You're probably already on it, but just wanted to mention there are tons of challenges that involve getting scores using only certain tricks or linking specific gaps in one combo etc., and each character also has their own challenges. At first I thought the game was really short but there's a ton of stuff to do
It is kind of strange you don't seem to be able to play a "proper" career more than once, other than getting the medals and stat points for all the skaters, but the Speedrun mode is a pretty nice alternative. For those that don't know, it basically flips the script so that instead of 2 minutes to complete as many goals as you can, you complete all the goals in the level for however long it takes you. The "Speedrun" is basically you challenging yourself to do it as fast as you can. It's an interesting idea and actually brings to mind the goal structure of Underground 2, just with a focus on getting it all done as fast as you're able.
The biggest complaint thps games ever got was it was too repetitive. Moving the biggest issue to be its own thing and renaming to something that’s fun is the best decision in the entire game.
This game is so fun and has so much content! It took me back to my old N64 days. I played it all day yesterday, occassionally taking breaks from level challenges to unlock a couple of my favorite decks. I still have a few levels left and a huge load of specific challenges if I want to 100% the whole thing. Even after 100%, the speedrun rankings and online play give the game infinitely replayable for anybody that wants to make their own fun. I enjoyed widdling my time down on School 1 to just under 3 minutes. They took a fantastic game from 1999 and turned it into something that stands on its own legs 21 years later, which is extremely impressive to me.
I am kind of sad that you cant beat the game with every single skater and just have to/ can only do it once... The game is perfect in every other aspect though. Very happy with this remaster.
A reset button per skater would be nice, giving you the option of doing it over with any given skater. Just forcing you to collect all the skill points is the worst of both worlds for me.
This! I can't believe not more people are disappointed with this. This is what made the old games so replayable for me, just picking it up every once in a while and playing through all the levels.
my thoughts are that they should have either made the high scores harder to gain, or they should have had a higher difficulty mode. Also, maybe keep THPS 1 and 2 separate, so you start with low stats on both. Also it would have been cool if they made an entirely new bonus level for completing the game as well.
You can try going for the sick combo and platinum score in every map if the original scores are too easy. While the scores were way too easy for me too I watched my poor dad who didnt touch a tony hawk game in 15 years struggle to get sick score on warehouse so I think its still well balanced for newcomers. Also if theres one thing Treyarch taught us with 2x its that any studio that isnt neversoft just shouldnt bother making extra levels lmao
The argument of making the scores higher makes 0 sense to me since this game is easy in general once you know how to use and abuse the mechanics. If someone can get 300k they can get 500k using the same methods. The want for a harder skate game is where the Skate series comes in. The beauty with this game is that you can go head to head online to challenge your self.
@@coolzoky well, THUG 2 and THAW classic modes are a good example of how challenging (and fun) Tony Hawk games can be. It would be nice if they created more difficulties in this game
I like that they let your stats go over to the next game because the speed and gravity in the remake are slower and heavier. So when you're at max stats in this game it's closer to 75% stats in the originals. At least thats how it feels to me after playing through the OGs 2 days ago
Stat points move around When you level a character they might be in different spots. When I leveled my cac the stat point was in the secret room where all the cash was in hangar
After playing through both games I moved on to the challenges. Some of the challenges are a lot of fun, especially the gap combos that restrict what types of tricks you can do.
I love that they added all the challenges, not the level goals, but the other challenges, combo challenges, gap challenges, all that stuff. You might think you're done with the game, but check out the challenges and you'll see there is plenty to do still.
I hate that if I am holding the A button to move when a match starts it doesn’t register. You have to wait for the match to completely load in before you press A to get your skater rolling. That was never an issue in previous games. I used to be able to just sit on the a button for a fast start as the level loads in.
@@propanepiff3506 I kinda agree. When he complaining about Skate Heaven being unlocked already he said he was disappointed, but then said he always used the cheat code to unlock it anyway.

About the issues with random ollies: it's mostly because of the controller. Use any tool to see which buttons you're pressing, hold the ollie button and then try to shift your thumb around without lifting it. You'll see that sometimes the controller thinks you've lifted your finger off the button. Apparently it's a very common issue with xbox controllers. The dev could fix it by making the game imperceptibly less responsive (so that it doesn't ollie as soon as it thinks you've lifted your finger). I "fixed" the issue by using an older controller that doesn't suffer from an unreliable A button.
@@ScootsMcPoot Like I said: by using another controller that doesn't suffer from that particular issue, I don't get unwanted ollies anymore. So yeah, it's a bug because the developers didn't take into account the unreliability of modern controllers... but had they been reliable, they way they programmed their engine wouldn't have mattered.
VelvetBlueCo I think dlc would work better at least from a customer POV though Business says otherwise. Think not need a mod anymore to have a ton of levels in one game.
The first "V" i was honestly expecting you to just let it go if you didn't get it before time ran out, but then you got it at the last second and i actually cheered outloud. These games were such a huge part of my childhood! If Skate Heaven was for the spots, then they need to make an updated version with Carlsbad, Brooklyn Banks, Hubba Hideout, Wilshire, etc
Was wondering the same about how to replay the levels with different characters. Just assumed switching characters would let you beat the game with different skaters. Seems like an odd decision to only let you beat the game once, or am I missing something?
The original games, if you wanted, could be beaten in an afternoon; they were short arcade style high score games, but each skater had different stats and special tricks for you to attempt. That's where the replay value comes in; you just throw on the game and say "Hey, I wanna play as Bob Burnquist today on the Dam level" and you have a few minutes to rack up as many points as you can.
@@AirahsELL but the remake is just as arcady. And I want to play the Career as a different skater and start from scratch only for that character like it used to be and I can't. So I will probably just send back the collectors edition and buy standard. Because with almost no replayability is 100 euros really too much.
@@adrenaliner91 it's actually better this way since progress is tracked for both level objectives and for individual characters. I decided to play as Aori and it's much different than playing with Tony because she's a street skater as opposed to a vert, and has her own set of challenges to complete. All the characters do. Also, skill points are not tracked across characters so if you wanna max out everyone you have to play every level with every character.
@@AirahsELL but I don't care to max out without the goals. I don't see the point to try all skater challenges and only search for stats there is just something missing and that is the goals and the feeling of actually unlocking something and progress. The replayability is not very high if everything is just unlocked and not much is there to complete, there is just not the feeling to really do something, unlock something..
If you're playing on PC you can move your save folder, if you want to replay the challenges, it's not a perfect solution, but may help you record footage of THPS1! To find the save folder, copy this into the address bar of windows explorer: %LOCALAPPDATA%\VicariousVisions\THPS\Saved\SaveGames\ 'AlcatrazSaveSlot.sav' should be your save file, but I'd recommend moving all thee files somewhere safe, Once the file's moved, you'll be able to boot the game with a clean save file. When you're done copy your old 'AlcatrazSaveSlot.sav' back if you want to restore it.
I am kinda bummed they got rid of the video part for each skater when you beat the game as them. I guess with TH-cam now it is not hard to find footage of any skater. But when I was a kid the first actual skate footage of a pro I saw were from the endgame video parts. And I was OBSESSED with beating the game with every character, just because I wanted to see actual skating. That was like a huge part of this series for me.
game looks beautiful and seems like it plays great! but the whole stats carrying over from one game to the next seems like a pretty big oversight. kinda seems to stunt the playability of thps2 here
@@metallicafan416 ah very true, an oversight on my part then! still rather odd that they carry over from game to game, and each game doesn't exist as separate experiences for whichever skater you choose. but i can also kinda see how this makes sense in the context of this being a package and combination of the the first two titles
@@dude995 Combining the games made it feels like 1 big experience. It may have felt odd to go straight from max stat Roswell to minimum stats airplane hangar. Also maybe you were supposed to play 2 if you needed help with stats for 1. Either way they were designed to carry over, and choosing to go without your other stat points will just make the game take longer. If you don't want stats to seem like they're broken then maybe play the second set of levels first, then come back and play THPS 1 with max stats.
As someone who played through the original 1, 2, and even 100% THPS3 leading up to this game's release, I personally welcome the variety that comes with the new "Challenges" system. You still will revisit all of the levels when trying to get all stat points for all characters but it's much more fun revisiting the classic levels and it doesn't feel as grind-y as getting the exact same goals for every level, for every character. Maybe it's just me but I'm really stoked with the execution here and I'm finding myself having more fun playing through the various characters with this game more than previous THPS games.
Ditto. I was holding out until the collector's edition was back in site and randomly checked Wednesday and it was there. I was in such a rush to lock my copy down I forgot to choose 1 day shipping. Oops. I have to wait until next Friday until it comes but I'm just glad I was able to get one of those Birdman decks. Have fun!
15:58 I also noticed some weirdness in that spot in Marseille. I used to do the same thing you did, except I did a few flip tricks before grinding on the top wall ramp, landed and grinded on the dumpster to continue the combo... But on THPS 1+2, there seems to be three weird things that make this combo really hard to pull. First, there's these small black rails on the wall (that seem to be for decoration, so I don't know if it's intended), so if you hold the grind button immediately after ollieying, instead of wall riding, you grind that rail. The problem is, that rail sends you flying on the opposite direction. Second, if you manage to get the wall ride, it seems if you wall jump and pull some flip tricks, you're automatically drawn to the second box, because of the "Box 2 Box" gap. It seems the game holds your hand a bit for gaps? And finally, if you manage to wall ride, grind the rail at the top of the wall, it's really tricky to manage to land on the dumpster, as in this game ollieying sends you much further than THPS2 would. I always end up landing where you do. Still having a blast, though! Will probably just have to get used to the fact the game controls slightly differently and find a new high scoring line :P
This game is stupid good! I am not dissapointed at all with the gameplay in any aspect, the character creator is a little lackluster to say the least but the clothing options are dope!
I also hope they have cross-platform parks. I would love to see full cross-play, but being unrestricted by platform in terms of custom parks would be good enough for me
drummerguy 85 can’t you just copy your save to USB (if want to keep a copy) and just go and delete the save data from both machine and cloud saves? Also, gotta get true completion with the Platinum if haven’t
I had the exact same issue with my Xbox One controller. If you can wiggle the A button around even a little bit (you'll notice it wiggles more than the other buttons) then it does the Ollie thing, because the button wobble knocks it out of the pressure point. If you have an Xbox One, you can test each individual button in the controller settings. That's how I found out mine was faulty.
I don't have a random ollie problem on PS4. But it just don't register the X button after you start the level immediately. Before I just could hold X and it would register it. And the biggest problem about the whole game is the Career Mode for everyone. I just played it 100% and now I don't care for challenges or stats anymore because I can't replay it with another character. 100 Euro was definitely too much for that.
Just started the video and I thought I'd ask, did you know Rodney voices one of the main story characters in Ghost Recon: Breakpoint? It seems so weird to me
The stats are in different spots for each pro like in 3, which I like. They really leaned into the new challenges, like "do a 10,000 point combo without manualing" which I don't like. I also wish you could beat the levels over and over again with different skaters, but it is the same goals again and again. I also wish they added new, harder challenges like HD did, where if you 100%'ed a level you could get harder versions of the goals with COMBO letters and higher scores and stuff. The fact they put the collectables in the same spot as the originals is also a problem. I would have liked if they put some slightly higher to match the new engine so you wouldn't always ollie over them. The old levels also don't work perfectly with THPS 4 style gameplay, since they have limited combo lines. THPS 1 especially has a lot of empty space.
Is there a way to know in which levels you already found the alien doll? I don't want to use a guide so I had to skip them on some levels, but on some levels I forgot if I found it already and I don't remember where it would have been...
I have the same “random ollie” problem with my Xbox One Elite 1 controller in Xbox One X. Basically the slightest release of the “A” button makes my character ollie. It’s too much sensitive.
Theres a glitch to max out your states right away with a create a skater. Create one remove all the stats then delete the skater. Make another one in the same slot repeat. On the 3rd time the stats will at 1 but when you add stat points you will have extras and it will be enough to fill the rest. Do it before they patch it.
50:57 into the video and I legit didn’t even realize the lack of music till I seen your comment. I guess it’s because I’ve been so focused on what Rads been talking about lol You’re right though, the music is half the experience and it blows chunks that we’re not able to enjoy it while watching people play it on TH-cam 😕
You can delete your save data and start the game over again on pc if u want.Go to your appdata folder you will have to enable hidden folders setting at the top of explorer and then go to local and then vicarous visions and find thps and go to the saves folder and copy and save ur old data to another folder and then delete your old data in the saves folder and u can start again.And when you are done just paste ur old save back in.Also disable the cloud saves in the epic launcher.
Three things I wish were kept: 1. Main Themes from both games, even if it's just a bonus 2. The original shriek and laugh from Skate Heaven 3. You can beat career multiple times with every skater. Other those three, I'm overjoyed at playing it! So many memories flooding back.
7:55 I have that same issue when emulating the original thps games using an xbone controller, must be a wierd thing with holding buttons on xbone controllers.
Did you play the originals? It was the same way. Its an arcade game, you play over and over to try and perfect your high score. With the updates there are challenges to do to unlock new items and characters. There's also free skate for fun and challenges with your friends splitscreen and online.
Rad Rat, what are you using to cap your GAMES? I use to use Fraps back in the THPS3 PC days. I have Xbox Gamebar for free on Win 10, but it seems to give me input lag on my gamepad when I record. This takes 6 million point runs down to 3 million. The slight lag is just enough to cut my score in half. It appears you dont have any input lag when you CAP? I can lower the input lag even more by switching my PS3 gp to a old Logitech controller. But it still has minor lag. Could you share your setup for CAPTURE? Including gp type, game setting, and cap settings?
they still need to fine tune the controls imo. i keep bailing way more than I used to. It’s not because I haven’t played it either, I’ve been playing THPS2 consistently since it came out. The controls are really preventing me from enjoying it as much as I could.
I've heard that the sometimes grinds not catching on and accidental ollies are bugs in the game that the devs are working to fix. No ETA on the patch though.
As weird as it is, the remake looks far more fluid in terms of gameplay than the originals. I'm definitely going to have to get the remake and see how it holds up. Looks hella solid, honestly.
@@metallicafan416 That's true. But it doesn't even seem as stiff as the other HD games we've seen -- such as THP8 and THPG. Granted those games are 10+ years old at this point and I don't know what they were capped at.
@@themadhattress5008 I was playing Project 8 about a month ago. It definitely feels better. Project 8 felt really clunky if that makes sense. Not sure what it was, but didn't even feel like Underground or AW.
@@Sammyv17 Yeah, I feel like those games have their own feel. Hell, even from THPS2 -- THPS4 all have their own feel to the way they control. But even though Project 8 and Proving Ground themselves can feel very dynamic, I too think there's an inherent clunkiness to the controls that just wasn't there in the previous games.
Does each skater have an ending movie like the original??? The pro skater videos once you beat the game literally convinced me to start skateboarding 20 years ago
rough guess the alien and the V are either collectables or at least unimplemented collectibles - like there's something in the works, but it hasn't been actively noted yet.
The reason the scores are low is because you have to change the trick controls to the game you are playing. If you choose THPS1 you wont be able to manual or revert. If you choose THPS2 you can revert and manual. If you leave it on the default setting then its like playing THPS1 with THUG trick controls.
I died for a while, but now I'm back. Playing through this game, I've found the same issues you've had. I'm also using an XboxOne controller and I am having the same jumping issue. It's not you, I think it's the game. It also doesn't register if I'm holding down A prior to the game loading, causing my player not to crouch and gain speed. Especially noticeable in Downhill Jam and in Minneapolis. It's a real pain. I'm glad the pipe transfer in Downhill Jam isn't just a problem I was having. It's incredibly annoying. In THPS HD (or maybe it was in 2x, I forget), you'd come out that side door. The subtle touches like the abandoned mall and is amazing. Less amazing, but still cool, was that the school was "closed."
I really wish they had low poly models for some of the skaters I think it would’ve been really cool other than that I love the remake it’s so refreshing to have a good Tony Hawk game again
Hey Rad Rat,guess you havent found the plushies yet,there s a bunch of green plushies hidden in the maps, 1 per map,if you hit all of them with your character you will unlock a secret skater. About the physics of the game,it does feel a bit different from the originals,there s been some jumps that i had a bit of difficulties doing,like when i was trying to get the secret tape in Downhill Jam,the 2nd gap wasnt a problem,but the first one was tough,i made multiples attempts before i eventually did it. It was also the same for the 4 venice beach transfers,the biggest of the 4 took some tries before i made it,there was also the volcano in the skater heaven level,took me some tries to finally jump inside of it.
Also,Airdrop and Skater Heaven also have a V logo and Alien plushie. For Skater Heaven just dont forget to grind the blue neon line next to the vert ramps in the middle of the map to activate the volcano,then jump into the volcano to find the Animal Chin ramp section where the collectables are.

So I will probably just send back the collectors edition and buy standard. Because with almost no replayability is 100 euros really too much.
@@adrenaliner91 it's actually better this way since progress is tracked for both level objectives and for individual characters. I decided to play as Aori and it's much different than playing with Tony because she's a street skater as opposed to a vert, and has her own set of challenges to complete. All the characters do. Also, skill points are not tracked across characters so if you wanna max out everyone you have to play every level with every character.
@@AirahsELL but I don't care to max out without the goals. I don't see the point to try all skater challenges and only search for stats there is just something missing and that is the goals and the feeling of actually unlocking something and progress. The replayability is not very high if everything is just unlocked and not much is there to complete, there is just not the feeling to really do something, unlock something..
@@adrenaliner91 your taste is incredibly shallow if you need a constant drip feed of progression to enjoy a game.
I enjoyed the part where you complained about the rain on the roofs.
If you're playing on PC you can move your save folder, if you want to replay the challenges,
it's not a perfect solution, but may help you record footage of THPS1!
To find the save folder, copy this into the address bar of windows explorer: %LOCALAPPDATA%\VicariousVisions\THPS\Saved\SaveGames\
'AlcatrazSaveSlot.sav' should be your save file, but I'd recommend moving all thee files somewhere safe,
Once the file's moved, you'll be able to boot the game with a clean save file.
When you're done copy your old 'AlcatrazSaveSlot.sav' back if you want to restore it.
So awesome. And the fact that is got such good reviews means that hopefully they’ll do more games like pro skater 3
I am kinda bummed they got rid of the video part for each skater when you beat the game as them. I guess with TH-cam now it is not hard to find footage of any skater. But when I was a kid the first actual skate footage of a pro I saw were from the endgame video parts. And I was OBSESSED with beating the game with every character, just because I wanted to see actual skating. That was like a huge part of this series for me.
They have video parts when you clear their challenges, go into extras. The kareem one was footage from 20 years ago kinda cool.
@@moment_of_truth_23 Oh nice that is awesome! It just wouldn't feel the same to me without those.
"Almost doesn't count except for horseshoes, hand grenades, and Jamie Thomas" is a funny loading screen message.
22:20 - I'm guessing your microphone didn't mute but you intended it to? Lmao
Feel you on that rail pipe across in Downhill. I had so many accidental wallrides and misses.
game looks beautiful and seems like it plays great! but the whole stats carrying over from one game to the next seems like a pretty big oversight. kinda seems to stunt the playability of thps2 here
The actual oversight is you can take the stat points off to play it how you're asking
You can edit the stats whenever you want even mid game
@@metallicafan416 ah very true, an oversight on my part then! still rather odd that they carry over from game to game, and each game doesn't exist as separate experiences for whichever skater you choose. but i can also kinda see how this makes sense in the context of this being a package and combination of the the first two titles
@@dude995 Combining the games made it feels like 1 big experience. It may have felt odd to go straight from max stat Roswell to minimum stats airplane hangar. Also maybe you were supposed to play 2 if you needed help with stats for 1. Either way they were designed to carry over, and choosing to go without your other stat points will just make the game take longer.
If you don't want stats to seem like they're broken then maybe play the second set of levels first, then come back and play THPS 1 with max stats.
As someone who played through the original 1, 2, and even 100% THPS3 leading up to this game's release, I personally welcome the variety that comes with the new "Challenges" system. You still will revisit all of the levels when trying to get all stat points for all characters but it's much more fun revisiting the classic levels and it doesn't feel as grind-y as getting the exact same goals for every level, for every character. Maybe it's just me but I'm really stoked with the execution here and I'm finding myself having more fun playing through the various characters with this game more than previous THPS games.
So does this mean zero stats is next? 😂 I love that series!
I have been waiting for this game for 20 years !!!
Ditto. I was holding out until the collector's edition was back in site and randomly checked Wednesday and it was there. I was in such a rush to lock my copy down I forgot to choose 1 day shipping. Oops. I have to wait until next Friday until it comes but I'm just glad I was able to get one of those Birdman decks. Have fun!
It came out 20 years ago
haha watching you explain how you can never get the tape a Venice from the tables, as you did it first try was hilarious.
15:58 I also noticed some weirdness in that spot in Marseille. I used to do the same thing you did, except I did a few flip tricks before grinding on the top wall ramp, landed and grinded on the dumpster to continue the combo... But on THPS 1+2, there seems to be three weird things that make this combo really hard to pull.
First, there's these small black rails on the wall (that seem to be for decoration, so I don't know if it's intended), so if you hold the grind button immediately after ollieying, instead of wall riding, you grind that rail. The problem is, that rail sends you flying on the opposite direction. Second, if you manage to get the wall ride, it seems if you wall jump and pull some flip tricks, you're automatically drawn to the second box, because of the "Box 2 Box" gap. It seems the game holds your hand a bit for gaps? And finally, if you manage to wall ride, grind the rail at the top of the wall, it's really tricky to manage to land on the dumpster, as in this game ollieying sends you much further than THPS2 would. I always end up landing where you do.
Still having a blast, though! Will probably just have to get used to the fact the game controls slightly differently and find a new high scoring line :P
This game is stupid good! I am not dissapointed at all with the gameplay in any aspect, the character creator is a little lackluster to say the least but the clothing options are dope!
It's not your controller. A lot of people, myself included, are having the same issues.
I have lots of random ollie's. More than the video. Maybe I just suck but it feels off.
@Paul Bell I do not have that ollie issue either
When it happens pause the game with your keyboard then enter the game again with your controller.
I never had this issue
Yess, i have the same! Annoying sometimes..
Hey haven't watched all the way through, but the Vs and Aliens are listed as collectables somewhere in the Challenges tab
I also hope they have cross-platform parks. I would love to see full cross-play, but being unrestricted by platform in terms of custom parks would be good enough for me
It is the chin ramp, every spot in Skate Heaven is a real spot, how did you miss that??
Being able to skate through the gym door to the Gonz rail is a really nice touch. That was always a bitch to line up back in the day.
I’m surprise he didn’t mention Jack Black is the security guard at the school
Wait what???
creative username yea listen. That’s why he was in those berrics videos and hawk was on his channel. He’s a playable character
He didn’t unlock it yet, you have to finish all the create a skater goals
Officer Dick
Jack black used to be cool, maybe I was just young
At 13:30 doesn’t see the stat point multiple times
I hope there’s a way to restart your progress cuz I wanna play this back a few times
James Cornwell obviously it’s just that in some of the older games u don’t have to go thru all that
drummerguy 85 don’t Think so. But you Can do speedruns tho.
drummerguy 85 can’t you just copy your save to USB (if want to keep a copy) and just go and delete the save data from both machine and cloud saves? Also, gotta get true completion with the Platinum if haven’t
just delete the save from your ps4
Just delete the game And reinstall
I would appreciate combo letters in these levels, that would be fun.
I had the exact same issue with my Xbox One controller. If you can wiggle the A button around even a little bit (you'll notice it wiggles more than the other buttons) then it does the Ollie thing, because the button wobble knocks it out of the pressure point. If you have an Xbox One, you can test each individual button in the controller settings. That's how I found out mine was faulty.
I don't have a random ollie problem on PS4. But it just don't register the X button after you start the level immediately. Before I just could hold X and it would register it. And the biggest problem about the whole game is the Career Mode for everyone. I just played it 100% and now I don't care for challenges or stats anymore because I can't replay it with another character. 100 Euro was definitely too much for that.
Just started the video and I thought I'd ask, did you know Rodney voices one of the main story characters in Ghost Recon: Breakpoint? It seems so weird to me
The stats are in different spots for each pro like in 3, which I like.
They really leaned into the new challenges, like "do a 10,000 point combo without manualing" which I don't like. I also wish you could beat the levels over and over again with different skaters, but it is the same goals again and again.
I also wish they added new, harder challenges like HD did, where if you 100%'ed a level you could get harder versions of the goals with COMBO letters and higher scores and stuff.
The fact they put the collectables in the same spot as the originals is also a problem. I would have liked if they put some slightly higher to match the new engine so you wouldn't always ollie over them. The old levels also don't work perfectly with THPS 4 style gameplay, since they have limited combo lines. THPS 1 especially has a lot of empty space.
Going to grab this game today after work🔥🔥
I've experienced the random ollie issue, and I've seen it mentioned before, even during the Demo phase, so I think it's the game not your controller.
Broooooo I HAVE THE SAME ISSUE!!! THE AUTO OLLIE ISSUE!!!.
I've never ran into this ollie issue
Are Xbox controllers known for having sensitive buttons? Cause I’ve seen a lot of problems happening on Xbox mainly from forums online.
@@chamllis I use a Xbox one controller on PC no issues
Is there a way to know in which levels you already found the alien doll? I don't want to use a guide so I had to skip them on some levels, but on some levels I forgot if I found it already and I don't remember where it would have been...
Am I the only one that’s disappointed that the goals don’t reset for each character
Really looking forward to hearing your thoughts on this
18:34 isnt that the fountain from the minneapolis level in TH American Wasteland?
I have the same “random ollie” problem with my Xbox One Elite 1 controller in Xbox One X. Basically the slightest release of the “A” button makes my character ollie. It’s too much sensitive.
22:20 he burp
Theres a glitch to max out your states right away with a create a skater. Create one remove all the stats then delete the skater. Make another one in the same slot repeat. On the 3rd time the stats will at 1 but when you add stat points you will have extras and it will be enough to fill the rest. Do it before they patch it.
Since you can't upload videos with the soundtrack on I now realize how important it was and still is in order to have an authentic THPS experience...
50:57 into the video and I legit didn’t even realize the lack of music till I seen your comment. I guess it’s because I’ve been so focused on what Rads been talking about lol
You’re right though, the music is half the experience and it blows chunks that we’re not able to enjoy it while watching people play it on TH-cam 😕
Venice when you got the secret tape made my day
0 stat run?
You can look around in the old game too. Just hold back to stop and turn in 360
You can delete your save data and start the game over again on pc if u want.Go to your appdata folder you will have to enable hidden folders setting at the top of explorer and then go to local and then vicarous visions and find thps and go to the saves folder and copy and save ur old data to another folder and then delete your old data in the saves folder and u can start again.And when you are done just paste ur old save back in.Also disable the cloud saves in the epic launcher.
14:58 the self awareness is hilarious
Watching you miss that stat in the gym whilst mentioning how good the look around feature is totally destoryed me!
Three things I wish were kept:
1. Main Themes from both games, even if it's just a bonus
2. The original shriek and laugh from Skate Heaven
3. You can beat career multiple times with every skater.
Other those three, I'm overjoyed at playing it! So many memories flooding back.
What do you mean with main themes? And yeah 3 is important. I just hate that the replayability is shrinked next to nothing..
@@adrenaliner91 The menu music from the first two games. Iconic pieces imo.
agree on point 1.
and what about the 'no blood' thing? :l
edit: point 3 too, of course
7:55 I have that same issue when emulating the original thps games using an xbone controller, must be a wierd thing with holding buttons on xbone controllers.
Did you play the originals? It was the same way. Its an arcade game, you play over and over to try and perfect your high score. With the updates there are challenges to do to unlock new items and characters. There's also free skate for fun and challenges with your friends splitscreen and online.
Rad Rat, what are you using to cap your GAMES? I use to use Fraps back in the THPS3 PC days. I have Xbox Gamebar for free on Win 10, but it seems to give me input lag on my gamepad when I record. This takes 6 million point runs down to 3 million. The slight lag is just enough to cut my score in half. It appears you dont have any input lag when you CAP? I can lower the input lag even more by switching my PS3 gp to a old Logitech controller. But it still has minor lag.
Could you share your setup for CAPTURE? Including gp type, game setting, and cap settings?
they still need to fine tune the controls imo. i keep bailing way more than I used to. It’s not because I haven’t played it either, I’ve been playing THPS2 consistently since it came out. The controls are really preventing me from enjoying it as much as I could.
No bloody bails
I've heard that the sometimes grinds not catching on and accidental ollies are bugs in the game that the devs are working to fix. No ETA on the patch though.
22:20 Dude, bless you 😂
You can change your stats at any time, even redistribute the default points.
As weird as it is, the remake looks far more fluid in terms of gameplay than the originals. I'm definitely going to have to get the remake and see how it holds up. Looks hella solid, honestly.
60 frames per second versus 30
@@metallicafan416 That's true. But it doesn't even seem as stiff as the other HD games we've seen -- such as THP8 and THPG. Granted those games are 10+ years old at this point and I don't know what they were capped at.
@@metallicafan416 144 fps :)
@@themadhattress5008 I was playing Project 8 about a month ago. It definitely feels better. Project 8 felt really clunky if that makes sense. Not sure what it was, but didn't even feel like Underground or AW.
@@Sammyv17 Yeah, I feel like those games have their own feel. Hell, even from THPS2 -- THPS4 all have their own feel
to the way they control. But even though Project 8 and Proving Ground themselves can feel very dynamic, I too think there's an inherent clunkiness to the controls that just wasn't there in the previous games.
Does each skater have an ending movie like the original??? The pro skater videos once you beat the game literally convinced me to start skateboarding 20 years ago
rough guess the alien and the V are either collectables or at least unimplemented collectibles - like there's something in the works, but it hasn't been actively noted yet.
The poster of American wasteland is really making me want a remake of that
the chin ramp is in the skater heaven. gotta jump into the vulcano at the right time. not sure when, look it up!
The reason the scores are low is because you have to change the trick controls to the game you are playing. If you choose THPS1 you wont be able to manual or revert. If you choose THPS2 you can revert and manual. If you leave it on the default setting then its like playing THPS1 with THUG trick controls.
In marseille I just do a spine transfer on the right
I died for a while, but now I'm back.
Playing through this game, I've found the same issues you've had. I'm also using an XboxOne controller and I am having the same jumping issue. It's not you, I think it's the game. It also doesn't register if I'm holding down A prior to the game loading, causing my player not to crouch and gain speed. Especially noticeable in Downhill Jam and in Minneapolis. It's a real pain.
I'm glad the pipe transfer in Downhill Jam isn't just a problem I was having. It's incredibly annoying.
In THPS HD (or maybe it was in 2x, I forget), you'd come out that side door.
The subtle touches like the abandoned mall and is amazing. Less amazing, but still cool, was that the school was "closed."
I really wish they had low poly models for some of the skaters I think it would’ve been really cool other than that I love the remake it’s so refreshing to have a good Tony Hawk game again
Hey Rad Rat,guess you havent found the plushies yet,there s a bunch of green plushies hidden in the maps, 1 per map,if you hit all of them with your character you will unlock a secret skater.
About the physics of the game,it does feel a bit different from the originals,there s been some jumps that i had a bit of difficulties doing,like when i was trying to get the secret tape in Downhill Jam,the 2nd gap wasnt a problem,but the first one was tough,i made multiples attempts before i eventually did it.
It was also the same for the 4 venice beach transfers,the biggest of the 4 took some tries before i made it,there was also the volcano in the skater heaven level,took me some tries to finally jump inside of it.
Also,Airdrop and Skater Heaven also have a V logo and Alien plushie.
For Skater Heaven just dont forget to grind the blue neon line next to the vert ramps in the middle of the map to activate the volcano,then jump into the volcano to find the Animal Chin ramp section where the collectables are.
i played thps4 as a kid and i didn’t understand much english and had no idea what to do. this looks really fun but i feel like i’d be terrible at it
If you make a new PSN / XBOX account you can restart your save just select a new profile when you boot up your system
i would say the reason the roof is wet in venice is cuz it just rained as u can see from the rain clouds.
You can always take stat points off if you want to make it tougher again
Even tho i beat pro skater tours 100% in an hour,there is so more to do)
Currently playing multiplayer and completing challenges)
Just delete your save file and you can start over I was wondering the same thing because there isn't anyway to start a new career mode
You can just make a new user profile on console, or on pc you can just copy your save folder to a different directory.
@@bobdotexe These are both good ideas. I do hope they change this so then people don't have to go and do this
Why should I delete my whole progress with the challenges and everything ? It is just bad that the game has no individual progress for skate tours.
Which xbox controller did you use? The corded Amazon Basics one or the wireless pro ones?
Holding ollie down when the run starts doesn't register for me either and I'm using a Dualshock 4. So it's not just your controller
If you find that your stats are to high to grab something, just adjust them to a lower level and then put them back up after grabbing it.
