Tony Hawk's Downhill Jam (Gameboy Advance Gameplay)

[@marissacabato8710]

damn the memories is flashing back i played this all day and all night when i was a kid 😍

[@boomtastic5483]

This Makes the ds version look like HD quality.

[@retroboy-fh1ji]

Also the ds version runs at 60 fps, like american sk8teland haha

[@Gameboy-Unboxings]

It's still very impressive. But people like you can't see that.

[@boomtastic5483]

@@Gameboy-Unboxings but what I can see is that it took you 4 years to bother enough to reply 🤣

[@Gameboy-Unboxings]

​@@boomtastic5483oh man, that hurt...

[@PlasticCogLiquid]

@@Gameboy-Unboxings I fucking love this version. And the DS version :D They're both impressive for their systems

[@Athesies]

Looks like it could be a 32x or a jaguar game almost, really neat stuff

[@danielleonardo6043]

omg the memories lmao

[@jbvnik2631]

Nostalgia

[@driip5981]

yup

[@RatedGaming]

EXACTLY

[@Nikku4211]

I know Velez And Dubail outdid this game, but it's still pretty impressive on its own, and a 3D GBA game that isn't mode 7 or isometric is still kind of rare.

[@GryndStone]

love the aesthetic of this for some reason. hate handhaeld tony hawl games but this is just fun to look at

[@assvibes3866]

It’s so abstract that the pop-in looks like an organic part of the graphics

[@DandyDNA]

yo those guitar samples actually sound good

[@JennyTheNerdBat]

Fum fact: This one is by the same guys who did the amazing Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1+2 in 2020

[@prlysis]

Vicarious Visions made 1+2 and the Nintendo DS version of this game. The GBA version shown in this video was developed by Visual Impact.

[@AyaneOfDeath]

Games like this or driver 2 on gba really impressive. Not even Nintendo did something like this.

[@evasackaton8606]

Well During The Snes They Did Used Somthing That Is Kinda 3d With Star Fox And Stunt Race.

[@mauriciominicuci6544]

​@@evasackaton8606 Driv3r is imoressive, this one is not, this or the 2 (this is from the original commentaro, not you, sorry)

[@Nate_Lighter98]

This was my shit straight up growing up💯

Summer of 2007

[@patrickjohnson1107]

It’s all flooding back into me

[@fraser21]

How is this on a gba!?!

[@hankhill242productions6]

It has nearly no textures so it plays smoother

[@caodesignworks2407]

Look up the GBA Asterix and Obelisk. It's pretty amazing.

[@johneygd]

Yeah am stun too that this is on GBA ,they have stripped all the texture and high dept colors to make it run on GBA,but even V rally 3 on GBA is a fully textured 3D game on GBA at a smooth speed. This is just a shame, it could even run on a sega genesis with svp chip or on snes with fx chip in it.

[@tylerdenaro639]

The music in this video game is so awesome and amazing 👌🎮🕹️🤘🙂🥳

[@eldenboi8354]

How is this playable lol

[@yuh3491]

Iron Man Mk46 idk how me and my brother got so good at this game lmao

[@Alouette_EXE]

Where can i find the OSTs of this game? It sounds impressive for a GBA

Do I hear Crash Bandicoot XS jetpack sfx?

[@oilics5826]

Fuck this takes me back

[@theyreout77]

Graphics like the lovechild of a 3DO and an Atari Jaguar

[@ShutUpBubi]

CHILDHOOD

[@johneygd]

Haha, the 3D graphics are so simple that it could even run on a atari lynx albeit at 5fps. The gba has no builtin polygon feature so it has to do it via software, but the atari lynx does have limited polygon support builtin.

[@DouglasThompson]

Pretty impressive but where are the wheels and trucks?...

[@retroboy-fh1ji]

Atari lynx is inferior to even a pc engine. It could never produce a single polygon, unlike the gbc or game gear which could do.

[@BrandNewByxor]

It's impressive that the processor can run this at the speed it does. The GBA is a surprisingly fast computer. If this runs at 30fps and renders even 40 polygons each frame, that's like 3600 vertex calculations each second for the graphics alone, assuming they're using triangles. They probably shared some of the vertices on adjacent polygons to avoid recalculating too much. The devs clearly knew how to make the most of what was available, I'd love to know more about the inner workings and any technical feats they overcame, cuz I'm just guessing here

[@johneygd]

@@retroboy-fh1ji the atari lynx can do polygons,check steel talons,hard drivin and warbirds,they do contain polygons, However stun runner just uses sprites to fake polygons.

[@RetroNIX8]

just... HOW!?!?!?!?!?!?!

[@philippebeauchamp2827]

It looks like this game was like a last minute after-thought challenge bet by the devs to develop a tony hawk game in less than a week. Look at those buildings LMFAO

[@idoghacker8008]

2 years late but GBA wasn't made for 3D. This is actually technologically impressive for it.

[@feder28]

Full 3D game on GBA How is that possible

[@mauriciominicuci6544]

Pensaba decir que este juego arruinò la franquicia por ser de 2005 (esperando que fuera de 2005) pero no, 2006

[@mauriciominicuci6544]

I was expecting to say that this game ruined the franchuse (excepting this is from 2005) but no, 2006

[@georgee.rimpinen948]

My head

[@hunterallen4231]

THIS... IS.... GBA?!

[@ChaelSonnen000]

Games that should have never been made

[@RereAndRerun]

i cant lie bruh this looks abysmal
