Remaking Tony Hawk's Underground | Part 2 - Big Bad New York

[@NoviListovi]

There’s just something so uncannily delightful about seeing our boy Steve, looking incredible, skating around the best-looking version of THUG’s Manhattan I’ve ever seen, with animations on par with Skateboard Park Tycoon Back In The USA 2004.

[@MitchMakesGames]

😂

[@okeus]

hands down the coolest "i'm remastering x" series i've seen in a long time

[@MitchMakesGames]

🙏

[@SlightlyTired]

Needs more puddles

[@peenurmobile]

just add a layer of water, like wet dry world in mario 64

[@SWAYZEKOBAIN]

Needs more cowbell

[@TheEvansRacing]

I love it man! My shout for a coffee or two, now for part 3 😂

[@MitchMakesGames]

Cheers!

[@Quest24kobe]

Shits beautiful

[@JohnsGoated]

Gave him 15 dollars just for him to not post anything in almost a year

[@TheEvansRacing]

@@JohnsGoatedI hope he's okay!

[@MaNNeRz91]

​@@JohnsGoated Must have been some strong coffee

[@QuincyKane]

I just recently replayed this game on PS2; it's really cool to see you making this!

[@StaredownGames]

dekkuls, huh. that's a new one. We say dee-kals round here. Fantastic job!

[@Billjo5]

yep never in my life heard dekkles

[@noahdoerksen1908]

It might be a Candian thing as I pronounce it that way also. The only time I hear DeeKals is when watching Nascar so I figured it was southern or at least an American pronunciation

[@StaredownGames]

Stuff like this keeps the world interesting!

[@mattiswithdrawn]

Was gonna say the same 😂 deckles 🤔

[@manashieldworld]

​@@noahdoerksen1908As a southern American... I'm shocked no one else says dee-kals.

[@StockholmDIF]

Amazing, best game there was. Hope you’ll go all the way. Cheers from Sweden

[@MitchMakesGames]

Amazing! Cheers from Canada!

[@AustinCurtis]

1 episode a year?

[@stef-ruvx]

You gotta get those animations 1 to 1.. frame by frame and then this would be perfect!

[@Baker_tL]

Been waiting for this bro, Manhattan is my favorite map!

[@cbxrk]

Been really enjoying these videos, excited to see where this goes!

[@DynamiteBigB]

Hope this project of yours is still kicking. Awesome to see the progress you've made

[@justinmaxon12]

I watched the first episode and now this one and I am flat out blown away that this is possible without totally recreating everything from scratch. You’re obviously very talented but this goes to show that these studios do not care to put in the effort. I can imagine a studio of 20 employees with you leading being able to put out a project like this in a year with great results. Really hope you put out more videos!

[@TBAG]

one of my fav ps2 games ever made! so cool you're remaking it

[@garbagepriest]

this is beyond amazing. truly great job, Mitch. absolutely lost for words.

[@Craftz93]

Thanks man

[@itsalpca]

love the project man but every time you cut between the original gameplay and your own, i can't help but feel the original game still looks better.

[@MitchMakesGames]

I sorta feel the same way. The art direction of the original is really cohesive and great- and that trumps realism every time. There's also currently a lot of grittiness that's lost in my version, that I'd like to improve in the future by adding some more weathering.

[@AlexDestroyerOfEarth]

​@@MitchMakesGames it probably has a lot to do with lighting. Unreal makes everything have a very... Unreal look that is hard to escape.

[@DENMAR411]

I put hundreds of hours into THUG in the PS2 days. This was the first time I realized there was a McD's in the Manhattan level

[@ezwr3kz420]

So you never did the Boneless mission??

[@DENMAR411]

​@@ezwr3kz420focused so hard on the Boneless that I didn't even see the burger shop I guess

[@putitonmybil]

@@DENMAR411 to be fair, the guy giving you the boneless goal outside the McDonalds is a Japanese sushi chef!! lol

[@Whytho2000]

Bro You earned a sub for sure. This is amazing. This is one of the greatest games of all time. Ohh man I cant wait to see what Vancouver looks like. it was one of my favorite levels, and then Hawaii. And the soudtrack for that game is still fire.

[@TaintsVidsInc]

Never seen a series like this. Very freaking sick

[@MitchMakesGames]

Thanks!

[@hesterkarr1136]

Fantastic. Not sure how much work you put in this, but this is amazing. Thanks for the upload. Wish I had the patience and knowledge to tackle this.

[@LosTimeNeos]

Can confirm that there are constantly puddles everywhere in New Jersey.

[@battlekry1978]

This is awesome dude! Loving this series so far :D It only needs the right skating mechanics with ramps and rail collision and that Manhattan remake is golden lol

[@kizwiz6]

Just discovered these videos. This looks great, man. Really love your passion and I'm jealous of your ability to be able to do this. You've picked the perfect nostalgic game for many to fawn over too.

[@JustJoshinYa93]

Been a long time. Hope you're still doing these.

[@Promany551]

FUCK YEAH PART 2 YEAH WOOHOOOOO

[@leftturnn]

Couldn’t agree more! 😁

[@Brendyn4222]

Any updates? Hope you’re doing well man! Love what you’ve done so far!

[@goregrindisthebestgenre]

This is so cool, I love what you’re doing and appreciate the work. One thing you should be doing though is at the end of the video, giving a tour so we could actually see the level. Just a like 30 second skate through.

[@xtheyan]

Dude you deserve like at least a million followers !! It's so awesome .. great work!!

[@FlamRackett]

Doing good dude, looking forward to the next part. I give so much respect to Neversoft for how they must of programmed the actual skateboarding to be so fluid, even in the early games.

[@ShreddexReturn]

I hope you keep working on this. Would love to see what your remastered Hawaii or Vancouver look like

[@emanttnf]

This is amazing and ur dedication is awesome.

[@drewglue]

I'd pay money for these maps in skater xl

[@k6nga]

same

[@TakeThePenn]

I’ve been looking forward to this, sir. Thank you!

[@toddbarriage]

This is so gnarly dude

[@Brychu665]

Man! I hope you and the guy behind the THPS Pro mod get together. With your levels in that engine I’d be in heaven

[@owenl7598]

Really happy to see a part 2 on this, this series is awesome. If you could get these ported to THPS 1+2 once it's all said and done you'd be a hero to the TH community! Looking forward to seeing Tampa next it's my favorite level.

[@Muhcrew]

Check out THPSPro, there you already can play some remastered levels already.

[@anthonynicholson3994]

All I needed to know was if I was possible THUG 1 and 2 were my favorite games ever and you have motivated me to learn how to code just to do this so I can play again with updated graphics. Will return with updates if it comes to fruition.

[@symys6738]

Just checked in on this channel because I love the project and videos so far. Hope you're well!

[@hardiesmith2056]

What going on? Been awhile, did Activation already send you a cease and desist? Will we ever see Tampa or Hawaii, San Diego can be skipped for all I care.

[@DailyShit.]

Why should they send him anything? As long as you don‘t realize the project this is completely fine.

[@J1ntu]

Yay! I was hoping you'd upload another part! Can't wait for part 3 ❤

[@BienSwinginbase]

NYC in that looks goated boss I love playing old Tony Hawk Skater Pro/Underground. 🔥 🐐

[@c.j.rockwell5803]

0:55 The deckles??? lol

[@calebelliottguitar]

That’s what I’m saying 😂😂

[@michaels.watkins9258]

Yea wtf

[@Nick_Tank]

Watched the first episode and got hooked!! Part 2 pops up in my rec page and im excited again!!!! Hopefully we get another episode soon🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 been playing all old THPS games rn on my ps2

[@cjhouse8666]

This is becoming one of my favorite series to watch. I truly appreciate your love for the game and care in remaking it. People like yourself are the ones that should be leading game development. These shady game publishers and burnout/lazy devs could learn a lot from just your attitude towards this project.

[@MitchMakesGames]

Appreciated!

[@bobross9370]

Leading game development? Are you serious? There's a lot more that goes into it than just importing a bunch of pre-made work into a UE5 project.

[@MitchMakesGames]

@@bobross9370 My skill set aside, I think he means people with a passion for the project should be leading the project. This is something that is lacking in the modern game industry.

[@bobross9370]

@@MitchMakesGames Not trying to insult you in any way, I'm sure you have a solid grasp on game development, video production is a job on it's own, nothing wrong with cutting some corners here and there. I just think his comment came across as very obtuse/naive, he pretty much stereotypes all "leading game developers" as "lazy" and "burned out", but doesn't realise that there is a lot more that goes into creating AAA games than is shown in videos like these, you *need* to have a lot of passion to be able to get on the same level as these AAA leading roles, look at Cory Barlog, he has spent close to 20 years on God Of War, if that's not passion, I don't know what is.

[@MitchMakesGames]

@@bobross9370 Totally agreed- in any artistic industry you do really do have to have an extreme passion for the art form to get to the top. Those are the people who should be the shot callers.

[@Sleezy.Design]

Awesome progress! Great work!

[@josebiux]

Idk why they are making new Tony hawk games instead of remaking THUG, THUG 2 and THAW. You did a great job man! I'll wait for the next episode. New sub!

[@tvdetubo240p]

Very cool. This is my favorite Tony Hawk. I'm following your project and rooting for you here. 🇧🇷

[@xAlteredEgo]

I’m so stoked for this series

[@MitchMakesGames]

Will start on Tampa soon!

[@victoriousgangster]

Will this be released when it's fully finished or not so much due to copyright?

[@startrakambassador3632]

Bro this is pretty much perfect, I hope you can get a team that modify the game physics to the point that it plays like THUG1

[@noahfuelgaming8121]

AMAZING. You're doing something way better than Activision ever could. As a former Game Dev, It's always astonishing what can be done using Unreal

[@BeegDongLeFleur]

Damn, dude! Keep it up. Cannot wait to see a finished product if it ever does see the light of day.

[@SeanBarrett666]

Nice work! Love steve's ass-out skating style lol.

[@RawLmax]

So stoked for this!

[@DommoDommo]

Yoo this is coming out SICK! TAMPA HERE WE COME!!

[@samuelordway-nh4oh]

i played underground as a kid with my brothers this game a lot and i was hoping so badly that somebody take care of a remaster not even remake a remaster is enough to bring back that feeling ❤️ thank you dude for showing me how it could be :=)

[@CaseyMongilloYT]

This. Is. Amazing. Cannot wait to see where this goes.

[@voila999]

Been waiting for this 🤘

[@mariotullece]

amazing project, plus you're highly talented!

[@micksey.]

i adore this project.

[@Kazuma_Drake]

You fixed the hands awesome can't wait for the development maybe it'll be playable when it's complete

[@invention64]

Please continue this series. It's such a cool project.

[@emmanueljames9029]

"Tf you lookin' at..you wanna date or something?" "I stopped dating dwarfs last week!" Lol

[@Chauder]

We need these in games like SkaterXL and Session!

[@k6nga]

porting these to skater xl would be huge i really hope he considers this

[@MikeBoarder-rw1ij]

Add skate mechanic/animation please!! btw OG Steve was best THUG character! 👌

[@Lordjerry431]

Please don’t stop making these videos your awesome bro!!!

[@linuskarlsson9449]

OMG your videos are amazing!! Can't wait for the next one!!!!!

[@Herdetzy]

Ready for part 3 now 😅

[@adrianniechcia2579]

Great job! Are you maybe gonna remaster THPS4 or THAW?

[@swaginik]

please keep doing these cant wait for barcelona

[@officialaniverse.x]

Dude's putting in the work. Too bad the care is not looking exactly as the one in the original game.

[@Kali-Yuga-Peace-Corp]

Have you seen what Muhcrew has done?

[@Andre97SV]

The best idea someone can have... This game still being the best Tony hawk game

[@blackiechan18]

Very underrated content.

[@fatfurie]

anyone know how difficult it would be to get these levels into the THPS 1+2.. they have all the 3+4 maps but theyre THUG PRO quality...it would be sick to skate on these.

[@RJRD46]

Incredible work👌👌

[@hewhoeatscheese]

Nab some of the animation files from the THPS 1=2 release, that game runs in UE.

[@MitchMakesGames]

Yeah that would be doable with Umodel

[@PixelKhaos]

...deckalls? Thats one pronunciation I haven't heard haha

[@MitchMakesGames]

It's specific to Canadians 😅 But I hear the other one so much they both feel kind of wrong

[@kalani2784]

Love this series. Also what are the chances of someone porting this to Tony Hawk pro skater 1&2 as that is also on unreal engine?

[@baggytony]

Duuuude meta human Steve looks dope!! The clothes fit a little too tight tho in my opinion haha

[@xpndr0]

ok what about the skate part?

[@k6nga]

please consider porting the NY map to Skater XL you'd make sooo many people happy im begging you. i know there will be plenty of people willing to support $

[@speedy]

The levels look good, but it's not a THPS game if the controls don't feel right. Would love to see you tackle the movement and flow sooner than later as I think perfecting that would let you make level changes which work in tandem with the moveset

[@MitchMakesGames]

Been working on it!

[@hikikomoriiii-y1w]

Interesting video man, love this game.

[@r.j.nicely5734]

Is it possible to somehow import the physics and animation from THPS1+2? I believe it was made in Unreal 4

[@mcgregathen420]

Bro when are you gonna start on the Tampa Florida map they need to remaster this gorgeous piece of art for a game

[@cruelr9458]

these series is dope !

[@andyTHPS]

While this is obviously impressive and entertaining, i can't help but feel like continuing to create levels without iterating on baseline mechanics is coming across as "check out these youtube videos" instead of "check out this game." Getting more than 2 or 3 levels deep without proofing some controls/physics/handling could lead to you redoing a lot more level work than you'd like. Also as a selfish player and viewer, i want to play it, and it doesn't look playable so far. TL;DR: "Step 2, draw the rest of the owl" Either way, it's cool stuff. Keep it up.

[@speedy]

Agreed

[@RashaadGenie]

Hell yeah - highway section up top was always the coolest.

[@marianoalvarez6467]

You are a true talent! How can i support your work?

[@beybladerjam123]

I’ve seen people use the Tony hawk physics in other remakes, are they not able to be ported into unreal engine? Don’t really know how this stuff works

[@BrianM-s8q]

I think just the arms kind of need a fix like balance style when triggering an animation if possible and it will looks more clean

[@VivianNightshade]

Manhattans level trucks had open doors on the rears that you could get inside of if you tried.

[@boarbark]

i'm stoked on this. fucking rad you're doing this. Steve looks like he has a pinecone in his ass when ollieing though lol

[@EllisJonesDeath]

Is there a way we can maybe "inspect" these levels. Maybe donate a few coffees to you in return to load them up and have a closer look

[@sLaMz1o1]

this is an absolutely amazing and impressive recreation, but i wish you would focus more on the skating aspect of the game. Maybe detect edges for grinds and such? Im also an indie game dev, and ive easily put over 100 hours into this game as a kid as it was the first and only game i ever played online on my PS2

[@dixienormous1481]

Do you stream by any chance? Would love to watch this be done in real time

[@ekojar3047]

I just thought of a great Tony Hawk project that might be easier to do than the full levels. Do you remember the Create A Park feature? Basically bring that into Unreal Engine. Clean up or redo the models of all the parts, ramps, and buildings. Its kind of a lot of objects, but it cant be anywhere near the number of objects in a real level. Like around 100-200? I don't remember there being a massive library of things to chose from, it was just enough objects. some of the bigger ramps were just parts of a level too. Your Park had to fit on a tiny PS2 memory card back then too so it couldnt have too many objects in the first place. If you could port the game controls and animatios, the create a park controls . It would be a relatively quicker way to release a playable game. If we can get that gameplay engine. The game would go... The player makes a park then skates it. Thats it! Thats the game. Im playing with blender right now, im a veteran graphic artist, i would be happy to help out with models or textures, anything i know how to do, im no coder or programmer, i know my art, and i love Tony Hawk games!

[@THECHRISAL3X]

Not saying this is Gods work, cuz im a Pastor and it’s weird coming from me BUT….GOD BLESS YOU 😂 we need this bro.

[@Valzentia]

This is the coolest thing i've ever seen.
