What do you think of THPS2 /vr/? I know it tends to be highly rated but I never see it talked about here.

Favourite skater? Favourite level? My choices have to be Geoff Rowley, seeing as he's from my city which amazed me when I was young, and a toss up between School 2 and Skate Heaven.

Rodney Mullen, School 2

I literally dropped out of high school to play THPS1 with my best friend all day (and got in trouble/put on probation after a couple months). Once the demo for THPS2 came out it almost happened to me again.

So yeah, great game.

>>4116452
I disagree. Bad Religion - You
>>
>>4116452
>>4116460
BASS, HOW LOW CAN YOU GO

Bad Religon are great though, as is the whole soundtrack. To be honest, the Tony Hawk games up to Underground have had a massive influence on my muisc taste.
>>
Very fun but I preferred the later games because I liked doing vert tricks more than street skating.
>>
>>4116460
>Rodney Mullen
>School 2

This right here. His video was insane. I immediately tried doing all the freestyle/street tricks like casper slides and dark slides at home.

It blew my mind when you beat the game as Spiderman and unlocked his video, it was actually spiderman skateboarding, how awesome is that?

Thank god for custom soundtracks.

amazing games.

I'm so disappointed with Activision for fucking up THPS5. it was retarded on their part. all they needed to do was give it a decent budget and team, and they could have revitalised the franchise and made many more millions on it. fucking retarded, just shows laziness and a total lack of faith. that's definitely a huge opportunity they floundered for absolutely no reason.
>>
>>4119380
They were going to lose the license and just wanted to milk it one last time. They're capable in putting money into a project like Crash Remake.
>>
>>4119380
ive been disappointed since proving ground lol. that plus the shred games were shit too. downhill jam was great tho. underrated entry. its like SSX but on skateboards.
>>
>>4116460
Rodney Mullen, Skatestreet Ventura (not favorite, just highest score at over 7 million. 5 million+ on every other level. School 2 heavy favorite indeed.)

Bad Religion - You above all. Have to spend every dollar super-wisely for those special moves, but maintain an excellent style by means of careful selection.
>>
>>4116694
Judging by the lanky frame and overall build / style, I'd always assumed it was Tony Hawk himself in the costume as a part of the licensing deal. Neversoft was probably there smoking weed, with some guy taking notes.
>>
>>4119197
We made some heady parks. To get a real good build you'd have to make it pretty small though. I made some great ones and so did the others.

We'd make a lot of those exploitable sections where you can come down from a vert air onto a railing that's right on the same x axis as the lip of the ¼- / ½-pipe.
>>
The downhill levels in the first game were my favorite. I was super disappointed when the second game didn't have any.

Favorite level: the school or Venice Beach

This is literally THPS2X on Xbox.

because it plays a lot smoother. the ps1 games control like youre underwater.

I recommend playing the incredible GBA port of THPS2 if you haven't already.

Also, the one thing THPS2 lacks is the original's god-tier theme:

To my knowledge the first tony hawk pro skater was blue, and the second was yellow.
Youre saying you have a blue version of 2?

It is the most charming game of the franchise.

Trust me, it's amazing. While the GBC ports are absolute shovelware, the GBA versions are great, with THPS2 (the first for GBA) being the best by far. It's a few levels short of the full game, but more than makes up for it with an beautiful version of School II and Warehouse from the original.

I've collected all of the mobile ports from my local retro games shop. I play them almost daily (usually in the bathroom). There's something therapeutic about them, especially when I'm trying to solve a problem or I have something on my mind, just to dick around in free skate for 15 minutes.

Here is School II.

I give Vicarious Visions a lot of credit for what they did back then.

why does it matter where a game came out when it's piss easy to mod any xbox and pirate it?
>>
>>4120668
Revert is the best addition to the series since we got manuals in 2. Vert style isn't near useless now for combo-building.
>>
>>4126298
I remember when this first came out along with the gba launch, it was amazing.
>>
>>4126018
Kareem or Jamie Thomas are actually the best to start out with on career mode, they have the best stat spread

>>4126316
Vert ticks have their uses in 2. If you're not ending your combo with a special grab you're doing it wrong.
>>
>>4126298
They also made the Jet Set Radio GBA port based on that engine.

I never realized it was a launch title. I remember watching a friend play it at school and thinking how weird the camera angle was. Now I love 2.5D games.

>>4126557
Wow, I didn't even know there was a GBA port of Jet Grind Radio. I'll definitely have to keep an eye out for it.

That's a great approximation of School 2.
It's a shame about them losing the Opunsezmee rail/stairset, and the suicidal roof gap buildings, but I kinda wish the THPS2 map had that big ledge to bomb from.
>>
I played the shit out of THPS2 and 3. THPS2 on GBA was just as good as the original except for the obvious fact that the GBA can't do the music.
