The fact that Neversoft left, completely destroyed the Tony Hawk games. It's like carrying around a gun without the bullets. Tony Hawk was the gun, but Neversoft was the bullets & it made that weapon fire. As soon as they ran out, they replaced it with Nerf ammo.

I bought this game (the entire package) for $9 when I got my PS3 a couple years ago. $9. And the dongle didn't want to sync with the controller so I was never able to play the game. Money well spent.

I remember when my friend first got this game out of the box. Within about a half hour we decided to just go out and actually skate.

Most third party PS3 peripherals didn't use the built-in Bluetooth but instead used infrared receptors which the PS3 doesn't natively support, hence the dongle. Makes sense, as Bluetooth peripherals ain't cheap--note how the official DualShocks for PS4 are $60 but third party controllers average $20-40. You're not just paying for first party prestige, you're paying for Bluetooth.

Third party controllers are always $20-$30. All the way back to at least N64/ PS1 days. That's the only reason people often suffer through how terrible they are. It's not just the Bluetooth that makes them more expensive. Especially since Adopter member class is free and modules can be had for less than $4USD on eBay. Manufacturer quantity pricing would be a ton less.

@@caodesignworks2407 oh man, there were actually some good N64 3rd party controllers back in the day. Can't remember the brand name but I had a dark red one and a dark green one that were excellent, I'd often use them in place of a 1st party. It was very comfortable to use and even had grip on the "fins" or whatever you'd like to call em. Come to think of it, N64 had some pretty crazy 3rd party peripherals. I had a couple controller wire extensions, plug one end into the 64 and the other into the plug on the controller and you could play across the room from the TV! I also had an actual wireless N64 controller that required a dongle be plugged into the controller port on the system. It didn't work great (imagine that!) and the controller itself didn't have a very substantial feel so it didn't get much use. Not to mention it ate batteries. Good memories!

@@caodesignworks2407 that's awesome! Think it mighta been Mad Catz lol. Those wired controllers were boss though.

The dongle was necessary for the PS3 version because Sony didn't allow third party developers to use the PS3's bluetooth function. People speculate the reason why had two reasons. 1. Sony wanted their first party controllers to be superior to third party ones. And 2. The Bluetooth is a potential entry point to hack the system and they were on a big push to prevent people from hacking the PS3. (To the point where they pursued legal action against a person who successfully put linux on the system after it was patched out) For the 360 version I dunno. Activision's Guitar hero controllers didn't require a dongle.

Btw Neversoft took over the Guitar Hero series in 2007. So it's not only that these controller-based games were popular, there's also a direct link to the developers of the THPS games.

Thanks for playing this so I didn't have to. I remember when this came out, I knew it'd be a big ol' stinker... I was like, "wow, they didn't ruin the franchise enough with Project 8, now they're resorting to gimmicky peripherals?" Nuts.

So sorry you have to go through the torture, Rad Rat...so sorry

I never understood the controllers that make you do stuff. I play video games to sit on the couch, if I have to run around and risk a sprained ankle, I go outside and learn the real thing. To each their own, it just isn't for me.

I see you fixed the problem with the glare from the light. 👍The logo in the background is a nice touch too. The 100% black background was kind of eerie.

its funny how tony hawk has said before that he's skeptical about putting his name on anything because he's afraid that if that product turned out to be trash, it would hurt his credibility but his name is behind skateboarding game atrocities like ride, shred, downhill jam and proving grounds. I guess 2006 - 2012 must have been a financially hard time for tony.

I doubt he had much of a say in it after he signed the initial contract. Activision owned the Tony Hawk's license and there's not much Tony could do about it other than break the contract, I think.

oh man I love your channel so much. I'm also a pretty technical person when it comes to skating so seeing someone else with the same interests actually making awesome, well produced content is always nice!

Modders should make a vr skate boarding game that uses the ride board

The sad part is that this game is still more fun than THPS 5

Rad Rat looks like he aged 10 years in this video.

Watching you spin around in your socks on that carpet is hilarious. What were they thinking releasing this shit? Like another user wrote, thanks for your sacrifice.

Hey man, I got a tip for you. Take your ISO off automatic and set it manually, you'll notice you won't get that random flicker/ light change when you move around. Unless you like that, then it's cool.

I just started binging your game reviews a couple of days ago when I found Project 8 and played it for a bit. Imagine my surprise when you have a brand NEW review, days later! I really dig your channel my dude, cheers.

Nice work on the lighting! This video looks really nice compared to the older ones

About the dongle: The Wii and PS3 versions both had dongles, but the 360 version didn't.

I remember watching the promo for this and Mike mo was so hyped saying it was a childhood dream finally coming true. When I saw the reviews I felt so bad for him more than anyone else involved init.

Haha he was so hyped on thps 1+2 remake though, got a great consolation prize years later.

I remember there was a stupid challenge where you had to beat Nyjah in a game of skate and it was *literally* impossible because the controls never fucking worked. I got so frustrated that after that I actually never played it again.

ah, yes. me and my brother got this game for christmas back when it was new. never worked.

Guitar Hero on PS3 also needed the dongle for E A C H instrument minus the Microphone cause that thing just USB'd straight in. I always wondered why as well.

The PS3 didn’t support 3rd party controllers. The dongle was the only way to hook them up

The pads on the bottom of the deck aren't to prevent scratching up the wood floor, it's to stop you slipping and landing on your face

Hey bro. Can you identify the difference of will fyock inward heels to other inward heels like nicktucker. Thanks

I fell twice playing it then pawned it for a guitar.

Say, Rat. Can you review MTV Pure Ride this winter? It's a really cool snowboarding game and I think you'll love it!

Love your vids brother keep it up ✌

Thanks for fixing the glare on your glasses present in previous vids, it definitely was a bit distracting before.

Is Laserflip a recent trick name? Because every single Tony Hawk game calls it a 360 Heelflip. Is it for the sake of tradition? Because as far as I learned, an FS 360 shove combined with a heelflip is a laserflip.

Tony Hawk's Ride To Irrelevance

As good a job as you do with several of these challenges, you make the game "look" really good and fun 😂😂😂 PSYCH

This channel is wayyy too underrated

He looks like he would skate mongo.

sweet editing on this one!

their is a skating game called yanya caballista city skater for ps2,you should do a review of that game and it's a game that people don't know about

Are you gonna do the backyard skateboarding games? theres a pc version, a gba version and a pc rerelease with an extra level

The dongle is needed to by pass the Bluetooth certification for the consoles. It's why rock band uses them too. However for 360 ms blocks them. Also the controller was revamped for shred to have better sensors

This was hilarious I want to see a speed run next

the dongle kinda makes sense i guess, you needed them for Rock Band/Guitar Hero peripherals as well

I think someone had sacrifice for the team.

Is it actually fround apon to mongo push cause personally i find it really comfy to ride mongo since i ride goofy but have to do tricks in regular (idk why im fucked) so if im in regular and mongo push i can stay in my trick stance but i cant do tricks with my left foot (btw im still a begginer so idk too much)

This is gonna be a great watch!

Never played this (Poor Kid) but looks kinda awesome. Did anyone ever make a better version of something similar? Maybe for PS4/XBox1? I like the idea, ifbit could be put together well or atleast playable.

Isn't it possible that that particular dpad isn't working since it's a used controller, not a widespread issue?

I think the sensors may work better on a solid colored floor, without patterns or large variation in colors.

Download fresh tracks on App Store. Fun snowboard game. The graphics look dope on ride .. is it possible to just play it with a controller?

In the time it would take to complete this game 100% you could probably learn how to do some basic skating with tricks

Can you please review SSX 3? Its one of the best snowboarding games to date and I'd really like to see an opinion about the game from you

Rad Rat do you play XBOX ONE?

I spent all my birthday money on this when it came out and i literally cried the night i played it.

Do a todd falcon final level review?! I'd like to see your view

I remember thinking this was a gimmick and basically the end of the th games. Oh well at least we have the classics.

I remeber getting this game and having a lot of trouble with it. It kinda turned me away from the series for a while, I would be on the floor using my hands instead of my feet 😂

The dongle issue seems to be the same with Guitar Hero controllers, at least in my experience.

so happy I never wasted money on this game

Looking forward to the shred review.. And then thps5 on last and current gen consoles rights?

I guess the impossible in this game is really impossible XD

you're making it look pre fun to be honest

this game and DJ Hero were some of the worst investments i ever made in my life but i actually played and enjoyed DJ Hero 1 + 2... i played this like 4 times tops and took it back

I never played it but it seems like it has more depth and content than THPS5 at least, am I correct? The levels look much more appealing and a lot bigger to me. If the controller wasn't so pricey and it actually worked properly, would it be an okay game content-wise?

Wait. What if an unlock was a board wth greater speed or air abilities? That nolli challenge wouldn't be a problem... I bought is for historical and novelty interest for $20, a looooong time ago. And damned if the tester and collector in me couldn't get the actual skater in me to (what felt like) relearn how to skate for the game to work. I love peripherals, so it is a cool looking controller.

bro maybe do a video on wakeSKATE as the sport or something like that

I DIDNT PUSH MONGO GUYS I SWEAR

I actually loved this game wen I was 14. I guess that's what happens wen you only have two games (wii sports and tony hawk ride XD)

There is pain in your eyes

when was the last time you skated

Seems like fun, in theory

When i saw the thumbnail i thought you were playing a ps2 kids skateboarding game.

Me and my son bought this for shits and giggles and we have a blast with how craptacular it is!

Anyone remember the ps1 skateboard controller that you could use for thps4? it was even worse than this lol

sorry you had to play this but i enjoyed the review :)

I had ride when I was a kid

Remember that PS2 game with the fingerboard adapter on the analog sticks? It would be cool to see you do that one if haven't so far. www.amazon.com/Yanya-Caballista-City-Skater-Playstation-2/dp/B00005OLX2

I can't believe Tony Hawk 5 is still $59.99 on PS4,what a fucking rip off..

They should have just made a rhythm. Like across btw DDR and guitar hero and the challenge modes.

Hey why do we call step ups Euro gaps? From watching your goofy vs regular video I'd assume there was just a shit ton in Europe and we were lazy and said "Ohh yeah that euro gap" and the rest was history lol

Basically they tried to copy top skater by Sega but epically failed

The only thing I enjoyed about this game was the clothing selection, it's actually pretty decent. But sadly, it's not worth actually having to play this game.

Do Airblade on ps2 . its hoover boards but i think the phsyics are cool

Not gonna lie, this looks pretty fun. Just a shame it's much harder than it looks. I'd of brought it if I saw it when I was younger, thps games were so fun up until thug2 then they kinda went to shit. I really want skate 4.

you remind me of toby from the office
