weeks to get all the trophies, 5 months to just get to 100. Thankfully, when the PS5 version launched with Cross-save, I transferred over the save data & got an instant Platinum for the PS5 version as well as the PS4, which is rightfully deserved for the grind. It’s a fantastic game & this was a great video to bring back such a good / bad memory for me! Congrats on your journey, my dude! ❤🎉
Man...what a crazy story I'm sorry you had to go through all that. Growing up in California myself I also witnessed some crazy fires. Scary stuff, BUT I'm glad you had this game and got the plat! The fact you did the level 100 grind legit is awesome! Keep grinding brotha!
I grinded the hell out of that game right before the last update with the new challenges came up where you can get easily so much more XP without doing that much. Also remember that a couple of pretty hard gaps where buggy and I had to hit them so often. I could have saved myself a minimum of 4 weeks constantly grinding every day the sh** out of it while listening to multiple books on audible. I still dig the feeling after completing the "hard get there's". I literally almost cried after the bull ring and venice beach ones. The feeling after reaching level 100 and getting the platinum was priceless! Friendly greetings from germany and stay healthy!
@Yo Ballert I only know one of them was the "Kicker to Railspan" gap in skate heaven. Please dont start with those cheaters! I remember that someone asked me on psn if i want the "Level 100 trophy" in seconds by just cheating and i was like no man why should i? Never knew that they changed the hard get theres after the last update?! Grüße gehen zurück, kannst auch gerne mal deinen Gamertag hinterlassen, würde mich freuen!
I got this platinum a few years back, and my thoughts are as follows: Screw the level 100 challenge, I had fun doing every single other trophy (including the phone coop ones because it was at least funny to me), that was the first and only time I felt like I was wasting my time
That 10 million challenge is insane, I got very good at the game and couldn’t get passed the 2 million mark. At that point I realized it was almost impossible for me to achieve that challenge and gave up haha I got a lot of challenges completed and a little over half of the players challenges done. It was a nightmare even getting to that point.
Using cheat mods and abusing a player made level? What's the difference between this and a Doom run where you turn on god mode every time things got tough?
bro the 'intersectional' get there gave me so much trouble that even watching you do it brings back painful memories. I have done a lot of harder get theres, but this one, i dont know why, it was impossible to me. My wife was creeped out watching me curse at the tv for hours and hours.
9:00 That cheese strat park is genius and wish I came across it while doing my run because I would have got such a kick out of it. The one I used consisted of a quarter pipe to get off a couple special air tricks and then to do a series of an absurd number of rail hops around the perimeter of the map. It served it's purpose but it was a little buggy as you'd over jump some of the rails and had to restart a few times. The way you used seemed a lot easier.
@@TannerJaye Nah, it was great. It's ridiculous people got mad about it. It's not like this was the only tough trophy in the game, so it's not like you didn't have the skill to complete the others. If they think this is bad, I can't even imagine what they would think of the cheese strat I used to hit level 100.
@@TannerJaye I believe to maximize xp in a run you had to have a certain score, combo and grind and manual times. So someone created a map to do just this in a run that took like 10 seconds. Just played that over and over until 100 was hit. If you really wanted to be cheesy with it you could use a program written to record controller presses, that you could play back and when timed right allowed the game to grind out the levels on it's own. I never went that far to do it, but I thought about it.
For anyone still trying to grind to level 100. If you have done a lot of challenges and done as much as you can, load up a run on Philadelphia. Make sure all game mods are are for the perfect balancing of grinding and manuals. Grind the inside of the fountain and spam buttons for 1 minute, then stop and whatever trick you are on leave it for 30 seconds. With 30 seconds remaining go into a manual and leave it for the remaining time. At the end you should have achieved 300 XP Bonus Score, 150 XP score, 25 XP Grind time and 25 XP Manual time. That is 500 XP in 2 minutes. You could also break up the 1 min Grind combos and find a way to incorporate a lip trick to get 25 XP Lip time. You can go past the 2 minutes anyway if you are still in a trick in overtime
the most time efficient way of doing this is to find a combo that gets to 1mil quickly, like 900s between every planter, and as soon as you hit 1mil end the run. This gives you a little less xp (300 vs 600 for a finished 2 min run) but you can do this 4 or 5 times in 2 mins so the xp yield is higher. Even doing this, it took me quite a few hours to go from 96 to 100.
I've got the platinum in this game but maaan the amount of grind, i just spent 2 whole days doing xp glitch to get from lvl70 to 100 like 14 hours thru those 2 days, it was crazy experience tho
Still grinding now at 97 lvl but all of that force me to complete alot of challenges and go on tours with every single pro skater there then play alot and have hell of fun in multiplayer mode So happy to get the old good days back
Not gonna lie, I did it pretty easily lmao. The hardest part was getting the letters in horse because I had no one to play with and I didn't really want to just use 2 controllers to cheese it.
I struggled on malls get there before I realized you can hold the x button just before landing into a manual to keep your speed. After knowing that they weren’t that bad. School 2, Venice beach, and bullring took me quite a few tries. I had to grind 30 levels and took about 8 hours.
I wanted to get this game platinum, was almost there. But my ex bought me the game so I gave it her back when she dumped me because I didn't want anything of hers in my life.
I recently finally got the platinum trophy of this game, and it took me about a month to get. But I loved the expierience of playing it so much even the struggle of completing all the hard get-there's, and doing the gaps was a blast. Though I made the really stupid mistake by thinking of grinding out all the skaters, completing every single one of their challenges, and even doing a few of the platinum score challenges to get enough XP to make it to level 100, and I didn't even level up once. All-in-all though this game was fantastic and I hope they make a new one someday. (Hopefully make it less aching to get to level 100)
I have the THPS 1+2 platinum. And it was a pain in the ass. Since in my first playthrough I reached level 70, Then my PS4 died and I lost the save game. I started again and finally got to level 100 to get the last trophy. The 900 + 360 Varial McTwist trick is the best thing that helped me do it as fast as possible. Even so, I spent many hours dedicating myself to just that. Also going very well, especially to change a bit and not get too overwhelmed, the 1 Million combo on NY City doing the 900 + grinds in the Park entrance gap, like in this video.
@@TannerJaye Yes, but it's a game that I love and enjoy it so much, the first 50 levels weren't too hard. I admit that the final stretch was... I decided to go up 2 levels a day. Imagine, I only turned on the ps4 to go up 2 levels and turn off until the next day lol
Your video is inspiring me to pick up the game again and go for the plat. I only need 4 more trophies, am like level 70 or 80 I think. Need to do veteran challenges, hard get theres, the horse one, and of course the level 100. Seems doable enough dunno why I stopped so close to the plat lol. Nice vid it was fun!
i remember struggling with the hard get theres until i realised that while manualing u can go faster by holding down the jump button was a game changer.
@@BVZTIII Oh yeah. Throw in the cruise ship level along with all the unlockable characters like Officer Dick, Darth Maul and Wolverine and I'd be sold. I need a PS2 to play the OG THPS3 again.
@@dicloniusgames Officer Dick (modeled by Jack Black) is already part of THPS1+2 though 🙂 Can play the OG THPS3 on either my PC or our Series X using an emulator in both cases 😁
I got this platinum this morning. You inspired me a few months ago when I first saw this video, I grinder the game out until it was just the Got There and One Hundred trophies left. Ended up starting it back up last week and smashed it out. I had to put a Band-Aid on one of my fingers from where it was rubbing on the controller during the constant NYC xp farming sessions 😂
Welcome to the 0.1% mate! That level 100 grind was an absolute grind and a half, exact same route but I wall planted off the fence and came back on the same wall. To keep sanity, I kept a spreadsheet and had it calculate how many times I'd have to restart the run haha... Congrats!
I definitely don't miss the Lvl. 100 grind in order to finally get my Platinum. But it's cool to know I'm part of the 0.1% of players that achieved it.
I rarely ever go for platinum trophies in games unless I really like the game. But getting career level 100 was just too much and still the last thing I need to do
I’m going for it a 3rd time. Got all achievements on Xbox, all trophies on PS4 and now doing PS5. The grind at the end is always so tedious. Always get to about level 70 before I have to start grinding levels out.
@@adambarnes4018 I just love the games so much I never get bored with them. I have muscle memory from playing so much as a kid so I think it’s probably a bit easier for me
I don't know how or why, but this video was suggested to me, and then from there I've seen a few of your other videos suggested. They are so well done, they show the absolute challenge that some platinums can be, and the enjoyment you get along the way. I thought "this guy makes great content, I'm going to subscribe" and it shocked me to see you "only" have 13k subs, it feels like you should have a much, much higher amount. I'm glad to be a small help towards your way to that number I thought you should already have, and may you get there quickly, you deserve it! Keep up the awesome work, my guy!
@@TannerJaye You deserve it, and thank you :) I can't wait to see more from you, but I'm in an enviable position right now, I got the rest of your back catalogue sitting as new content for me to watch whilst I wait to see what you do next.
I tried to speed run this plat. It took me about 21 hours. But, i had quite a bit more experience playing THPS games than the average player. The level 100 grind can be kind of cheesed in a few hours (about 6) but it is very tedious and boring.
Why did you do the local multiplayer ones on your phone...? Wouldn't it work just the same one player 1 as player 2? If the player mattered, couldn't you change which one had the controller anyway?
@@TannerJaye Right, but nothing stopped you from playing on player 1 with the controller? If player 1 scored the high scores, it would still count as being in multiplayer right? Isn't there also a way to switch controllers/players?
@@Haywa11 you can't start the multiplayer match at all until 2 controllers are connected. And the way it works is the phone has to be player 1 my main account that's why I had to use the phone to actually play on
Alternatively, you can also enjoy the game and try to do as many challenges as possible. Some of the challenges actually have a nice 5k exp reward and are not really hard. Those challenges pushed me from lvl 60-ish to level 91, so my grind to reach 100 wasn't too too bad.
By the time I only had the level 100 trophy left, I'd already gotten pretty much everything I wanted out of the game so I just wanted to get to 100 as efficiently as possible, they really expected people to go for all the challenges but 0.1% doesn't lie
What I ended up doing is I found someone who made a script that would allow you to record inputs over remote play and then just loop them via PC remote play. I left my playstation ok for days. The level 100 grind is ridiculous.
That really was a fun video! I saw it, and i remembered, how much of a big fan i was of THPS 1-4. So I bought the game and wanted to plat it myself (I never was an achievementhunter, I think I plated 5-7 Games in my whole life^^) Some of the Hard To Gets were REALLY frustrating! But the Level 100 is easy if you have a PC. With "Remote Play" and the "PS4 Macro" you can let the PC play the same macro over and over again (I think it was 1 Million in one combo für the 300XP - End Session - Start new Session)...So you could just let the PC grind points while you were sleeping...It was my last achievement and i let it run for 2 nights or something like this... Bingo Bango! Platinum! What a ride this was!
i know exactly how you had to feel, im currently still trying, after ~5 months, to get every single challenge that is in the game, at least as much as i can since the multiplayer servers for pc are apparently shutdown, its been already like 70 hours and honestly the grind is just horrible
Found ur channel today and watched like 3 videos today. They are aj great but i have one suggestion Can u add trophy counter in the videos to see how many there are and how many u have got yet? Thanks man loving ur videos
I’ve never been a fan of skating games but you still managed to make this game seem interesting, love the content keep it up! What game are you going for next?
Thank you for watching I appreciate that! I'm not exactly sure which game is next I kind of just play whatever sounds fun haha. I have like a huge backlog I wanna go through before the new games come out
@@TannerJaye I personally love rpgs and open world games the best, games like ratchet and clank rift apart and ghost of Tsushima are my best examples. Those are both phenomenal games that I would recommend.
You should’ve seen how hard level 100 was on launch. That million point trick you used gave you like a third of what you get now before there was a patch lol
I'm at lvl 82 without ever doing any flatland. Never used the perfect grind settings or anything like that. Haven't done any of the 2 player trophies yet, didn't realise you can do on split screen, thought is was for online play. I have a second controller (it died, playing this game of course) so can get these done now. Some of the get there's are really challenging but got them done. The long manual from the roof through the tunnel and the long manual in Philly were the toughest. I think I've done all the combos now. Haven't done all the secret scores. Some of them are like 18 mil etc. If I do flatland at the end of my run I could do them easily though. Anyway, love the game, loved the original!
@@TannerJaye it was my favorite game growing up, played it on ps2 and on ipod touch in the school bus, but honestly skate 3 ruined it for me 😅 it's hard going back to thps controls after skate 3
If you ever again need 2nd controller and you don’t want to play on phone, you can just remote play on phone your 2nd account and login with controller on main account. After just press ps button to take control and you can start game and play with controller
I've done it on the 4 and now working towards the 5. Forgot how tedious it is when you get to level 90+ and have done all the career mode and majority of challenges
You can upload your ps4 save from the main menu in thps and then download it on the ps5 version and it’ll pop the trophies for you. Should save you some time/sanity. You can make a cloud save for the ps5 version beforehand just in case and revert back after.
@@d1n6bat nah sod that dude. What's the point in playing it?. Just seems a lazy way to get more trophies without doing anything in my opinion. I've since platinumed again and had much more fun doing it properly than just cross saving. Fair play if anyone wants to do it like that but not for me I'm afraid
This platinum is so tedious its actually illegal. I only need the " reach level 100 " trophy to get the Platinum but it's nearly impossible to get that amount of xp without literally completing every challenge in the game and online.

Thanks for the PTSD man. Well done. Took me weeks to get level 100 before the patches when the the experience gained was still minimal
HAHAH I commend you! Im glad someone else understands the pain
Since you like horrors may I suggest RE8. RPGs maybe South Park or something. Both are palate cleansers after THPS
@@tooleas Im def gonna be playing RE8 when all that new DLC comes out for sureee. South Park is also hilarious so that could be fun
@@tooleas RE8 Isn't that bad until mercenaries.... mercenaries... I'm already getting flashbacks thinking about it
That part with the Peter Parker face on the bull was insanely hilarious.
Haha, this gave me flashbacks to getting all the hard get there’s for the plat myself. Good job! Not an easy one this (fun though)
This one was really fun for sure! Thank you! Another fellow .1 percenter
What’s the map name for the one he got 15 mil on plsssss tell me
I need answers too lol all the maps I try are patched
I wish I could like this once for every hour of effort you put into this. Nice work
haha Thank You!
I grinded the hell out of that game right before the last update with the new challenges came up where you can get easily so much more XP without doing that much. Also remember that a couple of pretty hard gaps where buggy and I had to hit them so often. I could have saved myself a minimum of 4 weeks constantly grinding every day the sh** out of it while listening to multiple books on audible. I still dig the feeling after completing the "hard get there's". I literally almost cried after the bull ring and venice beach ones. The feeling after reaching level 100 and getting the platinum was priceless! Friendly greetings from germany and stay healthy!
Awesome! Bullring was so tough haha. Nice to meet you, you as well!
@Yo Ballert I only know one of them was the "Kicker to Railspan" gap in skate heaven. Please dont start with those cheaters! I remember that someone asked me on psn if i want the "Level 100 trophy" in seconds by just cheating and i was like no man why should i? Never knew that they changed the hard get theres after the last update?! Grüße gehen zurück, kannst auch gerne mal deinen Gamertag hinterlassen, würde mich freuen!
Respect to you man. Not only do you have to invest a lot of time but you also have to be really good at the game. Congrats you’re a G
Thanks dude 👊🏻😎
I got this platinum a few years back, and my thoughts are as follows:
Screw the level 100 challenge, I had fun doing every single other trophy (including the phone coop ones because it was at least funny to me), that was the first and only time I felt like I was wasting my time
That 10 million challenge is insane, I got very good at the game and couldn’t get passed the 2 million mark. At that point I realized it was almost impossible for me to achieve that challenge and gave up haha I got a lot of challenges completed and a little over half of the players challenges done. It was a nightmare even getting to that point.
haha yea its not easy!
Love the content as someone who plays thps myself level 100 is pure pain
Thank you so much! Yea that grind is nuts, Idk why they made it so grindy haha
I just checked out your music! Super sick stuff!
@@TannerJaye thank you so much! Yea I personally play it everyday, maybe we could play it some time online? Would be great!
I appreciate your hard work man, very grindy platinum indeed. Keep it up brother great content 👌🏻.
Yo thanks brotha! Appreciate the support
Using cheat mods and abusing a player made level? What's the difference between this and a Doom run where you turn on god mode every time things got tough?
Well, why do the achievements allow it then, huh?
bro this content is better then half the stuff on TH-cam. You gained a sub :)
Thank you! Appreciate that 🙌🏻
Thought about doing this platinum a bit ago, might have to return to it after watching your video on it!
Do it! You got this. Thank you for watching 🙌🏻
I have every trophy except the level 100, realised how much of a grind that last one would be and just decided I couldn't be arsed.
bro the 'intersectional' get there gave me so much trouble that even watching you do it brings back painful memories. I have done a lot of harder get theres, but this one, i dont know why, it was impossible to me. My wife was creeped out watching me curse at the tv for hours and hours.
Hope they remake underground 1&2 those were my favorite
9:00 That cheese strat park is genius and wish I came across it while doing my run because I would have got such a kick out of it. The one I used consisted of a quarter pipe to get off a couple special air tricks and then to do a series of an absurd number of rail hops around the perimeter of the map. It served it's purpose but it was a little buggy as you'd over jump some of the rails and had to restart a few times. The way you used seemed a lot easier.
Im glad you see how its fun! Some people got real mad at me for doing this for some reason haha. I thought it was funny
@@TannerJaye Nah, it was great. It's ridiculous people got mad about it. It's not like this was the only tough trophy in the game, so it's not like you didn't have the skill to complete the others.
If they think this is bad, I can't even imagine what they would think of the cheese strat I used to hit level 100.
@@iLL_WiLL_ exactly haha. What did you do for 100
@@TannerJaye I believe to maximize xp in a run you had to have a certain score, combo and grind and manual times. So someone created a map to do just this in a run that took like 10 seconds. Just played that over and over until 100 was hit.
If you really wanted to be cheesy with it you could use a program written to record controller presses, that you could play back and when timed right allowed the game to grind out the levels on it's own.
I never went that far to do it, but I thought about it.
@@iLL_WiLL_ oh dang that's awesome. It's pretty cool what the community comes up with
For anyone still trying to grind to level 100. If you have done a lot of challenges and done as much as you can, load up a run on Philadelphia. Make sure all game mods are are for the perfect balancing of grinding and manuals. Grind the inside of the fountain and spam buttons for 1 minute, then stop and whatever trick you are on leave it for 30 seconds. With 30 seconds remaining go into a manual and leave it for the remaining time. At the end you should have achieved 300 XP Bonus Score, 150 XP score, 25 XP Grind time and 25 XP Manual time. That is 500 XP in 2 minutes. You could also break up the 1 min Grind combos and find a way to incorporate a lip trick to get 25 XP Lip time. You can go past the 2 minutes anyway if you are still in a trick in overtime
the most time efficient way of doing this is to find a combo that gets to 1mil quickly, like 900s between every planter, and as soon as you hit 1mil end the run. This gives you a little less xp (300 vs 600 for a finished 2 min run) but you can do this 4 or 5 times in 2 mins so the xp yield is higher. Even doing this, it took me quite a few hours to go from 96 to 100.
I've got the platinum in this game but maaan the amount of grind, i just spent 2 whole days doing xp glitch to get from lvl70 to 100 like 14 hours thru those 2 days, it was crazy experience tho
Congrats haha it's a crazy grind
Really love how active you are in your comment section, fantastic.
Thank you! I try and reply as much as I can haha
Only person to document there journey I appreciate it
Still grinding now at 97 lvl but all of that force me to complete alot of challenges and go on tours with every single pro skater there then play alot and have hell of fun in multiplayer mode
So happy to get the old good days back
The game is so much fun
Not gonna lie, I did it pretty easily lmao. The hardest part was getting the letters in horse because I had no one to play with and I didn't really want to just use 2 controllers to cheese it.
Currently 2 trophies away from platinum.. those trophies being the hard get there's.. and level 100, im at level 69
The grind is real
Stars aligned at 16:47 when they played Suicidal Tendencies by Cyco Vision whilst you were questioning life itself. Game dev magic.
I got Level 101 just playing online and doing the challenges. Didn't take nearly as long as expected.
Why did you do the Gap Master before Hard Get Theres? It seems to be better to do the Hard Get Theres to knock some of the gaps out.
To learn the gaps
I loved getting this plat until the level 100. Took me soooo long and I didn't feel joy when finally getting it
I struggled on malls get there before I realized you can hold the x button just before landing into a manual to keep your speed. After knowing that they weren’t that bad. School 2, Venice beach, and bullring took me quite a few tries. I had to grind 30 levels and took about 8 hours.
Pretty solid!!
I wanted to get this game platinum, was almost there. But my ex bought me the game so I gave it her back when she dumped me because I didn't want anything of hers in my life.
I recently finally got the platinum trophy of this game, and it took me about a month to get. But I loved the expierience of playing it so much even the struggle of completing all the hard get-there's, and doing the gaps was a blast. Though I made the really stupid mistake by thinking of grinding out all the skaters, completing every single one of their challenges, and even doing a few of the platinum score challenges to get enough XP to make it to level 100, and I didn't even level up once. All-in-all though this game was fantastic and I hope they make a new one someday. (Hopefully make it less aching to get to level 100)
Yea! This game is a blast. I REALLY hope we can get more games in the future
I have the THPS 1+2 platinum. And it was a pain in the ass. Since in my first playthrough I reached level 70, Then my PS4 died and I lost the save game. I started again and finally got to level 100 to get the last trophy.
The 900 + 360 Varial McTwist trick is the best thing that helped me do it as fast as possible. Even so, I spent many hours dedicating myself to just that.
Also going very well, especially to change a bit and not get too overwhelmed, the 1 Million combo on NY City doing the 900 + grinds in the Park entrance gap, like in this video.
Damn man! You had to start over? Crazy
@@TannerJaye
Yes, but it's a game that I love and enjoy it so much, the first 50 levels weren't too hard. I admit that the final stretch was... I decided to go up 2 levels a day. Imagine, I only turned on the ps4 to go up 2 levels and turn off until the next day lol
Just curious, on the crate a park, which public park did you use to get that 10 million score? If you don’t mind me asking
Your video is inspiring me to pick up the game again and go for the plat. I only need 4 more trophies, am like level 70 or 80 I think. Need to do veteran challenges, hard get theres, the horse one, and of course the level 100. Seems doable enough dunno why I stopped so close to the plat lol. Nice vid it was fun!
Awesome! You can do it good luck 🙌🏻 thanks for watching
@@TannerJaye Thinkin Im gonna as soon as I wrap up Ratchet and Clank 1, so we'll see how it goes this weekend. Bless up man thanks 🙏
i remember struggling with the hard get theres until i realised that while manualing u can go faster by holding down the jump button was a game changer.
For sure a game changer. I thought everyone did that I didn't realize it wasn't well known
This makes me want to see get THPS3 remade with the cruise ship level included.
Yes! Big Yes! THPS3 is my favourite of the old games and if that'd be part of this game, the remake would be absolute perfection.
@@BVZTIII Oh yeah. Throw in the cruise ship level along with all the unlockable characters like Officer Dick, Darth Maul and Wolverine and I'd be sold. I need a PS2 to play the OG THPS3 again.
@@dicloniusgames Officer Dick (modeled by Jack Black) is already part of THPS1+2 though 🙂
Can play the OG THPS3 on either my PC or our Series X using an emulator in both cases 😁
dude that guide is amazing but wich map did you used to do the 10mil combo?
It's way quicker to make par on the speedruns. Warehouse, Hangar and Mall are easy to make par with if you're semi decent at the game.
I got this platinum this morning. You inspired me a few months ago when I first saw this video, I grinder the game out until it was just the Got There and One Hundred trophies left. Ended up starting it back up last week and smashed it out. I had to put a Band-Aid on one of my fingers from where it was rubbing on the controller during the constant NYC xp farming sessions 😂
Hahah the level 100 grind is real! Congratulations man 🙌🏻
Apologies if this has already been asked and answered but what is the create a park called that you used to get the 10mil score please?
I did this grind on the xbox when it came out. Now I've recently bought it on Steam.... here we go again...
Welcome to the 0.1% mate! That level 100 grind was an absolute grind and a half, exact same route but I wall planted off the fence and came back on the same wall. To keep sanity, I kept a spreadsheet and had it calculate how many times I'd have to restart the run haha... Congrats!
Hahah thanks man! It's an honor. Ah yea I should've done that wall plant too. My fingers were on fire after all this
I definitely don't miss the Lvl. 100 grind in order to finally get my Platinum.
But it's cool to know I'm part of the 0.1% of players that achieved it.
Hell yea! Welcome my fellow .1 percenter
I rarely ever go for platinum trophies in games unless I really like the game. But getting career level 100 was just too much and still the last thing I need to do
It's such a huge grind I feel you
I feel like I discovered a hidden gem of a channel I've been binge watching all your videos and I love them
Haha! Thank you for watching! Glad you found the channel
Welcome to the 0.1 club! One of my proudest platinums for sure.
Yes! Thank you glad to be apart of it haha
How do you unlock the trick slots? I'm still stuck at five Ive never unlocked any of them and I only need like 3 more trophies for the platinum
I love how challenging this game was
I’m going for it a 3rd time. Got all achievements on Xbox, all trophies on PS4 and now doing PS5. The grind at the end is always so tedious. Always get to about level 70 before I have to start grinding levels out.
You absolute savage lol I just got the plat today, never again
@@adambarnes4018 I just love the games so much I never get bored with them. I have muscle memory from playing so much as a kid so I think it’s probably a bit easier for me
Man that tobey scream made my day, I love the original Spiderman trilogy, maybe a bit too much.
hahah glad you liked that! I was cracking up editing it. The OG spidey trilogy is the best.
Which created park was that for the 10 million points
I went for the plat exactly like this then got to the bullring “get there” and decided Tony can poke it 😂
I don't know how or why, but this video was suggested to me, and then from there I've seen a few of your other videos suggested. They are so well done, they show the absolute challenge that some platinums can be, and the enjoyment you get along the way. I thought "this guy makes great content, I'm going to subscribe" and it shocked me to see you "only" have 13k subs, it feels like you should have a much, much higher amount. I'm glad to be a small help towards your way to that number I thought you should already have, and may you get there quickly, you deserve it! Keep up the awesome work, my guy!
Yo! Thank you so much this comment means a lot! I'm glad you enjoy the videos thank you for watching and welcome to the community 💪🏻
@@TannerJaye You deserve it, and thank you :) I can't wait to see more from you, but I'm in an enviable position right now, I got the rest of your back catalogue sitting as new content for me to watch whilst I wait to see what you do next.
@@radiocaf awesome! Haha def more vids coming soon. It'll be a mix of some classic fun games and new releases
Where are you playing that the trophies look like that? Is that ps5? I dropped gaming a lilttle bit after this came out
Still think the alien should get a hoverboard
I just binged all of your videos, please keep ‘em coming!!!
Thank you for watching! New vid is coming on Wednesday
Loving the videos man!
Thank you so much!
I tried to speed run this plat. It took me about 21 hours. But, i had quite a bit more experience playing THPS games than the average player. The level 100 grind can be kind of cheesed in a few hours (about 6) but it is very tedious and boring.
How did you cheese it?
Why did you do the local multiplayer ones on your phone...? Wouldn't it work just the same one player 1 as player 2? If the player mattered, couldn't you change which one had the controller anyway?
You need to have 2 controllers I only have 1 ps5 controller so my phone acted as the second
@@TannerJaye Right, but nothing stopped you from playing on player 1 with the controller? If player 1 scored the high scores, it would still count as being in multiplayer right? Isn't there also a way to switch controllers/players?
@@Haywa11 you can't start the multiplayer match at all until 2 controllers are connected. And the way it works is the phone has to be player 1 my main account that's why I had to use the phone to actually play on
@@TannerJaye aww alright! Thanks and loved it!
Alternatively, you can also enjoy the game and try to do as many challenges as possible. Some of the challenges actually have a nice 5k exp reward and are not really hard.
Those challenges pushed me from lvl 60-ish to level 91, so my grind to reach 100 wasn't too too bad.
By the time I only had the level 100 trophy left, I'd already gotten pretty much everything I wanted out of the game so I just wanted to get to 100 as efficiently as possible, they really expected people to go for all the challenges but 0.1% doesn't lie
What’s the name of the 10 mil custom map? Asking for a friend who’s struggling
What I ended up doing is I found someone who made a script that would allow you to record inputs over remote play and then just loop them via PC remote play. I left my playstation ok for days. The level 100 grind is ridiculous.
That really was a fun video! I saw it, and i remembered, how much of a big fan i was of THPS 1-4.
So I bought the game and wanted to plat it myself (I never was an achievementhunter, I think I plated 5-7 Games in my whole life^^)
Some of the Hard To Gets were REALLY frustrating! But the Level 100 is easy if you have a PC.
With "Remote Play" and the "PS4 Macro" you can let the PC play the same macro over and over again (I think it was 1 Million in one combo für the 300XP - End Session - Start new Session)...So you could just let the PC grind points while you were sleeping...It was my last achievement and i let it run for 2 nights or something like this...
Bingo Bango! Platinum! What a ride this was!
Hahah awesome! Congrats 👏
The Downhill Jam hard "get there" has eaten hours of my time, It's the last one I need from THPS 1 and I just can't get there
It took me so long. What helped was actually lowering my stats for the manual part. My stats were maxed and it made me fly off the ramp every time
At level 97 and still on grind did the servers go down on thps 1+2
@TannerJaye do you have any tips for getting this games platinum
I can't believe you only have over 5 k subs you deserve so much more
🙌🏻🙌🏻
i know exactly how you had to feel, im currently still trying, after ~5 months, to get every single challenge that is in the game, at least as much as i can since the multiplayer servers for pc are apparently shutdown, its been already like 70 hours and honestly the grind is just horrible
I've been grinding for this Plat Trophy like Tony Hawk
Super underrated channel!! You’ll be popular soon, just keep on working at it!!
wow thank you so much that means a lot! I will keep trying to improve and do my best!
Found ur channel today and watched like 3 videos today.
They are aj great but i have one suggestion
Can u add trophy counter in the videos to see how many there are and how many u have got yet?
Thanks man loving ur videos
Thanks for watching man! I've gotten that suggestion before I just like to keep the videos clean looking without too much overlay
@@TannerJaye well ur videos are awesome either way ❤️
I’ve never been a fan of skating games but you still managed to make this game seem interesting, love the content keep it up! What game are you going for next?
Thank you for watching I appreciate that! I'm not exactly sure which game is next I kind of just play whatever sounds fun haha. I have like a huge backlog I wanna go through before the new games come out
I can say my favorite games are RPGs,horror and shooters so something along those lines
@@TannerJaye I personally love rpgs and open world games the best, games like ratchet and clank rift apart and ghost of Tsushima are my best examples. Those are both phenomenal games that I would recommend.
@@axcidis3474 OH yeaaa Both those games are on my list for sure! I loved ratchet and clank growing up
@@TannerJaye Same, it was the first video game series I ever played as a kid, good times for sure
You should’ve seen how hard level 100 was on launch. That million point trick you used gave you like a third of what you get now before there was a patch lol
I've heard. I can't even imagine
I'm at lvl 82 without ever doing any flatland. Never used the perfect grind settings or anything like that. Haven't done any of the 2 player trophies yet, didn't realise you can do on split screen, thought is was for online play. I have a second controller (it died, playing this game of course) so can get these done now. Some of the get there's are really challenging but got them done. The long manual from the roof through the tunnel and the long manual in Philly were the toughest. I think I've done all the combos now. Haven't done all the secret scores. Some of them are like 18 mil etc. If I do flatland at the end of my run I could do them easily though. Anyway, love the game, loved the original!
What map did you use for the 10 million combo?
The grind to level 100 gave me blisters in my left thumb, we should sign a petition to let tony hawk himself grind to level 100 on live stream
Thats what Im saying! He needs to UNDERSTAND the pain lol
@@TannerJaye it was my favorite game growing up, played it on ps2 and on ipod touch in the school bus, but honestly skate 3 ruined it for me 😅 it's hard going back to thps controls after skate 3
@@Korelie same when skate came out I played so much with my friends and then we'd go out skateboarding thinking we can do all those tricks haha
What was the name of that custom skate park you grinded trophies on?
I don't remember. I do remember I searched like "10 million trophy or 10 million combo"
Bandana Banana hard get there and the level grind in New York were by far the worst. The Roswell hard get there was also a pain.
I think they changed the Roswell get there before I played because I heard it used to be harder
Felt Like rewatching 😂 still grindy as i remember it
If you ever again need 2nd controller and you don’t want to play on phone, you can just remote play on phone your 2nd account and login with controller on main account. After just press ps button to take control and you can start game and play with controller
I've done it on the 4 and now working towards the 5. Forgot how tedious it is when you get to level 90+ and have done all the career mode and majority of challenges
Yea I guess doing all the challenges doesn't even get you to level 100 haha
You can upload your ps4 save from the main menu in thps and then download it on the ps5 version and it’ll pop the trophies for you. Should save you some time/sanity. You can make a cloud save for the ps5 version beforehand just in case and revert back after.
@@d1n6bat nah sod that dude. What's the point in playing it?. Just seems a lazy way to get more trophies without doing anything in my opinion. I've since platinumed again and had much more fun doing it properly than just cross saving. Fair play if anyone wants to do it like that but not for me I'm afraid
I got the plat on the ps4 and ps5 version. I'm a bit of a maniac haha. Congrats on the plat!
Great video, you deserve more subs, so I subbed!
Thank you!
