THPS4 vs. the real deal

STPHNSN23 · Guest

how many of these moves on the games are really moves? i mean i'm sure ppl aren't out doing 900 japan airs and stuff but are most of them based on real moves?

Yes, they are all based on real tricks. Obviously a lot of the stuff that's done is physically impossible, but the game wouldn't be fun if it was only realistic..

yea its like the smpw coming out i mean can people 911 or toosie roll out of board slides and nose presses?but it makes the game fun plus you dont have to skate or wakeboard all out you can also just go easy like real life

The flatland is pretty much accurate. Watch any footy of Rodney & you'll see. Shocked

Rodney is nuts.... Seriously he just gets better and better.....

Jester · Posted: Jan 14, 2003 8:29 am Post subject:

Yeah, he makes me mad sometimes 'cuz it's impossible to catch up to him. Every time you think you're getting closer (which you never are) he busts out a new combo or trick that'll take you years to learn. I just watched Opinion last night for the 100th time & his part still makes me scream.

"but the game wouldn't be fun if it was only realistic.."

Thrasher Skate and Destroy was really realistic and it was a really good skateboarding game. It was so hard compared to THPS, and I think thats what made that game fun, it was more of a challenge. THPS is just too easy, try playing Thrasher for a real challenge.

rodney mullen over does his stuff...its all freestyle which died like 10 20 years ago...yet this is my opinion if you want flat ground....pj ladd

Yes, Mullen is a freestyler. He is also a bit of a nerd. But he takes his freestyle and is putting it into todays street scene. Darkslides? - I'd like to see one of those on flatground.

How about his casper slides down transitions? Or his manual-flip-manual ability over park benches?

Nobody accuses Daewon of being a flatgrounder......

Anyway, its all opinion. Some skate big, some skate tech. Rodney is tech. variety is the spice of life my friends.

i think that freestyle is the most fun part of skateboarding because it is the one place that you can put your own style to it and no one really know the difference

Do my eyes deceive me??? Is someone really dissing rodney mullen. Everyone should kiss the ground he walks on. He invented almost every trick in the book. Respect your elders!

Yeah I have to agree. Those casperslides down transitions are just insane.
