Goddammit!
This series is getting more and more like Tony Hawk with every new installment (after part 2 of course)!
Being able to bail out of a trick is realistic, but extending your bail is lame. I hope they don't force stupid bail mini-games on players in order to progress.

This really seems like a departure from Skate's original goal: realism. Obviously they're doing this because the crash videos are so viral, and it helps sell the game. I think the "hall of meat" would be a lot better with more realistic, rather than less realistic physics.

Wonky physics aside, some of these crashes hurt to watch. :P Ouch.

Anyone notice how the head doesn't flip back or forth during a head collision like Skate 1 and 2 did? Now it's stiffer then a board and it's looking like you drop a barbie doll on it's head.

That looks fun as hell. For those complaining about the wonkiness of it all, consider the target audience of "hall of meat". It's not about realism, fidelity of physics or even your own sense of how it should be.

It's all about throwing a player controlled character into some of the most painful looking bails known to man, racking up points and broken bones. Fuck the haters. If you want realism, this game has it for you too, called hardcore mode..

Just watched the video. Yes, the ability to extend your jump looks incredibly bad and stupid. Way to take all the fun out that Euphoria brought in. Why use great realtime physics like Euphoria when you can have clumsy, badly animated, unresponsive shit that doesn't look fun in any way?

It appears once again, that a genuinely excellent game is going by the way of having to rehash itself every year and introducing more gimmicks. I mean seriously, the character models look *exactly* the same as the last version, as do the physics. I'll save my cash thanks.

The one thing that was fun about crashing in Skate/Skate2 was that the horrible Hall of Meat worthy crashes were completely dependent on the physics and whatever you were crashing off of. The randomness is what made this so fun, and is what made the videos (specifically Goonskate) so much fun to watch.

It almost always sucks when something like this becomes self-aware. Like pyide says below, this looks like Burnout's Showtime mode. It's pretty silly and really stupid looking. I hope it isn't required to progress in the game.

It looks like this is entirely optional, and you can not touch anything after hitting the bail button to get the old Skate 1/2 bail physics. If that's the case, then this looks fine and could be pretty hilariously fun every once in a while.

Yeah very exciting. The hall of meat spots in Skate 2 were poorly chosen, boring and uneventful. I found several better spots in story mode. Hope it is better this time around.
