RIP Big Black
Dude! I had no idea...Wtf. I don't know how I missed that. God damn! :(
Dude Big Black isnt dead... they put out one of the best records of the 90s... search: Big Black Songs About Fucking on youtube and youll hear some awesome rad music
Matthew Scott Steve Albini is God.
Why isnt big black in skate 3!
@@matthewscott5591 Big Black died 9th of May 2017 you dumb fuck
That GIRL game of skate is just stupid hard, but you can beat it pretty easy if you keep doing triple heel/kick flips with some spins. They bail those 95% of the time
a lot of these issues are only exclusive to the ps3 version, so if you are planning to play this game play the xbox 360 version
I cheated the S.k.a.t.e. game by placing an object behind the table, so they run into it every time, just make sure you make the jump and you'll land.
Skate 2 still holds up to this day
Retro_Jojo skate 3 doesn’t lol
@@RATTGANGSCOOTERING I just got the first skate and I like it more than 3
@@sanywolfer I've only played 1 and 3 but I'm trying to find a way to play 2 without a xbox 360 since mine recently broke (they need it for backwards compatibility for Xbox One)
@@MysticTaku yeah i'm still waiting
The Artificial Saiyan what about ps3? Might pick one up real cheap these days
I hated the koston and carrol pro challenge with all of my passion back in the day
Marcus Jackson little did 11 year old me know is that they can’t do any variation of the 540 or triple or quad kick/heel flips
Fucking same man . hardest challenge
With the rail and plywood hell fuck that
They can’t land any kind of triple flip variation. You’re welcome.
Jordan Flores youre 9 years late 😂😂😂😂
You can beat the game of s.k.a.t.e. with a glitch. Before starting the challenge go into the drainage ditch on your right, grab a metal barrier, drag it up top and put it in between the ramp and the original metal barrier. Koston and Carroll will wig out and bail on every turn. Fuck s.k.a.t.e.
Codgerism real shit I did that the first time then went back and beat them fair and square on my 2nd play through.
Oh wow, now I remember doing that!
if you land any 540 they cannot land it.
But you'll still have to wait for them to bail. Some of us just want to skip the s.k.a.t.e challenges entirely.
Codgerism; true! i have it on 360 so they do bail more....
Really wish they would release this series on pc. My ps3 doesn't even turn on anymore.
We desperately needed a Skate game on PC, but EA would never do it. If you're looking for a Skate-like fix on PC now try out Session. It's hard to adjust at first, but the more you play it, the more you'll appreciate the differences. Demo is available here on their kickstarter page: www.kickstarter.com/projects/100195109/session-skateboarding-simulation-game-by-crea-ture/
i've been playing it for a good while now.
Same here. I love pushing that little park to its limits. There's a surprising amount you can do in such a small area. Once they finish the whole game, it's going to be insane. I'm already dreaming of the custom mods the community is sure to come out with in the years to come.
He means on ps4
@@krich451 you mean on ps4
I admit, Skate 2 is a better skateboarding game, but I still got love for the first one
Skate 1 gave you the most freedom and was the most realistic.
@@flashfloodofcolour fuckin true >)
Yeah, THPS BITC- Walt what is that sound? “AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH” *gets bitchslapped”
yeah you can actually do a 900 on vert i believe in the first skate, but not any of the other skates. in those you need mega
Best soundtrack,played the community center demo for days.
It's a shame the filmer pack is no longer available for Skate 2. Skate 2 had the best ragdoll physics out of the whole series. I'm surprised you didn't touch on the Hall of Meat aspect as that was part of the fun with Skate 2.
Actually it still exist only in Europe and China
Damn the graphics still look so good for a game that's almost 10 years old. I love the golden light this game had to it, Skate 3 looked so bland in comparison
The security in the game is something i actually really like
Tip on how to beat the Koston and Carol challenge. Just keep doing a 540 into your trick. They will never land it
Also triple flips
Yes they won’t even try the same trick lol
thnks i am buying this soon and wanted to know bout that one
dude every bot doesn't know how to 540 anything from every skate
Grym yes you can.
Big blacks got your back!!! RIP!!
Better than 3 . Besides trick editor and dark slides and hard core mode
Honestly only the map is better. Everything else is superior in Skate 3. I wish there was a way to play Skate 3 is San Van. Everything in Skate 3 seems oversized. It's like the people who designed the map and the people who designed the skaters weren't working for the same company.
Tiramisu #1P4PGOAT what about lighting and frames
Tiramisu #1P4PGOAT Soundtrack is better and the graphics look more realistic in Skate 2, if you add all the new features from 3 into 2 it’s the far superior game
@@nikobellic3830 hopefully this is basically what happens with skate 4, but much improved visuals and more features, better physics, more modes beyond hardcore etc. hopefully ea doesnt pull an ea and just reskins skate 3
JayVader90 they would break skaters hearts everywhere if they do that, they’ve already been voted worst company in the US, twice in a row. This is there chance to prove they’re not this scummy corporation but then again it’s EA isn’t it ...
RIP BIG BLACK
There's a glitch u can do do beat the game of skate easy. U have to go down the spillway a bit and grab a bike rack and drag it back to the challenge area where u place it right in front of the other bike rack. You start the challenge and they always bail for some reason. It's a nifty trick
In my opinion skate 2 is the best game ever made, it feels alot more realistic compared to skate 3. The caracters looks more natural on their board and you can really understand how much they have worked on the motion of the caracters, also skate 2 have so more good spots compared to skate 3 in my opinion. And this comes from a non skater, thx.
You can't get a running start in Skate 2... Skate 3 does well with that!
Kinda wanna hybrid of all the skate games focusing on Skate 2's looser physics... Skate 3's tricks and NO FISH LENS!!! And all the maps from each game.
Fairfax Video - I like the way you think!
SlickRick4EVER: So do I... When my thinking isn't plagued with grime.
i am a skater and i completely agree
The Half-Cab directions were right when you played as a goofy skater, but if you do half-cabs as a regular skater, they're reversed. I figured they just couldn't decide between the historically correct way or the more modern used "same as nollie" way.
I️ think Skate 2 was the best overall. Story was fun, good gameplay. Street spots were solid, parks were fun and soundtrack was by far the best IMHO. It just seemed a little more grungy vs skate 3 seemed really bright and colorful and seemed more for little kids. Skate 3 had the dark slide which was a fun trick addition but overall I️ liked skate 2 the best. What do you guys think ? All of them were great skateboarding games I like them better than THPS games
southsideshenanigans skate 3 seemed rushed as the textures had no detail, making them look more colorful or cartoonie. Skate 2 had tons of detail that made it feel like a lived in city,much more realistic to me.
@@poodudeelite That's how I've always felt about THPS 3 and 4. I know that's Holy ground for some people but they never lived up to 2 to me, which I still play to this day.
Ah, yes, the best game I've never got a chance to play... until it became backwards compatible on Xbox
You have to do 540s in the game of skate against koston and carroll. Just do a footplant as you land a 360 and they'll never land the 540.
dont let them get to you, never give in. They want you to doubt yourself #regularskaterights
NPCs can't do triples or 540s lol and the rail and ledge caps were a fun thing to film so Its nice to mix things up
I think the best way to beat the skate challenges was by altering the ramp in a way that made the AI always bail and beat the challange.
There’s actually a way to beat carrol and koston just search up the challenge on YT and there’s a way to make them bail every time
the Koston and Carrol one is just a plain unfair challenge and almost everyone (including myself) just opted to cheating that one so that the CPU always bails.
The liptrick basketball hoop one is broken too. The spot you have to hit is extremely small and precise and because the thing glitches out a bit from distances, it's not worth doing it legit. THAT one i DID do legit. It sucked.
I honestly do find this game to be the best on the SKATE series with Skate 1 at 2nd place. Skate 3 was a broken mess for me and Skate It just plain sucked. But best skating game of all time? ...i prefer the fun and ridiculousness of the Tony Hawk games more than SKATE, as the SKATE series was just less enjoyable for me and definitely seemed like only people who want the "most realistic skating experience ever" and just want to skate around for hours, doing tricks and such without any goals or anything, would enjoy this more, since after completing this game 100%, i haven't touched it in years because there was really nothing else for me to do, the whole filming thing got very boring and online was impossible for me at the time and sort of still is nowadays (hurray for australian internet and dead servers). I like it, but i stick by the notion that if i want the "true skateboarding experience", i'd grab my board and skate for real, because if this went full on with the simulation, the dam jump and Danny Way challenges would be impossible as your skater should be basically dead after even attempting to land it and some of those challenges.
The backboard phototshoot is the worst mission
Great review as always! I always did nollie triple heel variations against Koston and Carroll in my playthroughs haha. Made it very easy 😅 but I had the same struggle the first time
G-Web thanks man! 😄
:D
i allways did 540z ^.^ workz too
If skate 2 had hardcore mode id never play 3.
for real because the hardcore mode is kind of bettern since everything is more heavier feeling like the air you get is less etc oh my goodness ill never look at skate 3 again bro
The original SKATE will always be my favourite.
Are you sure you can't get on Krooked? I don't remember that. But I agree Skate 1 was the most significant of all 3. The first game in a series always has the most heart and soul put into it. And it had the best soundtrack too, by far. They did such a legit job representing Skateboarding culture in a videogame, and I sometimes feel like that fact is underappreciated among skaters today.
I would agree if you could have just got off your board lol. I hated being stuck at the bottom of stairs or something and attempting to find a way up 😂 story wise tho I think it was the best. And the sponsor system was best too imo
the original skate's gameplay was the best. It felt a lot more real and raw. Skate 2 felt too easy, and skate 3 had awful gameplay (could barely skate rails, especially on hardcore). If skate 1 had an off-board feature, I wouldn't play any other skate game. I don't see how hard it could be to update that feature in. Or maybe if it was on PC it could be modded? Either way, original skate is the best.
Gonz! Case closed lol
alZiiHardstylez Original skate is boring because you can't get off your board and a lot of missions are hard
wtf? the invert on the back board took me just 10 min.. damn
I have played so much of this game I never want to lay eyes on it again in my life. It definitely is my favorite skateboarding game ever, but after playing over, god, it has to be at least a thousand hours, I am done with it for the rest of my life.
Edit:
The best way to beat ANY pro at a game of skate in these games is just to do 540s. They can't do them, at all, and they will do shit that is not even close to what you did, and miss every time.
Holy smokes I've never beaten the notification squad without notifications on before
Skate 2 best skate game ever
Skater Xl and Session: Best skate game so FAR
imho the skate 2 parks&city + the skate3 engine would be the best skate-video game
shaft9000 and skate 1 soundtrack
Then take out all the security guard and stop block crap.
I think the guards and skate stoppers made the game better
unclebruncle hell yeah
Never clicked on a video so fast
I beat the game of skate by doing 360 shuv 540's and 540 triple kickflips and some really unrealistic spin combos. Once you spin 540, it seemed like the AI just gave up for the most part.
Blake Arnold same! I used to do either triples or 360 ollies late 180 footplants on flat lol
On the Xbox they did an update that changed the Koston and Carroll challenge so you start setting the trick. I think it also made it easier for them to bail. It's hard to beat it legitimately but not impossible. They can't land any kind of triple flips and usually can't do 540s. Other than that you just have to get lucky.
First time I actually beat it Carroll says something along the lines of "best two out of three" so I pressed A thinking I had to do another round but it actually just retried the challenge. I lost the second round so I had to win all over again.
if you don't put the quarter directly beneath the backboard I found the invert challenge much easier.
The need to remaster it
SV DAMN SON
In my opinion I love this game and have so many fun memories from this game
So you're not doing Tony Hawk's Proving Ground?
The worst game ever😂😂
Hell FrogSixtyNine You are really stupid
Are you going to get around to Proving Ground anytime soon?
-AK- pretty sure he did all of the thps
Chris Lockhart
You sure he did Proving Ground?
nah american wasteland is miles better as i would get multi millions online against hackers that would rage because they still cant win
BroToPro
He already did thaw, it's my favorite one as well. I just want his thoughts on Proving Ground.
My favourite person on UA-cam! Thank you for the consistently good content man.
Or not knowing where to Ollie At The dam I thought that was the dumbest thing I've heard about this game
2 was the best skate game hands down by the way. Made 3 feel stiff and bulky and the bail system was tight. You can also do a quick 180 then set up switch and the character actually looked like he was skating switch, counted as nollie I think but who cares. that game would be the soul reason for buying a xbox360 today
GABERS 237 *sole
Sole soul reason*
Also, stoked as hell you shouted out ValleyBoy at the end! That first clip with the bonk was beautiful!! If you want to watch a definitive full length video of Skate 2 I would definitely recommend ABD by BKS which is a favorite of many. It's insane how smooth and real they made it look. Also, I wanted to note that with the filming and key frames people often make the camera glitch when filming in order to make it look a certain way. I'll link a video with this comment to explain how it's done, but people often make the camera go under the lowest allowed mm of 24 to somewhere in between 19-10 mm most of the time while also being able to make a long lens that goes way over the allowed 75 mm to 200-300 mm and beyond. Here's one way of doing it: ua-cam.com/video/XXd_bHS3uOc/v-deo.html&playnext=1&list=PL21CAC02369F62453
Ryan Portwood It's actually crazy how immersed everyone got into the filming of it. I actually had a team called Illusion and I had fun filming and editing for that for a few years.
Ryan Portwood I also used to run a website where I made a list of every major teams full length videos and graphics too.
I got stuck on that same game of skate, but there was a glitch where they would bail on any 540 trick
What’s weird is the game of skate against Koston and Carrol, you go first on the Xbox 360 but last on the PS3
im disapointed about skate 3 :/
in 2019 i can savely say that skate 1 is my favorite but skate 2 is very close i dont think also that it is too far off skate 1 but it different but as good as 1 tho >)
I love 1 most too :)) I rank them in the order they came out and 2 is very very close to 1 :))
@@NameInsertedHere :D
My friends and I were always so high when we played this...don’t remember if anyone actually landed any tricks.
Unless you finish the death races you didnt beat the game
So let’s get this straight... in the beginning of the game you are released from jail sentenced for skating that huge Dam. In the end of the game you go BACK there and literally film and take photos of yourself there again and after literally draining an entire dam.... makes sense.
wasn't gonna sub, but you mentioned Kerr/Valleyboy so I had to.
Damn I want to play this game so bad, but I dont have a ps3 or 4, a decent enough computer to emulate it, or enough money to buy any of those things ;-;
Skate - Cam physics are a little bad but is an amazing game.
Skate 2 - Awesome game 10/10
Skate 3 - wacky and buggy physics, horrible graphics, and ugly animations. Good game tho
With the S.K.A.T.E. challenge, i do a judo to add an extra spin and they will never complete it
I didn't have trouble with these whatsoever and enjoyed like 95% of the challenges..
Bro, this entire review makes this game sound straight up awful and super annoying 😂
I love having the sercurity option on. When running away from them, it feels like playing the game of "cat and mouse" with them.
The thing i like the most about skate 2 was that you needed to call this characters to come help you for exaple drain pools and stuff, I wanted that in skate 3 so bad🤣
As silly as the mega parks were, I thought they were Super fun
also there's a glitch with the game of skate where if u skate far enough away that it needs to load to return to the table jump thing an extra metal barrier will spawn in causing your opponents to not even attempt the jump.
Yeah Valley! Fluckit represent!
Skate 2 is hands down the greatest skateboarding game ever made
wish you covered hall of meat, it was such a cool part!
Skate 2 is the best, clearly better than skate 3 for sure.
Definitely my favourite skate game
I just looked at your review ... I bought this game when it came out on the xbox 360 and now it's backward compatible on the Xbox One. Today I'm starting to play career again. Although games like Skater XL have been released, Skate2 is the best skateboard game - the best career, challenges and lots of fun.
By the way: I made the basketball hoop challenge very quickly. The most difficult task for me was Vert with Vampire - jump up to window.
So much nostalgia. I've gone through my career about 20 times and I still enjoy it over and over again.
I beat the game by skate by cheating and I beat the handplant one legitimately through 2 hours of grinding
Skate 1+2 remaster then possibly a Skate 4 reveal
To win the Mike Caroll & Koston game of skate you gotta do double/tripple tricks when its your turn, they will all bail.
I found an easy way to beat the Carroll and Koston challenge was to do triple flip tricks. They bail every time
Or 540s
lol you missed the way to cheat the game of skate too
I made a challenge from this video. Named it after you. Hope you dont mind.
Why do “nerdy” dudes always make female characters?
its the best skate until the new one hopefully
FINALLY
Can you review Airblade?
Deasonfun yes
you remind me of gabe from the office lol
Ayo its gabe from the office
I think it would be cool if you did a video / series similar to shred school, but from the angle of helping 25+ year olds re-learn when there getting back into it. Maybe go over tricks, or environments, what will be different than you remember, or specific approaches for those of us less limber.
Would it be possible to hack skate 3 online and skate stop the whole place
"Best game ever," ten minutes listing everything about it that sucks
Session is the greatest skate sim in the world, learning to play and skate is the closet thing virtually to feel like actual skating. It's early access on steam and I'd say anyone who skates would enjoy it. It's not a tricklining game, it's a skate sim. Putting on some tunes at night and skating the Brooklyn banks is so cathartic
Radrat I know it’s far removed now but for the skate challenge you can use the same trick used in Skate 1.
Triple Flips and 540’s the AI cannot do and I they just bug out.
Wow... this was dope.
Can confirm. Is the best skate game to date.
RIP big black!
imagine being so bad at the game you just hate on it LMAO
buddy really thought he could 540 the dam and land on flat and survive cmon now be smart
5:11 AHAHA OMG the way he said reason was hilarious
I love these reviews and i found myself binging all of them, but *why the FUCK are the captions always turning on*
Here’s A Little Trivia For You: Skate It On Wii & This Game Introduces The Low & High Camera Settings, Not Skate 3.
Skate 4 Hype
I just bought it for $18 for Xbox.
Problem is I need Wi-Fi to install it.
Anyway, I had this game a few years ago on ps3 and barely touched it.
I tried playing skate 1 and 3 too.
I never got into skate. It wasn’t until earlier this week that I finally forced myself to play skate 1 and actually learn how to do the tricks.
After doing two play throughs and starting a 3rd play through I decided to run to the game store to see if they had Skate 2.
I feel like I am going to enjoy skate 2 now that I am competent with the controls. I learnt a lot from skate 1. Like big black. I knew about him but didn’t know he was in the game. I googled to see if I could unlock his character and was disappointed to learn he’s only playable in Skate 2. Anyway I didn’t know Rob skated for DC. or maybe I knew but I didn’t know he started in 1995 or know much about DC other than it’s a popular brand. I didn’t know DC was co founded by Ken Block.
I didn’t know terry kennedy was arrested for murder and then acquitted.
I heard there was another skater in skate that killed someone.
Anyway about your review I think when reviewing games like skate you have to have a lot of patience. For me I sucked ass on my first play through. Years ago I didn’t even bother trying to beat the game I would just skate around and get hit by cars. But now that I finally beat skate 1 I decided to replay it and since I already was familiar with the objectives I was able to really enjoy the experience. I was beating challenges with ease. Hell I even made the challenges harder by redoing them if I didn’t do the trick I wanted and even when I did I would redo it for a better photo. Now that I’m on my 3rd play though I even showboating with the emotes. 👍 👍.
Oh another thing on each of my playthroughs I changed the board tuning. So far soft and loose is my favorite. It seems to make the skating much faster
Rad Rat do Rocket Power Beach Bandits on the ps2, gamecube, or xbox after the skate series!!!
GOAT skateboarding game, the final mission was really underwhelming though
8:58
I feel like the only person that barely had any trouble with this challenge. Basically what I did was sort of an exploit, I don't know if anyone else knows this. What I did was basically hit the lightly tapped the handplant button as I was going up the quarter pipe, and that sort of helps with your alignment, soon as I got up the hoop I was able to handplant with no issue. I'm probably not the only one that did this but just a tip if anyone replays this game and that challenge.
Let me know if it worked.
You skate man? Awesome. I like the concept of reviewing all skateboarding games ever made.
