Honestly in most ways the 64 had better graphics. The same way the 64 couldn't do things the PS could because of the format. The PS couldn't do allot of the things the 64 could in terms of its graphical capability. Never see a game as vastly beautiful as OoT,Majoras mask, 1080, waverace, excitebike....I could keep going.

Why did the Tony Hawk franchise die? Activision killed it by disrespecting the developers. The games released on a yearly schedule, but as console hardware got more advanced and the developers got more skilled, the games got more complex. This really culminated in Tony Hawk's Underground 2, which seemed to do everything a skateboarding game could ever want to do. Up until that point, every game in the franchise had implemented a new control feature that made skating in the game more creative. Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 added manuals and made air to ground combos possible. 3 added the revert, which made comboing from vert tricks to street tricks possible. After THUG 2, the sixth game in the series, there wasn't anything more to add. It was possible to chain together infinite combos, change tricks in the middle of a balance trick, jump into and push off of walls, and even create and edit new tricks of your own. With nowhere to go and continuing pressure to maintain the franchise's status as a yearly cash cow, Neversoft was forced to make some questionable decisions. The seventh game in the series, Tony Hawk's American Wasteland, had some ideas that were great, some ideas that were obvious filler, and no ideas that were fully developed. Great idea: open world. THAW still had individual levels (this time themed after neighborhoods of Los Angeles), but each one was part of a single map. This made it possible to skate a single combo across every cool feature of every level in the game. That sounds like great fun, but the levels all had to be connected by long, boring hallways to mask their loading times. So instead of making the game more streamlined, it just made it more boring. Now here's a stupid idea: put stuff that isn't skateboarding in a skateboarding game. THAW saw the franchise's first and last implementations of BMX and parkour, which were distinct in their controls and could have been implemented into engaging individual challenges. Instead, BMX offered an insufficiently different alternative to skateboarding, and parkour was implemented in the tutorial for parkour, and that's it. Neither of these additions added anything of value to the gameplay, one was just an alternative to skateboarding (and why provide players with an alternative to the reason they bought the game?), and the other was a minor distraction in the form of a mid-game tutorial. Needless to say, the Tony Hawk games had lost their way a bit. So the eighth game in the series went back to just skateboarding, and didn't really innovate at all. There was a gimmicky new trick mode that wasn't necessary, and that gimmick was expanded upon in the ninth game. By that time, the Skate series was doing skateboarding games better than the Tony Hawk series was, by having a more fluid control scheme that resulted in more realistic action. The Tony Hawk series was losing sales with every successive entry, and instead of giving Neversoft a two year development cycle to make a better game and build anticipation, Activision shut the studio down. They gave the series to a new team who made cheap games with a stupid motion control peripheral that didn't work for the tenth and eleventh games, and when (obviously) nobody bought those games, they declared that "People simply don't want to play skateboarding games anymore!" and stopped making them. Until late 2014 that is, when Activision realized their rights to Tony Hawk's name were about to lapse. They rushed that same studio that made the terrible motion controlled games to pinch off a brand new experience, in the tradition of the first 4 games in the series (using an actual controller), in under a year. They failed. Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 5, as it was officially called, never made it out of beta before their deadline hit. This game had to be on store shelves less than a year after it was conceived, so the developer simply put the game's demo on the disc copies, and put the entire actual game into a day one patch. Of course, the entire actual game was still unfinished when they were forced to release it, so when it finally did come out (one day before Activision's rights to the Tony Hawk name expired) it was still a broken mess. So nobody played it, nobody cared, and nothing changed. It was like the game never even came out at all. And that's why the Tony Hawk franchise seemed to die off suddenly. People stopped paying attention because the games stopped being interesting. When that happened, nobody noticed that the series didn't disappear all of a sudden, but rather it died a long, drawn out death.

Activision didn't do anything that would have destroyed it Skating just sort of faded away as the majority of people that skated moved on. Today rock music and alternative are dead compared to 10 -15 years ago as people listen to rap/hipop or pop music there is no people to sell skating games to (or any other extreme sport games)

+tHeWasTeDYouTh I don't agree personally. I think it really WAS Activision pushing for a yearly release and Neversoft getting fed up with having to make the games all the time with a short development cycle. I think there ARE, in fact, plenty of fans out there who want to play extreme sports games. That's how something like Steep manages to get backing, and how SSX (2012) managed to sell decent numbers. The thing that seems to get lost--in my opinion--with the THPS games is that they're not really just about skateboarding. (I actually don't skateboard at all, yet I'm a huge fan of the series.) In a traditional sports game, what's the purpose? Well to play the sport and win the games. Even extreme sports games prior to THPS were just about doing tricks in runs for the sake of doing tricks in runs, or perhaps--in the case of game series like Xtreme--just about winning a basic competition. But THPS is a game that's more about completing objectives, and because of that it appeals to gamers like me who enjoy open-ended 3D platformers. Furthermore, it has stat improvement mechanics that can appeal to RPG gamers, albeit without much in the way of decent storytelling. Yes, there are occasional levels where the goal is to win a competition like in a typical sports game, but most of the time it's just "skate around open areas collecting stuff and completing objectives, then upgrade your avatar of choice." So I don't think the market for the games is gone, per se; it's just that A) they got sick of the yearly releases, and B ) Activision won't give any developers the proper time and money to create an experience worthy of the older games, which would draw that crowd back in.

+thecianinator That's an excellent analysis and some interesting info about THPS5 that I didn't know about. However, there are a couple nuances that I feel the need to point out. 1) THAW was not the first time that Neversoft implemented mechanics that weren't skateboarding. That actually started with THPS4 in the form of that silly tennis minigame. It showed--in my eyes at least--that even though the games are primarily about skateboarding, they didn't NEED to be about skateboarding to be fun. As I said in the previous comment, for me the THPS games feel more like open-ended platformers that happen to include skateboarding as the fundamental means of moving around, along with an upgrade system for RPG fans. I know that isn't really a legitimate comparison for most people, but trying to imagine a THPS game without collecting SKATE letters or enhancing your avatar is hard for me. Take those away, and you've just got a generic sports game about playing sports for the sake of playing sports. Also consider that THUG had entire segments devoted to not being on your skateboard at all, sometimes even playing LIKE a platformer. So while THAW may have been the first time that a skateboarding game seemed to be forgetting that it was supposed to BE about skateboarding, it wasn't the first time they delved into things that weren't skateboarding at all. 2) Neversoft wasn't shut down after Proving Ground. Instead they went off to work on Guitar Hero...which naturally died off after Activision continued to push the "one-a-year" model. THAT'S when Neversoft was shut down. I'm sorry to hear that Activision wasn't willing to give the studio proper time to put a new game together, cause I was really looking forward to THPS5. Then I heard it was re-using older levels and was buggy as hell, so I lost interest very quickly.

I think it died suddenly because they milked the shit out of it in such a short time and also the fact that the first entry of the game is SO good. They really only added little things to each game, so they got boring progressively faster in my opinion even though I did like the later installments like Underground and American Wasteland. I also think people got tired of the over the top shit, which is why Skate became a popular successor.

I think the reason the Tony Hawk series started to fade away was 2 things. The first was Neversoft's interests in the series were obviously starting to wane. American Wasteland was a neat idea, with one huge map with no loading screens, but the character customization was a lot more limited than in previous games (you couldn't even make a female skater in story mode). Then it got worse with the jump to the next generation. Project 8 had even more limited customization, some really uninteresting gimmicks, and really poor performance. The second thing would be that in the midst of the series' decline in quality, a brand new skateboarding series, Skate, popped up. Now, me personally, I'll always prefer the likes of THPS1-THAW over Skate, but one can't deny the series resonated with a lot of people, with its more realistic take on skating, and the simple fact that the developers still gave a shit. That's just what I think, anyway.

I played them all on the Playstation and Dreamcast then the XBox and so on. I never played any of them on the N64 though, in fact I don't think I played any of them on a Nintendo console. I know a port of THPS 3 was released as the last official N64 game. I played them all up until Tony Hawk's Proving Ground. I also played THPS 5... My favorite in the series though has to be Tony Hawk's Underground 2. I think the series started to lose it's steam after Activision, as per usual, started to whore out the series, like they did with Guitar Hero and now Call of Duty, releasing a new one annually. I never touched Tony Hawk Ride and Shred, which used that stupid board controller. THPS 5 was a last ditch effort, but ended the series with a whimper, sadly...

To answer your question, 'cause I totally forgot to in my first comment. The reason it died was an over saturation and gimmicks. There was a Tony Hawk game almost yearly for some long time, much like rock band and guitar hero, it was just to much, then once motion controls became a thing, they made a game that you used a real board to play on, which... worked as good as you can expect. By that time Stake games came in, and had better sense of detail, the church you liked about Tony Hawk's Pro Skater one was amplified and even had a game mode around hurting your staker as much as you could. And Tony Hawk's name drifted out of main stream. Any number of those alone wouldn't off doomed the games... But put all together, and you have a problem.

I know I'm a bit late for commenting, but in the video, you asked which game we are terrible at, yet can't stop playing. I am terrible at everything, and I keep playing everything anyway. My girlfriend likes to watch me play the new super Mario bros games because she thinks I'm great at them, but I'm really not, I just find them quite simple compared to the older Mario games. Since I'm pretty awful at everything, I usually stick to turn based RPGs, because I find the skill requirement is pretty low. But even then, I look up some information online about the RPG I'm playing, and apparently, I'm still doing it wrong. I guess I'm supposed to do every mundane side quest, earn mundane items, that I can use hours later to obtain the best armour or weapons in the game to do a million damage points. Or I'm supposed to equip specific items simultaneously in order to exploit the game system in order to steamroll every enemy in the game... I love video games, I just wish I could spend the time on getting better at them.

Na people just don't remember how awful mechanically thps 1 and 2 were. The HD remake isn't as bad as people say, I had zero issue with it. Actually go back and play them and see how janky they are compared to how your nostalgia remembers.

Kitelime tbh I do agree, the originals are stiff to control nowadays compared to thps3 but I had problems with HD, crashes and the controls seem sloppy to me *I have the ps3 version* thps5 I feel isn't as bad as people say, I think people were on the bandwagon of oh it's so glitchy when after updates it runs fine even if some of the challenges were bad, but the controls on it were far better for me then HD, just fact that the fact it sold for full rrp was sickening to say the least but that's Activision's fault, I don't blame robomodo, have you ever played thps2x? it's basically an original version of HD, it was an Xbox exclusive and only released in America which is a pain because I live in the UK and has to import it, of you haven't heard of it it's worth looking it up.

I feel on the THPS5 thing, but I still think the controls were horrid in that game to the point where it was unplayable for me. Having the slam and grind on the same button was mind mindbogglingly stupid.. And yeah the PC version of HD i have had 0 problems with crash wise.

Kitelime the slam button was pointless by they did replace it with a double tap, personally I didn't think the remake was that great and not that I loved thps5, the classics like thps3 is really all I remember.

This is the only 'Tony Hawk' game--and the only port--of this series that I've ever played. As much as I admired this game for its trick system and its trustworthy physics, I just found THPS a bit too repetitive to enjoy beyond a weekend's rental. Maybe another playthrough might change my mind... Going on a bit of a tangent here: A handful of N64 developers were able to squeeze in hundreds of sound effects, voice clips, and music files into the system's cartridges (Rare and Acclaim's N64 offerings come to mind). Part of me wonders if the full, unedited THPS CD soundtrack, through enough manipulation, could have been squeezed into a large enough N64 cart. (Doing so might have been cost-prohibitive, though.)

I was super hooked on THPS1-3. By the time the 4th I ended up skipping it and all the rest following I had no interest. Even if I loved the 3rd one to death. My take on it is both over saturation(making 1 game per year... even 2 games per year at mid 2000s) and the gaming scene changing. As we were going deeper into the PS2 / Xbox / Gamecube era of gaming, we were introduced to completely new IPs and new genres taking a strong foothold. GTA3, Kingdom Hearts, Halo, Morrowind, MGS2, WoW(or any other MMO). By mid 2000s, the gaming landscape had changed so much, yet THPS series seemed stuck in the past and not evolving. And when it did, it did some horrible choices of focusing on peripheral, attempting to jump on the "Guitar Hero"-peripheral-wave.

I couldn't have said it better. The last game I played in the series was THPS4 and I really enjoyed it but by 2002-2003, the extreme/gnarly craze was starting to get old and this includes a lot of extreme sports games that I use to love playing like Tony Hawk and SSX. By the early 2000s I was more into Devil May Cry, Kingdom Hearts, Halo, Smackdown Here Comes The Pain, etc and just got bored with Tony Hawk and skateboarding in general. By 2004, I already had my driver's license and by 2005 I had my own car so skateboarding just felt more and more juvenile to me(no offense to those who still love skateboarding over the age of 14). Activision just seems to stick to the same old formula with a lot of their games. Tony Hawk and COD are 2 major prime examples of that. But at least with COD I still do enjoy the multiplayer. Tony Hawk on the other hand just stopped serving a purpose for me

I always remember seeing this game for the first time back in July 99, when I got the 8th issue of the German PlayStation ZONE Magazine, which came with a demo disc that had a (rather early) demo of this game, and I always remember playing the Chicago Level in the demo quite often, just months before I was even invited to a friend's house in where I played some of it, until eventually, somewhere in the year 2000, I went with my mom to our local supermarket, in where they had some PS1 games that we've all bought for about €15 (about £12) each, and it was this game that I played the demo of, and played a Little snippet of it at a friend's house Prior. And right after we bought the game, I was instantly more hooked on to it than of what I was when I played it at a friend's house. It has been a game that I had a lot of enjoyment with it, even if I still sorta had trouble playing through it. And while I may have sorta skipped the 2nd one, while I still played the hell out of the 3rd game on the PS1, which may be inferior to the more advanced PC and PS2 Versions, as I still have alot of nostalgia for it as it was the only game in the series so far that I have completed it once using Geoff Crowley as my chosen skater, and still played some of THUG 2 in where I got to Berlin, the main capital of my country (Germany), the half way of American Wasteland, and only very Little bits of Project 8 on the PS2, it is still a game series that I always have fond memories of. The latest games were obviously big disasters, not just because of how they were, but also mainly because of how greedy Activision became, where COD is the only game series that is good, and without it, and Skylanders to an extend, it is nothing. I always would like to play THPS3 on the PS1 again, because it was for me the sorta only game, that I used to play to death, even if the PS1 Version as said before is lackluster in comparison to the more advanced PS2 and PC Versions.

I feel like games like 1080 and Waverace 64 helped to pave the way for games like THPS and SSX. But the reason THPS Waverace and 1080 were successful was bc they skirted that line between simulations and arcade. Why do you reccomend the PS version when the DC version destroys the other versions. The reason THPS died is bc it started 1. Getting too far from the source gameplay. Got too ridiculous and stopped riding that line I spoke of. 2. Other games like Skate came out and took back the simulation elements that people craved.

Well, you cant be "Bad" in this one, Pro skater 2 have more depth in the gameplay so you can do more tricks and chain them together, so thats the one where the good thps players are, its the same with pro skater 3 and 4

great review dude i loved this game so much i got it for every console the dreamcast version was the best, i think the reason why these games died is because game companies kill them out with a new version every year activision are known for doing that with there franchises they turn them into cash grabs

I am a bitch at Kingdom Hearts.... well, the super bosses anyway, but I keep playing still. To many players, the Kingdom Hearts series is about strategizing your moves, making physical attacks and magic work together, as well as carefully picking what abilities and items you need for a given battle. To me.... it is just "press X to win"... og, and I keep forgetting the block-button exists.
