I'm about halfway done on the demo. Lets just hope the hype is as good as they say it is.

EDIT: Just grabbed the demo, Its a bit hard to get used to but its new controls. 20 minute limit sucks anus :/

I played it for a few minutes. funny how there like ya we want to give you the feel of actually skateboarding and w/ the flick it controls you get the feel for it and the sense of accomplishment. Funny in real life it took me about an hour or so to ollie and in the game it only took a minute w/ 45 seconds of that being the video on how it's done. I will post more later. so far I haven't felt any accomplishment from this game nor am I any closer to doing a real life kickflip. lol. so far skate FTL.

Well, of course wiz. i mean, its probably is as real as it can get for now. At least it wasnt like TH ollie in 2 seconds haha. But really, its a game compared to real life. There is no comparison. I think the fact of the matter is, you want realism in a skateboarding game, go buy a complete and do it yourself. (Note: If i just sounded like a dick, sorry, didnt mean it, just trying to get a small point across...lol <3 Jason)

Skate demo fuckin blows. Not gunna buy it. Controls are awkward as hell.

Hold right analog to crouch, then flick up to ollie. Yeah, got that.
To move hold A or X. But going from A to the right analog stick and holding it down, is awkward. Then u loose speed cause u need to hold down to get air, whiche you loose momentum from.

Like I said, this demo could make it or brake it.

Posted by: =BGOAT=FoG Aug 21 2007, 10:43 PM

I love this game. It does give you that feel of accomplishment when you pull off a really awesome trick (Backflip Christ Air for me). The controls are unique and they grow on you after a while.

ya, a lot of people have been praising this game and how awesome the demo is, then i come here and many people seem not to like it.

ill see what i think of skate after a demo comes to the PSS.

I like how it's freaking hard just to do a kickflip

DOWN UP LEFT RIGHT

WTH?

Posted by: Oompa Aug 24 2007, 12:49 PM

^well thats what all these kids that really skate wanted, they wanted the game to be hard to do simple tricks. theyve been saying that forever >.<

same here... played it at a freinds house... but i thought the game was WAY too hard and confusing... it took me a LONG ass time to figure out how to 360 flip.

and grinding a rail is hard as hell.

i didnt like the demo... or the control scheme

but the way i see it is ... you either love ea skate or hate ea skate... theres no in between.

it may have been semi real. but it was very unfun for me

REASON FOR EDIT: had to fix a sentence

Posted by: =BGOAT=FoG Aug 29 2007, 02:14 PM

The glitches in the game are like Gears of War. There's this fence glitch which can allow you to get into the sewer part of the level. You can't really get outside of the fence because of invisible walls. Video links are below.
