Just learned some tranny last night and it felt so good to be able to do just a normal 5050 grind on tranny in a video game and have it feel right. Still can't go frontside or do any lip tricks but the little I messed with it was really fun.
from the looks of the videos, gameplay looks all robotic or something. is it better in person or what?
it doesn't feel as robotic as it looks in some of the videos and if you get a good line or trick you can replay the clip of it from different camera angles. I've noticed that for each trick there are usually good angles were the trick look good and bad angles where it will look not so good.
But overall I think it looks and feels great when you play. I think a lot of it may have to do with how you control the skater. For example, the frontside filps I've seen in the promo videos looked really robotic with a perfect turn. But I did one yesterday over some mail boxes off this bump and did it so that it was a 90 degree kickflip, then caught, then final rotation which to me is less robotic looking and more realistic.
Also with the over pop on grind\slide tricks, it seems like you could control that by poping less but I haven't actually tried that. I'm still struggling to just hit the ledge\rail with the right trick.
