They "have a concept of a plan."

tony hawk retired skater. You choose from a variety of now elderly former pro skaters and try to skate and do tricks for points as before but each skater not only has unique stats but unique health and fitness issues generally due to old age.

"This is the back pain meter, a revolutionary new game mechanic we added. Every trick you do increases the gauge and when it's finally full you go home cause holy shit this hurts.

I'm guessing it's maybe because of the cell-shading artstyle?🤔

Can't wait to buy a new board cosmetic for $3 and then change the wheels out for another $1.50.

I would love to see level designs like the original games, but with mechanics closer to Skate instead of THPS's original arcadey style controls. Even the good remake feels old because of the stiff animations and how you lock onto rails and such.

Though I mean having Tony Hawk attached to it doesn't actually mean anything to me. I just want a good, modern, skateboard game that translates what it's really like to do skateboard tricks into something I can perform with a controller really well and feels smooth as butter doing it.

I mean the main reason the series died was because it stopped being innovative in the concept of "skateboarding video game."

There's Session or SkaterXL. I know in Session each thumb stick controls each foot, and you can tweak the settings to be as arcadey or as realistic as you want.

The only real downside is the lack of extensive music playlist in the game.

Someone got on with Skate? I loved THPS but when I tried Skate it was dull and boring. Probably managed 10 mins then never played again.

On what tho? People were like “holy shit 1+2 was exactly what we wanted now make 3+4” and they were like “no :3”

All they had to do was keep adding the games as DLC.

I'm going to assume whatever they're talking about either involves a tatty plastic peripheral, or some predatory mobile bollocks.
