Nixian Channel Description:
We’re lifelong video game enthusiasts with a passion for showing the world how our favorite hobby has grown with us, from individual series to industry-wide retrospectives.
We put significant time and creative effort into each one of our videos, including research, digging into archives, recording voiceovers, and editing. Every video takes as many as 10 hours to produce, because we strive to give our fans consistent, high-quality content.
Our popular “Evolution of...” series goes far beyond simply presenting gameplay footage. We take the time to show how a video game property - its gameplay, character designs, graphics, sound direction, etc. - have evolved over time. We include unique voiceover work on each video to enhance the viewing experience.
People have been playing video games for decades. In that time, we’ve gone from moving a white line up and down to block a moving pixel, to participating in full-fledged, painstakingly rendered real-time battles with people all over the world. We help older gamers look back on how these experiences have changed throughout their lives, and new gamers to understand the broader context of the series they’re playing for the first time today.
The video game medium never stops growing, and we’ll never stop chronicling its evolution.
Recording, Editing, and voice over were made by me.

Skate 3 was so ahead of it's time

[@markolivares6943]

Dude tell me about it. Just bout it a week ago and it is fucking to much fun .

[@CMC6996]

Its not nearly as good as 2. The online focus of 3 even in the career was a bad move for the series probably why it died for so long until now lol. It has only in recent years been seen as a cult classic. When it came out I remember it being much more negatively recieved then 2.

[@markolivares6943]

CMC6996 would you happen to know if all the moves are the same through out all 3 games? I know one thing for sure is that you can get of your board in 2 and 3. I just purchased skate 1 and 3 and I really love the first one but I can’t go back to after playing the 3rd one and knowing skate 3 might have a wider moves list . Plus it looks way better since it’s Xbox one enhanced now.

[@CMC6996]

@@markolivares6943 not 100 percent positive but if i had to take a guess I would say 3 probably has the most tricks. However New San Van in skate 2 i think is the best open world of the three games and the best career overall. Skate 3 is definitely worth it though because it's backwards compatible on xbox one and its still a decent game

[@markolivares6943]

CMC6996 thanks dude much appreciated. I’ve been playing the 3rd one for a week and I can’t put it down. Been wanting to play the first one again but what’s stopping me is the limited moves and the simple fact you can’t get off your board. However the career mode for skate one is very pleasant and I’ll most likely play it again just for the fuck of it.

[@priceG]

Tony Hawk's Underground and Skate 2 are still my favorite ones till this day. Skating around Tampa, while listening to "Armageddon", "She Said" and "Don't Wait" was the best experience I've had in a TH game. And everything in Skate 2 just felt right. Realistic and natural. My only complaint is how stiff your skater is when you get off your board. Really enjoyed THPS 1+2 and I'm excited for the next EA Skate (even though it's EA and I feel like they'll somehow fuck it up), and Session.

Faxx Skater XL is pretty dope too (i know its not an EA skate installment)

[@amanteheru8572]

Not skater xl. Everything is too easy on skate franchise games. In skater xl you actually feel like you landed a trick in real life because of the difficulty of doing so many tricks in the game. It's the only skate game ever where you can actually do different pop levels of each trick. For example you can do a quick little Ollie or a medium pop to get up a legde or higher to get over taller objects or onto taller rails and ledges. No other skateboarding game does that which is more realistic than any of the skate games where everything is popped exactly the same. Skate 4 is gonna be like 3.

im impressed by the quality of the animations

[@hypemars]

I feel like out of all these games, the skate series(skate 1, 2 and 3) had the best physics like momentum, you actually have to jump on a rail you don’t just teleport. And you could punch people ;)

[@batmandalorian5504]

I recently picked up the THPS 1/2 Remaster and while it is fun playing them again, I get frustrated at how silly it is compared to the Skate series. I know that the THPS series was always silly, and it was about stringing impossibly ridiculous combos together but after playing Skate 1 and 2 (I never played 3) THPS just feels so ... limiting. I keep wanting to play THPS like I am using the controller for Skate and it of course doesn't work out too well haha.

Tony Hawk's pro skater games will always be my favorite

[@iFailGames]

Wow. I had no idea there were that many skating games before THPS & Thrasher! Also, going to Thrasher after playing THPS was such a mind fuck! Getting used to the controls was a pain (even after I had made alterations to them).

[@RoCkShaDoWWaLkEr]

A couple were left out too, T&C Surf and Skate (NES), California Games 1 & 1 (NES), Skate or Die 2 and Adventure Island (not only skateboarding) to name a few.

Skate 3 since 2011 :) My first game I ever got serious at

[@skittle_juice1995]

Disney’s Extremely Goofy Skateboarding was the best skateboard game as a little kid

Man. I owned the skatepark tycoon games! Absolutely terrible controls but still fun to build your own parks and then skate them.

*No Tony Hawk's were harmed in the making of this video.*

[@eddieclemans5349]

Agreed. I still play it to this day on my Xbox 360 and this game came out when I was a year old.

[@TransferAir]

Great upload 🛹😊👍🏼‼️ … and all real Skaters are waiting endlessly for SKATE 4 😫‼️ The "flick-it steering technique" changed everything & please release more of all these games for: free to play Mobile-Gaming! Would be awesome 🛹🤙🏼‼️
