Filmer and Photo Goals On the way to #1 pro-skater status, players must trick through photo shoot locations, or follow a filmer with a video camera and complete his instructions while keeping up with him.
"Picture-in-a-Picture" Player can watch gameplay unfold on the main screen while observing the action on film in a superimposed video box.
"Movable Ramps and Rails throughout the city" Place ramps and rails to set up amazing lines and/or gain access to secret spots.
Enhanced Physics and Responsive Controls: The new physics system introduces advanced grinds and bails that allow players to control falls and minimize or maximize damage for fun with the innovative new ragdoll bail mode. A greater sense of momentum and gravity is impossible to miss, and provides the most realistic virtual skate experience ever.
ahh.. key phrase.. "trick through"..
probably pretty much means thats its gonna be like..
filmer: "ok kid. i want you to three sixty flip over this hydrant. then proceed along the sidewalk with 'style'. then i want a switch bennihana to backside tailslide on the bench kickflip out to switch backlip on the fence. that should give you the real pro-status edge!"
kid: "man, i dunno.. i want to have the best line of the year. then i'll be able to enter the Vancouver Slam City Jam! Maybe instead of the tre over the hydrant, i'll place a rail to the side of it and then do a natas spin to darkslide on the rail! that should really get me noticed!!"
filmer: "alright kid, i know you can do it!"
...yea pretty much same 'ol tony hawk shit.
everyear the game is hyped up to be more friendly to the core crowd. but we end up dissapointed.
