Demo Impressions

[Mourning Becomes Electra]

Hardcore is like rebooting the learning process all over again. You really have to work for grinds and the more difficult tricks have to be super popped. It feels sluggish compared to the default but I'll be sticking with this mode from here on.

I really think EA could have done a better job with the demo. It really kinda sucks. The demo area is boring as shit. That's the main thing actually.

some spots, especially close to the demo area but outside of the static are so huge, they just don't look like fun. mega mega huge banks and stairs and stuff, it's the area known from the hesh vs fresh trailer. who wants to skate that stuff?

Yeah I have to say as soon as I heard there was "shark jumping" I thought that PC would be a more Hawk inspired area rather than the Old San Van...and sadly it seems so, huge long rails and stairsets masssive banks and drops and a lot of speed induced curvy bits...let's not mention the crewship and that quarry.....the areas around seem to be all set up for speed and big tricks....all in all a massive dissapointment so far...
and WTF no crail slides or rock'n'roll mechanics and the frame rate is appalling in camera mode, or with the HOM turned on and with a lot of Objects in playarea...

instead of complaining about spots and what not

just think about making your own spots,

make it as real as you want

just wait

I think we can sacrafice Carveton to the wolves, if it means perpetuating the series so we get a Skate 4 then so be it. Us hardcore fans of the Skate series have the CAP and hardcore mode to fufill our virtual skateboarding needs.

Leave the big banks and the massive stairs to the populus who were unable or unwilling to pay through the nose for THR. The Skate commuity is strong and vibrant, we shall become underground, trading parks through word of mouth, sharing trick tips and only making the community stronger.

Skate 3 can 'grow the beard' if we let it.

I like this idea. We become a secret society. FreeSkatesons if you will.

true, c-a-p brings us all the options we want and need, but we can still talk about what we don't like. i mean the whole city is there to skate in but i read a post at the kid's table that summed it up pretty well. the university district resembles a real, modern university which is open spaced to help the students not too feel boxed in.

it's the same with s2. cougar mountain was a fluckin waste of space. i can openly say that. the city still got enough sick spots.

Some things are definitely bugging me a bit...

- Still the same stale animations
- Transition skating hasn't improved at all

I also think I got my hopes up too much with the talk of catching flips mid-animation... shame it's only a couple of preset tricks (shove underflip, fs shove late flip), a bit of THPS dejavu there. I was hoping for something like what you got in the old Dave Mirra games where you could combine tricks as you liked and the animations would mix and match.

No grind suction is a good idea, but I think I'd enjoy it more if there was SOME left from the outside of ledges. I could probably practice my way out of that though

Not gonna comment on the area, CAP is hopefully gonna make that irrelevant anyway.

At least we're getting a new game, I wish they'd start thinking about a core overhaul for S4 though... the flaws in the OG model get more annoying every time.
