Skate 2 Demo Next Week

January 04, 2009 in Demo comments 14

Even though Electronic Arts is going through tough times, they are still putting effort into establishing IP with their sequel to Skate. They announced that there is a new demo for Skate 2 that will be available two weeks before the game's release.

The release of Skate 2 is due at the end of the month and EA's giving you a two-week cushion for trying out the demo. It'll hit Xbox Live (and probably PSN) on Thursday, January 8th.

The release date was announced on Xbox.com along with a sweepstakes for Xbox Live users.

      Yea I know. I'm also a little curious how the trophies are going to be like. I mean are they going to make them unique or similar to Achievements. Hey, who knows a rent could be in process.

      It only has hype due to the first Skate game. Try the demo out in the store.

    I gotta get this. This is good news - which is rare these days. Considering Mr. Credit and Mrs. Crunch "got married"

    Probably going to get this. I had it (First Skate) on my 360 for a short period, and have the demo for it on PSN.

    Better get a demo for us PS3 owners

    PS Store didn't update last week. This should make up for it ^_~

    I didn't buy the first one, but I probably will, when it is cheaper. Ditto for this second one.

    BTW: The first Skate demo played better on the 360 than the PS3. Did the full game (Skate 1) play better than the demo version? DId patches or whatever, improve it?

    I hope there is other good stuff on the PS Store this week of course ;;

      I actually enjoyed the demo for the PS3 side. Idk how the full game played since I didn't get a chance to play it enough. But I heard lot of good things about it.

        Didn't say the PS3 demo wasn't good, I just know it didn't play as well as the 360 version.

        Maybe it was just the joystick locations, but the PS3 version seemed less responsive, and the character was more prone to wiping out.
