Skate Demo on Xbox Live

This one seemed to slip under my radar a little until my mate mentioned it.

It's defenitaly worth trying out. It's got enough different with the Tony Hawk series to make it worth trying even if you didnt like Tony Hawk. The 'easy to use' and 'hard to master' "flick-it" control works realy well in my opinion.

Some of the bails are amazing with the rag doll, meaning me and my mate spent about 15minutes just trying to hit the rails with the board but send the guy flying on without it

The replay mode is also quite sweet (slowmo for the win) but I haven't found out how to view other folks vids online...

Oh also, press "left bumper + down on D pad" to set a marker and "left bumper + up on D pad" to teleport to that marker. Its great for setting up a start point for a line then having turns about.

I am interested in this. The Tony Hawk titles have become really bland to me lately so it is good to see someone else try to inject some freshness into the genre. Too bad I don't have a 360 (yet) and the PS3 demo isn't out (yet).

Cool, had no idea this was being released though

Gonna download this overnight and check it out tomorrow. Looks like its going to be alot more realistic then Tony Hawk, which might be a good thing.

WOW!

This game is waaaay more realistic than Tony Hawk, doing combos is a real challenge. I am without a doubt buying this game when it comes out

Damit, has anyone figured out how to view other peoples videos online that they've uploaded? Hell, does anyone know how to view your OWN videos?!

When you upload one yourself it acctualy renders it, which I thought was a bit strange because I thought it would just be a small 100K skeleton data file that another skate owner could download in seconds. However, when you finish rendering and uploading it says "check out skate.ea.com" so I can only assume that it renders an AVI or something then you have to view them from a PC - Thing is, I can't find anything...

I mean christ, the demo was DELAYED so they could get this feature working properly!
