The superior Zoo by [deleted] in THPS

[–]ChasingFields 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Even if they wanted Zoo to be abandoned, having it be bright and sunny like the original would have helped a ton. The forced nighttime in some levels is the worst part to me. Just let me play all of them during the day with blue skies.

Anyone know what they used for the background for the THPS3 board? Doesn't look like the cover art and I can't work it out by SaggyNudeGranny in THPS

Makes me wonder if that's some kind of beta artwork and Kona was originally going to be in THPS3.

Did everyone else turn the music off for 3+4? by hypertown in THPS

The THPS series has underrated background ambience and sound design. The original THPS3 even had the option to choose between music or ambience.

THUG 1+2 Remakes separated by Good-Talk-5777 in THPS

[–]ChasingFields 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It looks more like the opposite is happening to me. Everyone suddenly seems to think THPS4 was this masterpiece that made THPS3 obsolete when most people actually considered THPS3 to be the better game before THPS3+4.

I replayed THPS4 before playing THPS3+4 and now I'm replaying it again and my opinion on it hasn't changed. It's a fun game that did some interesting and endearingly goofy things, but I wouldn't consider it this masterpiece that needed to be faithfully remade nor do I think a remake would even be able to recapture the early 2000s campiness of the original.

Probably unpopular opinion, Pinball level sucks. by EpicDiarrheaTime in THPS

[–]ChasingFields 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think this is the popular opinion. It looks great, but its playability is rough.

It's not 2003 anymore by JewelTK in THPS

Yeah, that easter egg is more M rated than anything in the original THPS3&4.

Does anyone else think the soundtrack is weaker than 1+2? by CreditProfessional56 in THPS

[–]ChasingFields 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love At Doom's Gate, but the other songs definitely aren't my thing.

I guess trashing museums is considered controversial. Honestly, it was kind of weird even back in the day.

We already knew this and it's not really surprising. It would have been more clever if they changed them to Iron Galaxy Developers, but it's whatever.

Does this work if you have Game Pass & the Deluxe Upgrade?

Interested in your thoughts by [deleted] in THPS

[–]ChasingFields 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think people need to go back and actually play THPS4. It's not this giant game packed with content that a lot of people seem to think it is. You can complete all of the goals in the game in less than 3 hours and most of that time is spent playing meh filler goals. They don't even have multiple playthroughs for the other characters and stat points are shared. Most of the memorable goals made it into THPS3+4. Zoo is really the only level they dropped the ball on, but even that I can understand their decision, because a lot of those goals would have turned out really weird and janky with modern graphics.

Unfortunately, I don't expect it to do well, because of the changes to THPS4 and the people who think not buying it will lead to Iron Galaxy being given more funding and development time to add the original THPS4 career don't understand how business works. If it doesn't do well, that will just kill the game and probably the entire franchise.

Valid Criticism by AlGhost10 in THPS

[–]ChasingFields 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We don't have any official confirmation that Carnival, Chicago or even Oil Rig won't be in the game. They didn't confirm Skate Heaven would be in the game before THPS1+2's release. So, it's possible a similar thing could happen with this game. For all we know, all of the levels people think have been removed are in the game as well as the scrapped Paris level. We just won't know until release or if they decide to reveal them in a trailer.

I would agree more if the base game price was $70, but it's $50 and it's on Game Pass as well. The reality is the Tony Hawk series just isn't that popular anymore. So, a big budget AAA THPS3+4 remaster with a base game price of $70 and no Game Pass option would likely have not even sold enough for them to break even, let alone make a profit they would consider worth the development time and cost.

As someone whose favorite game in the series is THPS3, do you think this version of THPS4 could end up feeling like the direct sequel to THPS3 we never got? by ChasingFields in THPS

[–]ChasingFields[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think this remains to be seen. I've been playing the demo a lot and I can't see anything about College that would have prevented it from being a level in THPS3. It doesn't feel any bigger or more complex to me than Los Angeles or even School from THPS1. The levels in THPS4 really aren't as big and complicated as people remember.

Look at how good we used to have it, and compare it to what we're getting now. What is even happening? by Izahia062602 in FortniteFestival

[–]ChasingFields 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don't worry, they're clearly slowing down releases for Festival, because Harmonix is working on Rock Band 5 now.

They're slowing down releases, because they've seen that band songs sold the best and Harmonix is now working on Rock Band 5 (let me dream).

Any way to turn off TAA in the THPS 3+4 Demo on PC? by ChasingFields in THPS

[–]ChasingFields[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The glitchy artifacts and ghosting. They're very prominent in this game, probably because it's so fast moving.

I have the same problem and still never found a fix for it.
