Yet again EA Skate 2 is looking better and better each time one of these videos is released!
This video features a chat regarding Online play in Skate 2 and reveals the following tit-bits of information:
1. You can start an online “freeskate” session where ever you want. Pause the game – start the freeskate and find people to skate with. Sounds cool.
2. You will be able to create your own “own the spot” areas by dragging items in and setting scores and points. You can then share your area online for others to download and play.
3. There will be a “hurt yourself the most” mode where you compete to cause as much damage to your bodies as you hurl yourself off a high ledge into traffic. This part is a bit Tony Hawk Project 8 for my liking – but could be fun.
4. There will be the usual “S-K-A-T-E” online battles where you compete to match tricks against other online players.
5. There will be a mode where you can make a run against another player and then others can vote for who wins based on the best line and tricks rather than the highest score.
Skate 2 looks incredible and is out 21st Jan 2009.
I can’t wait!
