4 places I checked say 22nd. That's the official Australia date it seems.
wait wot? thats tomorrow! i didnt think i could get this till saturday, which would mean no time to play until monday. Hmmm...
Ive gone through the demo 20 or so times and i keep finding neat shit to do in slappys haha. Grinding coping is much easier but still kinda buggy, i can get a smith almost every time whereas i had to fluke it in OG skate
 
maybe I'm remembering wrong then. Pretty great expecting something to drop later than it does. sort of like having the date being pushed up on me :lol
 
Thanks for the Amazon UK heads-up, ordered it right away. Says it'll dispatch on the 22nd, hopefully it's in before the weekend/on saturday.

is the game going to look as horrible as the demo does?

..for 1080p this game looks like gutter trash.
It's not 1080p.

orly?

i just took that two seconds ago from my cellphone. game has jaggies out the ass...
You don't know much about this upscaling business, do you :)?
 
doesn't upscale anything else... it only shows 1080p when the content is actually 1080p. CoD4, RB2, GHWT, Madden 09 all show 720p. any source on Skate 2 only being 720?

Damn it! The offline multiplayer is similar to the first one. What a load of shit.

Yeah, I was surprised there's no split-screen free skate or something.

HAD to be done.
 
I've played the demo for 10 hours and more, I don't need review scores at this point. It's an incredible game.
 
+ awesome HD intro
+ getting hurt missions are AWESOME
+ big black and rob
+ licensed new era caps to wear

- shitty online based achievements
- still hard as fuck
- bars on grind rails, have to pay to remove them and they come back
- framerate suffers badly at times
- still too many similar moves mapped to such a small stick.. 12 attempts to kickflip, just kept detecting ollie or pop shove it.
- on foot tank controls are fucking abysmal
- awkward to move items with much clipping and stretch armstrong arms
- same long winded retry (are you SURE??? yes/no) after every failed trick
 
just a heads up for the aussies -- eb games is selling the game today, probably gonna boot work early to pick up a 360 and this :D, give the store a call though, not all of them have their shipment yet

In case you didn't know, you can hold X(PS3) or whatever button it is on 360 to run.
 
The on-foot controls sucking isn't just about running. Moving around on foot is a pain in the ass in general (although being able to is a very welcome addition)

having pedestrians and traffic cross a line that you have to take to complete a challenge can get frustrating after repeated attempts. Furthermore, when the pedestrians start dropping physics-enabled litter, things can get so bad that you have to resort to picking up a quarter pipe and using it to sweep apples, bottles, and handbags out of the way.

Ah fuck, I was hoping they tightened this up somehow... I hated it how if you sat on a challenge that passed through or happened on a thoroughfare you ended up having huge numbers of people crowding your line. Now they DROP SHIT!!? Fucking hell... That sucks. I know Black Box are amped on Hall of Meat, but i'd rather stay on my board...

Oh, and more importantly, WHO'S GONNA START THE FRIEND CODE COLLECTION? I wanna get this bad boy online asap when I get it!
 
Looks like I'll be missing out on this game for a few weeks, 360 just died. :(

On a brighter note, I had been getting out of the demo area over the last couple of days and I must say that I've had more fun in the small area outside of Slappy's than I did in the entirety of the first game's San V. The environment is just so dense with things to skate and the city just feels less flat than the original. Enjoy the game guys. :(

Terrible timing on your 360 =(

I do agree that the area outside of Slappy's is pretty well designed and is very fun to explore. All of those stair & flatbank combinations everywhere are so much fun. My only complaint about those is that you can't grind the top of most of the banks, which is lame. I think I've explored most of the area outside of Slappy's and it looks very promising all around. There are still a few areas where not much is going on, but I noticed that most of these stagnant areas have a bunch of movable objects for you to play with, which is nice. I can't wait for Thursday :D
