hopefully not the same team that did Tony Hawk's Pro Skater HD on PS3

It's Vicarious Visions, so no

Vicarious Visions is the team behind it

Does that mean Tony Hawk is a Skylander

Goldfinger is still riding that Superman train, they did a stay-at-home version where they all played their parts from their living rooms and they all look so much like suburban dads now

i'm happy they still have a career tho i hope they get all the music rights back so it doesn't feel soulless like the HD ports

Pretty awesome that Vicarious Visions cut their teeth nearly 20 years ago doing GBA versions of games like Crash and Tony Hawk, and now they're a trusted name for these big HD remakes of games in those series. I'll pick this up in a heartbeat if the gameplay is faithful to the old games, which if CTR is any indication it will be!

The article said that they started with Neversoft's original physics and modified them to add new things so I'm hopeful but we'll see!

It also said that they're bringing back the level creator which is awesome for a game like this. Was that originally in THPS2? I thought it came later in the series but maybe not

I don't think I've ever actually seen or played 2. My entire circle of friends had 3, and I put well over 100 hours into it, but it was all about 3 and 3 only.

I wouldve liked this to have 3 as well so then they could do 4-UG2 as a follow up collection. The rest (and even THUG2 to an extent) can stay in the past.

Looks a tiny bit more floaty than the original series based on that trailer, but that could be a trick of the graphics.

Guess it'll be tough to tell either way until the game's in my hands.

I figure if this is successful we'll get 3+4 and maybe UG1+2 eventually. Though most people only really care for those initial four, so I could see the Underground games being left alone. Kind of doubt they'll do anything with American Wasteland, Project 8, and Proving Grounds.

3+4 is a guarantee if this is successful. I kind of doubt they'll go further than that though. Most fans only really care for those first four titles. Though Underground 1 is considered a cult hit.

Hype but worried they'll fuck it up. That control has to be just right.

I was just the right age for these and it felt like everyone had a copy, especially 2. THPS was under the radar, a lot like Goldeneye at the time.

Whoa it looks beautiful, probably gonna be a day one purchase for me. I barely remember the first two games so it'll be great to experience them again.

I do remember thinking it should have been called Rodney Mullen's Pro Skater

The popularity of the game isnt important here.

Its a combination of you thinking A) Tony Hawk is a sports game, and B) You cant imagine a sports game being rated highly.

Pretty sure skateboarding is a sport. Also there's being rated highly and then there's being one of the highest rated games of all time. That alone is simply ridiculous.

Literally anything involving a physical body and competition is technically "sport", yet THPS is no more a "sports game" than Mario Kart or Call of Duty.

Your argument that it shouldn't be highly rated because it's a "sports game" is illogical on multiple counts.

THPS2 is one of the most genuinely addictive games I've ever played.

The formula never gets old, at least with that one.

fwiw I'd consider it a sports game, but the idea that it's genre alone suggests it should have lower scores regardless of anything else is asinine.
