Nerd³ Plays... Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 + 2

[@littlealexhorne6230]

I have zero nostalgia for these games, but watching Dan play a game he so clearly loves is infectious.

[@Vekette]

Seriously I genuinely never cared for them as a kid but seeing this and how happy he is for it makes me kinda wanna buy it.

[@lwaves]

I have to agree. Never had a skateboard, never wanted one, never played or had any interest in skateboarding games. Yet, because of Dan and seeing the large open levels, I keep thinking I'd like to give this a go. Are we infected? Is Dan the new Covid?

[@SavageBunnyGetMoney]

Seriously I remember unlocking all the characters like officer Dick lol

[@tigamaki1345]

same on kinda wanting this now. dan makes it look so fun

[@DjDarkD]

Yeah.. Burnout messed up their oppurtunity.

[@ogrejd]

What the Create a Park needs is the ability to set up goals so people can complete them like proper levels, even if they don't get XP for them.

[@esquared722]

yeah, i remember they had that in THPS4. Also, would be nice if you could skate around the parks in private multiplayer lobbies

[@ianmiller6040]

@@esquared722 I think 3 let you do that, as well. I'll start it up again tomorrow to check.

There’s a certain nostalgia feeling that only Tony Hawk’s games can give

[@chrisgreen3324]

Literally, heard Superman by Goldfinger and was immediately transported back to those days

[@lopsidedhead]

I love hearing Dan in his happy place. It's so wholesome

[@bavarianbanshee]

I do love that Dan still calls him "Tony Hawk's" when referring to the person.

[@benedictrogers1478]

I thought he was just confusing him with the comedian.

[@popcorn-2684]

"LOOK HOW GOOD SCHOOL LOOKS" - something I never thought I would hear Dan say

[@djGLCKR]

Dan: "Also there's assist which is just basically cheats..." Me: "Man... Remember cheats?" Dan: "... Remember cheats?" :D

[@JD1611]

Cheats still exist but now they are called 'credit cards', can't see it taking off.

@@sp0rk_ttv I was commenting more generally

[@BaldMancTwat]

@@sp0rk_ttv Sims 4 still has regular cheats, and it's an EA game. And yeah it is ridiculously priced but tbh, EA Play is £20 a year. A YEAR! and you get access to pretty much every EA game: Sims 4, Starwars Battle Front 1 and 2, Entire Battlefield Series, Entire Need For Speed Series and much more. Sounds good to me.

[@WR3ND]

Yeah, these days they're built in to games for accessibility or whatever. Wouldn't want to make people feel bad for cheating or something. lol

[@maxwelltaylor5699]

Please for the love of god we need a "Nerdcubed Learns: Skateboarding" series

Be even better if someone in the fandom knew tony and got them in touch for the series XD

[@Cadrid]

It’s gonna be awkward when Dan screams Tony Hawk’s name in the bedroom tonight...

Dan playing a game he genuinely loves just makes me happy.

[@alansmithee419]

7:30 "This is business time" *smacks into the ground* Yep that's business all right.

does anyone else really want a planet coaster style endless playthrough of Dan building skate parks?

[@Eggy-bp6pj]

Well, I guess we won't be seeing any of Dan for the rest of the year!

[@CatmunistMeownifesto]

Oh this gives me so much nostalgia. I remember doing ollies over homeless people on Venice beach w my dad. Edit: OHMYGOD THE SOUNDTRACK!

[@XxDyneXxFreeEnergyx]

Developers: This is an apology for Tony hawk's Pro skater 5 "Releases THPS 1& 2 remastered" The fans: apology accepted!

[@SirMangler]

to be fair Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 5 was from a different developer entirely.

[@SpindlyJohnny]

@@SirMangler And yet they still felt the need to apologise for the disgraceful abomination to humanity that was THPS5.

"Here I am, doing eeeeverything I can." God that soundtrack is amazing.

[@wsimmons920]

Remember back in the day when you'd buy a game you'd actually get the whole game and itd keep you entertained and engaged for months if not years. This gives me hope we might get back to those days

[@corny2092]

Its almost like if devs take there time to make a good game , dlc is basically not needed! though i would pay 10 bucks for thps3 as DLC...

[@NyxDiscordia33]

"game"? What's that? You mean slot machine? ATM? I'm really not hip to your lingo.

[@jackrobinson382]

*Cries in Paradox Interactive*

[@hebl47]

I really love two kinds of Dan's videos: The ones where he's genuinely over the moon and the ones where he really hates a game. Basically when he's just raw emotions.

[@EJGarza]

"We don't need Skate 4. We got Tony Hawk's." You are so correct.

[@ohmanhotham8823]

Except for the correct part.

[@StrangeClothes]

I thought I was decent at this, then Dan beat my highest combo whilst in the tutorial

[@TheOnyxRanger]

"I've decided my look is 'ska'." Well, you ARE playing a Tony Hawk game...

[@Pokemanic33]

I swear it's been years since I've watched a Nerd³ video and it feels like nothing has changed

[@DaneTheDane]

I didn't grow up with these games myself, but I have no words to describe how good it feels to see a remake of beloved classics be so warmly received by someone who loved the original. Now, if only someone would create a remake of Bugs Bunny & Taz: Time Busters...

[@Bookmaster19]

I absolutely love watching Nerdcubed play games he loves. Only problem is he said "Thanks Tony Hawx". Poor Tony, Dan loves your games so much and doesn't know your name.

[@umphreak9999]

Impulse bought this yesterday for the nostalgia, immediately remembered that i suck at Tony Hawk games (if you need someone to land every single trick exactly parallel to the lip, I'm your man) and most of my enjoyment came from watching friends play it. I'm still happy with my purchase, 10/10

[@sandwich2473]

10:44 that makes me happy

[@kylekepner594]

My favorite part of this video is watching this grown man relive his childhood. The sheer joy you can hear in his voice is amazing. Its like a kid playing a game for the first time. What a truly amazing thing to watch. Happy for you Dan!

[@odrwzh]

Remember opening Pro Skater 1 on Christmas, with my big grey playstation. I didn't see my family until boxing day. Those were the days.

[@thebigdipper3338]

It's genuinely heart warming to see Dan this excited.

[@sorio99]

Truly, Dan’s sheer excitement for this game inspired me to buy it, and the last Tony Hawk game I played was that weird Disney/Pixar one for GameCube.

[@FranticFoxBass]

Whenever I am sad, I come back to this video. It's like hanging out next on the couch next to your super excited friend during the 90s watching him play in total enjoyment. Makes me smile everytime.

[@bolicob]

I've only ever played THUG, but I have quite a bit of nostalgia for it. My favorite part of that game was the level editor, so when Dan found the smart pieces I went from mildly interesting in this game to completely and utterly sold.

[@IHOMilk]

My reaction to this was pretty tepid at first, right up until he started playing Hanger. Then it was like a core memory and been unlocked and I felt true childlike happiness.

[@josephshearsmith1055]

I enjoy seeing Dan be good at a game, such a rare treat

[@williamhorn74]

I have never played these games before but there is something so infectious about seeing dan so happy to play a game that I now have to try this game when I get a chance.

[@Badusername2000]

This video made me wanna get the game even more than i already did, i didnt know how in depth the Create-A-Park was. All of it looks so good

[@Riilaxed]

just watched your old video of THPS5. and i love how excited you are now! i played the old tony hawks SOLO. i never switched the game out. always was just playing this game. and now finally i can skate again. i hated all the tony hawk newer editions. like HD and 5 i wasn't feeling it and was dissapointed. but this!!! is HEAVEN

I'm having a nostalgia trip watching, this was me and by lil bro favorite game growing up.

[@Thorstendeal]

I love the fact that I could hear Billy talents afraid of heights in the background

[@danlemongton7534]

These games were some of the best parts of my childhood. Me and my sister only got about 1 or 2 games a year and these along with the third game were some of the first we got and we played them from the time we woke up to the time we went to bed. We settled arguments by seeing who could get more points in the timed runs.

[@lewcot99]

Literally childhood memories are flowing through me, all I need now is 3+4, American wasteland and underground 1+2

[@PecaJumper]

I want to meet dan one day, and just give him a hug, one hug. For making my childhood, teens, and soon adulthood more bearable. I was here from the beginning and I'll be here until the end, which I hope isn't soon.

[@Siegmeyer_]

Man watching you brings me nostalgia, not just you playing Tony Hawk. I’m remember you playing one of my favourite games of all time, Bully. This is also one of my all time favourites too 🔥🔥🔥

[@nickcossey121]

[@julianbrosh3426]

My older brother and I played this game for the last 3 days straight. This level of nostalgia is real and made us feel like we were kids again.

[@spagamoto]

This game is just so much a part of 90s culture. I must have played it for *maybe* 30 minutes at a friend's house but I *still* somehow know some of the secrets just via 90s playground chatter.

[@theuserofthissite]

@@LauraaaxxH out of any of the Tony Hawk games, it was one of my favorites.
