Push Across the Flat Bottom
by NicHas anyone seen the half pipe gameplay footy for EA’s new game SKATE?
I dunno about you guys but it reminds me of a kid who’s just learning to skate tranny, only this kid can throw massive hammer maneuvers. He’s way too floaty, stays on the coping forever, and there’s no bending of the knee bones. Oh yeah, and pushing across the flat bottom!!? WTFOMGROFLOLZ!!!!!!!!!!!
I know I sound like a hater ass hater, and you must be wondering what kind of uber nerd would critique a video game about skateboarding… I just want it to be the best damn skateboarding game ever!
So what does everyone else think?

I hope this game gets rid of that trick linking combo shit they have in Tony Hawk (cuz I suck at video games). I just wanna roll around and do tricks here and there.

July 16, 2007 at 11:59 amI agree, it is a little ridiculous that he pushes in the flat bottom. Look at this link. http://www.gametrailers.com/player/usermovies/80183.html It shows someone new to the game actually playing and has some nice bails and sketchy landings. I don’t really think it looks floaty and hopefully it doesn’t feel floaty when it is released.
