EA Skate: Video thread

[Planetary]

use this for linking anyone who's interested to your best lines/tricks.

i got a nice line which ive uplaoded, but i dont know how to get to it online now.

Sorting out the online stuff is a bit shit. You have to register a profile at EA, and then link it up to your Live gamertag. You get emails to do so, but they tend to go all over the place. Just use the email account that Microsoft uses to send you stuff, I think.

You can play this game a hundred different ways. Here are my videos. Its awesome that you can keep finding new spots. I find a place I haven't skated before, and spend like 2 hours on it. Anyway:

We're a bit behind the rest of the net on a skate. video thread. Respect, Planetary.

I'm addicted to this game. THE most realistic skateboarding game ever. Tony Hawk is going to have to step his shit up big time. EA really pulled this shit off right.

[Planetary]

i still cant seem to access my profile on the skate reel >.<

Is this game anygood? I've seen some quite decent reviews, but towards the end of each review the each writer seems to point out obvious flaws like getting stuck in tight places (needing a get off the board function), or framerate issues and the difficulty curve...I've skated since I was five so I love my skating, but I can't decide between skate or stranglehold!!!! (I'm on a one game a month budget these days, so each month is a tough decision)

[Rock]

getting stuck is a bit annoying but you get out of it if you use a little patience (which i never have when i get stuck). its worth it. its the closest game to real skating.

[Kid Presentable]

There are some flaws, but the overall game engine seems to make you forget them pretty readily.

the only things that annoy me are getting stuck in small gaps and the skate reel thing lol

[Kid Presentable]

With that in mind I would recommend it to anybody who skated for any period of time in their life.

Where abouts are you in regard to that reel problem?

[Planetary]

nowhere. i did the whole link the gamertag thing, but i havnt received an email or anything, so the links not confirmed. been waiting for 3 days now

[Kid Presentable]

it will happen eventually. you've signed in to EA nation though? their forums are a good source for help.

[Planetary]

nah i havnt but ill have a look on there. doubt ill find a solution i've looked everywhere.

[Kid Presentable]

Yeah, the skate forums, i think. If you sign into your EA profile (which you might be able to do) you can then go to link profile (memory is hazy, sorry) and it will give you a choice 'link gamertag'. Sorry I can't be more precise, memory is fucked.

Cheers guys

This game is just amazing. When Kid P was hyping it I thought "yeah it could be good" but had no idea it could be this good.

I only got my new 360 last saturday but this has been keeping me off the Haloez. Been mainly freeskating around and not doing much of the challenges but had a good session at them yesterday and opened up the Plan B park.

Amazing scenes. Sadly I cant show you them cause the EA site licks my bawlz.

We should play online sometime. Big Gus73 - I suck but I try my best.

Here's a friends compilation - crap youtube quality but he's incredibly sick at this game. Especially his mental drops.

Is anyone doing Career Mode?

I can't nollie tre flip to grind on that ledge to impress Rodriguez, and its pissing me off. Its the only thing I don't have done until the next set of challenges come along and I probably spent an hour and half trying to hammer it down last night. Fucking frustrating.

I wish I had an answer for you, man. You just need to dial spinning your thumb and cutting back up (or down in this case) to flip. Practice 360 flips upside down. I got it eventually. I'm pretty bored of career because you have to do the Tony-Hawks style tricks to pass most of the filming challenges. So I'm just rollin.

[Big Gus]

I finished it today and, wow, it was amazing playing this game. I'm pretty average at it but it's so fun to play. It's taken me 4 weeks and, according to my stats, 17 hours. Gonna get plenty more out of it online. Really like "own the spot".

I only got frustrated on a few of the challenges and when I beat them I was like *fist pump*. Amazing scenes. I'll definately play through it again sometime in a "games drought".

Here's me doing the pro challenge at the DIY park where you transfer through the window. 360 heelflip to grab to tailgrind to reverse 180 hardflip.

Ooh. http://skate.share.ea.com/profiles/3...ts/507720.aspx

[Planetary]

i still dont have my account working. its irritating

[Big Gus]

Go to your EA profile and change your territory from UK/Europe to USA then resubmit your gamertag.

I got my verification email instantly that way.

Hey can you guys help me try and tee up some online shit in the next week or so? I tried it for the first time last night, and it wasn't bad. I want to skate the Gauntlet online. That's my favourite spot. Can we do that? Your favourite spots are most welcome, too.

Also there's a couply gaps I just can't stop playing. They're nothing special but just cool looking. One is around by Snake's bank (Downtown) and is just two elevated platforms over a walkway. It'd be sweet for games of SKATE.

Oh yeah, it's zebbedee
