hmmmm

are your opponents similarly handicapped?

Yeah, do not want punishing physics for my dude while Danny Way pops 4 feet of air from a stand still...

psyched for this.

So their latest video shows that Skate 3 finally has a customize your own skate park feature. Looks pretty cool; you can share your skate park with the community (more importantly, download loads of skate parks made by people with the patients to piss around with level builders), and you can challenge people to come to your park for a jam. You can also, when free skating, dump objects like ramps, rails, etc, wherever you like to improve a location. All looking pretty sweet.

SKATE 3 DEMO coming April 15th to both XBOX Live and PSN.

STILL PSYCHED!

hmm, demo not particularly thrilling. Hardcore mode is pretty hard, i guess.

Yeah, there wasn't a lot going on in that demo, huh? Just downloaded it and gave it a whirl. Seems like much more of the same, which means I'll prolly buy it, but I'll wait til it's £20-£25 I reckon. Love the new damage indicators when you smash yourself and you go all x-ray though. nice touch.

gotta admit - I can't even drum up enough interest this time around to download and try out the demo for 3. For the most part I really enjoyed the first game, but yearly sequels seem completely pointless here & it just looks pretty much like they want you to buy the same game again. This series is the perfect example of how quickly a fresh, new approach can get completely stale, unfortunately.

such a great franchise doesn't deserve this treatment, I'd love if they at least took a couple of years between iterations and fully fleshed out their new ideas

When Skate came out, the thing that was so refreshing about it is that it felt much more like a simulation of skateboarding than the arcade style version of Tony Hawk. But now they add this bailing mini-game that is honestly less realistic than Tony Hawk even. Hey, throw yourself off a building and then dive headfirst into a dumpster for extra points! Turn yourself into a flying squirrel by holding your arms out!

I'm not sure it won't be fun, and hopefully they'll fix the graphics (especially of the characters, who looked terrible), but the demo definitely made me wonder. Think I'll rent this one.

playing the skate3 demo got me back into playing skate2. and i'm into it! still hard as hell tho.

they really don't expect you to have all of those tricks at your fingertips, right? i basically look up what i need to do for a given challenge and then try to execute it. if i just go i end up doing the same things over and over again. and some of the challenges are damn near impossible. i always feel like i'm just half-assing my way through things -- getting my thumb to do the same thing consistently is basically beyond me i think.

but still, i'm really liking it. frustrating but it has me coming back. i'm excited for 3!

I think I'm more hyped at the rumours of a Skate 4 than I was about the recent Fallout teaser/rumours.

i think i'm more hyped at the prospect of gifs of hilariously janky physics in a potential skate 4 than i was about the recent skate 4 rumours

I think if they can combine the traditional janky physics of the Skate series with the revolutionary jankiness of Mass Effect Andromeda we could be in for a real treat
