It’s funny that it requires you to be online to get past the start screen but fails to connect to the online servers for the game the entire time you’re playing. So there’s a pop up in the top right corner

I'm hoping after this that the Kingdom Hearts series from Epic Games Store will finally be brought over to Steam now, its frankly bizarre its been sitting on Epic Games Store forever and no indication of when those will be ported over to Steam, its the last thing we need from that Store (I waited very patiently for this to happen but I gave up a while back and bought them on EGS on sale and I know I am going to regret it when they are brought to Steam but its a very expensive package when bundled together). I do agree Tony Hawk is ridiculous the single player parts of the game has to be locked online. Its a classic game, the single player parts should be offline.

Was THPS always online on the Epic store too? I tried the Epic version on Steam Deck awhile back. It seemed to run adequately, but the cloud saves didn’t work. I was hoping that the Steam version would address that problem, but the always online requirement mostly negates the benefit.

[ 2023-10-04 17:06:37Z ] 👍 3

It was. Same on both stores. You need to be online to start the game, but you can drop the connection right after and it will work fine. I did this back in February on a long plane ride. Started the game at home, put it in sleep, then woke it in the plane and played for hours.

Dang, I was actually thinking about getting it when I saw that it was on sale, but I agree that forced online is a bad thing. Why would I pay for a graphics overhaul and broken multiplayer services when I can run my PSone versions through a portable emulator that will likely draw less power? Thanks Liam for the news on this, I will pass for sure.

Thanks for the heads up, I refuse to buy any game that has online DRM. Steam will always let you download a delisted game that you purchased. I don't like that the publisher can just shutdown the DRM server and you can't play a game you paid you. I guess this is why the game might be on sale right now.

Ah tony hawk. The one series i played a various points over decades, and somehow never got any better at it lmao. I find these games like impossibly difficult to get good at bc they are kinda like fighting games with the precise inputs required to do well, but its way harder bc you can fall on top of the super complex controls. Just not a series ill ever like, but i used to skate in the late 80s so im like weirdly nostalgic for this shit even though i hate it 😆

The publishers "wont learn" because they still keep making sales, I dont know many gamers who care much about these things. And being always online will make piracy harder, so they will make even more sales. That's the logic.
