Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 + 2 Trophies Require Some Sick Combos for the Platinum

It's not just practise and being rusty, toward the end of the old games your characters stats will be so high that your manual and grind balance will barely need adjusting which can make million point combos a lot easier!

I was kinda hoping there would be 2 platinums

With Revert being retroactively introduced to these games it shouldn't be too tricky. Timed runs also allows you to finish your current combo if I remember correctly. My old trick for mega combos was to half pipe with reverts into a high score, then do a manual with lots of tricks to get the multiplier up. This can also be done with grinding as well.
Tricky but certainly very doable.

I am so excited for this. Pre-ordered, sat on my PS4 already downloaded just counting down to Friday. Gutted I have to go to work that day, but Friday night is going to be this all the way. The demo has been awesome but I deleted it a week ago because I didn't want to get fatigue for the Warehouse level through over playing it!

I will wait and see just how difficult those two trophies end up being before picking up the game. If they are reasonably doable by someone that doesn't eat, drink, and breathe the game, I will certainly get this remaster.

First game ive ever pre ordered via the store as it was the same price as amazon (and it gave the demo).

Ive already informed my children that i love them but, unless there is visible bleeding or broken bones, i will be unavailable from midnight friday to midnight sunday and their mother should be first port of call in either instance throughout this period.

I remember back in the day I'd just Olli in between tricks and it would usually net me a pretty high score. I don't think those will be as bad as they seem.

Shouldn't be too bad. Just build up a multiplyer, hit a combo off a half pipe and job done. In the original I was very good at getting massive combo scores.

Question is can I still do it in my old age? We'll see on Friday.

I'll be going for this - probably unsuccessfully- my copy got dispatched today so here's hoping it might come tomorrow if the skate gods (and royal mail) allow.

Probably my biggest gaming regret was selling the ps one games back in the day. I just got totally burned out by the series after thps4. I am so ready to dive back in though!

I remember playing the SKATE series and just messing around and watching the character fall off the board from my impossible trick combinations that I knew he wouldn't be able to do haha!

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 + 2 > Marvel's Avengers

Sounds doable. With reverts and QOL changes, it shouldn’t be too difficult.

@Rob_230 I think the series peeked at THPS2 (3 and 4 were ok, but not as good as 2) then fell off a cliff after THPS4, and kept falling with each new release. I have high hopes for this remaster.

I didn't pre-order it because I was waiting for a trophy list, this list doesn't look too bad (and the only multiplayer trophy is just to complete a match).

@Mhoney same dude, like the Crash and Spyro collections. This is kinda different I guess? I dunno

Stoked for this, have it pre-downloaded and ready to go. In some ways playing as weak Tony Hawk in the demo will make us better when we get to upgrade! Massive combos incoming!!!

@TheIdleCritic Let me ask you a question. Would you pass up a game that there was almost no chance that you could finish it? If you knew, without a doubt, that there was a point in the game that you could not pass? I don't see trophies as some external meta content, I see them as content on equal footing to all of the other content in a game. Not being able to get all of the trophies is the same to me as not being able to complete the game.

So would I pass up a great game? Absolutely. There are quite a few that I have passed up over the years, and I don't have any regrets because there are more amazing games being released than I can possibly play in one lifetime, so the trophy list is one factor that I use to narrow down that list.

(This does not mean that I platinum every game I play; but it does mean that I want to be able to.)

There are very few games that have a difficulty spike that I would consider a deal breaker, so that's usually not an issue. But I do avoid all games that have skill based online multiplayer trophies.

@roe hope not! That would suck

Hopefully my muscle memory takes hold. I used to get some nice scores!

These games were pure gameplay - no interest in skate boarding needed!

@TheIdleCritic Before the PS3 I would buy a game, finish it in 10-20 hours with barely any challenge, and never touch it again. Not worth the price of admission. Now I spend 40-80 hours, test my skills against all sorts of challenges and am genuinely proud when I complete a game. It has changed the way I game and the hobby is 100x more enjoyable.

@TheIdleCritic I am exactly the same. A purely offline gamer. The fact so many have online achievements means I ignore trophies but I’ll never understand people that only play games they can platinum. Like you say gaming survived fine before trophies. I think it’s the same as online gaming a way to brag and prove you are a “real” gamer.

Utter nonsense. Play a game and enjoy it.

I’m a veteran Tony Hawk Player. I can pull off these combos real Easy.

@Stocksy I agree.................but in life just like in gaming there is a mixture I prefer offline too my only problem with Gaming today is game patches a lot are releasing games that need patching......that is why I prefer Yakuza games I have been buying digital for 2 years but I am going back to physical.

That list will be a piece of piss with modio. Legit

Well this release crept up on us. I still thought it was June. Haha.

Easy!!

By the time you get to the end of the game you'll nail those combo linking skills with ease.

It's way easier than 5 consecutive wins on Fall Guys!! That stuff is just horrible and takes a lot of fun away, for folks hunting down that platinum, from an otherwise very fun and silly game. I wish trophylists were moderated before the release of each game. These luck trophies shouldn't even exist in the first place, same for online trophies on games like Uncharted or Assassins Creed.
