Personally I think THPS3 moves should stay in THPS3 period. Same with 1&2, you shouldn't able to manual on 1's maps, but from the looks of it that is exactly what they've done.

Of course you can manual in 1's maps... Why wouldn't you? That was the whole point of 2x.

I've been playing through Tony Hawk 1 and 2 for PS1 on my PS3 in anticipation of the PS3 HD remake. It's incredibly gratifying watching myself improve at the first game, which is hard to come back to after later installments. Falling/crashing less now, and I just cleared Downhill Jam!
I have been calling around locally, and can't find a copy of THPS3 on PS2. Definitely wouldn't mind playing that again (played it originally on the Gamecube.) I'm down for HD remakes of Canada and the Airport, but disappointed they chose LA over The Foundry and Tokyo.
And in testing out that Android app, AutoRap, I created this in the middle of my hunt for THPS3.

Hate to go on a tangent, but if this HD game has done anything it's been to rekindle my interest in the series again.
Just ordered 2x. Was wondering if anyone could tell me how well 3 and 4 and THUG 2 hold up on the 360 BC? Per the wiki 3 is okay at a certain resolution, but 4 has some glitches and THUG 2 will act up from time to time. Are they still really playable (bad phrasing I know)?
Should I still get the XBOX versions, or go for Gamecube (which per Jeff G. himself in the Gamestop days, the GC versions have frame rate issues)?
PC is not an option for me. Sorry.

I play 2x, 3, and both THUGs at 480p and they work perfectly fine BC.
I wouldn't go with the GameCube version because of its tiny d-pad (unless you play with the analog stick).Hate to go on a tangent, but if this HD game has done anything it's been to rekindle my interest in the series again.

Am I the only one that is wondering why the original 6 TH games were never released on Steam? C'mon Valve, release these suckers on Steam already! I have them on disc but, well, I do discs anymore
licensing issues (soundtracks, skaters...)

I just got ranked 49th on the Warehouse Worldwide Leaderboards. It was exhilarating. I think overall i still prefer the THPS3 mechanics and rule set. There was some pretty important advancements made with 3 that are noticeable absent when playing HD. I wonder how they adress this with the THPS3 DLC Pack. Also the game just feels rushed and half assed.
Things Robomodo should consider when making the THPS3 DLC.

- Big Drop. I hate that so much. It damn near ruins levels such as Down Hill Jam. Who thought that was a good idea?
- Make it so that we can assign Special Manuals to the Y/Grind button. The reason they allowed you to do that in THPS3 and beyond was so that you didn't accidentally do a trick before hitting the ground and crashing.
- Why does the manual meter mirror itself when i do manual to nose manual? Im not talking about the meter itself (Green to Red), but the bar that im balancing within it. If im doing a manual with the meter towards the top and then i jump into a nose manual, that meter is now towards the bottom. It throws me off so much. In THPS3 the green and red meter would flip, but the actual balance bar would stay where you left it.
- Allow the Special Meter to fill up as soon as your start comboing. In THPS3, you would be able to do Specials mid-combo because the meter had filled up by then. In HD you have to do a small trick/combo in order to utilize Specials in your next big combo.
- Allow the Special Meter to continue to fill up after using a Special mid combo. In HD, the Special Meter doesn't grow at all, but rather just slowly dwindles down. So really you only have about 15 sec to do them.

haha, i wonder if it was a left over from Tony Hawk Ride. I never played it.

Your better off with THPS3 or THPS4 I'd bet.
I like it, but there are some problems with the physics..
Won't lie, getting it mostly to relive some of the memories of the first two games (especially THPS2). As long as the gameplay is serviceable, I'll be contented.

How could it be left over when it was in the original game first?
I think the game is far from being as good as the old ones, but now I want more Tony Hawk. I think the last game in the series I played was Tony Hawk's Proving Ground. Are the newer games good or I shouldn't bother playing them?
I hate the Big Drop and I hate more the issues with the Special Meter. If you are making a long combo, forget about making Special Tricks after a few seconds, and that sucks.
Maybe I'll give the game another chance when the THPS3 DLC is up. I hope they fix a lot of things

Didn't know that. I played the game over the winter on Dreamcast and dont remember it at all. Sorry.
You can hit A to keep from bailing on big drops. Unless you mean having to hit A still ruins it D:

Congrats man. Ill keep that in mind when i play later tonight. Right now im running 3 special grinds, 1 manual and 1 air. Whats your setup?

That was the key to scoring in THPS1 & 2.
I learned so much from Dr. Zeus on planettonyhawk.com back in the day. The first time I got over a million points in a combo I never looked back.

I have the 900, Heelflip Underflip, and 3 grinds.
To start off, I flip around until I get a special, then 900 over the rails on the start, then manual/grind until my base is high. Then you just have to keep reflipping into a manual!
I've never heard of Dr. Zeus, but you've intrigued me!
Thanks. That seemed to do the trick (no pun intended). Can't land it everytime, but it definitely works.

Dang, heard this game could be delayed even till september. Wth Activision, the series started on Playstation and you treat us like this.

It was actually Dr Zaius (apparently I can't spell). I'm sure there were better players but he was the one who discovered so many lines on those early levels. Without him I never would have discovered Wallriding into a Christ Air followed by a ridiculous multitude of chained grinds and manuals.

don't worry, it could have been a good game being held back for MS's Summer of Arcade promotion.

Sorry if this have been answered before:
Does this game support custom soundtracks? I know the 360 does (by default), does the PS3 version support them?

PSN version here.
What a fucking piece of shit. I knew it wasn't good, yet I bought it because I really crave some classic TH lately. But I should've ordered the original 2 PSX games for nostalgia sake.
This game is even worse than I thought. The framerate is probably worse than the original TH PSX disc. The camera is very close by and I just can't see a damn thing in the warehouse level. There is also near-Capcom like tearing going on here.
Don't buy this shit.

My video review of THPS HD.
It's fun but it isn't a well done "HD remake" of the old Tony Hawk games in my opinion.

Oh. That makes me think the PSN version is a lot rougher than the 360 version, because I didn't notice any tearing while playing it on the 360.
