Back with a vengeance

Drop in to Olliwood and prepare for finger-flippin’ mayhem in this follow up to cult smash OlliOlli.

The iconic skater is going all green-screen with a stunning new look, plucking you from the street and dropping you squarely in the middle of the big screen’s most bodacious cinematic locations.

The sequel boasts all new Ramps and Epic Hills allowing for monster air and multi-route levels. Further, OlliOlli2’s combo system has been expanded. The joy of Manuals, Reverts, Revert Manuals and Grind Switching giving you more control and expression than ever before.

The hallowed ‘Tricktionary’ also expands with new specials including 540 Shove-its, Anti-Casper Flips and Darkslides.

There’s Five NEW worlds, 50 NEW Amateur and Pro Levels and 250 NEW Challenges to tear through, along with the return of the much loved Daily Grind, Spots Mode and RAD Mode.

OlliOlli2 will be introducing a gnarly NEW Mode: Combo Rush, a split-screen Local Multiplayer (up to four players) with four game modes. This is set to be released post launch – date TBC.

Once again, the crate diggers at Roll7 have scoured the airwaves for a shimmering extended soundtrack, including, Cid Rim, Lone, Faulty DL, Submerse and Mike Slott.

Sorry for the halfassed OT, didn't see it claimed and wanted a place for everyone to discuss the game since I think it will be quite popular with PS+. I'll update it in a bit with some more screenshots and stuff.

 

[darkside31337]

No PS3 version I thought?

Thanks. Fixed.

 

[sn00zer]

Played an Olli Olli game for the first time...this game i hard a bawls.....wow

Also man do the objectives and style give me a hankering for Tony Hawk....this game is good, but I miss the third dimension

 

[Savantcore]

I've played this quite a bit. If you're a fan of the original, you will absolutely love it. It expands and improves on OlliOlli in the best ways possible, and the four player mode coming soon is great fun.

 

[brandonh83]

Great thread title. Excited to skate in.

 

[WoolyNinja]

Can't wait to try it... the first one was one of my favorite "I'll just give it one more try" type games. I'd start playing it and all of the sudden an hour had gone by.

 

[RoboPlato]

Just started playing the first a couple days ago. Hard as hell but I really enjoy it. Pumped this is hitting PS+ day one.

 

[mp1990]

Very anxious to play this one,looks awesome ! Do i need to play the first one to understand the mechanics of the sequel or i can jump directly on this one ?

I haven't played the 2nd one yet but the first had a nice and simple tutorial section that teaches the basics, there's also a "tricktionary" which has a move list with the necessary inputs.

I imagine this one will be similar.

 

[Auron_Kale]

Part of me is glad that I'm purchasing a Vita slim because the first OlliOlli nearly made me want to break my OLED Vita several times.

Looking forward to playing OlliOlli2 on my OLED once more.

 

[eFKac]

Lol agreed with the title. This game (or more like the first game and Velocity 2X) were fucking hard on my DS4 :-D

 

[Crossing Eden]

So I can download this to my ps4 or? I may have gotten the vita PS Plus version by mistake. Edit nvm.

 

[LowlySmokeGuy]

Been playing this a little bit. Jesus, this is hardest game to control in a long time for me. Hoping I get better.

So I can download this to my ps4 or?

Yea it's up now. If you can't find it in the store, just search the name. That's what I did.

 

[Auron_Kale]

If you're a PS+ member, it's cross-buy so buying one will get you the other. In this case, it's PS4 and PSVita.

It took me a while to get the hang of things but once you get the timing for stuff down it really gets good, I hope.

Of course I'm sure it won't be for everyone.

 

[Veritigo_X]

thank mr PS plus

Can't wait to try this out when I get home. Loved the first one.

 

[Fjordson]

I'm excited to get into this tonight. Loved the first one.

For people who have played, how's the soundtrack? That was one of the best things about the first game.

 

[kevin1025]

Pretty great day for PS4 owners, with this and Helldivers, along with the PS+ games. Can't wait to get into this tonight, I loved the hell out of the first game (even though I was terrible at it).

Better.

Not a fan of the controls.

I'd prefer X to be Ollie. Or no landing mechanic. Or the right stick to prepare your trick.

 

[Prevolition]

Does this run on PS TV?

 

[malcher]

Does Cross-Save mean I can start playing on PS4 and then continue on Vita? How do I transfer the saves? (Sorry if the answers are obvious, haven't used my Vita in ages

 

[Cozmogramma]

Does Cross-Save mean I can start playing on PS4 and then continue on Vita? How do I transfer the saves? (Sorry if the answers are obvious, haven't used my Vita in ages

Yes. If it's the same as the first game then it syncs automatically.

 

[xKilltheMx]

Yes

 

[Veritigo_X]

Usually there's something in-game that allows you to upload or download your save game from the cloud. At least that's how it works in Binding of Isaac and Hotline Miami.

You will get used to them. Also these suggestions are really weird and I can't understand how these could be applied.

 

[The Last Wizard]

Holy shit, just started playing and boy is this a fun game. Nice little surprise.

And the music is great too.

 

[robotrock]

Cool, thanks for the OT! Loved the first game, and loving this so far too.

 

[bananafactory]

I don't even know how that would work....ollie and tricks both mapped to left stick makes most sense since it's only one input required.

 

[shmoglish]

Enough time to jump back to olliolli1. Hope you enjoy Olliwood.

 

[Moze]

I'm really looking forward to starting this tomorrow.

It took me ages to get out of the habit of pressing X to olli in the first game.

 

[The Last Wizard]

Guys the music! It is sooo good. It's starting to snow really hard outside, I'm gonna put my good hold headset on and chill with olliolli2 and its amazing music.

 

[Ingueferroque]

I vastly prefer playing this with the Vita nub, it works really well with the flicking actions required. My performance with DS4 is much less.

This game is 10/10. They perfected the presentation and formula with the sequel. Excited to see what Roll7 is doing next.

Play more.. the controls are perfect. I don't see how it would work any other way.

I'm not too fond of the controls myself. I'll give it a few more hours to see if I can adjust, otherwise I'm just gonna delete it and never touch it again.

Get used to it. It will click, it is very rewarding once you wrap your head around it.

 

[Mikey Jr.]

Honestly, I would never have even looked at this without PS+. Honest truth.

Its being on IGC will make me at least try it out. Hope to like it.

 

[Xaero Gravity]

Get used to it. It will click, it is very rewarding once you wrap your head around it.

Yeah I'm sure I will. I didn't play the first one so the controls are a totally new experience for me. Alas, I was just called into the office, so I'll have to get back into it once I get home.

 

[Mikey Jr.]

Also, OP fucked up big time by not having this trailer right on the front.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vmkspv2Do_s

The fuck OP?

 

[Savantcore]

Yeah I'm sure I will. I didn't play the first one so the controls are a totally new experience for me. Alas, I was just called into the office, so I'll have to get back into it once I get home.

It's the hardest thing in the world, but then you get used to it.
Then they introduce spins and it becomes the hardest thing in the world again, but then you get used to it.
This will repeat all the way up to Revert Manuals. When you get used to those, you're ready for Rad Mode.

 

[Confused Cheeseburger]

i can't feel my thumbs.

This game is still as awesome as the first.

 

[PoorChoices]

I'm learning very quickly that I am shit at this game. Trying to learn how to land and the big "sloppy" appears is a big fat failure banner. I'm sure I'll get it, but again, I'm shit so far.

 

[ryseing]

Soundtrack is so good. OMG.

Please let me buy it Roll7.

Super impressed with the little improvements so far. Was there a quick restart that showed challenges in the first game?

 

[killu4what]

Please add me. I need some leaderboard friends. I had a bunch of top 10 scores in the first game. Psn same as on here.

 

[GalacticMouse]

Yeah the original took me a long time to wrap my head around, but it quickly became my favorite Vita game once I had the controls down.

I can't wait to get home tonight and play this. It just looks sooooo good.

 

[gbpackers25]

The first one was great I cannot wait to play this later tonight! I hope the soundtrack is just as good!

 

[viveks86]

Excited to see what Roll7 is doing next.

Not a Hero

 

[myco666]

Was there a quick restart that showed challenges in the first game?

Yes there is. Atleast on the PC version.

Its all about the timing
