[@movementencouragedfitness5945]

This one is massively underrated. It paved the way for the skate franchise I think even. Because it was first and had some joy stick actions

[@mrtaurus3338]

I remember this blowing my mind as a kid!! At this time this what was possible in video games especially with Skateboarding

[@Gameboy-Unboxings]

I haven't watched this in probably 15 years.. I used to always watch bam doing the kickflip off the side of the mini ramp over and over.

[@bnsyphotography2104]

Remember when this game came out. Very odd even watching this behind the scenes video again. Think I watched it maybe a year after the game came out or something no idea. Remember my brother showing the trailer, and the ability to do tricks in close up slow motion, the board has movement whilst landing, the most realistic look and movement we had back then.

legends in one video

[@theobell2002]

I love this game but let's be real, this game's marketing was a complete lie. They didn't mo-cap in-game tricks. They only mo-capped a couple of tricks you could view under "pro tricks" from the main menu.

[@noc2rn]

Nyjah contributed with the motion capture in Project 8? Holy shit

[@claudespeed32397]

Tony Hawk's Project 8 was a very good skateboarding game much better than > Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 5

[@MrLaserPony]

because Neversoft made it not Robomodo....last game they made of the series was Proving Ground

[@Siptoseina]

They are both pretty trash

[@lttv3612]

@@MrLaserPony I personally liked thps HD when it came out

[@ndx2k]

Love how P Rod's shoes matched his suit lol

[@garden0fstone736]

First game I got with the 360. Was pretty mind blowing at the time

[@chaoslab]

Awesome stuff.

[@Bug_Bait]

I still need to give this game a play.

[@disaffected_malcontent]

You should! Its amazing!

[@marc.silden]

And those motion capture balls are now little dots... It just gets better and better.

[@martincho123_art_box]

Espectacular

[@emmanueljames9029]

@ 00:08.. I like that ADICTS board!!

[@MachinGunFunk13]

Imagine how far we’ve come aith skate games considering Session and Skater XL respectively

[@Baqsam]

Anybody got the music track names? The music sounds like it was trendy 10 years before the game came out, but I like it. I'm a 90's boy.

[@wade_says]

Underrated game

[@PugLifeJM]

What ruined this game was it being 30fps as opposed to 60fps from previous titles. And, even so, it had awful fps drops on all platforms.

[@AZITHEMLGPRO]

I think the 360 version *can* run smoother

[@raskosworld]

Yea and also the lack of customization

[@king.liljoji]

The PS3 port's frame rate was bad, the 360 port works fine.

[@theobell2002]

@@raskosworld I thought the customization options were good. Much better than Proving Ground and Pro Skater 1+2. I like that they gave you different bodies/personalities to choose from, all with their own unique items.

[@ItsCruzTube]

I see bam I click

[@bunmiphillips8931]

what is the music mate

[@stepanqwerty]

Круто, я и не знал что они в реальной жизни такое вытворяют

Nada mal para estar viejo

[@beastyxd420gaming3]

Can't believe nyja was that youmg back then

[@DanielBankerOfficial]

We need american wasteland 2!! ❤️

[@roblestheman]

We need America waste land remastered.

[@armkidmustang]

how many beers in was Dustin Dollin when he was doing this

[@shao0076]

If we wanna keep it a buck none of the mocap was featured in project 8 lol

[@7kingly241]

I totally forgot Bam was in P8 !

[@heyhocodyo1997]

Ya Mon!

[@nozumilol]

This game was hot ass

[@ShOscar]

a little word or advice. next time you rip content from a DVD, make sure to deinterlace it with a program like Handbrake. you can use Bob deinterlacing and output it to 60 FPS, so all the frames are preserved.

[@miojo04]

The 900 in this game is patetic because instead of using classic hawk 900 they just took a 540 spin from hawk and added more turns

[@justsayin._.]

So was the idea of motion capture. Every skater had the same exact drunken gorilla posture. This was all bs. Lol

[@This-country-sucks-4]

Technology got advanced yet the games went down hill after 3. Think about that.

[@festavision]

True, making the game more advanced doesn't necessarily nake the game better.

[@ikamusejohnson]

nah imo it went downhill after underground 2

[@arioprayoga1090]

@@ikamusejohnson American Wasteland was good, i think it went downhill after that. Glad the THPS1+2 revived it

[@ikamusejohnson]

@@arioprayoga1090 i agree with that but i kinda feel like it started with ug2 for some reason

[@ristuksenvittu]

@@ikamusejohnson Ug, ug2 and aw are basically same games with different maps and little technical differences, like aw having parkour mechanics which made little to no difference to the gameplay, aw having bmx which again made no difference and then the bertslide which allowed you to save manual balance, which i think was great and the non-special front/backflips and barrel rolls, which i liked too.

[@RealRanger373]

Lol

[@AdikMusicOfficialTM]

wtf 5:03

[@dimeandbiggie353]

I like how they didn't put the black dudes name 😐

[@JumugiDesunra]

That's your biggest takeaway? 🤔

[@RonTheGod]

Lol that's what I said

[@YesOkayButWhy]

I thought the same. I know all you guys know but for anyone else wondering it's Stevie Williams.

[@Siptoseina]

I remember getting this midnight release at GameStop and ended up bringing it back in the next week this game sucks

[@heyhocodyo1997]

Its not that bad, compared to ride and shred and pro skater 5 this looks amazing

[@theobell2002]

Skill issue.

[@Siptoseina]

@@theobell2002 yah I got like 100 plus hours on thug back in the day
