3 is the most mechanically complete of the pre-THUG games. 2 still has a lot of nostalgia value though

Tony hawk games got progressively more mechanicaly dense all the way up to American Wasteland. So by that alone American Wasteland is best out of all of them.
Thps 3 is best of the pro skater ones.

he said of the pre-thugs retard
thps4 is a proto-thug and obviously everything thug onwards is a thug

@op i like thps1 and 2 on ps1, 2 on pc is cool but you might be too lazy to get it working, 3 on ps2 (3 on pc has worse controls but it's workable), thug is a different thing from thps but thug, thug 2 (pc versions are fine for both) thug 2 remix psp and project 8 ps2 are all fun

Well in that case, they're correct. I agree 3 is the best of the session focused games and THUG 2 for open-world games.

It's actually impressive how they balls up these sorta details. Game thankfully plays fine enough, thanks Vicarious Visions for providing a solid base, but 4's levels really don't suit a 2 minute timer, the new levels are all pretty crap, the soundtrack choices baffle me and it's missing stuff from the old games anyway. Great job Iron Galaxy.

4 is the best because it blends the timed run into free skate perfectly.

Tony Hawk's Underground is the best in the franchise because you can get off your board for positioning which is a critical common aspect of Skateboarding.

The forced timer makes the other games unplayable once you have done away with it.
I cannot be refuted because any argument made will be made under the false pretense that Tony Hawk's Underground isn't the best in the franchise, which is an inherently wrong opinion, making you factually wrong.

Everyone is just gonna pick whichever game they grew up playing. I grew up playing Proskater 4 and loved it. Zoo level was epic, Kona skatepark was fun, Jango Fett + Moon Gravity creating an infinite jetpack trick.

It's not a fuck up. They couldn't secure the rights to the songs. It's not their fault the bands/labels refuse or charge a small fortune for licensing. Hell, Tony Hawk HD was pulled from stores because the license for songs expired, making it illegal for them to continue selling it.

You've got stuff like having Iron Maiden's 2 Minutes To Midnight over Number of the Best or Agent Orange's Everything Turns Grey over Bloodstains. So there's either major contractual weirdness there, or a deliberate cock up,

LOL... NO... You did a bad job because it's all FUCKED UP! They have people """""deving""""" who don't know how the game works + using a level editor that they can't even figure out. KEK
This is why the game is shit lol.

it was completely unplayable shit that seemed like it was made by 1 jeet hired from fiverr who made it in unreal engine in less than a day. If you think that game wasn't a pile of shit total scam, then you are a non-sentient retard.

They didn't consult him on a lot of shit it seems like from his streams. He kept mentioning how he wished he could have helped with some things, like they didn't even bother to ask him.

Reverts were a mistake. There's already the special meter, just make it degrade faster in a combo, and use it as a timer for landing.

>4 is the best because it blends the timed run into free skate perfectly.
Like shit it does. It destroys replayability by making you do each task one by one (which are all timed anyway), whereas in prior games you'd gain mastery over a level and know the route to clear all the goals in a single session by the time you finished with all skaters.

Getting off your board doesn't need to exist in an arcade skateboarding series, and in the free skate games its a shitty solution to problems with approaching NPCs and the lack of a custom restart system.

>>716231334
Tony's just a spokesman, they clearly cocked up and didn't even contact some bands (AAF being on record as such). My guess though is there were budget constraints that fucked it.

Yeah that commenter isn't a dev. He is talking about create a park, and yes it isn't very good at making grinds seamless between different objects like a rail leading into the coping of a quarter pipe for example.

They're all worth playing you fucking faggot. All the way up to at least THUG1, and arguably up to American Wasteland.

Start with 1 and work your way up.

if you're a die-hard maybe, but just casually i don't agree with the "all" sentiment because all is certainly more than you're thinking if you think they're all worth playing
if you specifically mean all the ps1 -> ps2 games up to AW are worth playing that's one thing but you need to be specific, the n64 versions are always shit, the pc versions are always broken and need lots of fixes, but those are just ports, however the ps1 versions of 3/4 are different games (using thps1/2 base with the new maps/mechanics of 3/4 backported) are those worth playing? what about the portables
and while portable thps aren't worth playing, portable thug2 (thug2 remix) definitely is worth playing, despite being a bit of a meme control-wise its additions are good
anyways they're not all worth playing, 4's a skip from me (retards that only played 1 game will disagree but i'm enlightened so your opinion is irrelevant)

Stop being so fucking pedantic, you giant faggot. No one is going to assume that the N64 versions are worth playing over the PS1 versions. No one thinks the Gameboy Color version of THPS is worth playing. No one is going to assume the PS1 versions of 3/4 are worth playing over the PS2 versions (though they ARE worth playing in their own right).

nah, every game you have to specifically recommend a platform and pick and choose because they are very platform dependant, and again 4 is a skip, ps1 4 worth playing? ps2 4 isn't even worth playing lol

For Greatest Hits just play 2 and 3, play 4 if you really want more, then play Underground 1 and 2 if you thought 4 was the best game out of those 3
