I never had a Playstation One, but my younger cousin had. I spent a lot of time playing at his house. It was awesome. We loved Tony Hawks Pro Skater, and I was quite good at it. It felt good to be the best "skater" in the house. Until "Chuck", the neighbors' kid, came around. He was younger than both of us and got scores hundreds of times greater than ours. He was also cool and nonchalant. Didn't even sit, just leaned in the wall looking bored like the game was too easy for him. When we asked how he did stuff, he just shrugged, smiled, and kept playing. Fuck you, Chuck! Fuck you!
That said, I'm pretty excited about these remasters :)
Oh man I thought I was hot shit at these games until I played THPS4 online and met people who could score in the dozens of millions with a single combo. The key is basically to find a skate line...
Oh man I thought I was hot shit at these games until I played THPS4 online and met people who could score in the dozens of millions with a single combo. The key is basically to find a skate line that you can repeat without breaking combo, abuse the hell out of the multiplier system (each trick is +1 multiplier against your base score, IIRC), and use some almost-cheating grinding spots to reset the grind balance meter. I played from THPS4 through THUG2 knowing these methods and I was still one of the lowest scoring players in my group of friends.

THUG!
Yes, the music is essential for this to work!
I've had this song stuck in my head all day after seeing this post...
Do I hear ska? Could it be more 90s?
I forgot how much I remembered this song! hahaha
