Controls amazing, I suck intensely at it and its great.

You can still go up one side of that peninsula-looking bit of vert ramp in the back of warehouse at an angle and completely throw the middle finger to physics as you wrap around the thing in the air due to the way vert ramps lock your position :allears:

My favorite skater was always Bucky Lasek but wow until you get some stat upgrades playing with him is hard mode, he's so slow and gets no Ollie air for gap finding.

I love this game. I love the 2 minute timer keeping the levels feeling fresh. I love how many secrets there are due to the gap system. :iia:

Fuuuuuck playing as Mullen must be a nightmare for the first few levels. No air at all. I'm not even sure they have flatland stuff in this, I'll have to look later. I know there are manual specials.

Reddit seems to think those and the little aliens you find around are part of a challenge or achievement or something which makes sense

Do the different skating styles in CAS mean anything or are they just starting stats?

apparently the Alien from Roswell is the second Unlockable Skater, the first being Officer Dick (who is now also Jack Black)

You can unlock speedrun. I just did it but I forgot how exactly... Maybe getting a sick score?

I've been using Kareem Campbell and this game is great. It's harder than I remember though. Maybe Kareem's stats have something to do with that? His air stat isn't that great and I just can't reach some subway tickets/hall passes/whatevers.

Yeah it definitely seems like you need to level up and come back to get certain collectibles and even goals instead of being able to 100% a level immediately

If anyone knows how to unlock freeskate let me know cos otherwise, uh, this sucks a bit.

I don't see the point of not letting you remap specials during a run. Had go back to the main screen to do it.

Can't you freeskate from the start? I did story in warehouse and started school, then when I went to freeskate I was able to get into roswell no problem, didn't even have to unlock it or anything, I was surprised.

Yeah, not being able to adjust your skater's appearance (with the new stuff you unlocked) without going back to the main menu is a weird design choice.

I’ve hit my first area where I can’t get the secret tape or finish all the challenges without improving stats. I went with a street skater for my custom dude since grinding and manuals are the easiest ways to keep combos going, but it looks like I just don’t have the jumping ability for the downtown level.

Spent a couple hours on this last night when it unlocked (PS4) and it was like I'd gone back in time to my teenage years. It feels perfect controls/physics-wise and I apparently still have all the muscle memory from playing way, way too much of this series back in the day because I was ripping off the sick scores in single combos. The nostalgia hits -hard- and I hope the park creator and online play keep me interested after that wears off and I finish the career mode. It's nice to have a THPS game in my library again after I foolishly sold 3 and THUG2.

Also enjoying the soundtrack, both old and new.

If you say it in a German accent it almost sounds like a Rammstein reference?

I haven't unlocked that trick yet, but I'm loving this so far, its exactly what I wanted, as superficial or as deep as I want it to be depending on how I want to play

If setting the Sustain Level in the ENV to around 7, you can obtain a howling sound.

How long does this take to install on PS4? I’m at like an hour and can still only free skate and tutorial.

Yep I was fooled by the buy now button on the store page which of course takes you to the most expensive version.

Oh my, there is so much stuff to do, completing all the level goals is barely scratching the surface. Most challenges look daunting. This is a ton of stuff to do for this kind of money. Everyone please buy this so we maybe get 3+4 or something.

VV made DLC for the N.Sane trilogy right? A THPS3 pack would be amazing.

Also yeah, I was kind of bummed when doing a career goal meant it was done for everyone, but then I kind of realize the old goals is kind of an extended tutorial, the real meat and potatoes in this game is all the new challenges and poo poo.

Spent a couple hours with my brother getting our nostalgia on. We're two guys who clearly lost all their leet skills since the original just bumbling around and talking poo poo to each other like we know what we're doing.

It's definitely more grindy than I remember. I used to be able to get multiple challenges done per session, now I get maybe one at a time.

Also create a character is very lacking in customization. You get maybe half a dozen shirts, pants and shoes. No leather jacket for my punk rocker, but I do get a fake denim vest.

I will say so far my only outright negative is how hard it can be to see objectives you are meant to collect. The new bells you have to wall ride in the first school level are way harder to see then they should be, and the signs in the Downtown level are also easy to miss.

Finding Ollie the Magic Bum in VB was also kind of a pain in the rear end, especially because I totally forgot what order he spawned in because it's been like 20 years
