Well i am playing the hell out of the Skate. demo and when i first hands on it i thought Tony Hawk Series R.I.P as a skater a was so impressed with the realism from the controls to the score system it felt like i was skating unlike tony hawk games which only made me wanta skate(they got me into skating in the first place).Nail The Trick and Flicket go toe-on-toe but flicket wins since its real time and not slow-mo also grinding is a lot better more realistic than taping the grind button.

If tony hawks wants a chance at beating skate they need to slow the game-pace down (honestly crouching down doesnt make you faster if any thing it makes you slower and standing up doesnt make you as slow as walking) make nail the tricks controls better and real time make grinding realistic take out the 1,000,000 point combos and make line system then maybe just maybe.... They can beat skate and if they say well there stealing all of skates ideas, well there's a hell of a lot of things that skate have from tony hawks! so suck my ballsssssssssssss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
