Almost all of us here have PS5 or PC with RTX GPU that outperforms PS5 and can run triple digit FPS all day, and still choose to play on Switch instead. (especially on a hybrid system where games almost always have to strike a balance between power, battery and performance).Īnd we know that. Luckily they are no more and the series finally got handed off to a competent developer who could do the games some proper justice in the modern era. The Ride and Shred era games felt like real low points, when Robomodo got handed the series and sunk it to depths I never thought possible by the time they released THPS 5. Project 8 felt like a high point for me after that, like they were going back to the first 4 games, but sadly that was pretty much it for the series, after that the games got all gimmicky and were nothing like the THPS games I loved. I don't even remember American Wasteland but it seemed to be more of the same from that THUG era. The THUG games were good but lacked the style that THPS was known for, and THUG 2 felt like it was more aimed around Jackass than anything else. For example THPS 1-4 were incredible games, total classics, but they are less memorable and nostalgic for me as I go on. That and having the games on a portable is amazing, especially on the Switch Lite with it's d-pad.Īs for the series, I think it slowly got worse over time, but had a few high and lows here and there. I also got the game on my Xbox Series X, and the game looks incredible on that console, but the way the game looks on the Switch is a lot closer to what I remember those early THPS games looking like.

Some might prefer Pro Skater 2 or Pro Skater 4 (it's tough to go wrong with any of them, really), but this is a classic in the skateboarding genre - the focal point and pinnacle of a skating X gaming cultural crossover before the series went off the boil and started trying a bit too hard in the mid-2000s.Įven people with zero interest in skateboarding know who Tony Hawk is, and it's thanks to these brilliant games, of which Pro Skater 3 might just be the best. For most genres that's a fallacy, but when you look at Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3, it's arguably true. It's easy to look back with rose-tinted specs and imagine things were better in the past.
