      It wasn’t to avoid epic, it’s because there’s no crack for the game yet and the only way to pirate it is to play on a switch emulator.

      Still surprised Kingdom Hearts hasn’t made the leap over yet. Maybe Square is looking at piss poor Epic sales and thinking theres no market or something

      Right?! I’m pretty mixed on 4 but I’d argue 3 was every bit as good or better than the first two. The revert was an absolutely critical mechanic and there were some really fun levels like the neighborhood and the factory.

        As the series goes on I prefer them more and more till you get to Underground, Im not the biggest fan of Underground 2 but I like American Wasteland just as much as Underground 1. After that I fell off due to preferring Skate.

        4 is my favourite of the pro skaters, if you don’t count the new 1+2.

          I actually really enjoyed UG2 but I’m not sure how they’ll get the rights to remake it especially with all the Viva La Bam characters.

    This wasn’t on steam already? That’s the most amazing part of this to me.

    Finally! I’ve been waiting for this for so long with no end in sight! I had no hope due to the Epic exclusivity and the fact that they announced that these remakes didn’t do so well on Epic, so future remakes were never green lit.

    I don’t expect this to sell massively on Steam, but I’d love if it did just so we can get the next games.

    This won’t be a day one buy for me (no preorders!), but I’ll definitely be picking this up for the nostalgia!

      I’m right there with you. Maybe us THPS fans all just have a “fuck the man” mentality and refused to buy from Epic. Then again, this game never got cracked, either…

    Good. Can’t wait to destroy noobs in multiplayer a second time around (before they practice and get better than me like what happened the first time the game was released.)

    1 and 2 are great games. Should be top quality too on Steamdeck. Never got around to finishing the remake of 1 but one day I’ll get to it lol

      HD fuckin blows. It’s a cheap remake that screwed up the physics and was mostly lifeless. It was made by the studio that made all the terrible THPS games in the late 2000s through mid 2010s. It’s got a handful of levels from the first two games. It looks and feels like a mobile port.

      Tony Hawk’s 1 + 2 is a love letter to the original 2 games. Loaded with content and they nailed the feel. Your muscle memory of the originals carries over perfectly. It’s got all the levels plus a few more. They also added in the revert from THPS3 which is sorely missing when you go back and actually play the originals.

        They also added in the revert from THPS3 Wow I was hoping for a 3+4 because of revert. Now I have something to look forward to next month.
