Nixian Channel Description:

We’re lifelong video game enthusiasts with a passion for showing the world how our favorite hobby has grown with us, from individual series to industry-wide retrospectives.

We put significant time and creative effort into each one of our videos, including research, digging into archives, recording voiceovers, and editing. Every video takes as many as 10 hours to produce, because we strive to give our fans consistent, high-quality content.

Our popular “Evolution of...” series goes far beyond simply presenting gameplay footage. We take the time to show how a video game property — its gameplay, character designs, graphics, sound direction, etc. — have evolved over time. We include unique voiceover work on each video to enhance the viewing experience.

People have been playing video games for decades. In that time, we’ve gone from moving a white line up and down to block a moving pixel, to participating in full-fledged, painstakingly rendered real-time battles with people all over the world. We help older gamers look back on how these experiences have changed throughout their lives, and new gamers to understand the broader context of the series they’re playing for the first time today.
The video game medium never stops growing, and we’ll never stop chronicling its evolution.
Recording, Editing, and voice over were made by me.

Skate 3 was so ahead of it's time

[JasKeJK]

Tony Hawk: *grinds*
Skateboard: i am speed

[tajmonsandwitch]

I like how the Tony Hawk games basically have no physics

[MadMovieMakers]

Backyard Skateboarding getting the most recognition it's ever gotten in this video

[xavnicely]

If you've been rockin Skate 3, give a thumbs up! 2021

[Stoic]

The Skate series was definitely ahead of it's time and I can't even imagine how amazing Skate 4 will be.

[fardinfazil]

Damn I spent hours watching Youtubers play Skate 3

[SNFXVlogs]

The Simpson’s skateboarding was so hard, there was a challenge where you had to grind this high ledge and I ended up snapping the disk

[grmas]

Skate - use foot to gain speed
Tony Hawk games - ENGINES! CROUCH TO SPEEEED ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[Lobodenoche]

it's funny how Tony Hawk has the most games in this whole list lol

9:13 I find it amazing that they made different sounds for every type of flooring

[stiefjac]

THUG will always hold the most special place in my heart

i was a goofy middle schooler who maybe landed a few flips but i could put my face into a game and go pro, and they way they implemented your stats getting better throughout the storyline was just so on point... not to mention that roof to roof gap over the helicopter... goosebumps

[junkyardqueen]

I need to say that all of the skateboard games have an amazing soundtrack

[laurentduval]

I played the absolute business out of Thrasher Skate or Destroy. It had a great soundtrack and the game play was very good. Unforgiving at first but great once you got to grips with it.

[priceG]

Tony Hawk's Underground and Skate 2 are still my favorite ones till this day. Skating around Tampa, while listening to "Armageddon", "She Said" and "Don't Wait" was the best experience I've had in a TH game.
And everything in Skate 2 just felt right. Realistic and natural. My only complaint is how stiff your skater is when you get off your board.

Really enjoyed THPS 1+2 and I'm excited for the next EA Skate (even though it's EA and I feel like they'll somehow fuck it up), and Session.

[Dalton_Boardman]

I really liked the part where the character did a trick.

[crazymarkiplierfan]

The jump from from 1999 to 2002 graphics was the massive in such a short time

[fxkophm]

60% bad graphics
20% whack names
2000% Tony Hawk's....
