A) I think it's pretty crappy that EA's not at least come out and said something on their forums about this SNAFU, lends them zero credibility in this issue at all.
B) The dude's you chat with on Tech Support aren't in the same room, let alone possibly even the same country as the engineers "working on" the problem. No need to be a jerk to those poor folks, they're just people putting in their 9-5 and having to deal with someone elses' problems.
C) Spare me some googling, can you use a cap card with a laptop???
I hope Bill is right...
yes
bill talks like he's a computer
should be back in the next week... according to customer support
They also said 24 to 48 hours.. I wouldn't fall back on anything said in there man..
and the fact that people get the same generated responses really doesn't help the cause..
Business call for all you fake skaters.. invest and never worry again. sure sure. I'm going the cap card route.
Good to hear it will be dealt with. I got some parks I wanna drop.
Deleted the crap
No more bs guys
Keep this thread on topic

me too ahahhaaaaaaa!
Anyone know how long its been? 2 weeks? bummer.........
About one week to the day, I think. I know I grabbed some stuff last Saturday night, and didn't hear about Reel being down until about Monday.
Update...
I really cannot tell if this is fake...
I hope its real. http://forum.ea.com/eaforum/posts/list/5540994.page
A mod said the reel is dead and (probably) never coming back... Aint that a bitch.
if they really did can reel for good im left with mixed feelings.
first im pissed because its gone, secondly im thankful for it not being there anymore, disctracting me from more important stuff.
reel is dead, it was fun. thanks.
-------> life
-------> life (it's a bitch, but it's life)
If it is gone it could actually improve full lengths I think..
One filmer using their capture card to slowly progress, share spots.. would be less of skate parts and more of a skate video..
It's like we've been reverted to OG in a way..
Step up or move on.. exactly.
at least we can rely on our communities to be intact for the time being.
guess its time to make a choice for some dudes, Hauppage HD PVR is like $200 ish if you can justify it, or even like a dazzle or something, Demz still rocks in standard def...
Can you guys still play online or is it just Skatereel thats screwy? At the very least guys with cap cards/PVRs could go online and help film for others if it comes to that...
is it still possible to upload to youtube from ps3???
(if its not, than i guess its time to say goodbye)
Skate Till Death (STD) / Doppelgänger Produktion (DP) / Small Town Crime (STC) / Dharma Inc. / Cap Faction ST
...yep! did that yesterday to get a few clips for my likebutter cotw entry!is it still possible to upload to youtube from ps3???
!!!
Just wanted to point out that the first post is probably Colic.
Brian the mod in the second post has been clueless and out of the loop forever.
In all fairness nobody knows what the future holds, but investing in a capture card isn't a bad idea if the cash is available.

Fuck it. Game over for me. I had a part I was working on (been about 6 months in the making, I'm lazy as fuck) but I'm not willing to shell out for a Hauppage to finish them. I had some clips I wanted to send to manny for a team thingy but that's gone out the window.
Got my Emerica Romero 2 Toy Machine collab shoes today though... So fuck it, today is a good day.
Bri you should make that your sig
Replicant, you should ask around to see who started THIS site.

My convo with Cuz today
ME:
Sorry to bother you on this, but I'm guessing you might know someone who knows something? We can't access reel clips or caps online for almost 2 weeks. Since I'm the admin at Fluckit ands it's arguably the most viewed source for info anymore, I was wondering if I could pass along any info. Thanks dude
CUZ:
Hey Brian,
Unfortunately, since I have absolutely nothing to do with EA anymore...I actually don't have any info. I do know a few people, but the ones I know have moved on to other projects. When I left in October, there was a real sense that no-one cared about the game at all. They were gearing up for their Black Ops SSX and didn't give a rat's ass about Skate.
Bummer...I suspect fixing Skate reel is pretty low priority if a priority at all. I'll email someone, but I'm thinking y'all/we need to keep at customer service.
Sorry...this rips my heart out, because Skate was our baby. Ugh.
ME:
Thanks dude, as I'm sure your guessing, this is not good news to all our buds. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Keep rolling bro
CUZ:
Yeah, it sux for me, too. We...The Oak Street Locs...were starting up a new vid. Hopefully someone will fix this...it kills me. Truly kills me.
ME:
yeah dude that just plain sux. We were doing a final OATS X (10 btw haha) is was gonna be special. Me and Pawn have means of still recording. But Tubs was saving his clips up and going to get a little xbox $ card thing and upload in one day cuz hes saving his bread for college. Oh well from me and the rest of the (now practically crying comunity because I shared your response) we thank you man, met a lot of really cool peeps
If I hear anything, so will you

Dudes... This is NOT something to wake up to. I'm glad Brian is dropping some science on the subject, but some of this insider info actually hurts a bit... I didn't know Cuz wasn't even with EA anymore, figured the big guy was a high enough level of talent to be moved onto SSX or something... Yikes.
Being one of those "stayed up the night the OG demo launched, got every game the instant my pre-order arrived, and payed for every single piece of DLC aside from the time is money packs" kinda guys, I feel more than a little bit ripped off. I don't know a whole hell of a lot about teh intertubes, but given how many games much older than this manage to keep online communities going for multiplayer and whatnot well beyond their age of popularity, I'd think keeping the Reel servers going would be a pretty easy thing to do.
But, I'm sure a lot of us shared this concern when Skate was announced 5 years ago as being an EA game in the first place. Like most good businesses, those guys don't seem to act with a lot of heart. Games come out of the gate strong, and degrade through yearly sequels... Dumb concepts ruin solid ones... And now, we can shell out a few hundred bucks in the span of a few years and get a big F.U. for thanks...
This really sucks, guys. I JUST joined and 2/3's of what was supposed to be my introduction to ya'll is still on their bloody site... Ugh.
I for one, don't give up... I just think I went from checking a few times a day to maybe once a week. Hopefully, we'll see ya'll on the playground.
Cant we just get a refund for non functional dlcs ? 8)
3 games @ $60, and an average of lets say $15 of DLC per title... $225 bucks if my estimates hold up. Not counting any software, ISP service, and all the other anceleries that go with fliming... I'd be happy to see some of that back if it's all just another dust collection on my shelf.
yeah, we need a petition set up. get EVERYONE to sign it. then get someone responsible enough to send it on to e.a.
yeah a PETITION is a good idea

Last ditch email to some people left at EA...and they do know about it now, (the right people evidently didn't realize there was a problem) and might be able to get it fixed. No promises...but at least it's on a person's radar that has the skill to fix it. Whether or not it gets fixed, who knows?.... fingers crossed.
Brian McClenahan April 4 at 7:44pm
Wow man. At least a shred of hope. I can't thank you enough even if you feel like it wasn't much, it means a lot to a bunch of us that really get geeked out on this thing you helped bring to life. Your good people, I share this with the whole comunity.

I've got about 6-7 years under my belt working as a Mod before on GameFAQS, IGN, and various anime to f2p mmorpg (mostly korean transplant) sites so I know the curse you speak of. Glad I could help with the sig by brandishing the sword of clueless dumbassedness.

Woke up to bad news, came home from work to good(ish) news. Manic Monday much?!
Hey Brian, if you ever feel like it, can you tell Cuz thanks not just for this help, but for all he's done for us fakeskaters? After all his blogging and other shared passion for this series, I personally really look up to the guy and can legitimatly say my life is different thanks to his efforts. I would have never looking into filmmaking, or any of the other neat stuff I've figured out with sound and video stuff had it not been for this game, and as a musician/voiceover dude/wannabe actor a lot of this has helped my other hobbies out.
Fluck, if you can send a cake with a stripper in it to him and just send me the bill... I could rock with that, too. That man at the very least deserves some boobage in his face for being such a good dude.
