Skate!

I've been trying to nails down a tricks list for grabs, heres what i have so far:

Grabs (assuming goofy stance)


RT +:

Left = Crossbone
Right = method
Up = Melon
Down = BS Tweak

LT +:

Left = Stiffy
Right = Tuck knee
Up = Nosebone
Down = Tailbone

RT + LT = Double Grab
RT + LT + B = Coffin
RT + B = Christ Air
LT + B = No Foot Air


Surprisingly there doesn't seem to be any grabs for the diagonals :confused: im hoping theres more grabs in the full game because theres quite a few missing, inclusing my fave airwalk :(maybe they'll be assignable like THPS?)


Might try and work on a tutorial to each grind, but that sounds a little harder.
 
Downloaded this demo last night, and I'm really impressed by it.

It feels so much more realistic compared to THPS (obviously).

It seems to be lacking a few tricks, but okay this only a demo... and of course it may just be a case of me not pulling them off properly.

Very, very impressed with Skate so far.

I love the fact that this really seems like a game where your in a city and you have to pull off the ticks on real objects rather than skating down a road and suddenly a quater pipe appears ala THPS.


Anyone managed to land a backflip/front flip yet?

I've done one or two :)

You get a real sense of accomplishment when you've been there for a while trying to nail that one big trick, or that big sequence you've been working on...

If theres a couple more tricks/grabs in there in the full game, then I feel EA may just have nailed it.


Preordering now :D
 
The EA website network is a joke. I log in. Go to find video, it then asks me to login again even though I am logged in on the top right of the screen. Everytime I log in again it takes me back to the log in page. EA are ******* useless.
 
Tell me about it...

I've uploaded a picture, which looked pretty cool on the 360... looks utter rubbish on their website though :-/

The video I uploaded... well I can't even find that.

I've searched for my username, searched the recently added videos :confused:

T'was a video of me landing my first 720 :)

I actually found my video by searching my username but when I tried to watch it I had to login, when I try to log in it just takes me back to the login page. I hate EA games SO MUCH, unfortunately they are a big client of ours at work so I have to deal with them a lot :(

edit: just tried searching my vid again and it isn't there anymore.
 
This is the game I bought my 360 for and the demo has fully confirmed I made the right choice. Loving how you can play this game at a realistic level. Just doing 5.0's on rails keeps me entertained for hours. Getting 360 flips dialed now and it feels like a proper achievement everytime.

I do have some gripes though. I think the skater turns to fast in the air. I am finding it hard to do nice 180's but I guess that will come with practice. Also I am a bit gutted they still have a Tony Hawks style challenge system where you have to do certain things to pass. However when I think about it I can't think of what else they could have done. I am hating some of the videos people have posted online people seem to still want to do as much as they can with the board and skater in the air :(. Still everyone plays games differently.

Overall very pleased with the demo and can't wait to buy the full game and make some ace looking videos.
 
I wish the AI skater in the bowl would sod off. I get a good pumping session going with some good air and he comes along and smashes into me. Really beginning to annoy me now.

Challenges? By that do you mean the whole - do a grind, a kickflip and then another grind thing?

I think its okay, the tutorials for moves are pretty cool... How to ollie, kickflip, grind, manual etc...
They make it a bit more realistic than THPS.

As far as the videos go, I seem to play the game as if its a real skater out there (for whatever reason). I don't try and bust out 720's and christ air's or backflips at every opportunity. I like to build up a good fluid line of decent tricks and then break out something big at the end.

edit:
Even then it's still pretty hard to get a good line going constantly...

end edit:

It's much harder to nail big moves continuously though, and its very rewarding when you hit that move you've been working on for a while :)

HAHA yeah, same with me earlier.

I had a decent session going on in there as you get some really decent air after a few times in there... then WHACK! straight into him, or hit him in the air.... land on him...

I can see EA want to go for the realism part where okay you'd have guys skating in and out of places that you need to watch out for... but if I saw some guy tearing up a bowl looking like he's just about to bust out some wicked move... I'd think twice about skating through the flipping middle of it!

Hold LB and then press down on the d pad. When you want to go back to that point just hold LB and then press up on the d pad. You can't be too far away though, but it is a pretty generous distance.

oooh... cheers for the tip!


I did notice that the D-Pad does taunts and the like... line markers sounds like a pretty nice idea. Would have saved me some time earlier when I was working on some jumps over concrete blocks :o

Miss time jump into block... get up, skate back.... miss timed my jump... get up, skate back.... jumped it, forgot to pull off a tick... skate back up the ramps, get a runup again... jump and held a grab too long and bailed...


:o

Got there in the end though

360 kickflip-to-melon grab



Yeah, you know I'm good :cool:
 
just something that i uploaded really quickly the other day just as it was a nice little line

360 flip to FS Feeble on the bigger rail near the bowl

I like how the more complicated trick you do Tre Flips, Laser flips get less pop than simpler tricks kickflips or shuv its obviously adds to the realism, you cant just pop a 360 flip onto a 10ft high ledge!

Loving the demo playing it everyday really cant wait to get the full game and hit the city skating realistic lines and just generally cruising for spots.

Have any of you guys been in the sewers part on the demo yet? It is a bit difficult to get to (requires glitching the game) and is interesting for about 5 minutes after which it is extremely difficult to get out!
 
Yep im still playing this daily, so much variation in this small section i dread to think how much time i'll spend once we get the whole city!

I've read about the sewer section but haven't done the glitch yet.

My favorite area at the moment is grinding a ledge behind one of the bill boards in between two sets of stairs up from the manny pads.
 
Still plating loving this despite rarely being able to pull off anything more complicated than a kickflip :p

Managed a hardflip last night much to my suprise as well as a nice little run that ended in a laserflip :>

Mostly I just like doing manuals that last forever \0/
 
Even every time i play the demo i find a new line or gap or something that I want to nail and being a skater when i find a line I like i try out loads of different sequences so i cant begin to image the amount of lines and spots that having access to the city is going to open up!
 
i know what you mean, last night i decided to follow one of the a.i. skaters around and found a new line! just behind where you start the grind tutorial you can jump up from the slight rise to the left and grind the wall, i hadn't noticed that before. I honestly think this could be my game of the year, the level of innovation is intense, replay value is extremely high and its just so damn polished.
 
How do you glitch into the sewer area?

I was just looking at the SKate website and did a tour of the city and it looks awesome. As others have said, the small area in the demo is awesome as it is, I dread to think how much time I will spend exploring.
 
here is a you tube tutorial on how to do it.


Only thing to note he says do a fast flick it ollie. Took me ages to figure out he means do a BIG ollie towards the post and not a fast one that only does a small ollie.

Not the easiest of things to do so dont go getting frustrated! one of the hardest parts is getting onto the ledge to do it in the first place and setting your session marker because you cant set it too close to the fence.
