epic game store

will play if/when it hits game pass. without thps3/revert stuff i don't really see a reason to pay for another hd remaster. especially with how badly they bungled it the first time.

I'm pretty sure they said it does include revert and other stuff they included in future THPS.

[nachobro]

that's nice, then it'll be worth every cent when it hits game pass

[MMaRsu]

lol

I have no wish to purchase anything related to that idiot Tim Sweeney.

Is that not allowed?

[MMaRsu]

if it has all the original music im in

edit: ACAB

we are bringing back Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 & 2! Original maps, original skaters, and songs from the original soundtrack, plus new features!

That doesn't read like all the songs

[demi]

THPSHD and THPS5 were absolute dogshit



Still buying anyway. I hope Officer Dick is nice and fat

[MMaRsu]

Your passion is breathtaking.

Oh it's passion. Riiiiight.

How about I just don't want to give any money ever to that hyporcritical cunt Tim Sweeney?

Ever thought of that? Or is that not allowed these days? Gotta be hyped to spend some cash!



I would actually love to buy this game. I loved THPS as a kid.Played the shit out of them.

I have zero interest in spending any money on the fucking epic game store.

[demi]

Can you be hyped for it and not buy it on Epic then? It's coming out on console too

Just wondering what these arbitrary rules are for not buying a game

[Positive Touch]

it's funny to see people be passionately stupid

[Great Rumbler]

Epic store exclusivity care posting

[MMaRsu]

it's funny to see people be passionately stupid

Because not wanting to buy something from a company makes you passionately stupid?

Jesus you fuckers sure are condescending fuckwards aren't you?

Yeah let's just make everything exclusive to the EGS from now on! That will surely help PC gaming in the end wouldn't it?!

 

You're right, it is funny seeing people this passionately stupid. You fuckers are the shining example.

HURR DURR MUST GET GEM FUCK PRINCIPLES

[paprikastaude]

I was always thinking about catching up with THPS2 due to the hype until today. Guess that settles that. Seems like it's remastered by the same people as Crash? That was polished as hell, so I don't think this will be trash like the latest Tony Hawk releases.

No one cares if you feel that way, posting that feeling rather than discussing literally anything else about this videogame is......whiny attention seeking baby stuff.

Having strict principles about toys is pretty fucked breh.

[Coffee Dog]

THPS1/2 looks good, though it's great that they've given up on making new games just to save this poor brand. 

Who the fuck cares if it's on epic when you'll be able to buy it on steam a few months later?  You'll be able to buy it on your preferred store even before switch owners can

If noone cares, just ignore my fucking comment and don't try to act like you hold the moral highground in any way shape or form.

Condescending bullshit. It was literally one comment, till I got the lulz and passionate from riooutius+

Who the fuck cares if it's on epic when you'll be able to buy it on steam a few months later?  You'll be able to buy it on your oreferred store even before switch owners can

If so that's perfectly fine. Is there any confirmation of that though?

I don't have strict principles about toys.

I have principles about the store where I buy them. There is a difference.

If it doesn't matter to you then more power to you. Why yall feel the need to condescend like IM some fucking moron for not wanting to buy games there.

[Pissy F Benny]

it best not be shite

[nachobro]

so far every egs exclusive has ended up on pc game pass pretty quick so i'm stoked

[MMaRsu]

it best not be shite

The trailer actually looks good..but then you see this gameplay



And you have to wonder how old that build is. Looks like shit. Also no blood. And is Tony in the matrix? Why is he glitching out on the floor? Why do the skaters not get up by themselves but they just reset?

I don't think there have been any perma exclusives on EGS other than fortnite? Metro, shenmue, satisfactory, all released or are releasing on steam.

Ironically this gets announced the day after Tony Hawk's record got smashed by an 11 year old.

theres a demo if you pre order according to the trailer, but fuck pre ordering

edit: i thought tony hawks contract with activision ended after 5, thats what was said at the time, acti are probably gonna do him dirty again with a shitty game

[Don Rumata]

Yeah this is not a game you should pay more than 10$ for, it's mostly for nostalgia purposes and a couple of quick matches here and there.
The THPS gameplay just got completely obliterated by SKATE as far as "simulating" skateboarding, but the games never got to levels of style of a Jet Set Radio, so they couldn't hold up on the other side of the spectrum all too well, either.
I think think it's just one of those franchises you just need to lay to rest.

[EchoRin]

Some babby recently did a 1080 on a skateboard...

Anyway. A chit chat with the Master Chief creator. Marcus Lehto.

i think something like an open world/custom map drop in/out online thps with quests and shit could be pretty cool but activision will never invest more than the minimum into the franchise so i think this will just be the start of them remaking the series in pairs: 1+2, 3+4, thug1+2, etc

[Cheddahz]

I've never understood people who said Skate "destroyed" Tony Hawk; they both offered different experiences and both do a good job

[nachobro]

yeah its like the difference in SWAT vs Virtua Cop to me. Both cop games but serve completely different fanbases.

That'd be cool, but even then, i'd prefer SKATE's take on it, even with that open structure.
I honestly find it a more compelling control system all around, and Tony Hawk usually worked around its simplistic controls, with adding all that shit like grinding on a dragon's tail for 10 minutes, and absurd stuff like that (nothing wrong with it, but again, you'd better go full JSR then).

I've never understood people who said Skate "destroyed" Tony Hawk; they both offered different experiences and both do a good job

It did for me personally.
But i also addressed why i think Tony Hawk just isn't all that compelling even in its own "arcade" right, it flip flopped a lot between realistic (Project 8 ) and weird (THUG2 or American Wasteland).

[nachobro]

yeah they added getting off the board, shit went downhill

[Svejk]

I was the absolute worst at THPS.  It would not click for me no matter how hard I tried.      

[Joe Molotov]

when is Chad Muska's Pro Skater HD coming out?

Tha'ts not BMX XXX.

[Don Rumata]

Just stand in place, do "manual" and then apply the modifiers to get multipliers. 
Couldn't do this in old ones though, i think only from 3 onwards.

[Akala]

  if good. we were talking about 2x the other day.

[Bebpo]

I played like 8 million hours between THPS1 demo -> Underground 1. I like combo games.
THUG2 was the start of the mess and everything after was a disaster.

All these years later...I have zero confidence in a new THPS or remake. If it turns out good I'll be happy to be wrong.

THPS1&2 are painfully simple games, it shouldn't be hard to clean them up and shit them out decently.

[Pissy F Benny]

They fucked it up with tony hawk hd on pstriple and 360

[demi]

They did but that was Robomodo, this is VV who have a good track record on remakes so far at least

[Nintex]

I loved the REEEEE meltdown itt 

Also can't wait to see all of Geoffs next gen awesomeness.

[EchoRin]

if good. we were talking about 2x the other day.

Playing that for Xmas 2001 cause my dad got me an Xbox instead of a Gamecube because he wanted to watch DVDs  (Essentially his JAmes Bond DVD collection). The Duke d-pad. 

PS anything D pad is the only way I can comfortably play THPS games. Left has to left, right has to be right, up has to be up, down has to be down 100% of the time. Duke d-pad was a secondary minigame in THPS2x of trying to execute moves.

[Akala]

we were just kind of hoping it would become backwards compatible at some point like some of the other XB1 games. I imagine not now. 

[Himu]

DO THPS3 NEXT

[nachobro]

activision would never give something away for free if they could charge $40 for it

I think that's the second time he's used that image too lol

He did display a lot of confidence like the PS5 controller though.

Can someone make sense of this American Wii U commercial? I tried to find it in a seperate video, but cannot find a standalone??

Timestamp 1:00

Listen to what the voice over (presumably from the small boy) says:

"Mom and Dad have been smiling and laughing" - While the camera pans over the woman and young looking dude
"My big sister and younger brother are actually getting along" - While the camera pans over the two young children.

But if the kid doing the voiceover isn't the 'younger' brother, then who is voiceover?
Was Dad the big brother the entire time?

 

lol

Can't wait until the Netherlands is swallowed by the Atlantic and we are finally freed from this curse.

HUNTDOWN came out today.  It's a 16-bit style 2D run n' gun shooter.  Seems pretty good so far! 



It's on PS4, Xbone, Switch, and PC.

Well I sure hope 2Tbs of HDD space on both the Xbox and PS4 is good enough for the rest of the gen. Not investing in anymore storage management and thats what both have left after my HDD crisis.

I mean it would help if I wasnt a nerdy loser who wants every game installed just in case I get the nudge to check a game out, but I am.

How bout some folders?  Like an A-H Folder, I-R Folder and S-Z Folder? 

I know that feeling... In case I get some wild urge to fire up some random game...  I got a 2TB on mine for that reason, but I reasoned with myself knowing that I'll never have time to go back to certain ones. lol

Look at all those vidya 

I've been thinking about expanding my Xbox One X Storage as well but I'll probably get a new SSD for my PC and then use my oldest PC SSD for some extra room on the X.
Or I'll wipe clean my Wii U external HDD and use that instead. 

As it stands I can only have about 8 or 9 game installed at a time with some of the larger ones with DLC getting close to 100GB.
Some games that are nice to pick up and play like racers I have to remove in favor of story heavy games not to mention every time something on GamePass pops up that I want I'm playing a game of Tetris with my storage first.

My real storage issue is on my PC though,

C: SSD drive - OS - 250GB / 30GB left
D: SSD drive - Games - 500GB / 40GB left
G: HDD drive - Games - 1TB / 128GB left
I: HDD drive - Adobe Creative Cloud and other Applications / Google Drive (work stuff) / PC backups / Plex folder with Documentaries, Movies & TV shows - 3TB / 300GB left
M: HDD drive -  Downloads / Phone backups / Plex folder with Documentaries, Movies & TV shows - 3TB / 18GB left

"lmao breh just delete some porn", well adult entertainment is hardly a drop in the bucket when it comes to storage space.
In total, including what I assume is still left in backups from the days when streaming content was less common about ~200GB.
A single video takes up anything from 200MB to 5GB depending on the age, type of content and resolution.
Not to mention other than the labels these drives are about as well organized as you'd imagine a Nintex storage device to be.
I'm already buying all my 4K HDR movies on Blu-Ray to save some space but some movies are still not released in 4K nor found on Netflix.

However a single game like Call of Duty consumes 200GB and it needs to be installed on an SSD to run well so I don't see any other option but to buy a 1TB SSD to replace the 250GB one if another game pops up that requires an SSD.

Next gen is going to be fun. The 825GB SSD that comes with the PS5 sounds impressive but with UE5 and those 8k textures you will be able to install about 5 - 8 games at best.

Oh man, GameFaqs guides that takes me back to wonderful days of reading them.

Authors spend a lot of time and care to describe every single frame of certain games.
Some of them even included their own character backstories, epilogues and interpretations of stories in SNES RPG's.

God bless those warriors

there is no way I could ever be bothered to alphabetize, for PS4 I have folders loosely by genre.

FIGHT
RACE
SPORT
