Very cool, enjoyed the first skate quite a bit. Glad they implemented the walking feature though, it does help in giving you more freedom

Thank you for the review decon. I’ve been wanting to pick up a skat game. I loved the first two tony hawks games. But after that, I never liked them and stoped playing them. I have a itch and you have help me reach it.

Deacon,

Glad you had a great time in Vancouver and meeting the dev team. I went to the community event for the original SKATE, back when naysayers were predicting that it couldn’t compete with Tony Hawk. Of course, those of us that played it then knew it would blow the doors off of skater games. I just completed all of SKATE “1″ (both mags, Danny Way compound, X-games, etc) and am very excited to see the new features in SKATE2. The Hall of Meat sounds great, since I’ve had some epic wipeouts that involved faceplants off of overpasses into traffic and my favorite, a headon TEKKEN-like crash into two SUVs at the bottom of a fast hill. (Imagine doll-like flipping through the air, bouncing off one SUV and my body being T-boned by the front of another SUV and you get the idea.

BTW, glad you got to meet “Cuz” and Jeff, since they were amazing to work with on SKATE 1. Is “Cuz” still doing the voices for the Jam sessions in the game, like he did in the original?” Great stuff!

^tony hawk 2 for the psone was pretty awesome though.
just because the latter tony hawk games suck, doesn’t mean that the previous were bad. shortsighted?

Hey Deacon, good first impressions. Loved the first game and will likely pick up the 2nd at some point, just too many good games fighting for attention right now… Hope you enjoyed your visit to Canadaland.

Great to here, the inclusion of a damage system with scrapes and bruises is interesting. I’m very happy with the changes they have made to the replay system, which was one of my bigger gripes with the first game. Overall it just appears that EA has added the featues that people wanted. Good stuff!
