I suppose it being hard is a good thing but it would just frustrate me, I think if you good at it in real life skate makes more sense then Tony Hawk approach to controls. Skate is more fluid and realistic, its almost as people have said like using a tech deck.
 
I'll pull this thread up again.

I got a copy of skate (as well as the PS3 tony hawk) included with the 60 gig PS3 I bought on ebay, figured I'd sell skate and play Tony.

I could not have been more wrong. skate is a great break from GT5P, and I"ve learned so much about skateboarding just from playing this game. Little intricacies, like what stance you are in (or even what part of the board your front foot is on), make a huge difference in the type of tricks you can do. Linking several tricks together gracefully takes practice, but I'm not particularly adept with the sticks, so I'm pretty sure anyone can learn.

I haven't played the Tony Hawk game. Nothing against it, but skate is really good, even if you don't really give a crap about skateboarding. Gameplay is pretty deep, the playable world is large and varied, and the career challenges provide a nice variety of easy and hard tricks to pass as you go along-and they have a habit of teaching you new things that you can incorporate into your runs. I don't see it getting old soon.

One of the better games I've played, and a nice surprise.

How is the online play? I have a feeling I kinda suck, so I haven't embarrassed myself in that way, yet.....
 
Hey! A Skate thread! I was just playing Skate 3 this morning for the first time in months. :D I think I remember reading somewhere that they didn't have plans for any more sequels. That bummed me out because I always felt that this game had great potential but I think they missed the mark a bit -- especially in world building. It's all just too repetitive and then once they do find something unique, they don't built off of it - it's just left in a corner.

Anyways, I'm still a fan of the franchise. Here's hoping they continue it someday 👍
