Grabbed this off the EU PSN Store this morn - I'm not happy with the fact that EA has NOT upped the resolution and graphics after 3 iterations of this game. I look at a game like GTA IV, and the Eps of Lib City, which seemed to actually up the resolution over the original GTA IV on the PS3, which is a HUGE sandbox of a game and the level of detail STILL wows the ish out of me that they could pull all that off.

Call me a graphics whore but I think that's the VERY LEAST a game could have on consoles like the PS3/360.We are NOT back in the days of the PS1 or, even, PS2. Great graphics with good resolution should be the norm, by now. This is 3rd generation PS3 time. The console is about 4yrs old. C'mon, EA.

That being said, the game still is solid, gameplay and control wise. Gotta dig more into the demo

Same ship,different bay. But this ship isn't sinking unlike someone elses. *coughTocoughnycough* Darkslides are nice.

Is it possible to climb up the clock tower?

Re: Skate 3 Demo Available, Post Impressions Here

The one thing that's killing it is off-board controls. Now you sprint and leap with far too much exaggeration. It's just strange, and I really hoped they had corrected this.

Framerate is smooth, pedestrian commentary is hilarious! Hardcore mode looks to be the norm. I hope the real game will have custom music options for the PS3 (that is, adding your own music). Good stuff for the most part.

EDIT: Haha, and you can hassle people until they start chasing after you with tasers!

Forgot to mention I liked the easy mode. The controls seemed precise for once. I tried hardcore and it seemed to be back to the usual. I should probably give it another shot and try normal.

God I wish I had PSN access.

Still, though, I fully expect this game to get my vote for Game of the Year. It's only April, I don't care. Skate and Skate 2 are 2 of my 3 favorite games on next gen consoles. I don't expect my love affair to end with 3.

Re: Skate 3 Demo Available, Post Impressions Here

Tried it out and its really nice on Hardcore mode. For some reason it just feels better than Skate 1 & 2.

But I think I'll just stick with Skate 2 for now. Not enough of an improvement imo.
