Ahhh No....
keep the jumpy glitches so I can skate the snake run and ramp in parkade
rest of it sounds good, especially walking controls, no word on a frame rate update??

[buster_nb]

Lot of good stuff with this patch. I like the idea of higher detail in replays, etc. but they still cant make clip d/l's in 16:9 even though everything else is. I'd rather that than removing the bail glitch.

agreed. except i don't have to worry about downloading clips anymore. but taking the trampoline glitch out is kinda dumb. at least they didn't mention anything about taking out the no-comply glitch.

[tehwoot]

great... no more skateing roof gaps

[Roccityroller]

the No-comply glitch is better, more consistent, and easier anyways.

[greenlake]

you tell those motherlovers to call me when they have black half cabs in the game. untill then, i'll be in my goddamn office.

[Anchors]

"Black Half Cabs" is that a pigmy street gang or something?

[greenlake]

it is now.

[Mourning Becomes Electra]

Exploiting hippy jump in multi what? Whats this about?

I'll take the black half cabs comment and raise you a black chukka. Who in their right mind would wear red chukkas?

[greenlake]

red chukkas man, get them dirty, i mean DIRTY like slipping around on your back on the floor of a bar because they're playing my girl wants to party all the time dirty, and they're A+.

i'm wantin: other color baseball shirts (COME ON NOW), black half cabs, a dashiki (that will never happen) and burgundy pants. and possibly a gesture that's a hand on the ground. that's all i want. oh and the art museum.

[Demzilla]

apperently its out...
no idea if the no-compy "land mine" still works....
but dude on ea said the "superman" doesnt work anymore...




but there is a flower print mumu for robley...



with matching sun hat...

[Roccityroller]

w00t i can film in career mode again.

[Mourning Becomes Electra]

No comply glitch still works

[Madsser3200]

Great

[Adio0709]

No comply glitch still works

Woohh, that's a relief. Now we can still get on buildings and get out of commu and such.

[K05T0N]

feels different cant quite put my finger on it

[Demzilla]

2hours till....


koston..
framerate an issue...
(re to josh)

did anybody find the mumu..

[The Revolutionist]

framerate hasnt changed on ps3.

[buster_nb]

framerate hasnt changed on ps3.

Feels like it has to me. As if its running more consistently.

[joshmutiny]

the random areas on 360 that i have framerate issues hasn't changed. it wasnt on the list to be fixed, so i didn't expect it to, just hoping. walking is easier, yet weird again because i'm not used to it. oh well.

[The Revolutionist]

options>video options>framerate mode

[pawnluvguitarist]

options>video options>framerate mode

literally just found that, testing it out now, there are 3 options:

default

lock at 30 fps

disable vsync (whatever that means)

[eflixxx]

stevland and i feel that 180 ollies are easyer now, its more like in og skate, can anybody back this up, or are we fooling ourselves here, hehe

[The Revolutionist]

not for me mate. 360s still as slow too

[CaseyCadaver]

I haven't noticed any real change. the off board controls feel better but ive been dealing with bad controls this long and now its weird... the only thing i cared about was replays....

[Roccityroller]

the new radar online is nice too

[CaseyCadaver]

havent been online since the patch... might go check that out.

[buster_nb]

They said they fixed the pedestrians and their frequency to appear at a challenge spot, etc. That was complete garbage. Its worse now. And pedestrians just seem to step in front of me now where as before, they'd get out of the way or I could avoid them. They always seem to step where I'm turning. I've since stopped avoiding them all together as that seems to help.

[greenlake]

i heard hoverboards are real but you can only get them in japan.

[buster_nb]

hows that going to help me? pedestrians can hover too.

[Skatehead]

stevland and i feel that 180 ollies are easyer now, its more like in og skate, can anybody back this up, or are we fooling ourselves here, hehe

they feel better 2me...

[greenlake]

hoverboards don't work on water UNLESS YOU GOT POWER.

[Monk]

maybe next patch they can fix the movement controls even better......

kind of like playing splinter cell: chaos theory.

slowly nudge the analog to walk; be able to crouch ( better for filming homies in freeskate: and use a button to roll like if you bail out of a trick instead of eating shit you can hold that button and roll out of it forwards or backwards.

usuing jump to be able to plant ur hand on high ledges and crawl up them would be nice also. just real basic realistic shit they neglected to put into this game.

[JerrelMD]

Now it's brought up again, I LOVE the custom soundtrack on PS3 xD
