Its to good to miss.

I was roamin on the skate forums and found this..

First let me say that I realize I don't post a lot but I have been here since the beginning and am on this site multiple times a day. I am more of a reader than a typer but I thought it was time I speak up.

As an old school skater (real) from 86' till recently I have seen the sport evolve in many different ways. Some good, some bad but as a whole it has evolved which as any sports enthusiast will tell you is the most important thing to longevity. Unfortunately after 20+ years skating I had to have my leg amputated due to an infection (long story). After the surgery I tried to get back into skating but it just wasn't the same. I have found longboarding which has become my vise so not all is lost. I did miss not being able to do the things that I could at one point but you learn to get over it.

When the OG Skate was released I was all over it. A chance to feel some small bit of on board creativity again in any way shape or form would just be great. Thankfully it lived up to my expectations and gave me that creative outlet I had been searching for. As with any game there were some things I would change, who wouldn't but all in all I was truly impressed with the time and dedication the Black Box team spent on keeping things realistic. For well over a year I poured my creative soul into this game unlike any other I had previously experienced. When the first mention of Skate 2 found its way to my ears I immediately felt those same felling's that I had prior to the first game. The feeling of nervousness in the fact of will they pull off this realism thing again. As hard as it was to capture it once can they improve on it without messing the simplicity of it up? Well as a life long skater and long time fan of the title I can say with certainty that I am once again impressed! I have that creative feeling all over again and more intense than ever, I hope it never stops. Thank you Black Box! Thank you for giving me that feeling back! Thank you for taking time to find out what we want! Thank you for taking the time to pull it off! Thank you for the little stuff like the videos once a week and Cuz and his blog cause you know he keeps it G.....did I just type G???? Anyway's. Implementing little things like this make us fans feel like we are truly apart of the Black Box/Skate team.

So without rambling to much just a little note from me to you guys to say thanks for everything and not just doing it once but having the balls to try to do it again and pulling it off, simply impressive. Even though my leg is gone as long as I have my flick-it thumb I am good!

Wow. And I heard this guy is getting a free copy of skate. 2 and some skate shirts.

[EG Haggard Spartan]

Downloaded the demo. Hated it. Not into it at all... (insert sad face)

[AmbientPanda]

waves hand jedi mind trick style*

no, you loved it.

You suck!
 

[Omarrrrrrr]

Well I doubt you could appreciate this game without appreciateing skateboarding.

You don't see me buying Baseball games, or World of Warcraft shit, I don't appreciate those types of games.
And also, I can't stop playing this game!

[EG NeoMorph]

Well I just had a go at Skate 2 and it's OK but the camera is bloody AWFUL.

For example, in the film "Schools In" you have to grind 2 rails. When you start off the camera is OK but then it drops so your body hides the bloody rail so you have to guess when to Ollie. Now for me that's bloody pathetic. REALLY bad camera coding. Half the time it drops and you can't see what the hell is coming up. I tried setting it to High but it seems to make no difference whatsoever.

If they fixed the camera it would be an 8 for me... but the camera makes such a mess up that I give it a 5/10.

[Sean Abdullatif]

I understand..

The cam can get annoying, but I played it so much I dont even realize it. hah. 

[AmbientPanda]

i love the skate 2 camera.

it feels like a real skate vid.

[EG NeoMorph]

i love the skate 2 camera.

it feels like a real skate vid.

Yeah, but don't you think being able to see the grind rail before you jump onto it is a good idea? School's In pretty much stuffs that up. I should have taken a picture of it but I took the game back to Blockbuster yesterday (I had it a week and forgot about it because I was playing Battlestations: Pacific too much lol).

If the camera stayed up like it is right at the start it would be OK but it drops to the point where your body blocks the view. When I set it to High it doesn't do sod all. This is my main hate for third person games... your body blocking what you should be looking at. Now if the camera had multiple viewpoints other than just two that don't seem to the same then I would have bought the game because I really had some fun for a while but trying to judge the jumps and grinds gets to be annoying after a while.

Oh and another thing... the delay before the camera pans was making me seasick at one point... seriously...

Like I said... Great game, crap camera... If I could choose a locked camera view for some of the challenges it would make it tons better.

Im trying to think, what game was that on?

[EG NeoMorph]

Quite a few games gave you several options to where the camera is. Skate 2 gives you the choice of 2 which are not much different to each other. It's the fact that as you go to turn the camera pans late and throws off your direction. When I'm off board I was getting sea sick as I tried to turn then turn back as I overshot because of the camera lag. That was when I was getting seasick lol.

Another glitch was that sometimes after going high on the U tubes I would end up with my board wheels being below the floor and I couldn't move... I had to use the memory location to move again.

[Sean Abdullatif]

It was another skateboarding game!

Tony Hawk: THUG..  now that was awesome...

Memory Location? ahhaha. on the game its called Session Marker.
Ive seen about every glitch in the game..Riding next to a wall and it sucks you in.. haha.

[EG NeoMorph]

Yeah... Session Marker. I only played a few hours with it but did some really fun things with it. Like jumping off a ramp, bouncing off the roof of a car and landing on the other side of the road. I did try to land in the back of a pickup truck but kept missing and ending up UNDER the car heh.

[Sean Abdullatif]

This game can make you hate it so much..

But I still pop it in.

[AmbientPanda]

never gotten frustrated with this game.

i can't go a few days without just popping it in for a freeskate.

[Sean Abdullatif]

Like, I know I play it a lot... and it gets old..

But I still play it.
