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.

    • Microsoft updates Visual Studio Code with easier language model discovery and in-app search

      By zikalify · Posted

      Microsoft updates Visual Studio Code with easier language model discovery and in-app search by Paul Hill Microsoft has released Visual Studio Code 1.125, its latest weekly release. This week, the company has focused on discovering and installing extra language models via the Marketplace; searching the web and securely browsing over remote connections without leaving VS Code; choosing how long VS Code waits before installing extension updates; and delivering managed Copilot settings through existing device management tooling. In older versions of VS Code, extensions could contribute their own model providers, but to find these extensions, you needed the right tags to search for in the Extension view. Now, the Language Models editor gives you an Install Model Providers button that opens the Extensions view, which is filtered to extensions that contribute model providers, making it easier to find and install them. Once you install a provider, its model will appear in the model picker. If you use the integrated browser much, you can now look up information without leaving VS Code by typing a query into the integrated browser’s address bar. It will use your configured search engine, the same way a standalone browser does. You can use workbench.browser.searchEngine to pick a search engine. When the browser is opened in a remote workspace, it's now possible to proxy HTTP(S) traffic via the remote connection. This allows you to connect to any ports or services that can only be accessed from the remote machine. If you read our coverage from two weeks ago about VS Code 1.123, you might have seen that extension updates have a two-hour delay as a safety measure. In this update, Microsoft is giving you the ability to configure the time of the delay. You can find it under extensions.autoUpdateDelay. Finally, with this update, admins can deliver managed GitHub Copilot settings through native device management (MDM) channels on Windows and macOS, in addition to account-based enterprise settings files. Settings delivered via MDM appear as policy-enforced in VS Code and can’t be overridden locally. Future updates will extend the supported policy keys across Copilot surfaces. You can download the update from the Visual Studio Code website now.
    • Microsoft will finally let you sign in to Edge with a Google account

      "it opens up new doors for people who prefer using Edge, but cannot be bothered to configure a Microsoft account" You already have a Microsoft account if you are using Windows 11, because you can't set it up without one.
    • This is how much iPhone 18 Pro could cost after Apple's price hike confirmed

      By Hamid Ganji · Posted

      This is how much iPhone 18 Pro could cost after Apple's price hike confirmed by Hamid Ganji Image via Apple Apple CEO Tim Cook confirmed in a recent interview that the company may have to raise prices on some of its products due to the ongoing memory shortage. While he did not elaborate on the scale of the price hikes, new estimates suggest that Pro iPhone models could become significantly more expensive this fall. The Wall Street Journal and research firm TechInsights have come up with an educated estimate of how much the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro could cost after its launch in September. The estimate is based on current increases in memory and storage chip prices. For starters, the iPhone 18 Pro base model is expected to feature 12GB of RAM and 256GB of internal storage. According to TechInsights estimates, 12GB of DRAM for the iPhone 17 Pro cost Apple $39 last year. However, for the iPhone 18 Pro, the cost of the same amount of DRAM could soar to $145. Likewise, 256GB of flash storage that previously cost $13 could now cost around $51. Producing a base iPhone 17 Pro reportedly cost Apple around $582, but TechInsights estimates that the production cost of the iPhone 18 Pro could rise to $726. If Apple wants to maintain the roughly 47% profit margin it enjoys on the iPhone 17 Pro, the base price of the iPhone 18 Pro would need to reach $1,371. After standard pricing adjustments, customers could end up paying around $1,299 for the base model. However, that may not be the end of the story. As we previously reported, the iPhone 18 Pro is said to feature a variable-aperture lens, which could cost Apple at least 50% more than the current camera system. The estimated $1,299 price tag does not include the additional cost of this upgraded camera hardware. Once that expense is factored in, the base model could cost at least $1,399. A $1,399 price tag for the base iPhone 18 Pro would represent a significant increase over the current $1,099 starting price of the iPhone 17 Pro. If Apple wants to keep its upcoming iPhones competitive, it may need to accept lower profit margins.
