I wonder when ps store is gonna update... cant wait to play it
It's on the UK dashboard as well now but I can't download it because I don't have gold. Looks like i'll be getting a friend to let me recover their tag to download it.
My first experience (it's already 1:30 pm here):
- The demo area sucks ass. Boring as f*ck. There are absolutely zero interesting spots.
- Hardcore mode is pretty hard. Especially the lack of grind suction. I jumped in between two rails which where less than 2' apart from each other. Also a 360 flip is only possible with enough air (almost not on flatland) and with the exact right flick of your thumbstick. The one thing I was sure of I was going to do, was kill every challenge on hardcore mode. Now: not so shure anymore.
- Darkslides are pretty awesome, but pretty hard to do (in hardcore mode).
- Underflips are awesome. Especially the pop shuvit + late kickflip variation.
- Off-board physics have improved a lot. Everything is much smoother now. Controlling your character feels right now, not like in Skate 2. Also, you can now actually do a proper drop-in. Just stand near the coping of a ramp/bowl and press Y, while on foot. And last but not least: You can actually punch people in the face with your skateboard or your bare hands.
- General physics have improved. Everything is smoother now. Bailing is awesome now. You can actually stumble out of a not-landed flip trick.
- You can choose between High and Low camera (the same as skate 2) and between fish-eye (like in skate 2) or no fish-eye.
- There is a 20 minute timer in the demo, but you can restart the demo at the end, with just pressing the A button.
- The skate school is in the demo but it's optional. Also not the whole skate school is in the demo.
- Body flips are disabled in the demo. And it's 100% sure not my lack of skill. I have played skate 1 and 2 for at least 100 hours. It just isn't possible.
- The no-comply glitch is no more.
- You can only download the demo via this link. At least here in the Netherlands, it ain't on regular marketplace yet.
