The Official R.I.P THPS TREAD!!!!

This thread is dedicated to the once great series, that help Craptivision become the monster it is today. It is a sad day to see what has become of this once awesome franchise. THPS helped pave the way for all other extreme sports, to get a spotlight in the video game world. Whats everyones best memory's of THPS??? I remember my first backflip from pool to pool in school, or unlocking Spiderman in THPS2. Hell remember how much it was a pain to manuel all the way down Alcatraz??? R.I.P old buddy thanks for all the hours of fun!!!

i had one of its games on the ps2. it was ok. i wont miss the series. Skate is WAY better:)

The first ones on the dreamcast were godly... LIke really it was some of the most fun video games had ever been at the time, but then they just absolutely killed it

They killed another good series, what a shame, I loved the series up to THUG, THUG 2 was ok but I couldn't get into the rest of the games. Ride looks to be the worst in the series.

May his games R.I.P.:(:cry:

the best game of the series and of this generation is released and you call the series dead? pathetic

Yep TH died a sad, sad death. 1-4 were awesome and I loved playing them so much. But after that, I lost interest and they got worse and worse I heard THUG was good but pretty much after that it was a long slow deathslide to RIDE.

Time to hang it up, and just take ole Hawk behind the shed to die.

I heard THUG was good

I bought a PS2 because of THPS3!!! I remember how massive the levels felt and the revert changed the dynamics of THPS forever. I played THPS all the way up till project 8. I rented it an thought the whole move your feet with both sticks felt forced. If I see Ride for 20 bucks somewhere someday I'll pick it up. I want to try and do actual skate tricks like kickflips or variels and see what the game interprets on screen.

I have fond memories of the first three games. I remeber playing the hell out of THPS3 one night with my friends/family on the PS2. However, the last one I liked was Underground which was great but not as good as the first three.

Oh well. There is always Skate to take the torch.

For me, THPS2 was the highlight of the series. It was downhill from there.

The one thing I would like to know is whats Neversofts whole take on this??? Tony Hawk was NS's baby for so many years before it was yanked away too some no name developer. I wonder how they feel about seeing the TH series crash???

I always preferred the thrasher skate and destroy game to TH :?X360PS3AMD05

I hate any kind of sport in real life, and doubly so in video games. However, the early THPS titles (1-3) were a utter joy for me to play, THPS3 especially. The environments were so wonderfully, often hilariously done.

Well, there is only one thing left to do......................

Replace this decomposing franchise with another, may I suggest................

I think we can all agree that annual releases of this game helped end the series a lot faster than maybe releasing once every other year.

[QUOTE="funsohng"][QUOTE="mitu123"] It was good, I say try it. Screw the haters.:P

But yeah its quite sad it turned out this way :( THPS is my all time favorite franchise if you cant tell by the last 4 letters in my name. There is absolutely no online game like it

The first one I played was THPS3 when I was like 7(I think?). It blew me away and consumed my life for the week I rented it. It's the reason I have a Wal-Mart skateboard laying around somewhere...

Then I played THPS4. That really bored me. I remember ti wasn't as over-the-top as THPS3 when it comes to levels.

The last one I played was THUG at a friends house and immediately asked for it for Christmas. That game was AMAZINGGG. The customization, the storyline (which was the pinnacle of awesome as a kid); it was all so BA. I still go back and play it occasionally.

I'm afraid to touch any of the other games (THUG2 looked really stupid), but that 's probably for good reason. R.I.P THPS. 3 and THUG ruled my childhood. If only I tried harder on that crappy Wal-Mart skateboard.

Playing Tony Hawk's Underground on the PS2 with my friends; we would createand play levels.It was also the first Tony Hawk game to offer a real story, which I really enjoyed playing. Best game of all time.

I loved THUG though

My best memories were playing THPS2 on my PC for hours and hours. A couple of years later I spent even more hours on THPS4 for the Gamecube. In my opinion, THPS4 was the last good one. I think they should go back to basics and just release THPS5, I would totally buy that.Superzone

i used to be obsessed with THUG and THUG2

Goodbye THPS! Skate may take your place as the top skateboarding series, but it could never replace your over the top shenanigans!

THPS is part of the reason i started skating. Admitting that makes me feel lame, but I've had a lot of good times because of that game.beast667

Tony Hawk Pro SKater 2-4 were probably my favorite skating games ever made, Ill miss the series :(

i understand that but im saying right now.

Well, since this is a THPS thread, shouldn't it end at THPS4, and then no other games can come into the thread? Every THPS game was good, and I enjoyed THUG and somewhat THUG2, after that I never bought a TH game. Thought they were just milking the series. Yet another great series heading to the toilet because of Activision. TH, GH, CoD, where will it stop?

The only one I owned was THPS 4 on my PC. Great game. The three previous ones were also great. After 4 the series became meh. Much milkage, few innovation. Guess they finally innovated. :roll:
