[Anonymous No.4135328]

>>4135318
The biggest issue with the game is it has no real elevation. Your speed it entirely determined on kicking around. Add that none of the tricks are very realistic to begin with and you get a THPS will bad controls. So to say this game is is ahead of it's time is comical to say the least.
>without saying ecelebs
There is no other explanation for this kind of history revision of a failed game.

No it was a fine place before we had people like the OP shitting out history revision opinions like Thrasher being a sim game or ahead of its time. These opinion almost always come from someone parroting an eceleb. I don't know if he is but it's an extremely safe bet to assume he's parroting an eceleb when it comes to opinion like that. I made a valid a point and the only thing OP replied with is the typical parrot shit and saying I had no opinion because I'm not a professional skateboarder.

I really don't care if I'm supporting it or not, I'm just genuinely curious why this crap started getting worse over the years. We used to be a pretty chill board.

No idea who the fuck "spoony" is. I don't follow eceleb shit like you. As a rule most ecelebs have no value and generally saying ignorant things that underage parrot. Like this thread.

This is the earliest game that I know of that has ragdoll physics.

[Anonymous No.4135602]

>>4135273
Ignore people bitching about e-celebs, if they can provide an argument for disagreeing with you then just ignore them.

As for me the game felt authentic, the music, the settings, the physics, cops and dogs, everything was real as fuck.
The physic limited you to few tricks at best and you had to stick perfect everything, from landing to speed at which you gonna hit some steeper hills.
The first time I've seen ragdoll in action and not just any ragdoll, you could just jump of your your board and them control legs and hands independently.
At the time that shit alone was mindbolowing.

The game has my favourite soundtrack till this day, there is nothing that can even compare tow feeling "white lines" awakens.

This game was dark souls of skateboard games and it was actually true for it.
It was a sim and a great game, shame 3D looked fucking bad but thats about the only complain.

Not really, I know how all comparison to souls games are handled but this game was actually demon souls of skate games.
That was a game that was difficult due to realistic physics but once you use your brain and not try to play it like TH games it was quite manageable.

Also, I dont remember anything in Quake to look like a ragdoll, do you have any examples of it?
Not to mention that most enemies would just explode or fall in scripted animation, sometimes crawl and shot at you.
Ragdoll in TS&D was real, was complex for every limb and body part, interacted with environment and player had control over limbs.
There is nothing like this in Quake games.

[Anonymous No.4135632]

>>4135623
>I dont remember anything in Quake to look like a ragdoll,
You're 15 so you wouldn't.

Nothing about the souls games should be used in any comparison other than how to make a bad game. Literally(literately) a game whose demographic is underage millennials that don't know what difficulty or a good control scheme is.

>You're 15 so you wouldn't.
This is how I know your age, the only people who use age as an argument are underageB&, once you pass 30's you forget kids even exist.

Also, pseudo ragdoll is not the same as real ragdoll and in Quake it wasnt even noticeable.
Get fucked or go troll your ma, she probably more accepting of your BS.

[Anonymous No.4135653]

>>4135643
See this is where you failed. I'm not using age as an argument. You lack the reading comprehension needed to know I'm mocking your age because of your ignorance. You take this as a personal attack since you probably are 15. The problem is kids like you treat the internet as a hug box with pillow bumpers. You lack the basic comprehension of the topic to have a decent argument. You spew ignorant shit and then whine when you get mocked. Simple fact of the matter is Thrasher isn't a sim. I already objectively proved this by saying elevation has no real role and you can do a 80ft grind with just one simple kick for speed. It's my opinion that it's just a bad THPS. It's not a terrible game but THPS is far superior. After googleing around I found at least 1 youtuber praising the game for "realism" so I assume this is where the OP got this shit opinion. Your statement about Thrasher being the first game with ragdolls is factually false. This is another case of bullshit spewing by ignorant idiots. Most likely underage since a simple google search can give you the game which is credited to be first to have ragdoll physics. I do not care enough to see if the youtuber I mentioned before stated this shit. I'd assume that it's likely and this is where you got this information from.

Comparing anything to souls shit is a large red flag to me of the age of the poster and what kind of opinions he's going to have. And my assumptions proved correct once again. Just because you're underage doesn't mean you're an idiot but it means you probably are because of posters like you.

Top fucking kek, keep going bro, I need a decent laugh.

It would still be funny if despite all that years of gaming experience you claim, if you would remember what constituted for a sim in 90's
Yeah, TS&D is not a perfect sim but sim nonetheless, the one that deals with limitations of the time.
Elevation does have a role tho.

>After googleing around I found at least 1 youtuber praising the game for "realism" so I assume this is where the OP got this shit opinion.

Well it's not a sim. In fact it looks less realistic than the Tony Hawk games. I just watched gameplay of it on YouTube and the skater shakes like he has major Parkinson's, and the skateboard attaches to edges like a magnet.

The game isn't bad. I have played it but not in years. It's either like you said the OP has some personal nostalgia for it or what I said some dumb underage parroting an eceleb. If you like the old extreme sports games I'd give it a try but it wouldn't be on my top lists nor should it be on anybody's really. That said the game had potential to be ahead of it's time but it's clear that any direction to make the game a sim if there was one didn't make it to completion. Game has a solid enough sound track. I'd say that's its strongest thing.

Something like Sledstorm was more ahead of its time than Thrasher if we want to stick to PS1 extreme sport games. Game had pretty cool graphical effects and a solid upgrade system/tricks. Idk if it's the first but it's one of the first games to have rooster tails come out behind you and actually do something.

[Anonymous No.4135768]

ITT People who never skateboarded complaing that people who did like a skateboarding game that is more realistic

Thrasher has more realistic skateboarding physics than THPS, and Skate. Visually it wasn't ahead of its time, but it definitly was in terms of gameplay.

I like how learning new tricks give it a sense of progression you don't really get in THPS, you barely need to upgrade your stats until you get to Bullring in 2.

THPS2 is still my favourite skateboarding game

Funny he says that the real problem with game was that there wasnt any real elevation.
That was exactly the point, the game tried to give you realistic environments to skate in.
You didnt had a hill to ride up, you had to jump curbs and stairs to get higher.
You didnt had one long slope to keep you going (except one level where you get chased by dogs I thing) you had to take the usual skating route of kicking off and conserving momentum.
That was exactly what contributed to it being a sim, it wasnt Tony Hawk kind of sanic ride from one side of the level to the other.
It was more realistic.

This game deserved better.

Enjoy bro, ignore shitty visuals and simple first level, you will get immersed after a few levels in game.

When jumping dont try to pull of long chains of combo and make sure you point your board toward direction you heading when landing otherwise you either fall or loose speed.
Sticking landings is important, few degree off and you kissing the ground.

Before you start run just familiarise yourself with the level and make sure you know where exits are so when police come it wont be a maze for you.
You cant break bones or damage your board in trial run so feel free to be suicidal.
Dont get hit by trains or cars or you die really fast.

If you cant get somewhere normal way just kick off a few times and then jump and let go of the board (L2+R2), tuck your hands and legs with circle and hope you can make it this way and not break anything in the process.
You can use this trick everywhere and go places.

It is a game with physical engine that takes some time getting used to, get used to it, it is good, its also nice to stick good tricks and not having to dial up over 50 different tricks in one jump as in TH.
Its more calm and methodical in that regard, no button mashing frenzies, you must be prepared and have a plan, physical engine only contribute to it.

Enjoy the music, this is the stuff that makes night ride in empty park a therapeutic experience.
