You have to glitch out I found it difficult to do at first but is easier once you have done it a few times

Tried it a few times but no success

Gonna try again later

It was made free for silver's on XBL this morning, also.

This does feel a lot better with the PS3 pad imo, Im kinda liking it more now. Shame about the frame rate issues on the PS3 version though.

Psymonkee · 15 Jan 2009 at 23:59

framerate again?

They had probs with the first one too iirc

Nanoman · 16 Jan 2009 at 00:09

Yea its pretty bad again tbh. Juttering and slow-down. I cant tell if it looks better or not either. Its got that blur thing going on and it seems a bit more vibrant but I think slightly lower res. Im so stuck between which version to get now as I preference the PS3 pad a lot more with this game but the 360 version runs better.

Spunj99 · 16 Jan 2009 at 10:23

Can't believe there is frame rate issues on the PS version again! I thought that was just due to a lazy port to PS3 on the original?

Bit lame..

Meloco · 16 Jan 2009 at 10:56

Played a bit of this last night, and this morning. I'm thinking that this is a step down from the previous version :confused:

. Graphics are good, but the world seems a bit to "clunky" not as free flowing as the first skate. Also seems like it's moving in to the realms of the old tony hawk style of play (minus the flickit 2.0). Really dissapointed as I was definitely going to pre-order had the demo been good.

What does everyone else think??

thecremeegg · 16 Jan 2009 at 13:21

Just played this - defo wont be buying it! The controls are so clunky, as is the player movement, just not fun to play at all

TurnipHead · 16 Jan 2009 at 16:43

Had a really quick go on this last night, really quick.

I was playing Skate the other day just do get prepared for this, and the frame rate problems are no where near as bad as the original. Graphics seem better aswell. He seems to turn a bit slower but I can just adjust my board. Controls are just as good as the original although he still does tricks you don't want to do. Very very fun to play. Just gonna jump on it now.

100% buy for me.

Yeah it's very good, i just think theres too much stuff on it (if you get what i mean) Skate.1 was very good because it was simplistic

nikebee · 17 Jan 2009 at 15:42

Aboslutely love the original.

Can't believe I didn't realise the release for the second was so close.

Youstolemyname · 17 Jan 2009 at 22:40

Well just spent a lil time playing the demo on PS3. Graphics seem better and less washed out than Skate 1. Will deffo be picking this up next Friday

Shamikebab · 17 Jan 2009 at 22:45

Yeah I went back to Skate 1 last night and the change in graphics is significant. Also Id forgotten how damn annoying the camera could be at times, seems in a much better place in Skate 2.

TerryWogan · 17 Jan 2009 at 23:45

I'm trying to 1000 Skate before Friday... I neglected it until a couple of weeks ago. Almost completely done the single player now, how feasible is getting the online achievements done by Thursday night?

Shamikebab · 18 Jan 2009 at 00:06

I have never ever played Skate online, I intend to remedy this oversight with Skate 2. Everyone up for some multiplayer?
