Grinwhrl Posted August 22, 2007 Report Posted August 22, 2007 Awesome! It actually takes skill to master your tricks and the environments are beautiful. Camera and controls are pretty solid. I will buy this one for sure Quote
Mazy Posted August 22, 2007 Report Posted August 22, 2007 Was downloading way too slow yesterday, never got it down. Also fucking Forza 2 constantly steals the intarweb when you're not racing :G Gonna check it later tho, hope its good Quote
Rick_D Posted August 22, 2007 Report Posted August 22, 2007 yup,. i totally know what you are talking about - i'm also glad you didn't bother to provide any links, it's cooler that way. :roll: Quote

Rick_D Posted August 22, 2007 Report Posted August 22, 2007 checked out some screens and read some articles - and man this looks fantastic. I've been waiting for something like this since Thrasher: Skate and Destroy. THPS is utter shit, literally I wouldn't take a shit on it, it's not worthy of my faeces. I guess I have a reason to buy an xbox (not too sure about how well PS3's online stuff will be). Quote
Scinbed Posted August 22, 2007 Report Posted August 22, 2007 Yar, sweet demo. I predict a lot of retry attempts at challenges in the final game, especially ones that fail you for bailing (I imagine there will be some). Quote
st0lve Posted August 22, 2007 Report Posted August 22, 2007 Why haven't I got an Xbox yet, cause I really want to play Skate. Master the tricks, or to know what direction it is? Is it possible to bail on a trick? As in almost make it, but then you slam cause you didn't "flick it" enough? Or do you always make your tricks if you first flick them right? Quote
Mazy Posted August 22, 2007 Report Posted August 22, 2007 Its pretty cool. Not quite sure if I'll get the full thing, but the controls does feel like they're pretty intuitive. Definitely not an easy thing to rack up combos in this one, at least not compared to THPS (Which as said; most milked dry franchise in the business). Really interesting how they're focusing on the board here, rather than the person, makes it kinda hard to see whats over bumps and stuff tho. Quote
ReNo Posted August 23, 2007 Report Posted August 23, 2007 I watched my mates play it a fair bit this evening (barely got a shot myself) and it came across as being pretty damned awesome. Looks like a definate buy to me, but I'll give the demo another shot tomorrow to see if I still feel the same. Quote
MrH2o Posted August 23, 2007 Report Posted August 23, 2007 Mazy, The Sims is the most milked franchise and don't you forget it! The demo is really cool, alittle hard to remember the controls, but I had the same problem in THPS so I guess I'm not a skate person. I really dig the videoeditor altho I would like Max Payne slowness and not just 25%, I would also like to see the videoupload function acctually works. Quote
FrieChamp Posted August 23, 2007 Report Posted August 23, 2007 AAAAH SO MANY DEMOS!! CANT KEEP UP!!!! But yea, I need to play this too How's the music? Quote
Mojo Posted August 23, 2007 Report Posted August 23, 2007 I keep forgetting to snag this one, I really want to see how it handles. Quote
st0lve Posted August 23, 2007 Report Posted August 23, 2007 Again, now that people might have tried it a bit more; Is it possible to bail on a trick? As in if you flick it a bit wrong and then the board spins wrong and you slam? Or is it like if you have enough air to complete the trick, it's instant landing? Quote
Scinbed Posted August 23, 2007 Report Posted August 23, 2007 You're pretty much guaranteed to bail if you get your timing, landing angle, speed, etc wrong. Whether (or how well) you pull something off depends on a lot more than just landing straight like in THPS. Quote
