If you want to try out GPT-5 (mini): From today on you can do so for free on Duck.ai. I saw that it was added today to the selection. #DuckDuckGo

THPS 2003+4, when? Or rather THPS 2003+3 ;-)

On a serious note: I was really pondering before the release of #THPS3+4 if they'd localize the game's title for different regions again just like they did with THPS4 which was renamed Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2003 for its NTSC-J release.

#reTHAWed added THPS3's Los Angeles map recently and I found one feature missing that was in the #THUG2 version: The ability to climb trees. Their intention was to port the #THPS3 version but I think the THUG2 feature of climbing bigger trees and then doing a Natas on them isn't talked enough about.

You might have seen some flock of birds in #NFSMostWanted already as they fly over the streets passing you by but have you seen any birds in NFS Underground 2's Bayview? Turns out the PS2 demo version had them but they must have been removed before retail release.

This is how I render most of my videos nowadays for Bluesky or YouTube. I used to edit and render my videos using expensive software back in the day but for short videos this does suffice. What you see is #FFmpeg rendering in the terminal. Cooler than Movie Maker or Clipchamp, eh? 😉

I don't want to tell you all of my secrets but one way to have a nice view over Guntama is by trying to glitch under objects like rocks/vegetation or ramming into walls and then resetting your car. The result is similar to the 'Swingset of Death' glitch found in #GTA4.

I think dividing the city of Ichikara into two parts was a performance decision. I triggered a glitch that launched me over the city and luckily I took some photos. Here are two screenshots I took. Flying over the north unloads the south and vice versa with the train tracks as a divider 🏙️🚆🏙 #JDMGame

The one magazine you cannot get in the full version and it is also the most expensive one of them all (as far as I know) at a price of 6.99 (if it should be US dollars).

I'm sure I'd pay 6.99 whatever the currency if this existed for real :-)

All frames done in game using photo mode with no editing whatsoever. Just put the frames as layers into your fave image editing app and export as .gif 📷🗻🌃

And I haven't checked whether the bug exists in the original THPS4 but it would not surprise me as the beta version of THPS3 was suffering from the same issue. In the THPS3 demo it doesn't check if an NPC is already at the same position and so a character or vehicle can go right through other NPCs:

And the N64 version by Edge of Reality:

The first thing is just what I was thinking but never seeing the bug in the original versions until now I thought it must have been introduced by TreyArch but you are correct! Edge of Reality and TreyArch both just took the maps 1:1 without checking anything it seems.

Just checked the PS1 version:

Perfect paintjob for this guy:

Using this bug (or glitch?) you can then explore the map a little bit, although still only for 5 minutes. The car is pretty powerful so with its 4 gears you can reach about 315 kmh or 195 mph. It also has the power to jump if you drive against little bumps which enables you to go outside of the map.

(Spoiler alert for #JDMGame) At the end of the game there is a mission where you get to drive the car of one of the bosses for once. The caveat? You are limited to the Ichikara area and it's only for 5 minutes. What can we do about that? Watch my tutorial video down below to explore the full map🗾🏎️☺️

A widescreen patch for #THPS2x got released very recently so I tried to play through the game again and found an interesting bug in the Streets of San Francisco level for the first time ever. You can skate this wall (shown in the video) upwards. Looks like a wrong property was assigned to the wall.

My little nephew says they are mating but I say it is only a bug. But wait...maybe he is onto something and this is why the animals got removed from the Zoo level in #THPS3+4?

Btw, hope they can fix it #ReTHAWed #THPS #THPS4

Had this texture lying around for a while now and put in some time today to finish it. By no means perfect, but the game itself is very dark and I did my best to make it look like in #NeedforSpeedUnderground2 which is a much brighter game. #NightRunners

Yes, that is probably correct. Although I think we cannot be sure what the developers really planned there as most demo and beta versions only feature a dark chunk without a texture as the building at this location. Somebody on the TUFU team however found a much more detailed building in some files:

You were always wondering what 'that thing' is on the minimap at Beacon Hill in #NFSUnderground2? Then I have good news for you: There's someone remaking the game on Unreal Engine 5 and if you're really curious download the demo from their discord discord.gg/NcXcVWtFyj and drive to that location 😉

How I look like when a perfectly fine game I had on my wishlist I was about to buy gets delisted from digital stores because the publisher has given up on it:

I don't know who made this image or meme anymore but I think it is brilliant. If you are the author, please drop a message here! I think both quotes were actually said by these actors in their respective media and putting them into one image for comparison is brilliant 🥇

I'm on Team Rachel and you?

The castles found in #JDMGame are obviously not the only things inspired by real life Japanese architecture. If you've played the game for more than 60 minutes you should've noticed a very striking and bold blue tower by now.
