Hola Gamers ¿Cómo están? Espero que estén super bien y sean bienvenidos a una nueva publicación hecha por mí. Ya estoy libre de las obligaciones universitarias y quiero aprovechar las vacaciones para crear contenido de los videojuegos que más me gustan, los videojuegos retro, en estos días salí a la calle y vi a un muchacho usando un Skate o mejor dicho una patineta, el chico hizo algunos trucos, algunos le salieron bien y otros le salió regulares, hablando con otra persona me hablo que le gustaba mucho salir con la patineta cuando eso estaba de moda, en Venezuela no se ve mucho eso.
Y esa fue mi inspiración para hablarles de un videojuego que mis familiares (hermano, primeros ,etc) jugaban cuando yo estaba pequeño y como tengo el emulador de Gamacube a tope dije lo voy a descargar y probar, estoy hablando de Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 4 en este caso para la versión de Gamecube, un juego donde somos Skaters profesionales y debemos hacer trucos imposibles en parques, aeropuertos, bahías o incluso en un cementerio para lograr la cantidad de puntos necesarios para pasar al siguiente nivel.
Yo en lo personal nunca he sido fanático del Skate, de hecho, una vez me subí a una patineta, me costaba mantener el equilibrio y cuando anduve por primera vez pensé sé que había aprendido hasta que me tropecé con una piedra y me caí de cabeza y me puse a llorar jaja, desde ese momento no volví a tocar una patineta en mi vida. Pues bien Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 4 es un juego que jamás jugué en consola original, en parte porque estaba muy niño y en ese momento ya la gamecube estaba presentando problemas con el lector de disco, así que las imágenes del personaje caminando son del emulador Dolphin.
Posteriormente, abrí el juego en el emulador y me conseguí con los tres modos de juego principales, tenemos el modo carrera, que funciona como el modo historia el cual tenemos que completar los objetivos de cada pista de patinaje para poder desbloquear nuevas zonas, nuevos personajes y nuevas patinetas, es el principal que necesitamos para completar el juego.
Sin embargo, si eres como yo que no sabe jugar es preferible probar primero el modo libre, aquí podemos patinar sin presión y es el modo que yo elegí para acostumbrarme a los controles y ver que personajes tiene el juego en sí, aparte soy muy malo manteniendo la precisión en estos tipos de juego jaja. Y luego tenemos el modo multijugador, el cual no voy a probar porque estoy sólo, pero recuerdo que mi familia lo jugaba bastante en la Gamecube original, no recuerdo si se podían de cuatro personajes, lo que si recuerdo es que la pantalla era dividida en vertical, en este modo el que consigue más puntos haciendo trucos, saltos, etc gana la partida.
La jugabilidad del juego es sencilla de explicar, somos un Skarter ya sea Tony Hawk u otro que esté por ahí y tenemos que hacer trucos, grinds, y los especiales para hacer combos enormes y sacar altas puntuaciones, mientras más puntos saquemos mejor será nuestra calificación final. En cuento a los controles, yo descargué la versión de Gamecube pero claro, naturalmente un mando de esta consola no se puede conectar una PC así que tuve que usar un mando de PS3 como me caracteriza, y pues no es nada del otro mundo, necesitamos el Stick para movernos, así que si tienes el stick dañado de tu mando no vas a poder jugar jaja.
En el momento que yo lo probé no lo entendí muy bien jaja, digamos que el 50% de mi experiencia era saltar y luego caerme jaja, lo más gracioso es que Tony Hawk tiene sus gritos de dolor bien grabados lo cual lo hace mucho más gracioso, aprendí a saltar y cuando vi una rampa por primera vez hice bien el salto, pero la caída no, no recordaba que en estos juegos a los personajes le salía sangre por los golpes jaja.
Con los botones de acción por ejemplo “Y” podemos pararnos con la patineta en los bordes y hacer trucos, este truco lo intente varias veces y me salió en varias ocasiones, el problema es que siempre me terminaba cayendo de la patineta jaja, no sé todavía cómo mantener el equilibrio, pero si duraba un poco de tiempo en mantenerme en los bordes de las paredes o barrotes. En una de esas elegí el parque de diversiones para ver como era e hice este truco y me salió, mantuve el equilibrio de la patineta por mucho rato gracias a una conexión de quioscos que vende golosinas para terminar en un techo, y después me volví a caer jaja.
Para finalizar, hablemos de los personajes que aparecen en el juego, según tengo entendido en la saga de Tony Hawk siempre encontraremos personajes raros y en este Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 4 no es la excepción, tenemos a Tony Hawk por supuesto, a una rubia sexy, a un personaje de Star Wars (no sé quién es lo siento) y el que recordaba, el zombie morado, yo recordaba que en este juego aparecía un personaje zombie, este zombie es morado con un short desgarrado porque claro es un zombie, un zombie con ropa fina no existe, y no tenía pelo.
También creo recordar también que contaba con unos trucos exclusivos del personaje, aunque no pude sacar ninguno porque soy malo jugando jaja, es el personaje que más recuerdo de este videojuego de Skate, ya que mis primos lo usaban mucho, si lo ven en las imágenes es porque encontré la forma de usarlo sin pasarme el modo historia jaja.
Bueno Gamers, espero que les haya gustado el post de hoy, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 4 es un juego que recomendaría en su momento, hoy en día contamos con mejores videojuegos de Tony Hawk mucho más realistas y populares, pero quería jugar esta versión para saber que tan bueno era y si encontraba a es personaje zombie que se me quedo en la mente, ya que es el único que recordaba y por lo tanto es el más icónico de este videojuego para mí, técnicamente está bien y los trucos que podemos hacer son dignos de fantasía, ni loco lo hago en la vida real jaja.
Gracias por leer.
🚏¡Adiós!🚏
¡¡Muchas Gracias!!

🏂Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 4 Gamecube / Tricks and Falls🤕
Hello Gamers, how are you? I hope you are doing well, and welcome to my new post. I am now free from university obligations and want to take advantage of the holidays to create content about the video games I like the most, retro video games. The other day, I was out on the street and saw a boy riding a skateboard. He did some tricks, some of which went well and others not so well. Talking to someone else, he told me he really liked going out on his skateboard when it was fashionable, but you don't see that much in Venezuela.
And that was my inspiration to tell you about a video game that my relatives (brother, cousins, etc.) used to play when I was little. Since I have the GameCube emulator, I decided to download it and try it out. I'm talking about Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 4, in this case for the Gamecube version, a game where we are professional skaters and we have to do impossible tricks in parks, airports, bays, or even in a cemetery to get the number of points needed to move on to the next level.
Personally, I've never been a fan of skateboarding. The one time I tried, I struggled with balance and ended up falling and crying, haha. Since then, I never touched a skateboard again. Tony Hawk's ProSkater 4 is a game I never played on the original console because I was very young and, at that time, the Gamecube already had disc reader issues, so the images are from the Dolphin emulator.
Later, I opened the game in the emulator and found the three main game modes. We have career mode, which works like story mode: we have to complete the objectives of each skate park to unlock new areas, characters, and skateboards. This is the main mode we need to complete the game.
However, if you're like me and don't know how to play, it's better to try free mode first. Here, we can skate without pressure, and it's the mode I chose to get used to the controls and see what characters the game has. Besides, I'm very bad at maintaining precision in these types of games, haha. Then there's multiplayer mode, which I'm not going to try because I'm alone, but I remember my family playing it a lot on the original GameCube. I don't remember if you could play with four characters, but I do remember that the screen was split vertically. In this mode, the player who scores the most points by doing tricks, jumps, etc., wins the game.
The gameplay is easy to explain: you're a skater, like Tony Hawk or another character, doing tricks, grinds, and combos for high scores. I downloaded the Gamecube version but used a PS3 controller since a Gamecube controller can't be connected to a PC. Using the stick to move is essential, so if it's damaged, the game won't be playable, haha.
When I tried it, I didn't really understand it very well, haha. Let's just say that 50% of my experience was jumping and then falling, haha. The funniest thing is that Tony Hawk's cries of pain are well recorded, which makes it even funnier. I learned how to jump, and when I saw a ramp for the first time, I did the jump right, but not the landing. I didn't remember that in these games, the characters bleed when they get hit, haha.
With the action buttons, for example, “Y,” we can stand with the skateboard on the edges and do tricks. I tried this trick several times, and it worked on several occasions, but the problem is that I always ended up falling off the skateboard, haha. I still don't know how to keep my balance, but I was able to stay on the edges of the walls or bars for a little while. On one of those occasions, I chose the amusement park to see what it was like, and I did this trick, and it worked. I kept my balance on the skateboard for a long time thanks to a connection of kiosks selling candy, and I ended up on a roof, and then I fell off again, haha.
Finally, let's talk about the characters that appear in the game. As I understand it, in the Tony Hawk series, we always find weird characters, and this Tony Hawk ProSkater 4 is no exception. We have Tony Hawk, of course, a sexy blonde, a Star Wars character (I don't know who it is, sorry), and the one I remembered, the purple zombie. I remembered that a zombie character appeared in this game. This zombie is purple with torn shorts because, of course, he's a zombie. A zombie with nice clothes doesn't exist, and he had no hair.
I also seem to remember that he had some exclusive tricks, although I couldn't pull off any of them because I'm bad at gaming, haha. He's the character I remember most from this skateboarding video game, since my cousins used him a lot. If you see him in the images, it's because I found a way to use him without going through story mode, haha.
Well, gamers, I hope you liked today's post. Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 4 is a game I would recommend at the time, but today we have better Tony Hawk video games that are much more realistic and popular. But I wanted to play this version to see how good it was and if I could find that zombie character that stuck in my mind, since it's the only one I remembered, and therefore the most iconic character in this video game for me. Technically, it's fine, and the tricks we can do are worthy of fantasy. I would never do them in real life, haha.
Thanks for reading.
🚏Bye!🚏
Thank you very much!!

I saw this video game a lot when the PS2 console was totally in fashion at that time, many people played it, I personally had never been interested enough to play it, but I enjoyed watching others play it more, I had a cousin who spent hours doing amazing tricks in that game and we had a good time laughing at some of the hits and poses that were done in that game.
Yo vi este juego por primera vez cuando estaba muy pequeño, el personaje zombie morado que vemos en las imagenes lo recordaba claro, por ese motivo decidi hablar de este juego de tony hawk, los personajes que aparecen en los juegos de Tony algunos son extravagantes, los trucos eso no los entiendo por completo jaja.
I played the hell out of Tony Hawk 4 back on the PS2, and reading your experience brought back so many memories — the chaos, the falls, the ridiculous combos, all of it. It’s funny because even though you say you’re not great at skateboarding in real life, that’s exactly what made these games so fun: they let us pull off stuff we’d never dare try outside.
How you walked through the modes and your first impressions. Career Mode was legendary, but Free Mode was where I spent hours just messing around, trying to land combos that made zero sense. And bro… the purple zombie. I had completely forgotten about that character until you mentioned it. That thing was iconic in the weirdest way.
Like the personal stories make the post super enjoyable, even for someone who already knows the game inside out. It’s cool seeing it from your perspective — discovering it through an emulator, figuring out the controls, laughing at the falls. That’s the real magic of these old Tony Hawk games.
Keep these retro posts coming. They’re a great mix of nostalgia and personal storytelling, and they remind me why I loved this saga so much.
Apparently this Tony Hawk game is quite famous haha, because the tricks and falls are very genuine, it happens to me in real life and of course the game doesn't reflect realism, but rather some exaggeration in the tricks you can do in the air, but that's what's entertaining about these titles. The purple zombie is the main reason I chose to talk about this video game first because it's a character that has stuck in my mind since I was a kid, haha.
Thanks for commenting. I'll keep posting retro video games that catch my attention and that I like. Cheers.
That's right, Tony Hawk was generally the first skateboarding game in history that truly captured the style, tricks, and handling of the extreme sport at its finest. A skateboarding game made by skaters for skaters, haha. It's really good; I had a game of it against a friend a while back in Tony Hawk 2, and it's still just as good after all this time. I'll be keeping an eye out. Cheers.
I remember how frustrating that would end up being on my own GC and how it spelled the end of my GC experience altogether. I loved the GameCube but it wasn't nearly as successful as Nintendo would have hoped I think. I had a traveling job at that time in my life and the console was so much more portable than their competitors back then.
I have a love for almost all of the Tony Hawk games but I never did get around to playing this one very much.
That's true, the reader can be very harmful, but there's always a way to fix it. The console wasn't as successful as I expected, but for me it was the last console that seriously competed with the other franchises, as you can see from the game catalog.
I'm not a big fan of Tony Hawk games, but I played this one and others, and they're fun, especially because of the soundtrack.
Ufff, a este le tengo bastante nostalgia - recuerdo jugarlo al menos unas cuantas horas en Wii y hasta llegué a probarlo una vez con un amigo. La banda sonora en particular me dejó algunas canciones pegadas en la cabeza, como Dig That Groove, TNT y Simple Song :]
A mi no me dejaban porque en ese momento estaba muy pequeño jaja, la banda sonora si pude escucharla y es bastante buena, nada comparado a lo de hoy en dia.
