Got this game yesterday, planning to write a review of it at some point. It draws parallels with Sonic 4: Episode 1 in a lot of ways.

[PoppySquidJr]

IMO Proving Grounds is still more fun. Hate all you want, I like Proving Grounds still.
Nonetheless, grab THPS 2x. cheaper, more stuff. :P

I wish I could. I can't find a PAL copy for crap! All of the copies of it on eBay are from the U.S., and I'm in Australia. Also, some of them cost $50 USD!? Haha, any ideas where I could find a PAL copy of it?

[Antwan]

Just Grabbed The THPS HD Trial game..
Whattt
You have to ollie before you fliptrick?
I don't remember this at all.

Any Exploits yet?
I'd love unlimited time until I buy it haha

Skate until 0:31 left on the timer -> press Start -> Retry

2x is an US release only

[fallingskyline]

i have a copy of 2x lying around, too bad i don't have a ntsc xbox to play it, since i sold my modded xbox years ago...

[fallingskyline]

i ended up buying thps hd, for the sake of it... playing through it, till i have 100% on each lvl. so far i've copmpleted the first four levels. i hate combomambo, luckily there are no combo goals given <3

[MarcoPoloUSN]

for the life of me, i can't get 15 manuals in one combo on school ii with rodney mullen... its an achievement. i think i suck.

You're halfway right, halfway wrong.

Actually its not that hard to combo, but the balance meter is really the worst of any TH game. It sometimes makes you bail whereas its still indicating that your manual balance is not fucked up yet.

I'm a HUGE THPSer, I won't do a review of this game, but I'd say its a good game for its price. The main problem is that its supposed to be "arcade huge fun" and that it ended up that its just "arcade and a bit fun". What I mean => The gameplay is cool, but its LESS enjoyable than even the 1st TH episode, cause of that balance meter issue and cause of wallrides (they are way harder to get, which always makes me angry. Losing a combo for such a reason aint no fun).

Just my opinion, but if doing a remake was a great idea, coming back to the THPS1 and 2 gameplay wasn't. Reverts and abilities like going off your board were improvements, it wasnt what killed the TH serie.

Look at me doing a total improvisation of TH American Wasteland:



THPS HD => killed the fun I could have.

The online got killed too compared to THP3/4,THUG1,THUG2,THAW: No lobby system, 4 players max (8 before), and when the timer reaches the zero, you can't watch others continue their combo (or be watched by others if its you). Watching others show off was nice, be seen too. Even if its not your opinion, you can't say that what's happening in THPS HD ( => after 0, your see your character "freezing" in nose manual stance, and you wait...2, 5, 10, 30 seconds...) is better.

THPS HD => killed the fun I could have (bis).

As a result, I like it as a skateboarding game, fun to play, nice music etc... but we're in 2012, and i don't understand why they wanted to do a remake without putting all the improvements in.

A THPS3 DLC with reverts available is nice...but they won't work in non-DLC levels...

[SpadedOne]

I won on a scratcher so I picked up THPSHD.
There are just too many bad choices that were made here.
No splitscreen anything?
I just 100% the game with Andrew Reynolds. I can only play all the levels with Andrew. If I want to play Marseille with Nyjah, I have to play all the way through the game again. Bad choice.
Seriously?
This really could have been an amazing arcade title with just a few little changes.
The nostalgia doesn't hold up very long and when it runs out, you can't even play the character you want on the level you want.
Maybe they can address some of these problems with the DLC or a patch or something.

[agusbmxarg]

Lol noodle I used to play online on East LA all the time. My record is like 273millions or sumthin like that. Still can do all those buttslaps, neuroplants, vertical np's, vsws and shit.
I wasn't very good at prov tho. I just knew the lines for each map, and then maybe I changed them a lil bit.

I literally did the same thing, all with Reynolds as well. Was pretty pissed about how you can't freeskate any level with any character after you beat all the levels with one.
And another stupid thing is after I beat all the challenges, and maxed out my stats, I wanted to just freeskate, went to lower my stats so I don't ollie 10 feet high and you can't edit them once you've set them all the way up, was pretty pissed at that.
It seems like the base idea is there, but theres a lot they forgot to think about with this game. Hopefully theres an update where they make it so if you unlock levels with a character you can freeskate in those levels with any character, I really don't feel like doing all the challenges 2,3,4...etc. times over.

Also, has anyone done all the projectives with a character yet? Any unlocks?

[m.seven]

hearing more bad than good about this game...think i'll use my $15 for a dime bag and a tall boy

[NotedDerk]

Noodlezer couldn't have summed it up any better.
I don't regret buying the game one bit, still going to play it from time to time.
Robomodo just has a lot to learn and improve on, if they expand it further.

[Noodlezer]

Well, actually, this game is just "not what it could easily have been", but I wouldn't recommend not to buy it, cause it's still a nice game! For $15, which good game do you have? Trials HD/evolution, and...? Not a lot.

If you enjoy skateboarding (and you're here, so you do), you'll have more fun playing this $15 game than a lot (most?) of $50/70 games.

Let's say that for us its a good alternative to Skate3, like when nobody's online and you have no inspiration at all for tricks or filming

[SpadedOne]

I just 100% the game again this morning with Rodney Mullen. Took about 2 hours.
Hopefully Robomodo will listen to the consumer and fix some of these small, non-gameplay problems.
This game has such incredible potential.

[m.seven]

i'll definately try the demo just to see how it feels before i decide to buy it or not,but i'd much rather be able to play any level with any skater instead of having to go beat it with each skater

Just create an online session in free skate mode, and there you go

[Antwan]

I like Rodney Mullen's Trick setup
I don't know if you can change all that but I couldn't be bothered to look
I've got this now if anyone wants to get down on it

ANTWANthePAWN on Xbox

I'm still warming up to the awkward controls but I can do something like a 300k Combo at my highest haha
I have noticed you can do a bit of popless, I really hate the fliptrick animations but you can no comply/boneless into banks very smooth, Airwalk plant the side of buildings and even airwalk right when you're about to land flat
I'm still messing with it and It is a lot of work making things look legit there are a ton of things I advise against for realism
but The game is what it is, I still enjoy it

[pawnluvguitarist]

yeah still waiting for it to drop on PS3. I see myself just playing as Mullen, hope i can get a little enjoyment out of it.

Man I Don't know if I believe this.. some dude at gamestop today tried to tell me he doesn't know if this is coming out on Playstation.. Didn't it start on playstation? I'm not sure about all that maybe he just doesn't know what's up.

I'm not sure what your aim is for play style pawn but I think you will enjoy figuring out popless stuff
There are a few tricks I haven't done low yet but It looks to be doable through practice.
Grabs right before flat are fun. I'm sure you will find your own things too.. I was all about arcade when this game was popular so I'm not really looking at all of it with the focus you might.

[pawnluvguitarist]

Last I heard the PS3 release should be the last week of August or first of September.

Yeah man, you could always do popless, I remember building parks in THAW and setting things up for it. Always kinda skated the same way in the THPS series as Skate, was just always a lot easier to do exactly what you wanted to do in Skate.

The PS3 version comes out on August 28th.

[bunnybcitu]

It's alright.. If you play it like THPS2 it can be enjoyable for a week or so but after that you realize all that's glitchy about the gameplay and lose hope. Want the dlc.
