im just curious about how the scoring works

There are no points. You get rewarded when you do tricks clean, just like you would in real life.

So does that apply to the game of S.K.A.T.E? i hope they match the real life way of playing S.K.A.T.E, not like how THPS made it based on who gets more points, but make it so its about matching the same trick.

Seeing how this game is going to be realistic, it will probably be REAL games of S.K.A.T.E.

Once we're out skating, how does the points system work and does it tell the difference between slick style and some jerk manualing from point to point and going nuts?

Jay Balmer - The scoring system evolved out of the skating; how different people skate and encouraging the skating that feels and looks good. It starts with the obvious points for tricks. Then the points for measurements come in, so a kickflip down a big stair set is worth more than a kickflip on flat ground, and holding a tweaked grab is better than doing lots of grabs. Like a good skate video, it's about putting together stylish lines with big tricks. Landing something good gets you time to set-up your next trick and keep your line going. The better the trick the more time you get, plus a bonus on your next trick if you do it before the time runs out.[/

that just made me so happy haha this isnt gunna be like tony hawk at all and i couldnt be more excited about that

Yeah that's really awesome stuff. I can't freakin' wait for this game.

do you know if the more stairs you do will effect the points?
Kinda like a little multiplier going by how many stairs you did

"...so a kickflip down a big stair set is worth more than a kickflip on flat ground..."

it said it in the post i did

Yeah I like that idea with more credit over things.

for real like in thp8 when you kickflip over like a 50 stair set you still get like 100 points

ya im soo excited how the points work it is totally realistic
