What's the PAL date for this ? I'm frothing for it now - that online spot challenge business sounds absolutely brilliant.

According to a few posts up, its been postponed til Oct 12th, bit of a blessing i spose as 2x Halo 3 + 1x Legendary makes Lukey a poor boy

I'm actually looking forward to this more so tbh, not played a demo as much since Crackdown

Likewise actually - and the THPG demo was on for like 30 seconds before being deleted and me going back to this - it really is awesome.

I hope they do something like this kind of reimagining for the next SSX

I've just been told it's the 28th, from someone at EA - unless that means staff get hold of a copy a week or two early I'm not sure.

Really looking forward to giving this a rinse

So that First play doesn't degenerate into a vid thread, I'll have to start a new thread in general gaming I reckon.

Wow, the moderators have become self moderating!

Anyone with this game - can you explain how you generally score (if indeed score is important) - is there a chain system? How do you tend to link tricks together if this is the case, is it a similar mechanic to Tony Hawks?

I would've done a Natas spin on the old lady's hat... WEAK/10

Seriously, skillz

[charlesr]

cavalcade, to score high, you have to do tricks before all 4 wheels touch down. i.e. leap from grind to grind, or land in a manual and flick into the next trick. Landing in a manual is something I've totally not grasped. I can't get my brain to ge the right spot after a flick. It's fine after a straight olly or nolly though... gah.

OK, I've put a link to the pics and vids thread in the first post of this thread.

This wasn't even on the demo radar, let alone any other, but playing the demo last-night has sold me on this, big-time.

I had a quick ride around with arcnas last night, trying out some of the more extreme areas. The Mega Center is a downhill skate park with some massive jumps. Amusingly, when you get to the bottom, there's an ambulance which will take you back to the top. Also tried the X-games arena. Really hard to get on the big rails. And there's an enormous ski-jump style death jump.

What I haven't mentioned before is session marking: if you find a section you want to perfect, you can set a session marker (LB + down on dpad). If you mess up, just press LB + Up on dpad to return to that same point. I use this a lot

Also, make sure you set one before before each challenge so you don't have to ride back to the beginning for each attempt.

Would you say you were a big fan of these types of games, charles?
