skate. 2




Posted by Sterling

Picked it up today, pretty decent so far. My main concern right now is the whole retry situation which can get really annoying, especially on the harder challenges. Everything else is fine so far, and I'm loving the graphics.

Discuss.

In before the x.

and what's wrong with how you retry? Don't you just set a marker and then press up on the d-pad to go back? seems simple as ****

Yeah, session markers make retrying anything you want to do pretty easy. Bailing is a whole bunch of fun in this game anyway.

I have maybe 4 or 5 challenges left to do in the Career tier, then I'm going to start entering contests and doing Hall of Meat. The game really ****ing kicks ***, but the challenges are kinda easy after playing Skate OG. The hardest one so far is 'Can you spell GIRL?'.

I had no idea you could upload videos straight to the site. That is... ****ing awesome.

Also, lol'd how your guy looks mighty similar to your avatar dude

Posted by Vampiro V. Empire

I vaguely remember something like that. Either way, I'm impressed.




Posted by BLUNTMASTER X

It's like a much more detailed version of the Halo 3 replay editor. You can choose your camera angle (including setting up a tripod camera somewhere on the map) and set markers where the footage changes angle or speed. It owns hella hardcore.




Posted by Vampiro V. Empire

Yeah, was pretty impressed with your video. Except how it suddenly ended. Guessing that's due to time restraint though.




Posted by BLUNTMASTER X

Yeah. You have 90 seconds of video space on the Skate Reel site, and I'd used mine. They let you save your video files once they've been uploaded though, so you can just save them to your HDD and re-upload them if you want to.




Posted by Vampiro V. Empire

They should just use Youtube servers or something. Probably less restrictions and hassle.

I mean on the film challenges and various others.

CHALLENGE FAILED WOULD YOU LIKE TO RETRY? *pushes stick down to yes*
3...2...1... GO!

It seems kinda small, but I don't really think it necessary to prevent you from a quick button mash.

Posted by Vampiro V. Empire

Gametrailer's guy pretty much said it was a rent, so looks like it's out of the question now.

Huh, I always meant to try out the first skate. Maybe I'll get this one. Is it multiplayer?




Posted by Vampiro V. Empire

Yeah. Has numerous modes and a dick-around with friends mode.




Posted by Vampnagel P. Wingpire
