@@almostwins8270 LOL! Why waste money on a piece of shit emulator, with a small selection of games you can do anything with? Playstation emulation is easy. EPSXE runs perfectly fine on a 10 year old PC and after tweaking that emulator, you never go back to the original Playstation or the shitty Mini because once you see the games run in 4K with full Anti-Aliasing, additional Filtering, as well as a nice shader like Asmodean's PSXFX shader suite, you will never accept the disgusting, shitty pixelated mess the Playstation 1 originally displayed.

[@the_letter_b]

This looks bad now but was so fun when it was released. THPS 1, 2, 3, 4 + THU 1 & 2 were classic, but after those, the series started going downhill but I think what really hurt skate games was the obsession over realism that took over by the mid to late 00s. Maybe if you're a serious street skater, those realistic games are better but for most people, the appeal of THPS was all the unrealistic stuff you could pull off while kind of imagining that was you doing those things. THPS is styled like arcade games, which are meant to be fun right away and not overly complicated. The more realistic skate games (Skate in particular, but now there will be Skate XL and Session as well) are more like simulation games, trying to be as realistic as possible within the limits of a game console.

[@BrandonSummers2288]

My friend and I JUST had this conversation. I remember when the SKATE games out the selling point was the realism. While people stated the games had some fun factor it didn't make nearly as much noise. The realism just wasn't appealing. Skating games just don't need realism, it doesn't fit. THPS American Wasteland was a warning sign although I did complete it and found okay...I lost interest with the series afterward and Skating games just sort of lost a place in gaming afterward over the years

[@OneBasedGod]

Looks great and still the same to me. Now with the new remastered it's even cooler seeing it in modern graphics. Is it not?

I cant believe they didnt pull this video due to copyrights of the music. As soon the intro came on my nostalgia feels kicked in.

[@coolmediaz3582]

Fun Fact. I remember playing the Nintendo 64 Version with my older brother all the time and the music was cut down a lot. Especially Primus - Jerry Was A Racecar Driver. There was literally no lyrics, just the verse and solo instrumental. And the main menu didn't have that baseline. Literally every song was an instrumental or cut down a lot. Gold Finger's "Superman" Only had one or two versus and the choruses. I had no idea the PSX version existed for the longest time. And it's pretty crazy how the intro isn't real life footage too. The intro in the N64 was just in-game clips.

[@stock3jacob]

I'm not positive....and I could look it up but I'm not going to.....but I believe that Playstation disks could hold your standard CDR volume of around 650MB. Pretty sure that N64 Cartridges had a MUCH lower capacity....thus leading to things like music and whatnot being cut.
