Ganepark32 Posted May 20, 2009 Posted May 20, 2009 Activision have come out and said that this isn't exclusive to the 360 in the UK. Seems PS3 and Wii users should now resume their hate or whatever it is you feel towards the title. Me, don't really care. Personally think Skate has advanced the genre as far as it needs to go in terms of controlling the game and that the introduction of motion controls won't really improve the experience that much. If anything, it'll frustrate and dilute it. Just look at the controls for Skate It on the Wii. Ok, granted, they aren't bad and sort of work yet they aren't as workable as those that a standard controller gives. And the balance board didn't exactly bring much to the experience either.
Shorty Posted May 20, 2009 Posted May 20, 2009 It's ridiculous really. Basically, TH took a year out to figure out a way to catch up with Skate in terms of innovation. Their brilliant idea was: "oh hey, you know what we're doing with Guitar Hero...." It's stupid. We don't need a version of every kind of title that uses a peripheral, when will developers realise we're perfectly happy with regular controllers, we just want great games to play with them. What's next, a Fifa game with a big plastic football?
Ganepark32 Posted May 20, 2009 Posted May 20, 2009 ^ Dear god, don't give EA any ideas. Or Activision as they may well use it as a way to move in on the football genre.
dwarf Posted May 20, 2009 Posted May 20, 2009 Christ! EA should do that, practical as well because it would fit in my living room!
flameboy Posted May 21, 2009 Posted May 21, 2009 god played on that or something similar what a shitter of a game.
Caris Posted May 26, 2009 Posted May 26, 2009 Well you pay the same price for Guitar Hero so it's not bad at all really.
Ganepark32 Posted May 26, 2009 Posted May 26, 2009 Saw this elsewhere yesterday. For those on the continent, it'll set you back 200 Euros apparently (for some reason this laptop doesn't have a Euro button. Strange). I'd say we can expect at least a £100 buy in price for this in the UK, hardly worth it.
flameboy Posted May 26, 2009 Posted May 26, 2009 Got beaten to posting about the ludicrous price! Now I repeat what I wrote earlier what a load of shit!

Deathjam Posted November 21, 2009 Posted November 21, 2009 Well Gametrailers have a review up and the result? Shocking:
flameboy Posted November 21, 2009 Posted November 21, 2009 lol "your better off buying a real skateboard and learning how to ride it. It's defintely easier to go in a straight line" I actually want to play this to see how shite it is...
BeerMonkey Posted November 30, 2009 Posted November 30, 2009 3.5 on gamespot yikes this game looks atrocious looks like they need to go back to the drawing board. they added that skateboard but made the levels smaller and removed alot of stuff what the hell were they smoking when they thought that would be a good idea.
Ramar Posted November 30, 2009 Posted November 30, 2009 Seems like the best thing about the review was Chevelle's Jars in the background at the end.
Shorty Posted December 2, 2009 Posted December 2, 2009 Lets face it, it was a really bad idea in the first place. It was one of those "how can we go in a new direction" meetings where the high ups said "What are activision doing that's making them so rich?" "Well... they have these plastic peripherals..." It's the video game equivalent of the Orange mobile ads you see at the cinema where they swap classic film elements with video messaging and twitter updates.
Dan_Dare Posted December 7, 2009 Posted December 7, 2009 This looks comically shit. I want impressions from anyone who can get their hands on it.
