Nice bro, the PC demo of the France competition level was my first experience with THPS2. It definitely had the nicest looking textures out of all the platforms it came out on.

>that feelio when unlocking Spiderman for the first time in THPS2

Also, I loved the level editor in that game.

SO HERE I AM

Sorry, DC is not allowed.
Just kidding. Still, I hope this thread doesn't get deleted just because I said Dreamcast

>>1037168
I remember N64 THPS2 running a hell of a lot better than PSX THPS2.

Of course, I had it on PC, so I was playing in "HD" (1024x768) way before that was cool.

>>1037076
Dreamcast is not retro.
Dreamcast discussion belongs on /v/ or /vg/
Stop breaking the rules.

>>1037213
Fuck off kid the only person who said Dreamcast ITT is you.

>>1037216
The picture is very clearly of a Dreamcast game, brat. Dreamcast games can not be discussed on /vr/

>>1037208
I loved how you could play THPS on the PC in above 720p while everyone else was playing in 240p
I mean I was like 8 and I didn't know why it looked better on my family computer but that was like my little gaming secret no one knew about

>>1037216

>>1037223
Take your butthurt back to /v/.

>>1037223
Okay there anon, we get the satire

i used to be pretty good at this game. was almost like a home version of pic related

>>1037076
>Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2
>For Dreamcast

>This board is for the discussion of classic, or "retro" games. Retro gaming means consoles, computer games, arcade games (including pinball) and any other forms of video games on platforms launched in 1999 and earlier. Sixth generation and later consoles are not considered retro (including the Dreamcast).

Nice try at sneaking a Dreamcast thread onto /vr/ OP

>>1037230
Fuuuck, I haven't seen that game in a long time. They used to have one of these at the Playdium in Mississauga, shit blew my mind at the time.

While everyone was going nuts with THPS, I played the fuck out of Dave Mirra's Freestyle BMX. The trick system is much more interesting and the competition levels get actually pretty damn difficult near the end (the scoring system didn't have any multipliers, so you couldn't get perfect score with a single over-blown combo). The soudtrack was just as good as in THPS2 as well.

Also, who needs special tricks when every rider can do a NOTHING 900 DOUBLE BACKFLIP if there's just enough hangtime.

A Dreamcast thread on /vr/ ? What the fuck. Dreamcast had games made for it until 2007. It's no more retro than the PS3. If DC is allowed in this thread then you might as well allow pic related.

>>1037240
Oh, how was the game? And the Kelly Slater surfing game too. Me nor any of my friends ever played any of them

Dreamcast is not retro. I'm going to report this thread and get it deleted.

>>1037240
I really liked the levels in Dave Mirra. There would be two or three levels in the same city that follow each other.

Also posting the most realistic skating sim of this generation.

>all this anti-Dreamcast butthurt ITT

THPS2 started as a PSX game, you faggots. Take your Nintendo autism to /v/.

>>1037265
Dreamcast discussion is not allowed here newfag. Delete the thread and talk about the PS1 version instead. Also you fail at history, Sony was Sega's biggest competition you fucking retard.

I remember picking up a latter version of THPS where you could do pogo style board tricks. Was able to clear an entire level with ease without need of ever skating. Just pogo and balance on the board till you reach the min score. Was cheesy.

On the other hand, tfw you jump from rail to rail in an endless grind while you struggle for balance!

Back then I would have never expected a skating game to actually turn out good and with tight control.

>>1037268
Wow I haven't even heard of that game
How is it?

>>1037270
>>>/v/
>>1037268
This game was brutally hard, also my first skateboarding game. Anyone who is into these type of games should check out the Wakeboarding ones, they're actually fun.

>>1037276
>pogo tricks
Tony Hawk's Underground perhaps? My favorite game in the series

>>1037278
It's shit like all sports games. Go back to your beta games like Madden 99.

>>1037281
>skateboarding game
>>>/sp/
>>>/out/

Maybe if you went outside you'd find there's a world outside of your Dreamcast games.

>>1037280
But I only have Madden 95
I've never even owned a Genesis

>>1037290
I liked Madden 95 better than Tony Hawk 1 because it has a bigger roster.

>>1037270
>Dreamcast discussion is not allowed here newfag.
The versions are identical. It doesn't matter which boxart OP used.
>Delete the thread and talk about the PS1 version instead.
lol make me fgt ooooh what now lil' nigga
>Also you fail at history, Sony was Sega's biggest competition you fucking retard.
Sony wasn't even a console contender before 1995, so no.

>>1037303
Once again
>feeding the troll

They'd still shit up the thread regardless of the OP pic because "hurr sports games aren't games u casual"

>>1037310

I get the feeling it's one guy currently going on a rampage, he's also in another thread going off on people. Best to just wait for mods to clean up and let it blow over.

>>1037303
>Sony wasn't even a console contender before 1995, so no.
>Failing at history again
Sony dominated the period from 94 to the Dreamcast's death fuckwit.

>>1037076
I agree with the sticky but this is where I can see people getting confused about because if Tony Hawks Pro Skater is on the Playsation, Nintendo 64, Gameboy color or Personal Computer, it is considered retro, but if its on the Dreamcast, and was released at the same time as the other consoles ports, then it is not retro.

>>1037319
>Everyone I don't agree with must be the same user
Grow up. The boogeyman and communists are not out to get you.

>>1037319
Yeah it's one guy.

I love it when games have just such great soundtracks though. I've bought like 4 albums just from having heard songs on THPS 1 and 2.

>>1037238
Nice to see another Canadian bro in /vr/ playdium / Sega city was the shit.

>>1037076

>The
>Dreamcast game.

Dreamcast is not allowed. Reported for shitposting.

If I recall correctly, on THPS2 for the N64 if you were on a custom park and had a bunch of items on screen and held C-right while going off a ramp that temporarily lowered gravity or something. I would play with no cheats and get 1440s easily. Not sure if that was an easter egg or what.

>>1037270
How come I never see you flag, report, or criticize those who post threads about versions of games on PSP or Modding the PSP, and what about the thread yesaterday on retro consoles in tv shows/movies that was derailed by pictures of Josh Peck or one of the many other non retro threads/posts that get posted dainly on /vr/.

It would seem as if you don't really care what gets posted on /vr/ unless it has to do with the Dreamcast, and when it does you shout "The sticky! The Sticky!" As if its your only source of credible argument.

People like you only hurt the board even more by only reporting non retro stuff that you don't like and ignoring others that you do.

You should go back to /v/.

>>1037391

Probably some sort of programming/code problem related to the less powerful N64 hardware caused by an overload of materials on screen. Then again, I'm just talking out of my ass here, and I'd have figured it would have just caused standard old slowdown.

>>1037397
No, he should just throw out his computer and stop exposing himself to the world at large.

>>1037401
Yeah I'm pretty sure the fps started to chug and that's why it happened. What I assumed as a 9 year old was that because the frames lowered my momentum wasn't altered and I went farther or something. Not exactly perfect logic there but I thought I was hot shit for getting 1440s in Tony Hawk haha

>>1037397
>>1037405
>Thinking I'm every anon you don't like
>Being this paranoid

Wow it really is summer. The PSP threads are about emulation. Emulation is allowed on /vr/. This thread is about a DREAMCAST GAME which the sticky specifically says is not allowed. Grow the fuck up and learn to follow the rules, it's basic forum etiquette.

Take your conspiracy theories back to /pol/

>>1037424
Get a life faggot.

Suggestion: Post a

TRIGGER WARNING

before you mention the word Dreamcast. That way we can discuss multiplat retro games that just happen to have been ported to the dreamcast without upsetting the delicate aspies.

>>1037424
It's about a PS1/N64/PC/Dreamcast game. I hope you're just trying to make a joke and aen't actually serious

>>1037320
1995 global release. Checkmate, atheists.

Also you're the one that failed at vidya history, PSX didn't "dominate" the market until FFVII came out.

>>1037424
It is not a conspiracy theory. Its is a fact. The threads involving the Dreamcast are the only ones who have people yelling and complaining.

And the PSP is not a retro console. The computer generally applies because no one really talks about what computer they are emulating on, we can usuallly just imply that he is using a computer that is considered retro.

Besides, if we went by your idea of the rule then I could mod a Dreamcast and use it for emulation and post topics on emulating games on the Dreamcast.

And there was a thread the other day regarding physically modding the PSP and not just the software.

>>1037319
Considering how threads about bargain hunting via importing got shitposted to death by buttblasted faggots, I wouldn't be surprised if it's one guy shitting up /vr/

This whole time I thought Activision O2 meant '02 as in the year 2002
Now I realize it refers to oxygen
I feel so silly right about now

>>1037454
Those threads got delete because it was /v/ tier meme shit of the same guy posting his shitty thread ten times in half an hour.

>>1037470
OP of those threads here.
I made it multiple times just because they kept getting flooded with shitposts consisting of "WHY DON'T YOU BUY WESTERN GAMES YOU FAGGOT"
Besides, you're misusing the word "meme"

>>1037484
No they got deleted because you're a conspiracy nut who thinks resellers are out to take your toys away. Fuck off back to your own thread.

>>1037502
But I never fucking said that.
I just prefer to save money. Is that a bad thing?

>>1037512
Polite sage. We are trying to talk about sports games.

Nice dodge there, m8. Answer the question
Anyway, allow me to compensate for all this off-topic discussion by saying that THPS3 > THPS2

>>1037502
Well considering I live in a town where there are 2 resellers and they both have a man who goes out and buys up every single game at every single garage sale and then sells em' in their shops for 3 times what they are worth. yeah its pretty much that.

Everytime I go to a garage sale and ask about video games its always the same thing "Well anon if you had just been here about an hour ago I had a ton of great games but they were all bought by a guy with a yellow cap".

That "guy with the yellow cap" is the grandson of one of the resellers in town and I personally see the other dude from the other shop all the time with large plastic bags of games and consoles he got from garage sales, and hes a personal friend of the reseller he works for.

>>1037246
The Playstation had games made for it up until 2005, It's no more retro than the PS3.

>>1037529
THUG > THPS3 > THPS1 > THPS2 > all other Tony Hawk games

>>1037540
SNES continued to sell games via kiosk up till 2007

>>1037246
And the NES still has homebrew.
Does that make the NES not retro?

>>1037557

dont forget atari, I can buy one in stores now, cant be retro right

>>1037565
>tfw Flashback 4 doesn't have a cart mod yet

>>1037571
how bout sega?

>>1037213
You know, when they first made that rule people didn't seem to understand what the rule meant, it was obviously confusing as games up to 1999 were allowed but games upto 1999 on the Dreamcast weren't. They wanted clarity, and so when they got clarity they were still upset, and I can see why.

Picture it, 1864, slavory had just been abolished, "you can call this the emancipation of retro games from /v/ and the initial ruling on the sticky". SO black people were obviously confused "this is the Dreamcast fanboys on /vr/. SO when the slaves "Dreamcast fanboys" ask for clarity this is what they get. "Well you are not allowed to work for certain people, your children will most likely not get to associate with white children and oh yeah, watch out because a guy named Steven Lynch started a white supremacy group call the KKK and they could and more than likely will kidnap and kill yoou and your family anf burn your little beat up shack to the ground and they will get away with it."

Now you say that the clarity was given and Dreamcast fanboys needed to deal with it.

Well when those freed slaves realized that being free was just as shittty, if not shittier than being a slave, don't you think they would be pretty upset?

Think about it.

>>1037579

>>1037579
superb analogy.
but i dont think its an analogy you could use for why DC isnt allowed on vr.
i mean, i get what youre trying to convey.
and really DC should be allowd (9/9/1999, yes i remember).
and the injustices done to american blacks during and after reformation period were very one-sided and loaded with many double standards (serperate but equal).
or maybe, im wrong, thats actually a good analogy

>>1037576
Don't those things come with absolutely no cartridge slot? That's some bullshit man.

I bet it doesn't even have Thunder Force IV...

>>1037579
holy fuck are you shitting me

I think we got megatrolled.

comes with cart slot, but I think there are some games that wont work.

Here's a review

>>1037606
I like to piss off AT&T executives when they talk about "grandfathered features", and I ask them why they would name policies for expired services after Jim Crow laws meant to fuck over anybody whose grandparents weren't registered to vote, because they were slaves.

They have stopped giving me shit over giving people free Android phones. Hahaha. God, I hate my job.
