Re: Skate 2 Demo Available, Impressions Here

I want to pick up skate 2, but not for 60 bucks. I'll probably wait a while until I get it.

Got out. Went down the right side of the street. Jumped off the top floor of an aparment complex and coffin'd down some cool tunnel thing.

Re: Skate 2 Demo Available, Impressions Here

I guess I'm not understanding your complaint then.

Here is some footage of how I play the game (this is not my footage, just similar to my style of playing the game), and I dont really see a "glued effect."

Then again, I play realistically and rarely do 360's (not really a big street trick unless you're Chris Cole)...for example, a 360 kickflip 360 (known as a big flip) is rarely ever done in real life and I never do it in game. I can imagine that it probably looks bad because the board has to be spinning on the same exact axis as the skater like they were teathered together.

I'm not trying to play the holier than thou card on anybody who enjoys this game, I just play it as realistically as possible and rarely do I see things look unnatural and wonky.

Anyone know what this song is????

Do we know if they'll still have the ESPN style skate park with huge drop and stuff like that? Some of my most fun times online were with OS'ers dropping in on the "Big Air" and watching everyone faceplant trying to land some crazy contortion flip.

I remember that fondly. God, I hope so. It was pretty amazing watching guys land insane tricks in the early days before it was old hat.

Re: Skate 2 Demo Available, Impressions Here

Is there any mail on MLK Day? I'm Canadian so wouldn't really know. Maybe that's what's causing the release date confusion.

All but one of the big gaps outside the demo area were impossible to land,one of wich led directly into a fence.

Re: Skate 2 Demo Available, Impressions Here

I still don't know if it is worth buying. If the places to skate are a lot better I'll get it, but getting off the board and moving **** around doesn't really do it for me. That stuff could of been there from the beginning.

youre trippin.

this is a must buy...IMHO

getting off the board will allow you to set up such sick lines.

moving stuff around you just have to use your imagination, man i cant wait im gonna be on this game 24/7

I agree. I still play the original, and it seems like every time I say to myself " I wish I could walk up those stairs and move that bench over there." The option are going to be virtually endless.

PS GSW are you getting this on the PS3? I'm not one that plays online a lot, but I like to skate with a relaxed sim style. I wouldn't mind skating with a few others that have a similar approach.
