My Nvidia RTX 2070 ran the game at 1080p on automatic max settings just fine for the most part, though did stutter a little on the longer, downhill-style levels, so some tweaking will likely be required if you want it to be perfectly smooth.
Vehicles and skaters have far more detail, there's no obvious pop-in, and the lighting and texture work have many standout moments. Graphically, nothing here is phenomenal but it's a strong remaster of the old levels' basic geometry. It’s one of the best local multiplayer modes of all time, and it turns out ‘trick greed’ is a great leveller. You can still change the word to whatever you like, so you either get called a horse, or much worse. Local multiplayer is exemplary too, with a smooth-running split screen mode and a wealth of game types including the riotous H-O-R-S-E, where you’re given a letter each time you lose to your buddy in a one-shot combo test. (Image credit: Activision) You're a horse There’s frequent joy in discovery as you open a hidden area, fun set pieces to watch and even occasionally some ‘judged’ sessions, where score can be affected by bailing, so it isn’t always just about the mega combos. The game is simple enough that anyone can have fun on their first go (because even bailing spectacularly down the school steps is fun), yet has sufficient depth to keep you playing for weeks. Then there’s the multitude of gaps to jump, special tricks to learn and stats to upgrade. But if this does well, perhaps we’ll get a remaster of THPS3 too. (No, stop that-don’t say ‘let’s go’-that was THPS3. It’s weird that ‘finding the secret tape’ doesn’t actually unlock any of the secret tapes, but hey ho. These come up on the right hand side whenever you go back to the main menu, and beating them unlocks new apparel, decks and videos to watch. For those who want to squeeze every last drop from the package, there are loads of challenges to tick off.
