Nope, I got the 'ending screen' still a few team vids to finish and one bonus death race and a few spots to find other than that. Yeah the main story line resulting in you owning another skate park is over.

Dam I haven't even bought the game yet :(

Hopefully within the next few hours I'll have it.

Sorry DM and Spookie if you played. My dreams of playing last night were dashed by my wife actually staying up past midnight for the first time since I can remember. :laugh:

I should be on at various times throughout the day today, and then definitely tonight my time for sure.

I without a doubt will be playing the Career for awhile though just to try and get better at this damn game, but I will definitely be into some online play as well.

IF all goes well today, I should have this by tonight (fingers crossed).

I have to be in 2 places at once at 2PM, BUT, I get my car/truck back at 2, which will make going out and buying the game that much easier later on today.

Let me know when you go on.

So anyone have any tips for how to get high scores when doing just street tricks?

Specifically, I have to do a OTS where I need to get 1200 points on winding steps, and pretty much the only way down is on a ledge that curves, leaving me to do only grinds more or less. I just cannot get the simple 1200 points and it is really starting to annoy me.

When I can, I will put the exact name of the OTS, but just wondering if anyone has any tips for better scores when dealing with almost just street.

Also, hoping to maybe play this in about two hours give or take an hour each way. Not 100% sure but we will see. I did sign on before for a bit just to do career, and it said I could not connect to EA Nation, but maybe it will work later.

Yes please...I'm having the same problem.

So no help or tips for those of us struggling with street skating?

The only tip I have is to flip whilst griding, as you will get points for the flip and the rotation in the flip. You will often land a diffrent grind too, like my first (rather crap) Video Shows. :)

The bit I am struggling with is the Chris Haslam cahllenge as I din't know how to fingerflip.

Thanks man. Yep, I throw in as many flips as I can, and still no luck getting good score. :blink:

AND US TOO!!!! We cannot figure out for the life of us how to do a Finger Flip!!!

I am all cool with being vague about the controls and letting people figure them out themselves, but honestly this game needs them...

I sent Munky and habnad a PM of an image I found that lists all of the move from Skate 1, I am at work or would be able to find the link for you...

If either of them reads this, and still has the PM, can you post the link to that image with all of Skate 1's moves? A decent amount of them have changed, but some of them are definitely still the same...

Sorry, I would have replied sooner but I've been out all weekend with a new girlfriend. :p

Do a tre flip/360 hard flip/etc and spin as much as possible then land in a difficult grind (that'd be a tail/nose/blunt) and then as you exit try to do another difficult flip and spin as hard as you can. It will look silly, it won't look realistic but it'll net the most possible points you can grab. I'll try and upload a skate reel later if it behaves at last.

The full list of tricks is located in the pause menu, they come with little videos too. :)

On a happier note HAHA I DID IT! I COMPLETED THE GIRL CHALLENGE! So I've done everything bar the skate challenges with the pros (which shouldn't be a challenge since you can easily do 540's down some of the gaps).

Nice, thanks for the tips. Will try them later today for sure.

Oh, reason we want a list for the tricks, is I know they are in the pause menu, but they are not there when you do the CoOp free skate, and we needed some of the tricks to complete challenges, hence why a nice list to refer to either printed out or on my laptop is sweet.

Ah right wasn't aware of that, just had a quick bash online and by christ. The survival ones are nigh impossible. Me and duff have managed to clear the rest of them though! :p

Try running through the Challenges (i think its the Stadium/Arena) and "The Big List" of goals.

3 and 4 of us last night were one or 2 off...wow was that getting annoying.

I downloaded and played the demo, it was all right.

The walking mechanic was pretty poor, which you think in this day and age would be better, and the custom character creator is really bad, maybe I was missing something but no matter what I changed he came out looking like some man from the stone age.

Nope, the CC is just really bad, way stripped down from the last game, which really does not make sense to me, that the first game had a better character creator than the second?

I can usually create myself in even the lowest CC pretty damn quick and it always comes close to looking like me. In this game, I cannot get it to look like me AT ALL. Just wish I could use my character from the first one, as it looked just like me for sure.

Bald with a beard?

Can't be that hard surely. :p

But this happened with one of the tony hawks didn't it? they for some unknown reason made the creator pretty crap and somewhat useless?

I remember back on Tony Hawk 4 I think it was, we would make all sorts of odd characters from films and other games, ah well.

    • Rockstar gives last-gen GTA V players free upgrades tomorrow

      By +Random Stranger · Posted

      I don’t get why if I bought the game on the last get I needed to pay $40 to upgrade to the new version in the first place and people who love the game and play a lot would have upgraded already so this is just PR and a chance to grab new players who forgot the game long time ago I think
    • Nearly half of American adults now use AI, but concerns are also growing

      By tradesetter · Posted

      The term "use" is doing a lot of heavy lifting in that headline. "Use" can mean opening ChatGPT occasionally to ask for the definition of a word or information about a specific topic. If you frame the question around how many people use it as a daily driver in their work or personal lives, that number is a lot smaller. Those are the people who pay for AI. Nearly everyone else is happy to use it for free, but doesn't see enough value in it to pay for it.

    • Linux 7.1 arrives with an NTFS overhaul and major hardware performance boosts

      By [deXter] · Posted

      I think you meant the "ntfs3" driver, but yes there have been a lot of fixes for it in this release and previous releases, not 100% sure if the issue you mentioned is fixed though. In any case, the new "ntfs" driver in 7.1 doesn't have that issue (at least, no reports of such have come thru), but your kernel needs to explicitly enable support for the new driver first (like how CachyOS kernel has it), and you need to edit your mount points in /etc/fstab to use "ntfs" instead of the other drivers.
    • Epic Games says Unreal Engine 6 will help developers "build content faster" using AI models

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Epic Games says Unreal Engine 6 will help developers "build content faster" using AI models by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Epic Games is rolling out the latest major update to Unreal Engine 5 today, and at the same time, the company also dropped some information on the next-generation version of the product, Unreal Engine 6. This was already revealed a few weeks ago alongside the new Rocket League upgrade reveal. The company says it is combining the features of Unreal Engine and Unreal Editor for Fortnite to create this new version of its popular media creation tool. On top of creating entire games, the new engine will also focus on letting developers operate large-scale live service titles more easily, whether by shipping content into their own ecosystems or into Fortnite. The use of large language models is also mentioned here, with Epic saying it will be a core part of the engine. "We see LLMs, generative AI models, and tools like Claude and Codex playing a central role in helping you build content faster while maintaining the creative control you need," adds the company. Here is the rundown of what's new about version 6 of Unreal Engine: With all these changes to the programming model, portability upgrades, and generative AI integration, Epic says the new version of the engine will "change a lot about how games are made." The company aims to ship Unreal Engine 6 into early access in late 2027, with a full release planned for 12-18 months later. Epic Games also dropped a lengthy blog post about the new Unreal Engine 5.8 update for game developers over here. The release is focused on delivering better performance, customization, and streamlined workflows for development teams. This will be the final major update for this version of the engine before Epic switches to focus fully on Unreal Engine 6's early access launch.
