Why does everyone remember this song in particular from the game? I mean, don't get me wrong-- it's a great fucking song. It just seems bizarre that the ONLY song that was on the THPS1 demo disc is the one that literally everyone remembers.

Was the song really that good or did everyone just play the same demo disc as me?

Nah that shit was too soft for skateboarding music. Skipped it every chance that I had (or mute the demo disc after the first few weeks of playing it). Other songs in the game deserve more recognition. I blame Activision and Pizza hut for that soft song being approved as the epitome of the THPS 1 OST. Sorry if I hit any feels but I can't with Goldfinger as a band. Their music style is like being Good Charlotte's mature older brother. Pop and punk just don't mix well together.

Cindi Lauper and only Green Day's debut album gets a pass from me at least. But yeah, you definitely get where I'm coming from with the criticism. Lol

I know that people in the /vr sections despise hip-hop, but in skateboarding videos, most of the music was either hip-hop, 80s-mid 90s punk and metal. That's why THPS2 was the best seller of the first four in the series. They listened to us skateboarders' opinions and came with the response.

But y'all gotta understand, around the Punk/ska scene in the South, NOBODY listened to Goldfinger because it was like beginner's taste to music. By the time you were past 14 years old, nobody near me was jamming Goldfinger like that. Cause it was too mainstream as we grew up and expanded our music taste. But that was where I was from growing up. Everyone is different of course.

In the PS1 THPS4 was a nice send off to the franchise and that game actually improved everything.

On the 6th gen THPS3 is the shitiest of them all and you hate 4 because what? Let me guess, you still have troubles at the zoo?

I sure do think THPS4 is better, especially the PS1 version (the 6th Gen version was pretty good to me though). But I don't care for the PS2, Xbox nor GameCube versions of any Tony Hawk game except 2X is the only exception. Oh and THPS 3 on ps1, N64, & Gameboy advance > PC, PS2, Xbox & GameCube versions.

I grew up with the N64 version and that was the only song with intelligible lyrics in the game. All the other tracks except one or two had the lyrics cut, and I could never understand the other tracks.

It might also be because it's an extremely catchy song.

I love pro skater 4, I've beaten it countless times. 4 is one of the best tony hawk games, but in my eyes 3 is the best tony hawk game. I just like the personality and feel of 3 more than 4. Thps3 is more aesthetically pleasing to my eyes. The secret characters in 3 are cooler and more vast than the secret characters in 4. Although I do like that 4 has Jango fett in it and Mike Vallely. Tony hawk 3 feels more like a pro skater game, while 4 feels like and awkward stage between the pro skater games and underground. I'm pretty sure 3 has more levels too.

Can't tell if you're trolling or not. The 6th gen tony hawk games are some of the best in the series. 3 is definitely better on 6th gen, and I don't think most people have played the ps1 version of 4. Tony hawk's underground and American wasteland are also great games in the series. Underground is a must play if you ask me.

Not "true THPS" and the PS2 version feels so clunky and slow compared to the smothness of 4, hell project 8 "classic mode" is miles better than 3. Just because it's the first and only to retain the "classic" goals structure from 5th gen doesn't make it a good game. Also the best "True THPS" is THPS2x to the point the only bad thing people can come up with to hate it is the "Xbox controllers" which you get used to it in no time if you're not a retarded baby

I'm not trolling, 3 really wasn't all of that, and unfortunately I've owned it on every console except Xbox (I even purchased the game on my old flip phone). I've spent enough money on THPS3 to know how overrated it is. And I wish that I could have my allowance back, but it is what it is. Wasteland to me is underrated due to underground 2 being the beginning of the Tony Hawk series downhill. It should have gotten more recognition than it did for a non retro game.

>>6380303
That was the thing, it was like seeing Pennywise perform with more hardcore punk bands. But I'll take pennywise over Goldfinger's pop-punk shit anyday. Just my two cents. Always kept my mouth shut meeting chicks who loved "Spokesman" by Goldfinger whenever I played THPS4. Hahahaha, I used to cringe so hard hearing them sing it at my old place. But I hear you though, whenever Pop punk plays around the ladies just zip it and enjoy the times you get in front of ya.

Only good thing about THPS 3 is Del. Nothing else.

Worst skateboard deck designs (not many board sponsors were endorsed for the game).

Soundtrack downgrade from THPS 2.

Aside from the PS One and N64 versions, the game physics was too much for the level layouts. As in once your stats was maxed, you're too busy floating all over the place to really accomplish reaching certain gap points. You had to hold on to the down button a lot because you zoom fast past shit. Good thing the levels were larger in THPS 4.

I like the music in 3. I've played the games so much that I usually listen to something else when I play them. The boards in 3 are fine. I don't really play tony hawk games for the boards. You are a silly boy for preferring the 5th gen version of 3.

Is there a trick to getting big scores in these games? I used to play 1/2 quite a lot, and while I could keep up with 1 easily the second game's sick scores were way too much. Are you supposed to learn where all the gaps are then work out a line and manual between them or something? The later games felt like they were designed for people who could reliably get those huge scores.

[Anonymous No.6383523]

>>6383513
Get your grind and manuel stats up and link together different types of grinds with different kinds of flip tricks and manuels. Maybe mix in some special moves if the character has any good ones, but that's not completely necessary.

[Anonymous No.6383803]

>>6383731
No idea, sorry. I remember I managed to get the sick score in the hangar in 2, but I didn't utilise manuals too much and would used grabs more than flip tricks. I'd usually build up speed then do spinning grab tricks over gaps or after wall rides (or just jump a lot on rails and combo different grinds together until I lost momentum). The advice above helps a lot, I'll try it out. I know I suck, but at the time I didn't have access to gameplay of it being played well and the single player challenges hinted at it being all about finding lines with the collectathon aspect of SKATE and other objectives.

[Anonymous No.6385302]

>>6383803
If you let the game play the "demo play" you'll see a good enough combo line to copy from, I remember the only way I could get gold in Marseille was by mimicking that "demo run"

[Anonymous No.6385819]

>>6383513
For big score, diagonal flip to diagonal grab as diagonal tricks are more valuable than just pressing left/right/etc. If you have big air you can sneak another flip to grab in the air after your first flip to grab. Always hold your last grab as long as possible, that's where the multiplier will net you the most. Try landing perfectly, that's another bonus. Once you get good at managing balance scales you can link special flips and grinds together, manual to a ramp, and hit a huge trick like I described above. Watch speedruns for the best lines if you can't be bothered to explore the environment yourself (although exploring is half the fun of skateboarding in general so that's your call)

>how to score big in THPS2
>max out them stats
>manual to grind to manual to grind combos are your friend
>mix it up, don't do the same tricks the entire time, do the MGMGMGMG combo over to a halfpipe, then do some grabs and kickflips in the halfpipe, then go back to MGMGMGMG comboing once grabs and kickflips stop bringing in big points
>grab and kickflip specials are good point makers, but grind specials are the best since chaining moves together makes for big points
Getting the high score can be tricky, focus on getting long chains of grinds and manuals that finish off on a ramp grab move or kickflip move if you can. It's ok to spend some time in the pipe doing grab/kickflip spins, but you won't get the huge point multipliers you get with chained moves. As a prime example on the first level, try grinding over the pipe in the center right of where you start, and jumping off the grind into a manual, then making it to the halfpipe on the other side. Do it again on the way back. Then try just doing pipe tricks in the center pipe. See the difference in points for yourself.

>that one location in Skater Heaven with the concrete benches you can literally get million point chains with
>that one part in THPS1's downhill Dam level where you can glitch on the wall and sit there and spin around and do tricks for as long as you like, and you can actually get the points if you manage to land it

In the UK at least the Tony Hawk demos were clearly really popular so the song was drummed into players' heads.
The demo for THPS was used a bunch of times in the official magazine - for issue 49 and, weirdly, issues 78 & 92. 'Weirdly' because THPS2 already had playable demos in issues 59 and 68 so they were put back in just because they'd fill the disc but also because people clearly liked them.
THP2 also had demos in issue 90, 97 and 100, all of which came out after THPS3 which had no demo (not even on the PS2 demo discs).
For the most part the rest of Europe's demo discs followed ours so I'd say it was the same reason for them too.

2 was the best in the series. It perfected the formula developed in one where it was about risk vs reward, getting as much as you could out of big air and trying to tame your own greed.

After 2 it just became all about autistic two minute long manuals.

I should mention that even though you could do manuals in 2, the devs hadn't figured out how broken they were. High scores and levels were still designed for you to play normal Tony Hawk's Pro Skater, not Rodney Mullen's Fantastic Manual Aventure.
