This is century's ahead of Tonyhawk and they made like 12 already. Skate it's so original and when u land a sick trick and replay it you feel like you accomplished something unlike tony hawk you hold Y you grind for 10 seconds I mean Im a non skater but playing this makes me wanna go buy a board this game is defiently on my to buy list 1st day buy forsure check it out guys.
I also think its very cool. Its funny though. I understand how to ollie and everything, but i find that after i ollie ill want to do it again and i push the A button instead of flicking again, just because im so use to Tony hawk games lol. Yah it takes a while to get use to, but in the end it feels more rewarding because u actually have to line up your tricks. It also looks very detailed and smooth.
you lucky 360 people and your always updated live! i really cant wait to play SKATE!! i have a friend on my ps3 friends list who has a 360, and i asked him to download skate just so he can tell me his impressions on it! lol...well he never got to it, cuz his download never finished, luckily you guys are hear for opinions...i really cant wait for this game! just a random fact, im a skater myself, and happen to be sponsord by my local skate shop :P
But I'm wondering if it will be anywhere near as fun (does it even have offline splitscreen) as THPS (2 for the PS / PS1 to be exact) was with another person.
The controls are much more intuitive than TH. It feels more like you're controlling both the skater and the board as the player, not just one solid object. The tricks, rather than being scripted button combos are all based on the movement of the analog sticks, which is a vast improvement and the direction video games such as this should be moving in (FNR3 comes to mind). There's no button for grinding a rail, rather the board just simply must land correctly on the rail. It all feels very smooth and natural as opposed to mechanical button mashing.
Meh.The controls were a little difficult to get used to...but I'm probably just used to Tony Hawk.AtomicBaconBits
i think the controls are fairly intuitive... it was much easier to learn than the TH controls imo. i thoiught i'd never play a skating game again, because i don't like the TH games. i like this game though.
I didn't really have an interest in skate all that much but after playing the demo multiple times (you only get 30 minutes), i'm definitely going to buy it now. It's a lot of fun because the controls are so well done.
