What do you do to ruin and rip the sovl completely out of it?

>>718170819 (OP)

leave it to irongate to do the remake

>>718170819 (OP)
Change it

I haven't played them so I feel like right man for a job
>add microtransaction store in main menu
>remove half the soundtrack
>cap FPS at 30
>add some lens flares, and other unreal unity lighting bullshit
>replace atleast one skater with fat black woman or tranny

>>718170819 (OP)
>soundtrack is now AI slop
>online multiplayer with matchmaking only; no more singleplayer
>"Who's Tony Hawk?" memes shoehorned in everywhere
>microtransactions and season pass for skateboard decks and other cosmetics
>no unlockables are tied to gameplay anymore, just more microtransactions

Why haven't I seen anyone talk about the THPS 3+4 remake? I didn't get it because they gutted THPS4 but I got the impression that THPS4 was hated anyway.

No Jackass antics

Make ur rival a girl. Erica Sparrow

>>718170819 (OP)
remove the ending where Eric shows up with his giganiga slave and you punch him in the face

>>718171172
The original THPS4? I always liked it personally. You don't see anyone talking about it because it was a nothingburger game and devs were absolutely shameless with the product placements in it.

Also they never planned to have Bam (a staple in Tony Hawk games) until Tony told them to. And they tried to play it off like he was going to be in it all along.

>>718171474
>absolutely shameless with the product placements
it's a fucking skateboarding game... the entire sport is product placement for these board and clothing brands

>>718171606
Sorry I didn't know taco bell was synonymous with the skateboarding culture

>>718171172
Because outside of Foundry and Airport THPS3 isn't that good.

>>718171606
>the entire sport is product placement for these board and clothing brands
Your idea of skateboarding comes from the x-games I think

>>718171474
>That cheer when he says Taco Bell is in the game
Physically disgusted.

>>718170819 (OP)
I NEED to feel some ambition from this if they ever decide to remake it. If it has the same exact fucking animations and physics as 1+2 and 3+4 my interest is immediately gone. It needs to feel like a real game and not like a map pack for 1+2.

I want good looking animations, good sound design, nice and impactful physics but still keep it arcadey.

>>718171683
I didn't know Monster Energy was either but it's literally unavoidable in skate culture and has been for 10 years. All I'm saying is skateboarding has had this product placement problem since the beginning and it gets worse every year

>It's not enough that I consume myself with actual bullshit
>I must also make up bullshit to consume myself
Be better anon.

Personally give me a remake of THAW, make it bigger, an actual interconnected world and improve all the customization.

I remove 2/3rds of the customization options and add them in as DLC packs.

Fuck bud yer forgetting aboot Canada eh? 10 ply buddy

Tony Hawk, the guy on the box, is famous for doing a 900 at the x games. the games were always leaning into the corporate tournament stuff. Underground was the only time they tried to move away from that and it's universally seen as the best in the series (except UG2 having better gameplay)
and the story still culminates with you winning the fucking xgames

>>718170819 (OP)
i make sure that 50% of pedestrians on every level is black or a woman like they did in 3+4

Unrelated but Time To Go is the best song in the game and it's not even a close contest.

I can think of a single tranny skater and like a million white dudes so I don't know what the fuck you're talking about

>>718170819 (OP)
-Eric is black
-Main character is hispanic
-No in depth customization
-Just unlockable stereotypical outfits
-2 minute timer to skate around and do goals
-No drivable cars
-Have to beat the game to unlock pro goals
-Cutscene of punching Eric is gone
-Eric is completely justified in stealing your helicopter jump tape
-New character, overweight LGBT friendly girlfriend character, identifies as xer
-She's lowkey the main character and you're the sidekick

>>718172191
That's a good song, def getting cut though

>>718172340
Sadly, same with a lot of other god-tier tracks like:
>California Babylon
>Mommy's Little Monster
>(I Wanna) Pierce My Brain
>Like The Angel
>Run Fat Boy Run
>The Separation of Church and Skate
>2RAK005
>She Said

>>718172524
and replaced with this

https://youtu.be/K4nNteBBs34?si=udDCQhBKynp6qxfM

dialogue is the same whether you're male or female and NPCs all they/them you
stuffed with ironic jokes, pop culture references (at least one rick and morty quote) and fourth wall breaking "jokes" about it being a remake
character creator doesn't even have normal male or female presets and makes you pick from randomly generated fugly mystery meat characters with mixed sex characteristics (skate reboot actually does this one)
use 1/4 songs from the original and 3/4 awful zoomer music that completely clashes in tone, for extra injury don't include a day at the races but pick a random other song from the original and spam it like it was "the song" even though it wasn't
add deep car customization to the racecar you only drive twice for 5 minutes and attach some microtransactions to it

>>718172040
I see what you're saying but THPS games were very corporatized and they're an inaccurate depiction of the sport itself. If you tell a skater that you shop at zumiez instead of your local they execute you right then and there in front of everybody while shouting something about "pushing mangos". Most hated when it was trendy like that. They were pretty ruthless to the wave of posers the x games shit brought to the sport.

>>718172740
>for extra injury don't include a day at the races

This would actually infuriate me

>>718172871
THUG introducing me to J5 might actually be the best thing it did for my life

I just want a direct port of THUG 1 and 2 on Steam with nothing changed from their original PS2 release state.

>>718170819 (OP)
you dont need a remake the game still
fun the game dont change age

>>718172287
There's a tranny skater in 3+4 AND "he" was in 1+2 already, just no one really noticed because no one played as anyone except the old skaters + Custom Skater, savior of skateboarding.

>>718173001
Honestly this is realistically the best possible outcome in my opinion. The trick animations in THUG1 are perfect, while the trick animations in 1+2/3+4 are really ugly. They haven't had good trick animations since like THUG2.. I don't know if it's reliance on motion capture or what but everything looked waaaay fucking better on THPS4-THUG2 than anything after those.
Then there's also the fact that the old games had server browsers, observer mode, custom restarts, server hosts able to start and customize games whenever they want, text chat, etc. All of those things seem verboten in modern games.

>>718170819 (OP)
Change the story so that the pros of then are no longer in the game except for Tony; all of them are vomit inducing new blood like Nyjah Huston. Story is about getting into the X-Games and maybe the olympics. No Hawaii tape. No Eric because he's too mean, no conflict; you have no rival and everyone is cheering you on instead. All music replaced with mumblerap.

>>718172195
Utterly obsessed

Cops push mongo

>>718174917
nta but wow it's almost like people want to go back to a time when troons didn't take over everything in order to push their agenda and make everyone miserable

>>718175242
Maybe but what does it have to do with Tony Hawk’s Underground?

>>718170819 (OP)
>Activision
Activision doesn't make games, they make digital storefronts

>>718175323
I mean he did mention that the game would run like shit and yeah i'd imagine that if it was rebuild by a troon who was more obsessed with adding in dumb virtue signaling shit than making a functional game.

>>718171076
>>remove half the soundtrack
this will probably happen just because music licensing in games seems to be cancer

>>718172195
>seething about men dressed as women ruining skateboarding
>there's like one tranny pro skater in the whole of skateboarding (leo baker) and they're an afab they/them
thanks for being a fool :3

>>718171718
completely agree most of the maps in that game were kinda meh

>>718170819 (OP)
Get rid of Eric Sparrow and replace him with a supportive trans mentor

when does tony hawk ever go underground though

>>718176894
he doesn't but there's a guy who looks a lot like him called Tony Hawk who I once met riding the subway, which goes underground.
I said "hey you look like tony hawk" and he said "that's my name" and chuckled and I said "funny that" and then we went on with our journeys.

>>718175786
Music licensing kept alpha protocol off digital storefronts for like 8 years over one fucking song from the 80s, music licensing in THUG is gonna be far, far, far worse.

>>718177502
Shame because THUG probably is the best licensed music soundtrack of any game in my opinion, and foundational to my taste in music.

>>718177502
>take tracks out you cant get license to
>add a custommusic folder
>drag mp3s or shortcuts in there wink wink
>shuffle treats these files just as equal to the included ost
>players can just restore soundtrack themselves
is this so fucking hard

>>718170819 (OP)
Probably do what most half baked remakes do and slap high resolution textures over everything while not really improving the polygon count do the everything looks like it's half rendered instead of HD. Oh and add some pandering to a bunch of people because for some reason corporations think this helps sales to pander to people who will never buy your products

Jokes aside can you imagine a THUG3? Half the shit in this thread would probably come true.

>>718178038
>play total annihilation
>open CD tray
>put in my favourite CD
remember what they took from you...

>>718178216
American Wasteland was gonna be THUG3 originally

>>718175786
music licensing in general is cancer

>>718178396
In my mind it basically is.

>>718178216
American Wasteland is basically THUG3
It’s better than 2 but 1 is still the best

For me

THPS4 > THUG1 = THUG2 > THPS3 > THPS2 > THAW > THPS1 > games i haven't played

All of them are good but this is in order of what I come back to the most. THAW has more features than 2 but 2 has Spider-Man.

>>718171172
There isn't much to talk about. It's the 1+2 mechanics, almost entirely unchanged, in maps from 3 and 4. It's competent, but it's missing a lot of the soundtrack from 4, and even though it wasn't a dealbreaker for me, removing the career mode from 4 was exactly that for a lot of other people. It's decent, but totally hollow, and the character models and levels really never needed to be realistic. I wish they chose to go with a heavy stylization for these remakes to give them a unique appeal in comparison to the originals. 1+2 at least had the benefit of updating the mechanics to the standard of 4, but that matters a lot less with 3, and is totally irrelevant in the case of 4. Really, the only value the THPS 4 remake offers over playing the original is if you really didn't vibe with the career mode and always wished it stuck with the 2 minute format.
In essence, a disappointment that wouldn't have been such a problem if 3 had been released as DLC for 1+2 like they had planned and VV got to remake 4 from the ground up.

We were fucking robbed when they rolled VV into the Blizzard mines, despite making the only profitable product of 2020. What the fuck were they thinking?

>>718175182
Big mistake, you punks.

really don't want a THUG remake in the vein of 1+2 but i would be open to a reboot with a new story and characters and the same basic concept as the original.
i still don't think they could do it without fucking it up, but at least it wouldn't tarnish the original.
