Skate demo horrible!!!

I downloaded the Skate demo last night. EA has lost their mind. The controls are horrible. The charm with Tony Hawk is easy controls for simple tricks and you have to work for the harder ones, and really hard to chain stuff together. Skate has some stupid right thumbstick control that you pull down and flick up to jump, even on a ramp. It makes it way to diffucult to pull off tricks. EA tried to make a Total Skate Control like Fight Night and failed miserably.Has anyone played this demo and felt the same way?skelly7483

its too damn slow and boring and the camera i think this game will get a 8.0comelstr

Are you a catholic or something?

haha skate is the shieet. u trippn man

I have to agree. Skate is pretty horrible. Its more realistic than THPG, so what? Tony Hawks is hell of a lot more fun.

I thought it was good. My hands just really hurt, because i had to keep tapping for speed, but it was cool. I will be getting proving ground though. I think that it is just a little to hard, but with more practice it will be a fun game.BrianLittrell

Just hold it, you don't have to keep tapping. At first I didn't like the cam cause it was hard to grind. Now I'm a grinding master. Its easy to line myself up.

[QUOTE="paranoiasurviva"]lol, look at the screen shots I took of a couple flaws I found. lol, flat tree branches lol, my front wheels vanished. Overall though, I'm impressed with the graphics. The audio is great too. The ambiance of the board rolling, sliding, and thumping against the pavement is great.Large_Soda

Not to be nitpicky......well actually....to be nitpicky those aren't branches you're showing those are leaves. And leaves are flat.

I'm talking about the magnified images, those are leaves. I also don't see a huge branch to be honest, I see a railing that can be used to grind, but no branch.

My god what has happended to the video game world?I'm going to tell you the truth about skate.Skate is too tony hawk what all pro football was to Madden.....A giant turd and a waste of time for anybody that was stupid enough to fall for it's claims of "Realism".Guess what?The controls suck.Sure tony hawk is "Impossible".But let's just think for a good moment here right.Tony hawk Pulled of a 900 Real IN REAL LIFE ON A REAL SKATEBOARD IN A REAL HALF PIPE.Now do you acctually think you can do a 900 in this game?NO.Because it's too real.It's so real it limits what people do in the real world.Skateboarding is about defying the lawys of pyshics not placing them on yourself.I mean A backflip is impossible On a skate board in real life right?Oh wait.....Look at danny way he just totally did one.Now has anyone in this game Probally playing as danny way Done a backflip?Heh...I'm going to check in on this tomrow and if anyone has.I will buy a 100 copes if this game and eat 78 of them.

with any game you gotta play it alot of time into it to become really good. but i just think with this one the basics are just too difficult for all the average players out there to expect to be able to pull off really complicated stuff. personally i longboard, surf and skimboard, im into all the boardsports and i find this way too much for a game. im thinking you gotta be some person really into skateboarding and realism to love this game. O and im not comparing games here im giving this one a raw review

like others said man get off the crack pipe, this game rocked, just like real life.

i wasn't interested in this game until i played the demo. Looks likke it'll be way better than tony hawk.

[QUOTE="Seemore10"]This game and Call of Duty 4 are my 2 for sure purchases of 2007. Halo what?skelly7483

OK. I get everyone but me likes Skate, which is fine, maybe i'm just odd or its not my type of game, but PLEASE do not compare this game to HALO 3. This game isn't even in the league.

oh it's definitely in "the league" bro. i don't get impressed by a flamethrower and online co-op. skate kicks everything's ass. /thread

Its not that the Skate Demo is terrible although I personally found the camera quite awkward and didn't like the control setup. But the fact is its a skateboard game that is not made by THQ and its not Tony Hawk. People just want something different in games now and this is definitely different.B_Scared

THQ doesn't make Tony Hawk. Activision does

WOW!! The controls are too complicated for you?!?! HAHAHA! Then you are the epitome of "casual gamer", "Ooh it takes too much skill, I need to have one button do everything for me!". Go play American Wasteland then or the totally craptastic Project 8, then.

This is probably the only game that EA has gotten right in a long time. I love the way Skate controls. It's about time that we got a good skate game, where you don't grind power lines and ride on roof tops. I for one welcome the realism.

I think it's very realistic feeling in the way you grind, ollie, kickflip, etc. It all seems natural to me. Not like the crapfest that the Tony Hawk series has become. I applaud EA for actual doing the unthinkable: Making a game I can enjoy. I will definitely pick this game up when it's released.

I played the demo last night. It is not horrible. It is fun! I look forward to this game way more than Tony Hawks tired formula.
