SKATE online-mode

[jMk1987]

Hi guys,

I would like to ask a question to the lucky guys who already have their copy of skate for PS3.

How is the online-mode structured? can you play against players all around the world or only against players in the US? can you choose on which server you wann play (like in the tony hawk - series)?

Thank you for your answers ;)

Yo it comes out Tuesday, the 25th. You will find that out soon when you get the game. If you like skating games, definately a must buy. Anyway, happy first post! Welcome to the site, you'll get to know many of us (unfortunately) so feel free to ask anything and we'd be happy to help you out.

Oh, I forgot to introduce myself. I'm jMk1987 ;)

I want to apologize for my bad English, but I'm from Europe and there is the point in my question. I like US-versions and I would like to play the US-version from SKATE in Europe. So I had to ask myself if I will be able to play against US- and European gamers with the US-version of SKATE, u know?! Sounds complicated... I know :)

Could you please report, if it is possible to play the game in online-mode worldwide?

Thank you :)

Yes, well so far for the Xbox 360 it is worldwide. It should be the same for the Playstation 3 unless they decide to change it for some reason. Now you can get online with about 4 friends and just skate in the park with headset capabilites. You can upload your own videos to the network and have other review it and rate it. Other game modes so far is unknown with me. Reviewers said lag and large crowds are big problems. All game modes aren't completely sure with me, but what i've said so far is sure. Hope I helped some, happy skating!

That sounds cool. Thank you for your specific answer

Will you get the game for PS3? I need someone who can test the online-mode for me, because I don't want to buy the game until I know that it's playable wordlwide. That sounds crazy, I know. Or do you know someone who will get the game for PS3?

Ok, could you please tell me about the online-mode and his functions, when you got your copy of SKATE?

Thank you very much BluePacific.

I got only two more questions:

1. Is it possible to play the game in online-mode worldwide? so can you play against other players who are not from the US? I know it's hard to find out, because the game is not yet released in Europe for example. But what would you say: does the game looks like it is playable worldwide?

2. Is there blood in the game? The ESRB-Rating says "yes", the Demo says definitely "no".

cheers,
jMk

They need to improve on the live chat servers. Captain Planet couldn't always hear me due to cutting out. There's not much lag. I just need to practice more. haha.

Whoever wants to play online just add me to your list.

There is lag, sometimes it begins to go in slow motion when it gets really bad. The other thing that is a tad bit annoying, is that it starts you over when another person is joining.

Yesterday, I was doing a good looking line about to go into the second grind when Roach joins and my guy stops in the air and was put back on the ground. Haha, I was like, "oooookkkkkk".
