Cross Buy man!
How's the Vita version?
I'm honestly want to buy it because I enjoyed it on the Vita I look forward to the pc version (which hopefully will be announce soon) so I can play 4p splitscreen and with a DS3 on my TV with good sound.
It's not about the 10, it's about I wouldn't play it again on two platforms.

Come on, do you really have to ask?
It's awesome on Vita. Roll7 have really upped their polish for the sequel.
HDMI, wireless controller and TV response time will always be worse than on the Vita but normally you shouldn't make the game that much worse so you notice it negatively.
What tv do you have and did you set it on "gaming" mode?
Most tv's (like my Samsung tv) have an option to enable gaming/pc mode which reduces latency and it's a must for games.
My friends 3d LG tv (which is about 3 years newer than my 2009 tv) doesn't have a gaming mode which reduces latency which is really terrible and is annoying as hell.

Real slick. I had this happen once for me and the feeling is incredible. Everything just clicks for a particular run; after that happened, I can't stop playing and jamming out to the tracks.
Seriously, my kingdom for this. I'm still pretty new and rough at this so I'm baffled by how some people skill out these high scores for the dailies.

Anyone have tips for landing with a manual? It seems like its pure luck if it lets me do it or not. Its almost putting me off playing the game because it disrupts my entire combo.

Once you nail the basics (and stop pressing X to jump like an idiot) this game great. Going to take a while before the controls feel completely natural though.
Don't press left or right on the stick too early, I have been pulling it a split second before the X button upon landing.

same rhythm as regularly landing...you can hold left or right before you land.....
Now, revert to manual is killing me
I was talking up the flatland before and now I'm here to say grind switches are also going to be key to getting highscores this time around. The movement is exceedingly simple to execute after pulling off a perfect grind, just move the left stick to a new direction and tap X to switch into it. This effectively doubles all the number of grinds you can do in a combo if you grind switch throughout a level - which will add up over time.
Same notion, just hold L or R as you press X to land and when the sound effect is done or thereabouts that is the new timing for when to pull the left stick left or right.

One area where OlliOlli2 unfortunately falls short of its predecessor is in the cross-save functionality.
The original game had a excellent cross-save implementation, which was seamless and automatic. There was no fiddling around with menus--you could stop playing on one system, then start up on another system, and all of your progress and high scores were instantly available.
In OlliOlli2, they've already taken a step back by changing to a manual cross-save system, which is tucked away in the Options menu. Even more disappointing is that the cross-save simply doesn't work. On both PS Vita and PS4, trying to synchronize the saved data gives a dialog box with a message:
After trying to "connect" to PSN, the process continues with no indication whether the sync succeeded or failed. It's clearly failed, though, because I've tried this several times alternating between PS Vita and PS4, and no data is ever transferred.
Has anyone gotten the cross-save to work successfully? If this feature isn't working, then I sure hope they can fix it quickly. I'm having flashbacks to the early days of the original OlliOlli on Vita, where the frequent crash bugs took several months to be resolved.

That really needs some getting used to indeed..
Fun little game though, definitely a keeper for me.

Works fine for me so far. Make sure to reset it when you first play!
So this is weird... I think it actually plays and generally feels better on PS4 than Vita. Maybe it's easier to track what's going on on the screen, see the ground and time landings better?
In the very least, the lag that was present with the original OlliOlli on PS4 is non-existent with this. Much, much snappier and I think it might play a little better than the Vita one.
Case in point: The second last basic Aztec stage there's a goal for completing the level in one combo, and so many of the runs I did on Vita just wound up on me hitting the ground and mistiming the manual. But on PS4 I did that run in the second or third attempt. Maybe I just stick with the original on Vita and this one on the big screen.

Tried the Vita version last night and I had a lot of difficulty with performing circular motion tricks. I couldn't even get the five that were required of me.
Yeah, that was strange. It will be unlocked as soon as you reach second world.
manuals as in landing from a jump/trick and then instantly balancing on two wheels? that's possible from the get go. While landing i just hold the left stick down (or into another direction) and he balances instead of landing.
Nah, I accidentally did manuals on one or two of the earlier stages before the one that told you to use them.

Loved the first OlliOlli, I didn't know what to expect. Started playing around 9pm last night next thing I knew it was almost 11:30pm congrats Roll7. Best part is with it being a PS+ game I can convince my friends to play it this time.

Yeah, they sold me on this game after this line:
"Eliminate the criminal underworld of the citys three major districts and persuade undecided voters to your cause, tackling the issues that matter by putting a gun in the mouth of those issues."

I'm so pleased this was one of the PS Plus games, I would never have bothered with it otherwise.
It's such a great game! I loved the Skate. games so using the analogue stick to pull tricks feels quite natural to me. I only had about an hour on it last night but managed to get my first completely perfect run of a level - I'd be lying if I said it didn't leave me with a huge grin on my face.
Definitely going to give this game some serious attention over the weekend.

Ah the daily grind. My nemesis returns yet again. Get really good scores in practice. Completely fuck up on the real thing.

Any tips on how to grind the train on level 2? I can't get high enough from the ground or low enough from the prior edge to grind it.

Damn, loving this game but on Welcome to the House of Fun I cannot for the life of me do a Double Heelflip. Whatever I do, it gives me 360 flips, frontside shove its, or ollies if I'm too slow. I cant figure this one out at all. I cant even do it just practicing on a skatepark level.
EDIT: Figured it out. It says to do a half circle, but this totally screws you up, at least on the PS4. Its more like diagonal down left/right instead of full left/right. I can do it pretty much flawlessly now.

I don't know if it's just me but I feel like hit detection is a bit off in some spots, like if you grind a rail near the very beginning of it it doesn't register. Otherwise fun game.

The white arrow signifies a second motion. So you've got he yellow motion underneath which you perform andthen perform he white motion before letting go of the stick. So you might go clockwise and then anticlockwise all in one motion for example.
Ugh. I am really struggling with the very first specific-move combo on Curse of the Aztec Stage 3. The Crooked Grind is easy enough, but I just can't nail the Bigspin Flip afterwards. Do I need to release R between moves, or can I just keep it held down?
Edit: Ha ha. I've been trying that for an hour, and as SOON as I post about it, I nail it. Typical. I kept R held down.
