Skate 3

[Firebert]

did they fix the magnetic repulsion in hc mode?

[Fongstarr.]

I am down to get the game but it really does look like the same shit. I think it would have been better just to have it where they had downloadable content instead of buying a new game.

[ccc333]

and do blunt slides still look like shit?

[ice nine]

whens canadian release date? went to zellermarts and didnt have it

[cat litter]

Besides new areas, the only thing I want from these games is a faster push, and changing the lip tricks. Like make it so you dont have to fly 10 feet in the air just to do a blunt fakie

[sectachrome]

did they fix the magnetic repulsion in hc mode?

Doesnt feel any different then the demo to me.  Hardcore mode is cool but pisses me off at the same time.  Its too annoying to get into grinds.

Blunt slides still look suspect.  The lip tricks still suck ass.

[tysj!]

- still feel like god is trying to push me away from trying to do grinds and shit
- no black pants. minor detail but wtf
- looks and runs pretty damn good on the ps3 for once
- other than to unlock shit, i really have no desire to play the career for once
- i didn't want to read what it said in the DLC list, but $9.99 for another filmer pack? aklsfhaslkjsatasf
- bluntslides are still regular
- create a skater is still limited as fuck. no plain white tees this time wtfx23104. still don't get why custom shirts don't have sizes.
- districts are pretty sick. haven't gotten a chance to explore much but it sure is gonna take a while to see anything
- i feel like i wasted hours playing career to unlock shit

[steve_lurkle]

I'm already bored of this one.

[thugnificent]

whens canadian release date? went to zellermarts and didnt have it

same as america, i live in ontario and got it today. the spots are 1000 times better in this compared to skate 1 and 2, this game is a huge improvement. also you can have plain white tee's

[TheHyphyVelociraptor]

I'm really late on this but I'll definitely get it when the price reduces...Cardiel and Drehobl...

[DevilOnEnzyte]

Overall, I'm impressed with it.
The graphics are a little smoother.
The Filmer Pack came free this time (look in the box, Skate.Share is the filmer pack).
Black Box skatepark dlc is sick.
The little bugs of hardcore mode got fixed.
The new spots are sick.
More decks, clothing, shoes, ability to creat custom decks is good.
Can take your friends created skaters and use them on your team.

The only downsides to me are that coming out of blunts is shitty looking, the lack of lip trips, and Reda's voice.

Overall, it's an improvement over Skate 2... but still not perfect.
The whole "board sales" thing is pretty fucking weak.

[guy le douche]

Hyped for new map and cougar mountain.

[Carrolls Chesthairs]

spots are really dope.
the challenges are pretty wack. However, the photo missions can be cool if you find something nice to shoot.
so far i really like the game and feel as if there is a lot of ground and spots to cover.
Apparently the "filmer pack" for skate 3 will make the videos come out in HD. Sounds pretty pointless to me but will look good in videos and what not.

Here is a little clip just to test how the uploaded clips turn out.

Oh, and if you did not pre order the game but want the blackbox TF, call your local game place and tell them that
-you pre ordered it
-the code given to you on your receipt did not work
they should hook you up with no problem

[Livin The Psychedelic Lif]

anyone notice the other codes you can put in like the emerica shoes code, and adio(i think)?

I cant believe they included the maloof money cup here for free- FFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUU

[thugnificent]

the Brooklyn banks and 3rd and army replicas are amazing. also they have this spot in here too

starting at 2:42

any other famous spots?

[codithou]

as long as this guy is in charge, i dont think we will ever have a legit skating game.

[Bubblegum Tate]

Just sold 15,000 boards got my Janoski's 

[EricLogan]

I just hooked up random clothes and freeskated for hours, my mind hurts from how good some of the areas are. I couldn't help but give that rock quarry spot a huge stink-eye from a distance, though. what the f.

[Albatross]

online and park editor are sick


for people who used to spot battle with friends like me, there is a new thing called session battle or something. basically you can setup at 3rd and army with friends and take turns doing like 50 second lines, if you arent the person doing the run it gives you a sick camera angle too.

really happy with this game, nice colors all the time is a plus too! made getting really sick today not so bad

That sounds really sick. I always wanted something like that. Though the games not out here till the 14th 

[Gorilla Flip]

WHERE THE FUCK IS PARTY MODE?!

[The Bullet]

wrong.  He's the reason this isn't another tony hawk.



I've only had 45 minutes to play.  but he's what I think so far:

-10 dollars for a filmer pack is worth it, because hq server space has to cost a lot of money.  I like to make videos, so its a no brainer to get this.  But apparently as I write this it's only out on PS3, not xbox.
-Hardcore grinding does feel better then the demo, but it's annoying how it always tries to make you wallride handrails.
-coming out of blunts still looks kinda wacked.
-city is amazing, i even think that quarry spot has potential
-EA Nation still is unreliable, i wasn't able to sign in.
-Filming without ghosting is a dream come true.
-Apparently there is a "time is money" dlc again where you can unlock everything.  It's something like  7 dollars, but I might get it.
-Haven't messed with create-a-park, probably won't until i'm sick of the city, but it looks like it'll be awesome.
-Object dropper is such a good idea.  Wish you could move the camera around and zoom in when in it, but it's not the end of the world.

Overall, I'm giving this a 9.5 out of 10.  Because none of the problems in the game bug me to much.  And aside from coming out of bluntslides, everything else has been improved. The game looks and feels amazing.

THANKS CUZ

[Guile]

games dope,way better than jerking off for the 15th time today

[boyan]

2 more days

[thugnificent]

why would anyone pay for the time is money dlc? are you seriously that lazy to not beat career? the challenges are usually fun and if you're already paying 60$ for the game, you might as well actually play the entire game

[sectachrome]

I really like the career challenges where it just gives you a list of stuff to do, like lines and shit.

[tysj!]

i hated them. probably because there was no real reason to do them story-wise. of course i ended up selling my 1 million boards. jsflkajdlkasdjlakfjalksj ldkdasdjal ;kfja sdj aadalksjdastkjfaskf

now i can play free skate with a clear conscience

I bought the time is money pack last time and was bummed to find out it only applied towards characters and product, when all I wanted it for was to unlock all map areas/spawn points, etc.

-Filming without ghosting is a dream come true.

THANKS CUZ

FUCK YES! I noticed that! So hyped.

Also, if you pre-ordered it online, do you get the black box skatepark, or just at gamestop? I ordered it through ea for that discount, and don't remember ever being given a code.

[Gorilla Flip]

Wow they managed to make these missions even shittier and more cheap than the last two games.

-Where the fuck is Party Play?
-Where the fuck is Party Play???
-What's up with Andrew Reynold's voice?
-Recycling old models for PJ Ladd and Jerry Hsu? Didn't feel like making new ones? Recycled alot of the animations for the cinematics too
-Fucked up single player missions. How am I supposed to win the race if my NPC friend can't even finish the race or score more than 120 points on the competition? Why the fuck would you do this? Why can't I play these challenges alone instead of having a NPC dragging me down. Am I supposed to make a Best Trick rail of 5000 points?? Playing with a friend, the challenges are equally impossible. In the time that my team has 2000 the NPC's have 5000. I guess I should be better at the game or play on easy mode.
-HC mode isn't more realistic, it's just more cheap. The skater moves away from the rails like the same ends of a magnet. You can do a line 5 times exactly the same way and 2 times it will just jump under or over the rail, one time it will hit the rail and mysteriously bail and two times it will try a wallride into the rail. It's impossible to do missions where you have to jump to a rail ontop of a really steep bank. You just don't have enough speed ever.
-No reason at all for own the spot missions or Pro Challenges, I ain't gonna do shit with spots or Pros since they decided to remove Party Play. You can pick any spot you want in online multiplayer even if you haven't "unlocked" them.
-Your own created custom park lags, even when there's nothing in it.
-Seriously why did they remove playing locally on the same console?
-What's the point of "High camera" if the camera goes right to the groundline after one trick. I have to bail to make the camera not bug.

I feel like I paid 60€ for a new map for Free Mode. The missions are bullshit so no-one wants to play them online. Other gamemodes like classic spot battle, SKATE and new 1up are fun.

PS Fuck this game I'm changing to Classic mode to complete the game
