Skate 2 A.K.A. The Shred Thread

Anyone else play the demo yet!? OMG I'm in luuuuuuuuuuv. I'd recommend this game to ANYONE.

 

Didn't think it was up quite yet.

/me goes to check marketplace

 

I cannot wait for this game....

 

Skate was the game of the year for me(2007)I love the freedom and stage designs to this game. I'm getting this badboy(Skate2)on the PS3(DTS 5.1 FTW!)I'm not getting it day one, I need to beat the stuff I already own, before I drop 60 beans on a game. And plus, I'm spending alot of money next month(SF4 is costing me alot cash! Then KILLZONE2)

 

I was just crying two seconds ago... the game is so beautiful. The framerate has been doubled and you can bust out all the ol school tricks I've been trained into doing.

For die-hards of the first game: So far ive noticed that you spin approximately 66% as fast as in the original. If you use the right stick to tweak out a turn, you'll rotate as fast as if you didn't tweak in the orginial Skate.
Bailing isn't as jacked as it used to be, example: If you attempt a flip trick over a rail and the board gets caught, you'll still land on your feet. Also when bailing at higher altitudes, the skater will flail his arms and legs and you can even you the right stick to adjust bailing. REDONKULOUS.

The Hippy Jump is my most beloved addition to the game so far, and you can 180 Bodyvarial during them.

 

You could do a hippy jump in the first one couldnt you?it was insanely hard though.

 

You can do a late 180 shuv and a 180 in the opposite direction.
With the Hippy jump though, the board isn't popped at all, making for some easy over-under rail clearings!

 

I dont understand how all the new tricks are implemented, how many more flicks can they possibly add to the already huge amount of stuff you can pull off with the analog.

 

as far as flip tricks go, there are no new ones.
I'll list some new stuff

No Comply: Halfway during a push with your FRONT FOOT (X/A) pull RS /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/d.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/u.gif

Fastplant, Boneless etc.: push while grabbing on the ground.

One foot plant (Mike V type flamingos etc.): Push LT/RT and X/A before landing.

Fingerflips, Varials: Use the Right Stick during fundamental grabs.

Hippy Jump: X+A

Dismount: Y. During dismount you can run, jump pull stuff like rails and kickers to set up some sweet stuff. Caveman's are here, and you can jump and even run > jump on your board for some loco stuff. Pressing a trigger will warp your board into your hands.

You can perform grabs during grinds

You can still do all of your bodyflipping such as mctwists rodeos and what not.

Coffin Is now LT+RT+X+A. Old coffin command now gives a new mid-air grab.

You now have bail control and can bail at any point by pressing both triggers AND stick buttons.

Handplants: RB. you can tweak them out, pull leg(s) out etc.

One foot air: simply A/X midair.

I've found from playing that improper angling during landings is a bit more forgiving than it used to be.

 

I hope they fix the online chain combo meter. Everyone was doing the same setup before a trick session or jam. Laser flip 180, manual, Laser flip, manual and your multiX is already full. Is was retarded. All you had to do push once slowly, and there you go. They needed to penalise players for repeated links or moves(Less points, less build up)

 

It doesn't seem so. You can still drop big points off of speed, big fliptricks and manualing in quick succession.

I forgot to mention the Replay Editor has been altered in favor of the camera junkies. WIN! You can mount a camera in a single position and have it rotate-follow the skater for sick ass clips.

 

Yea this game is off the chain! 09' game of the year already lol. I'm glad it's coming out in a couple weeks, ima be playin the mess outa this.

They're super bogus for showing/letting us do some of the customization options only to lose what you made in 8-10min lol, cool it don't send you back to the dashboard when the times up though, can't ask for too much more from the demo though.

Yea watching people going for their 9999999999 point combo in the last one was retarded, no style at all in that. But to each their own I guess right, that's what's cool bout it, you can do ridiculous stuff, go for realism or inbetween. Either way ima be freeskatin like a mofo when this comes out, after I get some dope gear first of course. This is gonna be dope.

 

Can't wait to see/unlock the new spots too, hope they got a couple more skate parks like the Plan B one this time around. That's it from me.

 

i had the first and thoroughly enjoyed it. The best new addition has got to be the party play hall of meat challenge /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/laugh.gif

 

If you guys are unaware, you can totally leave Slappy's skatepark by taking a small kicker to the far right end of the park. When you get there, drag it going in reverse and try and crush yourself in between the kicker and the gate, eventually you'll phase out and end up past the gate. You'll find a TON of stuff to skate afterwards.

 

I can't get it to work, even watched a video of how they do it exactly. My guy just gets crushed every time.

Edit: Got it to work now. Gotta say, if they put that much work into every level this game will be worth every cent. The glitch is still unreliable though, I do the same thing every time, sometimes it works, sometimes not.

 

I SERIOUSLY need to stop playing this demo its all i've been doing and its VERY VERY depressing because it's not the actual game. /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/frown.gif I can't wait until the 23rd.

The new science is that you only spin at max speed IF you "charge" your pop a.k.a. find your sweet spot, so it is a little harder to drop big manual combos

p.s. why does everyone skate goofy in this game lol. Im left handed and Im a legit regular skater w/ no mongo. In switch I usually push mongo though.

 

fount a funny glitch in party play hall of meat challenge,

if you can hit the ground rolling after a deliberate bail and hold both triggers, and cannonball. sometimes when you finally come to a stop your skater will just spin in a circle for a good while, we had one going for bout 10 seconds and it took the score up to 64k.

 

Thats cause when it goofy vs regular goofy always wins..always. lol.

Nah that's wierd though cause i'm right handed but if I ride something like a bike, snowboard, skateboard, it's goofy. Even my boxing stance is southpaw, guess it's just the way people learned.

 

I've had that happen to me in the spot battle. I combusted before I landed directly on top of the A.

Feucha there should be a law passed where goofy is the new regular. OBAMA FTW WOOH!
