EA Skate Demo

[guy le douche]

can't they just create a tight new city and add impossibles and no comply's or something like that

[EricLogan]

At one point, this spot was nothing but back yards. I'm pretty positive

I like you man, but I know 100% positively that this is not true.  I'm a pretty big videogame nerd.

i have to agree with jesus on this one, makes no sense that EA would do random updates of hidden backyard spots, maybe you just never noticed them before

SKATE 2 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Recently, EA announced it was working on Skate 2 for PS3 and Xbox 360. And that's about all EA was willing to say about the sequel. However, the official Skate website has several teaser videos. None show gameplay, but two of the videos provide hints on the setup for Skate 2.

According to the videos, five years have passed and San Vanelona is very different place. Shortly after you won Skater of the Year, your character disappeared. No one knows what happened to him, but the skaters of San Vanelona hope he'll come back. And they need you. In the past five years, the cops have cracked down on skaters. Caps were put on rails to make it almost impossible to grind and "No Skating" signs are everywhere.

San Vanelona was once a paradise for skaters. Now it's their worst nightmare.

There's 2 more videos on the playlist to the right once you click the 1st link.  It's pro's explaining the "story" of Skate 2 basically.



I cannot wait for this game.

A friend of mine works at the EA main office in Burnaby BC, last year he tested NHL 08 all summer and knew the new jerseys before they got released, he also got to play skate during his lunchbreak before it was released, hes going back this summer and will most likely get a good look at SKATE 2, so i'll relay any info i get to you guys


and yea, the premise sucks

God that premise sounds horrible. Its on some Tony Hawk level shit. I hope its not just the same city with more security and all you have to do is find a way to unskatestop it. That would be horrible.

[Universal Remonster]

they're not that stupid

[cat]

whats a premise

[Tuna]

dumb story aside it will still be a fun game.

[Peter]

honestly, you dont play this game for the career mode anyway.

new spots, new skaters, some new product and a better online server is all they really need.

Well, that's the only spot I vividly remember being nothing but backyards surrounded by tall, impenitrable shrubbery. It's just that I had the game for a looong time before getting xbox live, and I tried to make it a point to skate every back alley to boredom before getting it. But yeah, I'm not going to say I'm right, I can't find anything on the internet regarding new spots, even people rumoring on paralell messageboards.

But either way, whether there's new spots, or I'm just discovering shit 9 months into heavy gameplay, it's fucking rad.

I wouldn't be too bummed if someone without xbox live searched out that spot and the nearby big O replica (in huge halfpipish drainage ditch next to the p-rod bleachered tennis court, similar to the one in the people's center or whatever) disproved me. Do you not have xbox live, Jesus?


And yeah, as for skate2, skate1 had the least cheasy gameplay of any skateboarding game ever, and I still fucking hated it. But untill the gameplay for the Skate games starts to include assholes in crushed velvet jackets, gator boots and sunglasses approaching you to do a "run up the wall back-flip to 10 second long natas spin on 3 poles without hitting the ground", ea Skate gameplay will be nowhere near as gay as the THPS franchise.

But seriously, if anyone with sway reads this, please just put out an "unlock fucking everything" cheat for us non-gamers, the only thing thps did right a few times.

[bothersome]

I found both spots eric,no x box live yet....

that's me at :11 right now



sorry, guyz 

[bothersome]

Your excitement about possible new spots got me all riled up to skate something new.
I searched all over.

same here

[jesus0nvi4gra]

Hopefully they implement Burnout Paradise's online system.  Anybody that's played it well know its fucking amazing.  To clicks over on the d-pad and  your're instantly online.  I think it would work perfectly with SKATE, and the open world it has.  They're both EA games so they can share the online code.

[Universal Remonster]

i'm hoping they add downloadable content like i hear they're doing for the new gta, even if its costs some money, 10 bucks and download a new city or even some skateparks would be fucking rad

The developers already said they aren't doing any DLC, they're just focusing on SKATE 2.

[BriDen]

I didn't realize how insanely hardcore the advertising was until Pierce mentioned it. I was freeskating on Live last night and 90 fucking percent of the adverts were the one in the middle.



And I guess Subway is going after the gay skater demographic. The quality isnt as good on here but in the game you can read the fine print.



Also, when you're skating downtown, there's building where the streets around it are in sort of a HUB style, and the middle one has a NYSE type scrolling text, and one of the things was for Tommy Guerrero tickets. I thought that was cool.

Ya i was referring to skate 2, would make much sense to add it to the first one now

[heckler]

That storyline sounds bad. Like Bill said, it would suck if they just changed some shit around in the SV from skate 1. I want a whole new city.

that and make the city some sort of japan/australia/paris super city and add distinction between backside and frontside flips so games of skate make more sense. i fucking hate doing a bigspin flip and having the other dude just flail frontside and it still counts. and add in an option to walk so i dont have to spend 15 minutes finding a way up the stairs when all i really want to do is catch a phat air frontflip into a hella coffin.

[Mooley]

The whole San Vanelona getting capped thing is probably just their way of closing down the first game before they introduce us to the new city for the second game. They wouldn't be stupid enough to make the entire game revolve around un-capping the same shit.

[frisco]

it would be so unstoking if they didnt have new spots, i dont mean some new spots but alot of new spots. they should just create a whole new city

either way they hopefully will adapt a better "spot save" application

better online server

adjustable camera angles

[ice nine]

well the citys called Žnew san vanelonaŽ, judging from skate 1`s ultra lame methods its going to be somewhat new york inspired, which sounds good. but yes hopefully its all new, any re used city would be terrible. and jon west better be in on the promo videos and shit

The game needs what those Driver games used to have, movable tripod cameras and shit.

i mentioned this way earlier in this thread, but it would be great if the sun actually moved, maybe quicker than realtime, similiar to GTA, so that spots that are currently always in shadow are sometimes in the sun, and vice versa.  this should be an option you can turn on and off. 

in freeskate, you should be able to TURN OFF the other pro skaters, like security.  i'm so sick of dill right in front of the spot.

also, the replay/media browser was really disappointing to me, you can only save 8 clips per profile, and actually viewing them is such a pain in the ass.  i don't understand why i'm limited to 8 10 meg clips when i have an 80 gig hard drive.

this is a great idea.  One of my favorite spots to skate always has 3 pro's there constantly.  It's annoying to have to time everything out so you don't hit them head on.

skate it is for thw ii is gonna be fucking sick! i hear they're gonna have an option where you can play with the wii balance board. that would beinteresting. the DS version is probably just gonna use the touch screen as the flick-it. i wanna check this game out
