Its a teaser, teasers are meant to do just that, tease.

Shamikebab · 20 May 2008 at 20:57

well it teased me, it said "hold up, the sequel to the best sports game of last year is being made" and I responded with "holy ****, I better look out for that one" so job done really.

404 error for me

Works fine for me :confused:

Just go to ign and search for skate 2, or it should be on gametrailers.

Shamikebab · 2 Aug 2008 at 18:34

That is looking awesome :eek:

New features that I saw:

Inverts
Bonelesses
Getting off your board

Some of those environments looked great as well.

I loved project 8, but the last one was just dire. They have to reinvent the series completely.

Only thing that I saw that might be a bit of a downside was that it looked a little more "Skatable" (THPS like, random quarter pipes everywhere) which is something i don't want to happen.

I think they just concentrate on skate parks in that vid, there seem to be more of those. The shots of the streets still look pretty natural though with rails and banks scattered around.

This really does sound like it is going to be great. Over 200 moves in it now.

"You find your former home a much more oppressive place for skaters. Some grinds and half-pipes have skatestoppers on them - little aluminium plugs that will send you flying off your board if you don't spot them messing up a line. What's more, the Skate 2 staff say more of these will appear if you 'misbehave', but instantly clam up when we ask what exactly that means. "

They sound annoying

Rest of that article looks great though.

Id like the loading times for videos to be quicker, it was so long that I didn't bother really. More room for photos as well, and be able to scroll through them quicker.

I would give my left testicle to have this right now.

Id give your left testicle as well

Shamikebab · 5 Aug 2008 at 15:26

Yeah Im undecided on that one, the videos haven't looked that impressive so far.

Shamikebab · 12 Aug 2008 at 10:41

Just the three vids on gametrailers afaik. Theres a fairly good preview on IGN, I think its linked further up.

Shamikebab · 12 Aug 2008 at 12:15

Have they even announced a release date yet?

Shamikebab · 12 Aug 2008 at 13:12

same

Robert's Dead Space post has inspired me to update the original post, I will continue to update it when more information is available

Shamikebab · 13 Aug 2008 at 16:52

Thanks, I never really experienced any slow down with the original as far as I remember but improvements are always nice! Not being able to get off your board was an obvious thing that was missing, should be an excellent improvement.
