Xbox 360 PS3

EA has announced that the Xbox 360 demo of Skate 2 will be released tomorrow, with the Playstation 3 demo coming next week. The demo includes online play while the game itself is released January 23rd, and one new image was released with these news.
Update: Trailer added, showing some of the new stuff to the game's online modes.

EA press release:
Black Box, an Electronic Arts Inc. studio (NASDAQ: ERTS) announced today that the Skate 2 demo will hit Xbox Live Marketplace on January 8th and the PlayStation Network on January 15, 2009. The demo introduces players to the city of New San Vanelona where they can skate with style and individuality via access to the enhanced character customization tools. Gamers will get a first glimpse of the deep single-player story and exciting challenges in all-new locations. The Skate 2 demo will also feature two of the game’s online Party Play modes: Thrasher’s Hall of Meat and Spot Battle.

Skate 2 ups the ante in delivering all the grit, creativity and culture of skateboarding. Equipped with double the bag of tricks, players are tasked to rebuild their career and revive the skate scene. Now with the ability to get off-board and move objects, gamers can create their own epic spots and challenges, which can then be uploaded, shared and experienced by others around the world.

Skate 2 hits retailers in North America on January 21st, and worldwide on January 23, 2009 – making it one of the first must-have games of 2009. Skate 2 is developed by Black Box, a studio of Electronic Arts in Vancouver, British Columbia and will be available on the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system and the PLAYSTATION®3 computer entertainment system. The game is rated “T” for Teen by the ESRB and is rated 16+ by PEGI.

i know it wasnt trying to be tony hawks with stick control. but it just didnt do anything for me.

skating is one of those things that doesnt interest me at the best of times, but tony hawks managed to make it exciting just cos it was so OTT and exagerated (although its long past being a good series now). skate brings it back down to reality, and sadly for me, skateboarding in reality is about as boring as it gets.

"Different strokes for different folks" thats how they say. Personally I found doing a simple ollie ( not to mention advance tricks ) rewarding as hell .... Peace !

Hell YEAH!:D

Love to make the hardflip and then a rewarding grind. Can't remember what my favorite grind is called... You know the one with the tail. Anyways, Skate 2 is gonna rock! I think that Skate is for people that like real skating.
