Skate 3

[wolves]

Anyone else excited for Skate 3? I played Skate 2 to death. It's the only game I've ever gotten more than 1000 GS points on. The demo for Skate 3 comes out next Thursday and the game comes out in the middle of May. It's part of a loaded May lineup but I'l be playing for sure. I guess the theme this year is teamwork and apparently they've beefed up the online portion to really get people playing.

Have they done anything else major? I liked the first two games.. to an extent. I don't exactly want to play another Skate in JUST another location.

This year they have a full create a park feature plus more creation tools as far as putting your own graphics on things. I'm guessing the gameplay is the same but I know they have difficulty levels now. One is for those who have a hard time with controls, one is the same from Skate 2 & 1, and the third is like a hardcore thing where you have complete control but also makes it really realistic. Apparently while playing on the hardcore setting you have to be really precise when doing things.

I honestly don't mind them leaving the actual controls alone. It was fine with Skate 2. I know they have more tricks which is quite nice. As long as the game has the same variety of challenges as Skate 2 I'm fine with all that. I know some will view it as sort of a "roster update like you get with the regular sports games every year but I think Skate is deep enough where you can play it for hours and still find new things to do.

I will get it regardless because I love the first two to death, but they are going to have to do something more with the franchise to keep it from suffering Tony Hawk's syndrome. Hopefully we can get more of an EWB online presence going for it too.

The week I rented it, you, me, and Maxx had a pretty good thing going on. If more people commit to it, I am 100% up for buying it. Also...apparently the demo will have multiplayer!

[Cactus Drags]

Just hope there's not too many online achievements, I hate them.

The Achievements

So, by my count: 9 online.

The challenges will be hard....the solo/team ranked match might be difficult. But nothign too crazy...I think.

Skate 3 demo hits today, pretty sure it has multiplayer.

I am downloading it!

The blurb says:

'Welcome to the SKATE 3 Demo which offers both a single and multiplayer experience.'

[Cactus Drags]

In!

[Ruki]

How many can play the demo?

[apsham]

We all own PS3s now too right?

Right?

[King Ellis]

I briefly went into the online portion and there must have been around 8 people in there.

Wonderful! You, me, Maxx, Dragsy, and others will kick-flip over Fitzy!

[Maxx]

What is your strange obsession with Fitzy?

[Ruki]

He's the only one I play online with consistantly, so I have to make fun of him.

[Maxx]

Ruki has great friend making skills.

Got the demo, couldn't find multiplayer
