Skate demo horrible!!!

I wasn't too crazy about it myself. I couldn't do a trick and then land it into a manual. Manuals are tough!Marioarm2

Just like real life! :wink: I think this games controls are brilliant!

I went through the demo twice and by the third time the controls felt very natural and i was doing some sick stuff.

The game feels amazing is probably one of the most fun demos ive ever played. Graphics are top notch and i actually like the camera angle.

Cant really compare it to TH since the last one i played was on PS2 but i do remember it being extremely easy and unrealistic.

I was having a hard time with landing manuals. For me the game is a little strange. I like it but I'm not sure if I would ever finish it. I hated the camera angle. I just can see myself now getting sick after a hour play session. And then the controls are fricken hard to get the handle on. My son is 4 and loves TH games, I gave him the controller and he tried to play it for a bit and then told me to put in tony hawk because this game sucks.

Well that's from a 4 year old. Back to TH for me.

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 a lil to white for me i like tony hawk morethemtman

from a skaters point of veiw, it rocks.

it feels so sweet to even land simple stuff that looks good. the whole demo level would suck if it were in tony hawk, becausethat series isjust so over the top now. it's nice to have a more realistic skate game.. i'll be getting in for sure.

my buddy played it for a bit the other day.. he went out and bought a 360 in anticipation for it that night.

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

no this game is no ware near halo statis. it dosnt have a compeling story. no hero thats goinig to save the world. ur just an every day skater who becomes famous wow. wuh pee like thats never been done defore. and the controls r fustrating. and ok TH is unrealistic but at least i can grind in TH and they dont make it impossible like in skate

HALO BLLLOOOWWWWWSSSS!!!!!!!!! get over it!!

I think EA strived too hard for realism. Sure, games are fun when they are more realistic, but I think Skate is just a little too tough.I don't mind a challenge, but a game that plays like Skate doesn't interest me. At least in Tony Hawk I could practically fly, now THAT was fun. :lol:

That's right. That's exactly why Halo 3 has more preorders than any other game. Ever. ;)

As for skate. Anyone get to view their vids online yet?

I for one think skate is a great game. The controls are very intuitive, all you have to do is play the demo for 10 mins and it will start coming pretty naturally. I find myself not having to think THAT much about what I want to do. And I love the camera angle.

If I were to get a skating game, this would be it. But I'm not sure if I will... the only lame part about the game is when they introduced that guy, and then showcased his board, his shoes and his wheels. lol. It was ridiculously funny in a terrible sort of way. ZOMG HE'S WEARING NIKE SOMETHINGZ WEEEEEEERD.

If they took out the flicking to jump it would be better. I guess terrible was harsh. The graphics are nice. A simple A button to jump is all i'm asking for. For people who want some more reality to their skateboarding games, I guess this caters to them.skelly7483

jumping on a skateboard is hard to do.......so why make it easy on the game?

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.

KillFace910

I just did a backflip no problem, I'm uploading the clip right now, but for nowhere is the link to someone else doing one: http://skate.share.ea.com/profiles/2825/posts/21435.aspxI hope you have 6 grand ready for the 100 copies of the game. Please post a video of you eating the 78 discs, I think that might be the funniest thing i'll see in my whole life.

I cant believe you suck so much. You complai about the 'flickit' controls. Its simple. You push it down, and then up. Easy right? Yeah it is. Unfortunately you are so noob, you complain cause EA are sickest **** out, and they improve TH immensely. You cant handle it cause its not exactly the same.

Skate owns TH in realism, graphics, and overall agmeplay. The whole 'flickit' control system is designed to replicate board and foot movement, and EA have done this well. Unlike TH where you can pull off bull**** combos, getting 300ft of air, this game is designed so you can feel as though u replicate actual skating achievements.

And for those of you who say manualling is hard, What the hell is wrong with you. It is so simple, you ollie, and land with the stick 1/2 way down, or up. Simple. Ie/ Its not hard to nollie out of a grind, and land in anose manual to boost your points.

you all need to harden the **** up. This game gets a 10 out of ten, based on controls graphics and general gameplay. Apart from its minor glitches (expected in a demo) this game is perfect.

maybe you jus suck at games?

play pacman its much easier

:cry:

The demo is amazing.
I love the controles.

The only things i dont like are:

1. The Story.
2. The Shameful Adveratiseing.
