Did these games have NPCs or were you just skating solo in a barren world?* *Also will the new game have couch co-op?* Thanks.*

I'm trying to think hard through every level from 1 and 2. On the whole there defintely were not NPCs, but maybe in a map or two there was? But I think mostly no.

There will be "co-op" in the sense that everything from the originals is being brought over, but every multiplayer mode I remember from THPS 2 except free skate (you both just mess around in a level together) pitted you against each other in split-screen.

In the remasters you’ll be able to play locally and online. I do not know if that means they will include modes like King of the Hill and Graffiti, though. I also don't know if that means they'll include any new multiplayer options either.

Thanks man I appreciate the response.* *My personal favorite is still THUG 2.**

I believe the only time there was a NPC in the pre-Ps2 era games was a moving vehicle, like the golf cart in High School 2 in THPS 2. Otherwise, they didn't start appearing until Pro Skater 3 on the Ps2.

My favorite THPS experience was playing split-screen Tag at the school in THPS 2 with my friend late-night (back when us kiddos did sleepovers haha).

Did anyone else ever ollie and not boneless in the process? It always got you more air than not.

Oh my god, pleaseeeee. I don't get why EA has not started remaking their EA Big titles yet, must be a licensing pain in the *** for some, but that does not apply to SSX. (Also the SSX reboot was good and deserved to keep going)

Only an insane person didn't boneless.
