Yes, 1+2 came out and was phenominal, but Activision merged Vicarious Visions with Blizzard, so I doubt they'll ever do DLC or another game again.

And the older games will NEVER get rereleased due to the literal licensing nightmare it would be to sign off on real people's likeness, music, real brands, secret characters like Darth Maul, and Wolverine, skate videos, among other things. They would have to charge like $300 for a HD collection of all the PS2 games >_> They're basically just stuck on emulators forever.

FUCK!

What does it do differently or better than Tony Hawk?

A good BMX or snowboarding game would be great imo. Dave Mirra was a ton of fun for similar reasons and they never tried to follow it up.

The updated THPS were fun and worth playing.

Far more realistic.

I don't care about doing ridiculous combos for huge points and shit like that in Tony Hawk. I prefer a much more realistic experience.

I like the arcadey style and the combo system where it's a big risk vs. reward of either to land it or keep it going. It's so addicting. If I want realism, I'll go outside and skate lawl

I really just want a full comeback for the extreme sports genre.

None of this "make it a sim/add realism" bullshit, either. Give us exaggerated arenas, insane combos, ridiculous slang and pop-punk bangers or fuck off.

So is it basically Tony Hawk but your character feels heavier and stays in the air for less time so you can only do basic tricks?

Im not bashing it, im genuinely curious how its different because im looking for a new skating game.

it's more physics based, imitating reality. you can't even land on a flat surface safely if you fall more than 20 feet. i play on the most realistic physics setting, so the fun in it for me after all these years is challenging the limitations of the game and skating interesting objects.

for example, you can do realistic, physical stuff like this
https://youtu.be/AExcMk0M3pQ

or go nuts and try stuff like this:
https://youtu.be/y6oQQNOCTYs

either way it's in the realm of reality, and it fills a niche that arcade skating games don't.

here's a better example of something big
https://youtu.be/5-rYnvN6-kE

in tony hawk, a jump like that is nothing, means nothing, might be a gap, maybe. in skate, it has weight, gravity, it takes effort, even down to adjusting the landing. it's just a different kind of game. tony hawk's about score, objectives, crazy things no one can do in real life, whereas skate is chill, grounded, it's a canvas for the player to be creative on

THPS and Skate are super great. THPS is there if I just want to have some crazy fun. Skate is for when I'm in a more realistic mood. Getting a huge combo in THPS is awesome, but doing a relatively simple gap/line/combo right it feels so much sweeter when you do it right in Skate. Doing more insane stuff right and landing it in Skate feels like you made an awesome accomplishment. Plus, it's just cool riding around and chilling out.

Tony Hawk destroys Skate.
It's about as black and white as video game vs generic realistic sim junk gets.

My favorite was THUG2, I could run laps of that Berlin level just doing combos for hours.

Skate tried too hard to be realistic.

Tony Hawk is easier to grab and play.

not hard to see why some people prefer the latter... lol

it didn't "try too hard" at anything. you can simply not like something without trying to attack it and pretend there's something wrong just because you weren't good at it

And I still play THUG2. I don't even have THUG pro. There is only one.
Don't get hyped for any new game.

Would be cool to see skating games make a comeback, but like someone else said, I'd want other extreme sports too. A new excitebike is what is like to see. Haven't really dove into VR much yet, but I imagine a downhill snowboard/ski game would be awesome.

Steep was a cool game, it had good snowboarding and skiing. Riders Republic is basically Steep 2, but i hated it, they just crammed a bunch of different sports in there and none of them felt polished
