Difference: TH: PS HD 2012?

[Fenris 89]

Is there an difference bettween "TH: Pro Skater 1+2" and "TH: Pro Skater HD" from 2012?

[PawgaliciouS QueeN]

A HUUUUUUUUUUUUGE difference. Namely this one is good, while the old one was complete trash and made by one of the worst devs of all time.

To better clarify, this is a massive upgrade and pretty true to source version of the first couple games, minus some of the stuff that is licensed, like the soundtrack and some skaters unfortunately.

The other was kind of a remix of a handful of different areas from the first few games with manuals added in (if you bought the DLC).

This is by /far/ the superior version, especially if we ever get the (originally cancelled at this point) THPS 3 + 4.

THPS HD was trash when compared to THPS 1+2 But keep in mind this port is not being done by the original devs (Vicarious Visions and Beenox). Iron Galaxy (the people who did Divekick and Killer Instinct) is working on this port so if anything I would wait for reviews just in cause they made a bad port cause PC ports of console games can be hit and miss.

Actually the game has been out for years on epic, this is merely a steamworks version. It'll be completely identical, which is good because the game runs great.

uncomparable. the HD version of tony hawk was the biggest garbage of all times. its sooo bad, its unbelievable.

thps 1-2 on the other hand is a masterpiece. its a perfect remake, snappy fast and precice. thps hd felt like you play it in slow motion loool. when i tried it after playing thps 1+2 (bought on epic store) i got a shock how bad it was..

would be amazing to get thps 3+4 with the same quality as this remake here.. and then underground 1+2 would be amazing too :D but i doubt they will ever make those games and even if, vicarious visions, as a reward for creating a masterpiece, was destroyed and dismantled by activision so this studio, which basically was one of the best dev studios on the planet, is no more. its dead and its impossible to get it back because some people (the leadership) even left activision completely.

and if any other studio takes over for thps 3+4 its doubtful if they will be able to stay 100% true to the original and deliver a masterpiece like vicarious visions did.

i'll never forgive activison for killing bizzare creations after they made a masterpiece (blur) and for killing vicarious visions after they made a masterpiece (thps 1+2). just shows how ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ inhuman activision is, how they don't care about anything at all, even true art, and all they care for is some ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ numbers...

edit: and that said, thps 1+2, in contrary to blur, even sold well but activison wanted another billion seller which obviously it never had any chance to become so they dismantled vicarious visions because selling a few million copies wasn't enough for those greedy corporate ♥♥♥♥♥.....

The 2012 version should have never released, it was a clunky piece of dog crap to say the least.

I'm curious why we can't pre-order this version (2023), anyone got an idea of what the price may be?

[Mariush]

Wierd still dont see price ehh how i can pre order XDDD wait for released day XDDD ehhh i really like TH i need this game :D and crash teamracing :D i play this on PS but good they put this on steam.

HD 2012 was half assed and buggy. This is a full fledged reworking while maintaining the soul of the games.

From the Wikipedia page, it wasn't destroyed and dismantled. The CEO and leads got promoted within Activision, and the rest was kept as Blizzard Albany. They even have the same offices they did before. It was just that their plans for THPS 3+4 got scrapped internally and they got put in as support on the Diablo games (1 & 2's remake/remasters and Diablo IV). So while they were under the giant Activision umbrella, this was an internal Blizzard call.

Since Diablo IV is already released, and THPS 1+2 FINALLY hit Steam where it can get some sales, there might be a more internal push for the sequels, not to mention the MS acquisition right around the corner. If this sells well here, it might signal to MS that it'd be worth doing the sequels.

Oh, and I'd toss in American Wasteland in with THUG 1 + 2.

Obligatory: 🤞 🤞 🤞 🤞 🤞

Me, who has fun with HD

I get it, the physics are barely there, but it's not Tony Hawk's Motion and it actually has levels from 3.

[Neoyoshi]

Omg, these 2 games alone where a very large part of my journey into my early 20's, i played soooo much of the first one.

My one hope is that they left the music tracks alone and only enhanced the audio, the soundtrack was perfect.
