This game looks utterly awesome. I've always wanted a realistic/semi realistic skateboarding game, unlike Tony Hawks where you can do 1080 triple kickflip cctwist backflip manual nosegrind 360 flip bluntslide nose manual...etc with relative ease.

Apparently the demo is coming to live on the 15th, I can't wait! The control system looks awesome too, and it is such that it will be difficult to pull off difficult tricks and combos, again unlike Tony Hawks.

And the bails/falls look incredibly realistic too!

Gief gief gief!

Well I used to skateboard myself back in my teenage years, so that's part of why I am so attracted to this game.

I skated every day for about 5 years, I got pretty good. Watching the videos for this game made me want to go out and start skating again.

Im really looking forward to it. From what ive say on videos its looking really good, and like the original poster said it seems a lot more realistic that the Tony Hawks games, which I still enjoy but usually leave my stats very low so I land tricks more realistically.

Heh, that's what I used to do :D

Must get and download this. Always enjoy the TH games but they do go overboard by the time you get to the end which is a shame :(

I fondly remember playing Thrasher: Skate & Destroy however - if this plays anything like that (in terms of trick execution) I'll be happy :)

Yeah that was a great game, I loved it.
 
Played the demo a while now. Conclusion: This game is 10 times better than Tony Hawks. It's pure awesomeness. I can't wait to get the game and try out huge stair sets and drops...etc

now this is just for the skaters on here but.....has anyone else noticed that the skaters push mongo style?

Depends which button you press to push, and what stance you are in. X and A both push, one pushes regular and one pushes mongo.
 
Heh, we used to quietly laugh to ourselves whenever we saw someone pushing mongo :D

Anyways I just love this game, I can't stop playing the demo! I would have to say based on the demo alone this is my favourite Xbox 360 game so far.

Shame I can't upload any of the tricks/bails I've done yet though.
 
Best trick I ever did on the demo was a backflip whilst in the street luge position (Coffin). Insane :D

Shame I couldn't upload the replay.
 
Probably gonna get this tomorrow.

I'm at Uni atm and I can't get onto Xbox Live from here, so I won't be able to upload footage, which sucks.

Does anyone know if you can save footage to the HD and upload it at a later date?

I would have thought so, otherwise players without Xbox Live won't get any use from the replay editor.

Ah nvm, just found out today because I'm on a Computer Games Dev course (Basically Software Engineering with dash of games + design and modelling...) I get special rights when it comes to accessing games on the Uni network, so I can get Xbox Live unrestricted soon :D
