The more stable frame rate of the N64 version over PS1 makes a big difference for me. Of course including Dreamcast almost makes it not fair. Makes me want that version too.
The Dreamcast version blew my mind at the time, but I think looking back now I prefer the look of the PSX version. I like the gritty look and pixelly textures. The DC version had 30FPS as a bullet point on the back of the CD case :D Funny how things change, I can't stand 30fps anymore but back then, compared to the PSX version it was a godsend
@@superbn0va but it's very pixely which we didn't like at the time. the controls are slightly better with the ps1 controller but I must say that i really liked the n64 controls too. Smoothness is also cooler, so at the end i prefer N64>PS1
Which version do you prefer? Small correction because of a typo: 2:18min Dreamcast version resolution is 640x480p There is also Ngage version of Tony Hawk. This version is based on PS1 with lower resolution, decreased field of view and some removed content.
I wonder how the DC version compares with the THPS2X from the OG Xbox! I know the resolution and framerate is higher but idk if the textures were the same.
The fact that the Dreamcast was released 4 years after the original PlayStation makes me appreciate Sony's ingenuity and what they could achieve on the PS1 even more.
Playstation 1 como siempre demostrando porque fue una bestia parda su gpu, rompiendole el orto a consolas el doble y cuadruple de potentes y mas nuevas, Sony creo un monstruo que las devoro a ambas 64 y 128 bits. Gloria a la mejor consola de todos los tiempos Playstation 1.
The Dreamcast was short changed by not having Tony Hawk 3, even if it was just released in the USA where Sega sold a fair few DC consoles. I had my first experience with this game on the PlayStation and loved it, was certainly a franchise born for a Playstation controller but all three versions are very playable once you get used to each controller method.
OMG, i didnt even know there was a dreamcast version! (Because i wasnt there when it was released, or maybe i was in a crib, who knows) my god it dwarfs the others tremendously! i mean it looks almost like an early ps2 and gamecube game, they all look so vastly different and look like completely different eras.
The Dreamcast was in the same generation as GC and PS2 and was the first one to be released so you're right in the observation that it isn't far off say, Tony Hawk 3 on PS2.
Dreamcast version looks clearly the best. Its biggest issue for me is the controller. The analog sticks are more comfortable on the PS1. But I still mostly play the Dreamcast version nowadays.
@@wobblingpixels3921 I can't play Dreamcast games with that crap stock controller. I got the Brawler controller for my Dreamcast, and it is night and day.
I use the Brook Wingman SD to wirelessly play Dreamcast with an 8BitDo Pro 2. It works perfectly, no detectable input lag and the tests done by Porkchop Express seem to indicate its a very well made product. Has 200 blocks of VMU memory and you can transfer it to PC too. Glad I got it.
@@Fonald3D I got the same one, but I use my Hori Arcade Pro Hayabusa Arcade stick to play shmups. Never tried wireless on it. And yeah, great device for all the reasons you mentioned.
Did you use the Expansion Pak on the N64 version? I think the textures are much better with it. In fact, it would be great seeing comparisons between games with/without expansion pak, they don't exist on TH-cam. Great video as always.
@@TalesBarros I believe the expansion pack was a scam...I remember reading that it really didn't do anything. I mean, I had one when they first released just as I got my Dreamcast the day it came out. I heard it was a pass through and games like Perfect Dark (as an example) simply detected it which enabled us to play the entire game. It's been so long but I do remember something was fishy about the whole thing. Gamers were taking them apart and they were hollow...I can't remember. At any rate, no matter how you slice it...expansion pack or no, the Dreamcast was a far superior machine. I mean, it was a full generation ahead of the N64 and did go toe-to-toe with the PS2 for graphical superiority even winning many times. Everything from its architecture, speed, efficiency, ect was all bleeding edge when it released on 9/9/99. That sucker at $199.99 threw down with the best PC gaming had to offer when it came out. Of course within a few months the PC market passed it by but for awhile it truly was King of The Hill. Addendum- I remember that first night 9/9/99 both my roommate and I got our Dreamcasts. We set up two TV's in our living room, two Dreamcasts, invited a bunch of friends over, called off of work, and played the best gaming had to offer over a 3 day weekend. Between us we had two copies of Soul Caliber, NFL2K, The House of The Dead 2, 2 copies of Power Stones, Ready 2 Rumble, Hydro Thunder, and Sonic Adventure. We each wound up buying two more games (1 each) that Saturday afternoon. He got Airforce Delta and I Blue Stinger. What a freaking weekend!
@@Sinn0100 It doubled the RAM. There was nothing scam about it but DK64 literally used it to keep the game from crashing, it didn't actually need the extra RAM for the game itself so it was a marketing lie sort of
Some games didn´t use the pack to increase rendering resolution but to increase the color depth, from 16 bit to 24bit, and some others, like this game, use it to improve the framerate a little bit.
The N64 version could have been better graphically speaking, but making games for the N64 was much more expensive due to the materials and components of the cartridge. And yes, I know that this is not the game that more squeezes the N64.
The Dreamcast was in a league of its own when it launched. It represented the biggest leap forward in graphical fidelity that we as gamers had ever witnessed. The move from the 5th to the 6th gen brought with it so many incredible things that no generation before or after it came close...until very recently. It wasn't until the launch of the 9th generation that we're finally seeing true photo realism in games. For those that have not witnessed the Matrix Experience Demo I urge you to check it out on a 9th generation console while being played on a 4K screen...it will drop your jaw too the floor much like the Dreamcast did back in 9/9/99.
@legoclayface Yes! That is where we are at, but not for long. Microsoft and Sony have finally stated they are done with the 8th. For example, all of Microsoft's 2024 Showcase were only 9th generation games. Now, we will see what these machines can finally do, and technically, it started with the 2.12 update of Cyberpunk 2077. The expansion pack that dropped a few months ago was designed solely for the 9th generation and up. That last patch...wow.
THPS will always be a PlayStation memory and experience for me, and great ones at that! Never considered getting it for my N64 at the time, and never experienced the Dreamcast version since that console was pretty much DOA out the door over here.
@@ChaseNScooter Does it perform better? 3 frames difference in some scenes? Please. It's practically a tie on the framerate issue. And it's also no use having 3 frames of advantage if you can't see anything, everything is a blurry mess. Now about loadings, I'd rather have loading to load textures, music, reflections, polygons than not having loading but also not loading the graphics. 😅
@@Fellipe2k5 agree to disagree then. To me there’s a difference between those framerates. I have Tony Hawk on both PS1 and N64, and I’ll usually play the N64 one as well. However with a new brawler controller, the DC version definitely looks like the best of both worlds.

@@phreeze83 i get your point. Smooth framerate is a plus, but to me the controls and better gfx on the ps1 take the win.
Do the games all have the same licenced soundtrack? Same question goes for the sequel. I wanna make sure Superman is in all versions.
Which version do you prefer?

As a kid, they looked and played the same lol I wish I still had those goggles on.
Dreamcast looked like a ps2 game before the ps2 was out, but the controls and fluidity is pretty much everything in this type of games.
Had no idea I was cheated out of a superior thps experience by having an n64 instead of a Dreamcast crazy how much it had to be dumbed down
Dreamcast is the best, but i feel like the ps1 version has better lighting effects
