Looks interesting but I still don't think it'll be very good. The build mechanic is pretty nuts but the game just doesn't look like it will be all that fun. After Skate, I can't go back.

This is something that Tony Hawk should've explored. It really takes that gameplay and just adds twists that are great.

Just let me play as Kareem Campbell. And Rodney Mullen. That dude has sweet manuals.

So I am a little confused on the controls. The dude said they were layered, and then went on to explain how you can basically hit "x" and your skater does a random trick. He then went on to say that if you wanted to, you can just put in the correct combo to pull specific tricks off. 
  
So does this mean that there aren't two separate control schemes what what he meant by layered was that you can play the game this way, but if you really wanted to you can hit some extra buttons to get some extra meter magic. 
 
This has me worried about the game as a whole. Aside from getting more flow, is there more incentive to learn a more complicated control scheme rather than just mash your way through the game? 
 
Other than my control issue, the rail sculpting mechanic seems exciting. It looks like it makes for a little easier way to get around and explore in a much timelier fashion rather than trial and error attempts to get to that last tricky spot. 
 
I sure wish you can at least put a hat on Mr. White's head.

I think the design process for this game involved illegal substances.

Looks good but if you're not able to get off the board I am not interested.
