Post by: Third on September 15, 2009, 04:35:02 PM: I still haven't played the first Skate. EA needs to make less Skate games.

Post by: Bebpo on September 15, 2009, 04:36:51 PM: Man, it feels like Skate 2 just came out. Guess they're trying to get on the yearly Tony Hawk bandwagon.

Title: Re: SKATE 3!!!!!!!
Post by: Smooth Groove on September 15, 2009, 04:48:00 PM: Will it have a decent tutorial mode?

The thing I hated about skating games was their assumption that the gamer was knowledgeble about skating.

Post by: Bildi on March 27, 2010, 11:26:13 PM: FFFFUUUU I haven't even opened Skate 2 yet. EA are going to run this franchise into the ground at this rate. :(
Title: Re: SKATE 3!!!!!!!
Post by: brob on March 28, 2010, 03:45:26 PM: I was very cynical when they announced it since it's been like 2 and a half year or something since the first broke out and EA has gutted Black Box, but Hardcore mode brought me back to the fold. :'(

Dora the Explorer level patronizing bullshit. FUCK NAW! YOU AIN'T ACHIEVE SHIT . I don't get it, EA makes a skateboard sim and the achievements are like first week shit. Not to mention that they have online achievements which are inherently horrible.
Title: Re: SKATE 3!!!!!!!
Post by: demi on April 01, 2010, 04:44:52 PM: Well, Skate 3 was meant to be a mostly online experience this time around. I agree that I hate online achievements, but me and my buds love this series, especially with the addition of challenges from Skate 2.
Title: Re: SKATE 3!!!!!!!
Post by: brob on April 01, 2010, 04:56:24 PM: I've never played multi-player online. And about 400~500 hours of local multi. And local multi sucks ass, like, rancid ass... If 3 had some sort of way to set up your own "own the spot" sessions and what-not so we didn't have to rely on the ghastly shit that blackbox puts in it'll be game of the forever.
Title: Re: SKATE 3!!!!!!!
Post by: The Sceneman on April 01, 2010, 07:02:16 PM: I typically loathe online cheevs too, but the freeskate activities in Skate 2 were so fucking fun, had a great time doing them all.

Still need online legend though, some goomba has my damn copy of Skate 2 atm

Post by: demi on April 15, 2010, 02:47:04 PM: This game is so sick. So slick and clean. GIT GIT GIT

Demo is out btw
Title: Re: SKATE 3!!!!!!!
Post by: Smooth Groove on April 15, 2010, 02:47:47 PM: Can I play it with a plastic skateboard?
Title: Re: SKATE 3!!!!!!!

Title: Re: SKATE 3!!!!!!!
Post by: The Sceneman on April 15, 2010, 05:57:10 PM: hoo baby, cant wait. Got my 1500/1500 in Skate 2 just in time! :rock
Title: Re: SKATE 3!!!!!!!
Post by: brob on April 15, 2010, 09:19:40 PM: I've only played the demo ten or so times but it seems pretty fucking sublime.

Some issues that makes my penis hard;
replay editor is still shitty,
animation is still shitty which makes certain lines look shitty because of the ass animation,
the darkslide is stiff as fuck

Other than that I haven't found much to bitch about. Hopefully the graphic creator tool is awesome so I can recreate my SC knock-off decks and hopefully the carriere isn't shit like 1 and 2 (probably shittier with the added focus on online). And the offline multi-player, which is where this game lives or dies for me as a game of the forever contender.

Post by: drew on April 17, 2010, 07:51:40 PM: yeah im not buying this
Title: Re: SKATE 3!!!!!!!
Post by: Bebpo on April 18, 2010, 04:56:37 AM: I tried playing this demo. Never touched Skate 2. Couldn't get into Skate.

Really liked that you could play with a normal camera view now.
60fps yay!

Game froze on me during a challenge :\ It kind of lowers my interest in a game when the demo that is trying to impress me crashes. It wasn't even a hard crash as I could still change the music tracks but it got stuck at the end of a bail and froze and I had to turn off the system :\

Also didn't like how I kept skating out of the demo area. I couldn't figure out where I was actually allowed to be skating so I could mess around and try tricks. Is there a skate park in the demo?
Title: Re: SKATE 3!!!!!!!
Post by: demi on April 18, 2010, 05:15:10 AM: No, but you can drop items anywhere you are and make your own in the demo. Kicker ramps, rails, QPs, etc.

Post by: demi on May 06, 2010, 02:36:52 PM: bump for Skate 3 - NEXT WEEK

Cant find any deals for it, aside from Amazon offering $10 credit
Title: Re: SKATE 3!!!!!!!
Post by: demi on May 10, 2010, 09:59:53 PM: bump for SKAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATE
Title: Re: SKATE 3!!!!!!!
Post by: The Sceneman on May 10, 2010, 10:15:23 PM: SKATE :rock

Gaming budget is very limited at the moment, so will not be getting this straight away. Skate 2 online had plenty of legs so I wont suffer too much if I hold off for a month or two.
Title: Re: SKATE 3!!!!!!!
Post by: demi on May 10, 2010, 10:16:12 PM: I'm gonna trim the fat and do some trade-ins I think.

Alright THAT looks awesome. Being able to beat up people :rock . Might have to pick this up when I grab 3D Dot Game Hero tomorrow.
Title: Re: SKATE 3!!!!!!!
Post by: demi on May 12, 2010, 05:06:50 AM: This game is so fun. Everything is online based, you can just chill with your CREW and do challenges, or face other teams. Sometimes you get lucky and face uneven teams.

The servers or something are garbage at the moment though. I'll post links to my skate team and shit when its all better.

Overall though this is skate through and through. Shame I cant transfer my graphics from Skate 2, have to remake it again.
Title: Re: SKATE 3!!!!!!!
Post by: brob on May 12, 2010, 12:39:02 PM: lol. played it today. no local multi-player. I guess us normal people who like to play games with friends aren't the target demo. ::)
Title: Re: SKATE 3!!!!!!!
Post by: FatalT on May 12, 2010, 01:38:25 PM: Meh, I might rent it and play it for an hour and then take it back.
Title: Re: SKATE 3!!!!!!!
Post by: demi on May 12, 2010, 01:41:13 PM: Online is still broken, I dont think I've connected to EA Nation at all the past day
Title: Re: SKATE 3!!!!!!!
Post by: Bebpo on May 12, 2010, 02:02:29 PM: so it's basically an online game and the online is broken?

how is the single player?
Title: Re: SKATE 3!!!!!!!
Post by: demi on May 12, 2010, 02:28:26 PM: You can play the entire game offline, but the online is just a way to play with your friends. You can do majority of the challenges with your friends and it will count towards your career score. Similar to Rock Band 2.
Title: Re: SKATE 3!!!!!!!
Post by: The Sceneman on May 12, 2010, 06:20:11 PM: hoo boy this sounds sooooo hot!

I might have to go the demi route and do some trade ins, also. I want more Skate baby
Title: Re: SKATE 3!!!!!!!
Post by: demi on May 12, 2010, 06:35:19 PM: The achievements arent really that hard either. There's one that requires you to play in a Freeskate with 6 people from your team, which is probably the gayest one.
Title: Re: SKATE 3!!!!!!!
Post by: The Sceneman on May 12, 2010, 06:39:10 PM: are there any BS grind-athons like Online Legend this time? Active Skater was the other big grind achievement in Skate 2 but that was AWESOME and satisfying to go for.
Title: Re: SKATE 3!!!!!!!
Post by: demi on May 12, 2010, 06:40:26 PM: Not really
