>release the same game evry year before it was cool>for some reason its okay???
>>681478889Cause 1. Sequels came out faster back then2. They were fucking good
Because the formula is close to perfect as one can get. Just get me an updated soundtrack and new locales and I'm happy.
>every year before it was cooli implore you to look at sport games on the PSX
THPS2 was the peak. Eevrythign past was a band overstaying its welcome, like Metallica.
>>681479442THUG2 was the peak. American Wasteland was okay though.
>>681479442THPS3 was the peak, go fuck yourself.imagine shitting on the game that added reverts, stupid faggot
>>681478889From THPS1 to THUG it seemed like every version was genuinely different/improvement. But releasing them so quickly probably did cause a lot of burnout over the whole thing. It was probably the best decision though, skating wasn't going to keep that height of popularity forever.
>>681478889technology and mechanics were always improving in the late 90's so you were always getting new, better stuff each game.
>>681478889Every new game had new mechanics and environments, and didn't take 14 years to develop.
>>681480740what about THUG2?>captcha: SKTSWM
>>681483351THUG2 is alright but it's clear the series was starting to go downhill from here.Also all the levels suck in that game.
>>681483351nta but the best part of thug2 was the classic mode. the actual story mode is gay and trying too hard to be PG jackass
IN MY HEADITS GETTING BETTER ALL THE TIMEITS GETTING BETTER ALL THE TIMEIM GETTING YOUNGER IN MY MIND.
HE DROVE SO GODDAMNED FASTNEVER DID WIN NO CHECKERED FLAGSBUT HE NEVER DID COME IN LAST
>>681483351THUG2 came out at a time where skateboarding was waning in popularity/relevance. It was already on its way out in the first THUG, even, but the second game tried to capitalize on the new popular thing, which at the time was MTV bullshit like Jackass.
>>6814788892 added manuals3 added reverts4 had a free roaming career mode with no time limitTHUG added a story mode and yet another mechanic to string combos together with manuals and revertsDon't be retarded.
>>681483351I don't think THUG2 really brought anything new to the series, it was just more THUG, this time with more Jackass.
>>681478889THPS3/Project 8 are the best 2 games. American Wasteland for third.
>>681486253>natas spin on poles, fire hydrants, etc.>flips & rolls, as in frontflipping you entire character>instead of driving shitty vehicles, characters that can zoom very fast - like riding a chainsaw skateboard, doing tricks on a wheelchair, etc.thug2 is still better than thug1 because you don't have to drive a shit car, holy shit are thug1 faggots retarded
>>681486659Natas spin and flips don't add anything significant. Random characters to play as just end up being gimmicks. Like Spyro or Crash running out of ideas and just scrapping the bottom of the barrel for anything new. The vehicles in THUG1 were stupid though.
>>681486916The best part of American Wasteland was scrapping the gimmicky vehicles and replacing them with a straight port of the BMX physics of Matt Hoffman. Man, I wish instead of THUG2 or THAW they had done a Hawk vs Hoffman game
people bitched about it by the third and fourth onlinebut you are an underage b& and weren't around for itkys
What are the best versions of each game?
>>681487268>uses kys>pretends to have been around for it
THPS1 all the way to TH:AW was the greatest string of yearly release slop in the history of games. Nothing even comes close. 6 straight years of good-great games.
>>681479442This >>681480545THPS3 was perfect in every wayEvery following sequel added unnecesary things(but they were still really good usually just not a 10/10)
>>681487216>Hawk vs Hoffman gameTony Hawk actually talked about that in an interview with a french gaming site back when thps3 and hoffman 2 were around. he said it would be fun online.
>>681478889Also>>681487574OP is retarded>same game every yearNew maps in every gameNew mechanics added in every gameNew skaters added in every gameand lots of more shit.They are legit yearly sequels not copy paste slop
>>681487551I'm 34
>>681478889It didn't work infinitely.
>>681480740Does someone know why they seemed the drop the ball when moving from ps2 to ps3 gen? The series peaked after moving from ps1 to ps2 but did the dev team chance when moving to ps3 or did they not know how to take full advantage of it? Or were they legit out of ideas but it didn't have anything to do with the console gen?
>>681484801You can argue that in thug1, thug2 and thaw they only really added non-skating features, tho it's hard to see it as a flaw that they allowed you to get off the board to go up the stairs for example or climb to the roof because it made sense in every way.
>>681487268no one, and i mean absolutely no one, was bitching about 3 online when it came out. i genuinely don't understand what you'd get out of making up a random lie like this.
>>681487475all subjective opinions>THPS1Dreamcast >THPS2PC with the cumulative patch and korean content mod or xbox if you dont mind the nerfed menu and balance gauge>THPS3/THPS4/THUG/THUG2patched PC, though you're not missing out much by playing the gamecube/xbox versions for games other than thps3>THAWxbox 360 OR PS2 special edition/modded PC if you really care about the extra stuff>any game past thatdont bother. hell, if i were you i'd just play THUG Pro.
>>681488149people liked 3 but started to talk about getting tired of yearly WW2 shooters/sports games/etc
>>681488416>patched PCcan you provide me some links anon?
>>681487745I was thinking of something more like THUG2, Tony and Matt decide to have a friendly competition between pro skaters and pro BMXers, and you as the player choose which team you're on and partake in a series of missions/challenges around the world absolutely rekking shit whilst trying to prove once and for all whether skateboarding or BMX is the best.
>>681488759i personally bought discs, but they're all on myabandonware i think. as for the patches, look up pcgaminwiki
>>681488759also, look up reTHAWed
>>681488880thanks anon
>>681488716People didn't start talking negatively about yearly sports roster updates and fortnightly WW2 FPS games until around 2005-2006. When THPS3 launched the whole WW2 FPS fad had only just started, CoD hadn't even debuted yet. Hell, it predates the game that inspired CoD, MoH Allied Assault.
>>681489073eh maybe I was thinking after the fact then
>>681483351Jumped the shark
>>681483351It has the most content which makes it the best for me.Also, how come this song never made it into any TH game? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1AS56v2am6Y
>>6814794421>3>underground>>>>>>>2
>>681478889Back then sequels were mostly reusing assets and then creating new mechanics and maps. Sometimes they'd update the textures or models but not much.
>>681491838>1 ranked firstno.
Yeah, and?
>>681479408>PSXWhy are zoomers like this?
>>681489180it should be harder to backpedal on a lie when called out on bullshit. thps3 came out in fucking 2001 and it was universally seen as an improvement in every way over thps2 at the time. not even madden was getting that treatment
>>681496234nigga calm down I was misremembering
