From what I remember from developer interviews, every level having a Driving mission was some arbitrary requirement from Activision because some non-developer guy thought it was the coolest thing you could do in a skateboarding game. (Seriously.) The marvels of working in the Mainstream/AAA sphere of a creative industry are endless.
Stoked you’re trying something in THUG1, probably my favourite game in the series. I think the goals are different on sick mode, so that’s the best way to tell which difficulty you are playing at. Also good luck with that final Eric line...
THUG was the first game in the series I wasn’t hyped on. After playing 2,3 and 4 constantly I was burned out on the series by then. Which THPS was first for you?
It's amazing how well this game has held up to this day. Sure, it's definitely dated -- but for a game that came out in 2003, this game still looks really good. Right down to the animations, this game just nails everything (not considering the driving of course).
I'm so glad you tried Skitching for the 720 challenge. Never tried this before because, well, why bother with stats? But it was the first throw away mission I thought of that might be a problem and it's great how there's an unorthodox solution to it
@Jordan I know I am a little late, but I disagree with that being the best way. You can use the ladder to get on top of the building, then acid drop down into the vert area and get the 720 easily
Yesss ! Finally, I found a zero stats series with an actual rad rat character model. I’ve been wanting this but I had skipped over thug1 and when straight to thug2 for some reason lol. Very handsome character model I must say haha I’m a big fan of your work Rad Rat!!
the amount of times you could have utilized the combo run out physically pained me, but i applaud you for not instinctively using it as a crutch like i do
I seen a meme showing these coincidences during the 2016 election. I wouldn't be surprised if Neversoft was making political satire with the Tampa level since Jeb Bush was Governor of Florida in 2003 and he may have already used his campaign logo for gubernatorial election cycles. After all, Jeb's brother is George W. Bush.
Basically some of the funny parts 19:33 - Calls the cop a pig 26:28 - Free nuts for ya 34:21 - Practice with the nut buster every night 37:31 - Asian chef who works at McDonald's 40:51 - The cop has his foot on the skater's neck, didn't age well for 2020. 42:38 - Someone help Rad rat! 44:06 - He talks about SKATE 4 48:20 - Gets mad at the car 50:10 - car sex grind 50:15 - Neversoft joke 50:45 - Rad rat forgets he can get off his board 1:08:50 - Inside joke 1:13:12 - Destroying Tony Hawk 1:13:25 - Flexing of Tony Hawk 1:26:05 - Basically the whole FLIP video was hilarious.
I've just finished THPS1+2 and was thinking about getting out my PS2 and playing the old games again. I remembered buying this game and hating it as a teenager, but I didn't really remember why. 20 minutes into this video and I know I don't want to replay it. I might not even bother with THPS4 again honestly.
When you’re in New Jersey at the end of the game, there’s a mission that has you grind the whole city in one long combo...GOOD LUCK...I can barely keep my balance with full grind stats
how'd you get it to work?! i used to have the cracked version running just fine when i had windows 8.1 my laptop screwed up so i got it fixed, the guy took it upon himself to upgrade it to windows 10 for me
If you're having trouble with the controls, install rewasd and map the keyboard controls to your joystick. Works like a charm for underground 1&2 plus Americsn Wasteland as well.
Here's a few tips from a PC Player: - Since you're using a gamepad, you can change the keyboard bindings to things like "A" to Ollie, "X" to Flip, "Y" to grind, "L" to Rotate Left, "C" for "Caveman", etc... It makes the button prompts much less confusing. - If you're having issues with the controller mapping you can use a software to emulate keyboard inputs, I personally like AntiMicro, it's on github. - You can disable the Draw Distance Clipping on the Launcher to get rid of the Pop-in.
My skateboard dream would be to see Tony Hawk Underground remastered along with three or four new levels. The levels wouldn’t have to be included in the story.
to map the Triggers in pc tony hawk games i use xpadder free version, map triggers to keyboard keys, then map then at the keyboard keys on settings , first clean every key and map those you choose for the triggers and it should work
Hey Rat! Just a quick tip, inputmapper is a great program that lets you map the triggers to keystrokes. The triggers are actually analog values for pressure sensitivity but it is possible to map the threshold for each trigger
I've watched your zero stat runs and I realized that simple video game logic just doesn't come to everyone. You just overthink the objectives. I think it's interesting though. But big red arrows and text saying what to do is self explanatory. Love that you questioned getting nuts from nut vendors that you all ready ran over and murdered 😂
When you're struggling with the combo challenges try getting off your board to cover some more distance and save manual balance. You saved in the wrong spot at the end BTW LOL
Hey man can you do a quick tutorial video on the face mapping portion? Or do you have a short blog post on it? I'd love to just get another refresher because I'm currently struggling to really nail it! Thanks, I love your videos dude!
If there ever was a problem with mapping the shoulders because both of them would be recognized as one button, you can add the game to Steam, launch big picture mode, and then in big picture mode set up a custom configuration for your controller, it's easy and lets you use your shoulder buttons individually (unfortunately you have to set every binding yourself ex kp2 to x, kp8 to triangle and so on). I could send you a screenshot to how my configuration looks so it will be faster for you.
Boom, I been waiting for this one, I figured I would try it a few weeks ago but instantly upon entering the game realised you can't normally edit the stats to be lower
The controller problem can easily be fixed by downloading an application to map your controller. I use Antimicro. It works flawlessly. I was able to play THAW and THUG2 on pc perfectly.
the last set of challenges where you go to all different levels before you have to chase eric is going to be the hardest part. might be impossible. not sure as ive only beaten it on sick with nearly full stats
modding these games are a pain in the ass. iedited the music in thug2 but it's such a tedious process that when i had to reinstall windows i didn't bother to do it again
I can't believe you're doing this to us, what have we done to deserve yet another amazing episode in this series? Also, I can't believe you're doing this to yourself, what have YOU done to deserve yet another painful episode in this series? 😅
Ooohhh, shiiit, a while ago I attempted something similar, no mods needed, on Sick with all the extra moves turned off unless a required mission forced me to use them, as well as the auto-kick and HUD off. I only made it as far as Tampa (no 100% goals). Oh my, this should be interesting. 😵💫🥴
Don't ever ask a girl if they're still on for the date. Tell her you're ready and about to leave and that you'll see her soon. If she says "oh I forgot!" Or "Sorry I'm busy now" or some other nonsense, then you never respond to her again and move on with your life. She agreed to a time and a date, and you should expect her to be ready without checking in on her, if she cant respect you enough to ket you onow beforehand, then she isnt worth your time. It's a silly game and for some reason asking if the date is still on or asking if they want to meet up is the biggest turn off to them.
oooo, 40:50...well, well, well, yea, already rough, but the timing with this video coming out, no wonder you understandably recoiled at that awful coincidence...
"there's like 30 people in this town and it's all drug dealers and skaters" sounds like New Jersey to me.
From what I remember from developer interviews, every level having a Driving mission was some arbitrary requirement from Activision because some non-developer guy thought it was the coolest thing you could do in a skateboarding game. (Seriously.)

So you're doing a zero stats run and you don't choose Zero as your sponsor? They even had the best video.

"That's the hot dog guy."
you can tell it is sick mode by the tutorial having that last bit with the combo. just to let you know

Get Xpadder. I got it to run THUG on a controller to fully use the entire controller including the Triggers.

That Jed! poster looks just like Jeb Bush’s “Jeb!” logo used in his 2016 presidential campaign. Were Neversoft clairvoyant?

I actually just played this for PS2 recently. It was my first skateboarding game ever and I had a blast. Not bad for a $13 game off ebay.
captivating
Wooooo I cant wait for this one to continue!
I LOVE the New York level. Whenever I’m in Downtown Manhattan, I make sure to visit the spots that were in the game. Its pretty surreal.
"how often do you see a switch mctwist in a street comp?!" you're awesome dude LMAO!
"Okay now simply beat Tony Hawk's best score here to join your fist amateur contest."
very stoked on this series. can't wait to see where it goes!
Yess!!! More mental suffering and torture of Rad Rat!! My fave type of videos
I've played the story mode about a hundred times and it never gets old
RR: "I'm too good at this game, aren't I"
Me: "Nah sorry"
My skateboard dream would be to see Tony Hawk Underground remastered along with three or four new levels. The levels wouldn’t have to be included in the story.
I have waited for this day! Underground is my favourite TH game

Your custom deck changes the board Chad Muska gives you; bright blue Shortys deck 🛹
Reference for part 2, the Double Blunt Slide and Darkslide reset the balance meter. The other double tap grinds only do that partially.
