Skate 2 Forum

Played it at my mates house (He has the 360 and I have the PS3) and its great. It feels almost exactly like the first one (which is good), the turn speed works well I think. I could understand people saying dont buy it if you have the original (I think you should buy it anyways, just because the new city looks great) but I dont own the original, so Ill be picking this up regardless.

I still play the first Skate. myself. They just put so much stuff in the game to skate off of... it's almost impossible to do everything you could do. I'm *still* finding spots to skate in it. So far in the 8 times I've played the demo, I've already found a metric tonne of new ways to skate half pipes with the what they've added (try and handplant that high catwalk in the skatepark. ;) )

I had difficulty navigating the new camera editor at first as well. Though after I read the instructions it made perfect sense. It might not be as easy to just flip off a bunch of quick replays with stock camera angles, but it didn't take me very long to set up the angles I wanted with the follow camera. The TRIPOD option is awesome though! To me this seems a lot more like a feature that they are beefing up for people who liked making videos with the first game. There was a lot of stuff you could do with it if you wanted ( ttp://www.gamespot.com/users/Rasgueado/video_player?id=InBlk2b-5b8EvT7Z ), and I'm even MORE excited about what I can do with it now. Especially since there are a lot more moves to make more interesting videos with.

well that wasn't the only thing wrong with that game, heh, although i'll finish they trilogy if they do

and last i checked, skate 2 was supposed to let you change the camera angle to a less skate vid view. i'm just saying that people should stop smashing their eggs in the crate.. or something.

I also think my biggest complaint with the game is the off board controls. Does anybody else think it's strange that you can move better when dragging something than when your hands are free?

However the game is much better when you get out of the park with that drag glitch. There's a lot of stuff to skate in the little bit of time you have left.
