Skate 1 was great, so I have high expectations for this game. It's been given a release date of January 2009. Trailer: http://www.gametrailers.com/player/39565.html
now you can actually walk around which should help, because i hated going all the way around something just to do it, and I also like how you can move things around to combos and stuff.
Game's gonna be straight up hard-on giver. Xd I loved the first one, couldn't stop messing around with the physics and breaking bones. Hopefully they didn't eliminate any of that stuff, and maybe ad some more realism to the bone breaking. Woot woot for the Skate.
they probably both are like they were in the last one, its not like you get to use them, so they're probably both in there and give you some objectives to complete.
