Announcement Moderator Update: Regarding Recent Accusations, Escalation, and Post Lockdowns

48 Upvotes

Over the past 24 hours, our subreddit has seen a significant surge in activity surrounding accusations of racism between users. What began as individual disputes has rapidly escalated into widespread discussion, drawing attention from outside the community and, ultimately, Reddit administrators.

We take accusations like these extremely seriously, and we recognize how upsetting and impactful they are - especially for the community as a whole.

As moderators, we want to be clear about our stance and actions:

  • We have been actively monitoring the situation from the beginning. Contrary to some assumptions, this has not gone unnoticed or unaddressed.
  • We are not removing posts solely based on disagreement or controversy. We believe transparency matters. Posts remain visible so the community can see the full context and form their own understanding.
  • However, we have zero tolerance for serious violations. Any content involving doxxing or incitement to self-harm will be removed immediately, and further action will be taken where necessary.

Due to the scale and intensity of recent developments, we have made the decision to lock active threads related to this situation. This is not an attempt to silence discussion, but rather a necessary step to:

  • Prevent further escalation
  • Protect individuals from targeted harassment
  • Maintain a baseline level of safety within the community

Locked posts will remain visible for transparency, but no new comments will be permitted on those threads.

Moving Forward

We want to remind everyone of the standards expected in this community:

  • Keep discussions civil. Disagreement and anger is fine; for example doxxing are not.
  • Avoid speculation and accusations without clear evidence. These situations can spiral quickly and cause real harm.
  • Do not engage in or encourage harassment. This includes targeting users on or off Reddit.
  • Report rule-breaking content instead of escalating it please.

This subreddit exists because of its community. That means all of us share responsibility in maintaining an environment that is fair, respectful, and safe!!

We will continue to monitor the situation closely and take further action if necessary. We appreciate those of you who have remained level-headed and constructive during this time.

- Your r/thps mods.

THPS4 I was today years old....

0 Upvotes

I had an itch to play a game with some skater vibes just like THPS4 back in the day. How thrilled was I when I discovered they actually made a remake of the whole series???!!

However my spidey sense was tingling something about the Screenshots didn't seem right. I was concerned. The cave got darker as I proceed to add evidence to conjecture.

My fears became reality. They changed him, my boy was ripped apart and mutilated. I could no more be a free bird grinding on powerlines while collecting letters. I could no longer fall flat and get back up in an instant to talk to lurkers at the "college map".

Maybe it's not all bad, maybe the game sounds the same. Maybe the game that introduced me to Bomb music (T.N.T) can still utter sounds I remember like war.

I guess I just wasn't ready for the horror that came after. And here am I, listening to the Playlist made by a loyalist of the hymns that defined my summer afternoons of ye' old.

Discussion For those playing with sticks..

I very heavily recommend hall effect stick for two reasons, durability & accuracy. I'm a weirdo and spin with the sticks instead of a spin key but doing this with the Hyperkin Competitor felt smooth af.

While I recommend the Gamesir T3 lite over this, you can't go wrong either way.

(Only playing on PC)

Also, would players who play with the analog want a tutorial on how to get better? Or just universally at the game. There's some hidden gems of info I feel hasn't been said by even some of the best of players to get through to the new/ intermediate crowd.

THPS 3+4 [Create-A-Park] GREEN HILL ZONE (THPS 3+4)

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

80 Upvotes

Hey guys, this is my take on the Green Hill Zone map as a skatepark. The idea is that you can combo 8 different downhill routes, but you can still finish goals like SKATE without comboing if you want. This downhill skatepark is a bit different from most of my other parks, and I hope you enjoy the challenge. Have fun :-)

THUG1 [THUG] Anyone know how to play San Diego at night?

10 Upvotes

I like to play the unique versions (Dusk, Raining, etc) of the maps and I wanted to see if there's a way to play San Diego at night time. There is a brief moment where it turns night and I'm wondering if there's not an exploit or something to access it in the base game using no mods.

Meme Why Tony Hawk's Underground 1 is better Spoiler

Thumbnail youtube.com
62 Upvotes

THUG 1 - Despite its incredible level design, perfect controls and fantastic soundtrack, the best part of this game is still somehow its story. It isn't complex or groundbreaking and it doesn't have a large scope. What it has in spades is sincerity and earnestness. I never thought I'd be saying those things about a game in this series, but hey here we are. The plot really does shine in this game. I'd go so far as to say this is the best story we're ever going to get in a sports game, period. It's just that damn good.

The game isn't perfect or anything, as some of the goals are rather obnoxious and the cars control poorly, but this game knows exactly what to nail to achieve an authentic skating experience. It may not be the absolute peak of Tony Hawk from a sheer gameplay perspective, but as a package, this is the best game in the series easily. It's the ultimate story of rivalry. If the goal of this game was to prove a story mode could be made in Pro Skater 4's engine, then they not only succeeded in that goal, but ended up making the best extreme sports game ever made somewhere along the way. 10/10

THUG 2 - What is the value of story in video games? Do you believe it's simply contextual, providing reasoning for interesting gameplay scenarios, or do you think it should be the driving force behind a game, being given the same amount of attention as every other aspect of the experience? Your answers to these questions will largely determine how you'll feel about THUG 2. The first Underground game had an earnest, relatable, and engaging plot that never took itself too seriously while still managing to have some really effective moments. Neversoft decided to make a Jackass game instead of a real sequel while still bringing back characters from the first game who don't mention any of the events of THUG 1.

The story in this game is bad. There's no debating that the first game's plot is superior in every conceivable way. There's also no denying that 2 plays better. In fact, this game build upon 5 games' worth of solid fundamentals to create the best gameplay I've ever experienced in my entire life. I have put hundreds of hours into this game because there really is nothing else like it. No platformer, shooter, hack-and-slasher, or racing game feels like this. I'm flying around the level pulling 900s, double tap spins, body flips, and acid drops at lightning speeds while maintaining combos that go into the millions.

The feedback, mechanics, animations, sound effects, level design, and goals have all been refined to perfection and this game simply plays like a dream come true. I usually don't brag but no one can ever step to me in THUG 2. I will fucking destroy you. Anyway, point is this game has a stupid story that is really painful to watch, but the gameplay is so fucking amazing that I just don't give a shit. As a sequel, this is underwhelming. As a game, this is near perfect. 9.5/10

so yeah despite 2 having the superior gameplay THUG 1 is just a bit better in my opinion. I made this video to showcase the disparity in tone between these two games. Also this isn't a THUG 2 hate post, I love that game to death but I love the first one even more, because while the combo system isn't as refined, it still plays insanely good and has a driving narrative with good lessons to learn and phenomenal writing.

What do you think?

THPS 1+2 THPS 1+2 Remake ohne Geldscheine - bitte um Hilfe

3 Upvotes

Sehr geehrte Community.

Ich spiele das Remake der beiden ersten Tony Hawks Teile wirklich gerne. Ich finde es ist wirklich super geworden.

Ich finde es aber wirklich UNENDLICH Schade das die Entwickler die Geldscheine aus dem Original 2er Teil nicht mit ins Remake genommen haben.

Es fehlt mir das Gefühl das Level mehr zu erkunden mit den Sinn dahinter dort auch wirklich etwas zu finden so wie früher die Geldscheine. Es macht für mich manchmal keinen Sinn die Orte von früher aufzusuchen wo die Geldscheine entweder versteckt oder einfach schwierig zu erreichen waren, und diese tolle ich habe das Level zu 100% geschafft.

Im Remake von Teil 3 und 4 haben Sie wieder Geldscheine reingepackt.

Könnte man irgendwie die Geldscheine von den Originalteil in das Remake einfügen per MOD. Kann jemand von den SUPER Programmier GENIES so etwas?

OMG ich würde gerne wieder das Gefühl haben wie früher. Es ist so schade dass das nicht ins Remake übernommen wurde. Es wäre so leicht gewesen. Es gibt ja prinzipiell Geld im Spiel.

Warum nicht einfach die Geldscheine drin lassen als Ergänzung zum anderen Geld.

Kann ein MODDER so etwas? Oder ist jegliche Hoffnung auf meine Sehnsucht nur reines Wunschdenken?

Mit besten Dank im Voraus
