A few massive annoyances with game so far:
First impressions, not worth the 91% PSM3 mag gave thats for sure.
- On some challenges it gives you minimal room to get lined up for the trick and not enough room to get a decent amount of speed up.
- On the challenges where you are facing off against 3 other opponents in small bowls every run at a trick is ruined by bumping into the opponents. They don't need to be there. The comp could just give them a score.
- I've noticed some slowdown and even worse a couple of huge glitches where you just pop into the screen.
- The soundtrack is pants. Usually these kind of games have cracking soundtracks but this is cack.
Nope, only skate games ive ever played are TH and 720
To add to the above:
- The career mode is very stop-start.
- It's too difficult to land certain tricks such as grinds, as you have to be sooooo precise.
- A lot of the challenges in career mode are too difficult, with the downhill racers the only ones I would say I was any good at.
- Strangely there is more traffic in the out of city downhill runs than the inner city ones.
- When you crash into a car it resets you right in front of the car losing you even more time than the initial crash.
- On the downhill runs when you crouch for speed your character fills up to much of your view so you can't easily see cars in front of you, a little transparency would have been nice.
- The people standing around the edge of the events get in the way and ruin your runs.
I could go on with a long list of gripes, and if I was to play this again i'm sure I would find a lot more. I do not like this game.
I know the recent Tony Hawk games haven't been great and have been "Marger-ed", but after playing Skate 2 it has left me longing for something from the TH3-4 era.
I've kind of helped myself a little bit by changing the camera angle. Thing is I loved the first one and never changed the angle, just this one I had to.
Im still only playing the demo as im waiting on peoples opinions of the game. All im really interested in is if they've sorted the FPS/Lag issue that plagued Skate 1 on the PS3, if they've done that i'll be happy.
After he's got the platinum on it, obviously.
