You can land big drops by holding the ollie button in every game with the mechanic including THPSHD. Still annoying but not game-ruining once you get used to it.
What i wanted to say
I actually only learned about this a couple of years ago after almost 15 years of playing these games.
So I could understand why some people don't know how to recover out of big drops.
was about to say this too, seemed like the rewiever didn't know this and thought it's a forced bail every time? I actually liked that mechanic and wouldn't even have minded if they kept it in the later games, maybe with its own landing animation to give big gaps a more realistic feel of the impact. also thps2x looks pretty dope, never got to play that one. and the ps1 version of thps3 and 4 just look like bizarro world, I like it though
Best way to mess with my friends as a kid. I wouldn't tell them the way to do it!😇
I never had problems with big drops 'cause me and my friends always play holding the X (jump/ollie) and letting it go to do a trick and then returning pressing the X so I never quite understood why/how some people bailed big drops LOL
RIP in peace, all Skaters who were lost to Big Drop mechanics...
@@parasme To be fair, maybe he meant RIP as in like the cool way to say youre skateboarding. Highly unlikely. But just an observation.
Didnt they have big drop in 2x?
"Tony Hawktober 2018 has been a wild RIDE of ups and mostly downs." I love that description 😂
Tony Hawktober 2020 is gonna be beautiful tho
Kaiser Wilhelm II well said mate things are looking up now
thug pro is so good, lets play everyone. i always go back to it.
Beleth I hope thps 1+2 takes a thug pro approach and makes a new home to play all (a lot) of the maps
@@dmsoda2874 The online multiplayer will need a lot of expansion.
I would play it if did have the level of polish the first 4 pro skater games has. You can abuse the geometry of the old levels and create a skater that is like 6 meters tall, it's a super-fan looking mod, no professionalism at all, they should limit these kinds of things. And change the damn custom player models to not look like the dwarves from Underground 1 and 2.
@@damsen978 It's a mod for THUG2 and the levels are direct ports of the geometry but they've been making patches and bug-fixes this whole time so they are arguably the most stable versions of the old levels available, with the greatest amount of quality-of-life updates. If you don't want the classic exploits, you can turn them off in the settings.
If you don't want a giant or tiny CAS, just make a normal sized one. I don't think your character model size is related to the size of your hitbox anyway... so a giant CAS hits a QP exactly the same as a dwarf.
@@SeekerGoldstone Yeah that's what i do, i make a regular sized pro looking skater with pads and all but then i see a nude red skinned dwarf or a giant CAS and it's super-immersion breaking, that's my point, it needs polish, not tech-wise, but immersion-wise.
One thing they could do is to change the 3D models of the pro characters to the ones seen in Pro Skater 3 or 4 where they look pro af with the right body proportions and all. Then limit the size and exaggerated proportions you can give to your CAS character and that would be it. Maybe also give an option to change the gravity to make it play more like Pro Skater 1 and 2 where everything feels heavier and more rewarding.
This marathon was a lot of fun to watch. It introduced me to a lot of Tony Hawk games I missed out on. It also brought back a lot of memories despite me mostly playing Project 8 and Downhill Jam as a kid lol
Glad you enjoyed it mate! :)
@@SquareEyedJak if you met Tony hawk what would you do
BIG DROP MODE: I never knew that big drops could be landed. However that doesn't excuse the fact that it's an intrusive gimmick that otherwise shouldn't be there.
Anyway, I'd like to thank everyone for their awesome support of Tony Hawktober 2018! If you haven't seen it yet, *check out Episode 100 of the show here:* czcams.com/video/A-7ByXV5iIw/video.html
Seriously guys, thank you so much for this week! I hope you all have a great fucking day and thanks for watching! :D
no problem man
yeah these vids are great but you cant be a THPS reviewer and not know how to land big drops, never caused issues for me
I find that the people who complain about big drops are just bad at it. Having cut my teeth on hundreds of hours of THPS2 it's second nature after a while. I understand the frustration after coming from games that don't have the mechanic but it's not so bad once you learn it. It's actually satisfying like in Gears of War when you get that perfect reload. It's almost always possible and feels good to do. Missing it creates tension.
@@Rickles "It's an instusive mechanic"
Bro just press X what the fuck
Press x on play stations
"where is powerman 5000 you cowards" i honestly subscribed for that comment
Recently I’ve played through THUG 2 and THAW and I enjoyed them I recently got my hands on the Xbox version of THAPS 2x and holy hell I haven’t had that much fun in a long time! Thank you for covering these games 👍🏽
"THUPS TUX" is now (imo) the canon pronunciation for THPS2x. I love it.
"whooper" is my favorite Square Eyed Jak phrase
Ok i feel I should just mention this because I’ve seen you fall on the big drop time all the time. when “big drop” comes on, you continuously hit the Ollie button in a row And the “big drop” will get you an extra 4000 points and you won’t fall.
And on a side note... only 6/10 on ps1 version of pro skater 3?! It’s a masterpiece to me! If back in the day you didn’t have money for a ps2 but had a ps1 still, it would be just as enjoyable as the ps2 version. You gotta keep in mind for the next gen version they switched the engine. So there was certain things that the next gen version could do that the ps1 engine couldn’t. Which is why there’s no stopping the police chase or anything
Responded to this in the comments of THPSHD, since it's never mentioned in game and I never owned the manual for THPS2, I never knew that they could be landed. Despite that, the mechanic is still incredibly intrusive and doesn't need to be there.
An awesome end to Tony Hawktober 2018 :D Thank you yet again Jak for bringing back this series :) All the hard work has definitely paid off
So uh... Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2x was the first of these games I really played, and it made me a fan of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater. Funny how that works out, huh?
THPS2X was actually my first tony game and because of this it will always have a special place in my heart
I've absolutely loved Hawktober for both this year and last year, I've never really played Tony Hawk besides one of the PS2 ones with my brother when I was incredibly young yet I still adored Hawktober, you managed to get me invested in a series I had no interest in for years which i think is really impressive, I wish best of luck to you and greatly anticipate Hawktober 2019.
Awesome, thanks! :D
@@SquareEyedJak how about front line assembly as the techno music?
Thing I love about the WHOLE Tony Hawk series Is that it seems that everyone has a DIFFERENT favorite game.
my god...i am so glad i found this guy. One of the funniest youtube channels ive seen. And best accent!
“THPS2X wont make you a fan of the series”
me, whose first owned game was THPS2X and whose love for the series grew with said game: And I took that personally
This series have been some of your best videos so far Jak, I can tell you put your heart into this! Cant wait to see how much you improve over the coming year!
I really like that you make your own video game logos for your videos. Gives off that "professional" vibe.
Another great ride. Till next Tony Hawktober 🙌🏻
SEJ you've done well banging these reviews out everyday for the last few weeks. Kudos!
Tony Hawk Pro Skater 3 on PS1
was the first TH game i played in my life!
Seriously loved this year's Hawktober, it was certainly an improvement over last years. Also I NEED to check out that fan-made mod holy shit.
Cheers mate, definitely check it out. Really cool!
amazing vids i cant believe you only have 19k subs you should have like 10x that just found your channel because of hawktober and i love the thps games, time to go back through the rest of your vids! cheers
Thanks! :)
Well this year's Hawktober is certainly better than the last, but how will next year's fare?
Whatever the case, I will continue to enjoy the future content you bring!
Looks like you got your answer lmao
This aged very well
Yay! I was just about to ask if you were going to cover the handheld games but then got to the point that you say it's happening next year, good to know there's another Tony Hawktober coming next year and you're not stopping at the main console games.
Glad I came across this video. Thoroughly well explained, kept me interested and learned more and hit some nostalgia 😊🎉
It was a wild ride this week. Thanks for your hard work and the quality content!
The vocals for Police Truck can still be heared in the video if you turned the volume up, that means he's not using the Instramental version made for the N64 verson of THPS1
This was such a suprise, and a good one imo, this has been another great year of tonyhawktober, and im glad I was actually around for this one, aposed to last year, not even knowing about your channel, thank you for all the great reviews and great videos, and I can't wait for next year ;) Your a awesome youtuber, thanks :)
Appreciate it, cheers mate! :)
if you hold x, you wont bail a big drop. you're just running at a 101 level.
It’s already over :( these were some of the best reviews ever. Congratulations man, keep up the amazing work.
THUG PRO: The Smash Ultimate of the Tony Hawk games.
More like project M....since both were major fan made mods of their aeries
Damn Jak what a great series! I can’t wait to see what comes next. It’s been way awesome getting to see a new video every damn day this week! You kick ass mate!
I don't know if you know this but in THPS3 when you have big drop pop up (depending on if you aren't too high or on a bullshit placed curve) if you press X at the right time you will land perfectly without bailing, I just thought I would share that! This week has been an awesome one and I had no idea that the pro skater series were on multiple consoles so I learned something too! Loved the series man, can't wait to see what next year has in store! :D
Amazing job Jak really enjoyed this years Hawktober and I can't wait for next year!
The effort you put into your videos really shows, cheers for the quality content! This influx of videos has been such a treat to look forward to each day :D
This series has been amazing. Thanks jak
Dude I love you so much ❤️😂❤️ you’ve honestly made me laugh so much 😂😂😂, also pro skater 3 and pro skater 4 are my favourite games and I still go back to play them , they’re just so good , kick ass sound track , amazing level design , awesome secret stuff to find , just so good .
I take my hat off to you, Jak. I genuinely enjoyed every episode of the series and I'm glad we even got to see your dad making an appearance. Congrats on hitting 19k subs, keep it up!
Cheers mate! :)
You've done it again Jack, this was my first Hawktober and what a one it's been! I'm now off to watch the previous Hawktober as well go on the hunt for the Tony Hawk Pro Skater line of games from the original PlayStation and perhaps even beyond! :D
Glad you enjoyed it, thank you!
I remember playing Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 4 online on the PS2 back in the day, had a great time getting wrecked :D
Great way to finish it all off this year! I loved this year even more than last!
SEriously tho, THUG Pro also has that custom Soundtrack feel and all of that, Makes it more fun than ever.
"But more on that next year"
The time has come and so have I
@@michaelfortesque1331 The damage done, the pain subsides
@@ZbuntowanyGwindon And I can see the fear clear when I look in your eye
@@michaelfortesque1331 I'll never kneel, I'll never rest
The original tony hawk on ps1 will always be my favourite. I'm so confused about what to do sometimes I wanna throw it all away. Doing the wallie to get up to where the secret tape is in the school is probably the hardest trick in any game.
My first Tony Hawk game was thps 3 on ps1 and it blew my mind, to this day i never knew there was a ps2 version with more content
Loved Hawktober this year, now begins the looooong ass wait for the next Hawktober! Wonderful stuff Square Eyed Jak!
I grew up with the original Proskater on the N64. I still feel nostalgia every time I listen to the shitty, cut down and compressed versions of licensed songs on the N64 version.
Your doin this tony hawk thing next year what a mad lad
Can't wait to see not only Hawktober 3 but also everything else crazy that you've got lined up.
An amazing finale to Hawktober dude.
i love your reviews on tony hawk games
man i love your videos i always get hyped up whenever u upload :)
Well I have enjoyed ever single second of Tony Hawktober. Sit back and be very proud of what you made this week man. I really look up to you
Cheers mate, I just can't believe it's over! :)
@@SquareEyedJak surely there's still a making of video 😌
Yeah and outtakes etc. but don't get me started, that shit can wait a little a while. I need a break!
I never knew about the multiplayer thing either until now! Pretty nice that you showcased it!
I'm so glad you're not ending Tony Hawktober! May it be an annual thing for years to come...somehow.
Wow, a whole week of well edited, well written and funny videos with a lot of personality.
I hope you get far more subscribers 'cause you deserve them!
Appreciate it, cheers! :D
Well, another season of Tony Hawktober in the books. It was a good one, Jak! Also, THUG Pro looks fucking awesome! When I saw that, my eyes lit up with excitement, that is simply amazing that this even exists. Maybe you'll see me online one day. But thank you Jak for always giving us something entertaining to watch and always putting 100% into your videos. It honestly means a lot because not many CZcamsrs care about putting in the effort for their content and it's just good to see your strong work ethic. Keep up the good work bro!
Appreciate it, cheers mate! :D
I've seen this series like a dozen times, it is so damn funny. This youtube channel gets, 10/10.
Whopper score, cheers!
Holy crap I never realized how much better THPS4 looked than THUG until you put clips of them next to each other like that.
Can’t wait for James Bondember. Just kidding. I enjoyed every video. Amazing work. Intros are well done once again. Each video was well explained. I can’t believe it’s over and been a year since Hawktober first started. Thanks Jak.
I love the content jak, keep up the good content
Not just the last N64 game in America, but the last one ever.
Next month is Hawktober again, and the remake just came out. Cant wait to see Squares there!
I just cant get enough of how great these videos are,
they aren't perfect but that's kinda the charm in my opinion
the live action segments in the previous hawktober episodes have this fine line of professional review and some bloke making a vid for college.
EDIT: thanks for the heart :)
Again: You can land Big Drop Jumps by holding Jump and land the trick.
Tony Hawktober was legendary last year.
I only ever had the ps1 version of Tony Hawk's 4, didn't really think about the fact stuff would have been cut from it til now
Definitely give the 6th gen version a go, totally different game!
I was wondering when you were getting to the handhelds. Something to look forward to next year, this was a very fun Tony Hawktober!
Man this has been an awesome Hawktober. Cant wait for next year
Great work as always Jak, continue to amaze :)
Cheers mate, appreciate it! :D
Yoo I didn't realise you were at 19k subs, I've watched all the hawktober videos under the assumption you were at a couple hundred k at least, production quality on your videos is insane, and as someone who skates and also grew up with thps titles these are super entertaining and well out together, keep it going man
Appreciate it mate, cheers! :)
This is really *TIGHT* thanks jak
after watching the entire of hawktober 2018 this has been a massive project nice going Jak and THANK YOU for the honorable mention of THUG PRO that fan made project is just amazing and maybe i should play it again someday ....when not fixated on other games
It's funny, when I played all the OG THPS games, I did so on the PSX! I didn't play any next gen ones till Underground on the PS2 and Proving Ground on the PS3. Didn't realise the PS2 versions were so different!
Another great Tony Hawktober, looking forward to the next year!
that was a great week ! i look forward to next year !
That comment may have sounded negative... but it is spoken out of love. I miss these games...
Great videos, always look forward to seeing more Tony Hawk =)
Rest in peace, TH games. You deserve it.
They really need to start producing more Tony Hawk games. How else are we gonna celebrate October in two years?!
I think it's amazing that those games were good on every platform they were released on
Thanks for another great Hawktober and also for reminding me that I need to fix my PC so I can run THUG Pro. Can't wait for next year.
I don't get the big drop hate. You can do a 3 minute 5 million point combo and can't press X when you land?
Here's to next year
Great way to finish the series Jak 🤘
Lol you can land big drops. Saying it shouldn't be there is just anger that you didn't know you could.
Man. I hadn’t played Tony Hawk in a while. Last game I had played was Underground 2 GameCube, so seeing Thugpro makes me wanna try to play it. It would be an awesome time to have
So Jak, I've seen all your Tony Hawk reviews so far and have really enjoyed them. You've done a great job. Now, I must confess, I haven't played a Tony Hawk game, but thanks to you and The Completionist, it makes me want to try the series out. I'm just a little let down by the fact they're not on PSN or Steam or at any retro game shop I've come across. Hopefully, I can find them all (up to Proving Ground) online. To be honest, I wanted to try the series out even before HawkTober, but you convinced me to get into the franchise. Keep making awesome videos Jak, to get more people into more great franchises, and warn people about the bad ones. I'll always be watching, by the way.
Cheers mate! Glad to see you're keen to give them a go, don't pay too much for them online though. They're all either best sellers (so many copies that they're not worth anything) or so garbage nobody wants them. Depends on the system of course but, don't bankrupt yourself. It is a good series to get into because majority are incredibly cheap compared to a lot of other big name series.
Yeah, what I'm mostly afraid of are those scratchy discs (especially for the first two games on PS1). I had that issue when I first bought Crash 1 and 2 for said system, and they were so glitchy I had to get the PSN versions on PS3. I didn't even try to get physical copies for Crash 3 or CTR before jumping to PSN. Hopefully, I'll have better luck with Tony than I did with Crash.
@@SheriffDuncanFlynn games with light scratches thar numerous will work (on PS2) but it's the games with the deep scratches you have to watch out
great work! i love your channel
There is literally a tip that pops up on the first level that says "Press X on impact to land big drops".
having re-played these all thoroughly, let me say
*THPS3 PS1's* levels are BETTER than THPS3 PS2. fight me in the streets. It feels like in compacting the levels they kept the best parts of each level, trimmed off the fat by removing empty/confusing/awkward areas (i'm looking at you Canada wilderness), they added tons nice little touches and GREATLY improved the overall combo flow I think. I think honestly the same goes for THPS4 PS1 to a lesser extent.
.
*THPS2X's* handling of THPS1 is an absolute joke. Not only is it pathetically easy with the enhanced moves but no rebalancing of points as you mentioned, not only is it easier to begin with than THPS2, and you play it after THPS2 and X so your skills have sharpened through that, but they DON'T make you get the stats over again, so not only does that take away an objective in what's already the shorter, easier game, but you can start it with max stats. Jesus christ you can blow through it in 5 minutes.
.
*THPS4 PS1* I feel like I agree on the quality of it, but I like/dislike it for somewhat different reasons. I think the goals are fun, but my main problem is the levels feel totally dead and lonely without NPC characters, when that was one of the biggest reasons I like THPS 4. It feels like you're the last survivor of an apocalypse and are hallucinating these challenges, even compared to THPS2 they always had glimpses of life in the levels through sound effects, the bull running around, the bum, or cars driving by. THPS4 PS1 has literally nothing in that regard.
also it still has a landing stat despite big drops being removed, so you can waste stat points presumably.
I definitely prefer Kona in THPS4 PS1 to the PS2 version, it not only has a nicer sky, but as you say regarding the THPS3 levels, it just flows better as a result of being compacted.
Man, Tony Hawktober was great man. Please tell me you have plans to do similar events for other series. These are so well made and entertaining.
Appreciate it! Right now, I've only got Hawktober next year planned but when I cover a series all at once, it's pretty special. Hoping the next big series review can kick off 2019. Cheers! :)
10:35 my reaction to vicarious visions merging with blizzard and cancelling the Tony hawk 3+4 remakes
I think the subway and the skyline level from 2X was reused for Tony Hawk Pro Skater 5 as rooftops and Underground
Can't wait for next Hawktober
"Forgotten Because, I Forgot To Cover Them At The Time."
That's usually how forgetting works! 😆
Awesome, I was hoping you'd talk about THUG Pro at some point. One of the best game mods of all time in my opinion, I actually bought a PC copy of Underground 2 specifically so I could play it.
Yeah it's really awesome!
Schwifty Stardust THUGPRO is awesome. I'm glad I can keep up with everyone there
Well great hawkoctober like last year can’t wait for next as I have very little experience with the handheld games. All that’s left to say to you squared eye jak is have a greeting fucking day.
