PSM2 info.....Skateboards!!!

[Vini]

Confirmed ones:

- Confirmed music tracks: Lil Louis - French Kiss, A Guy Called Gerald - Voodoo Ray, NWA - Express Yourself, and "that track from a seminal 90's grundge band" (I assume that's Nirvana).

- They said they drove from Los Santos to Las Venturas in 5 mins on a Wayfarer (bike with big luggage packs) using the freeway. The same journey would take half an hour cross-country.

- They are convinced that skateboards will be in the game

- You can control all of the planes in San Andreas including Private Jets.

- No more heart icons. Eating food is the only way to replenish your health

- When on a BMX you can bunny hop by holding down L1. The longer you hold it the further you jump.

Unconfirmed ones:

- You can also carry up to eight gang members with you on a bigger plane/helicopter

- They are pretty sure that there will be quad bike racing side missions

Skateboards!!!!!!!!!
How cool is that.

[TwistedArachnid]

I was more excited over the bunny hopping, the food for health, and the freeway can cut down travel time. R* has definately done their homework.

[ShockerZ]

"they are convinced"... just isnt enough for me, I wanna see a "there will be" or a pic...

[carl_andreas]

excitied bout skateboards? i think tony hawks games r more for u

[zer0 rag3]

I doubt there will be skateboarding...come on what gangster would board? that's tareded

[TwistedArachnid]

I dont think I believe it anyway, thats why I'm not excited about it...I take everything I hear with a pinch of salt...

[Napalmolive]

zer0 rag3 - So gangsters doesn´t skate, eh? Why? What more are they not supposed to do? Skate or die...

[KoPoDa]

yeh dude dont take it seriously it only says there convinced that isnt a yes is it

[TwistedArachnid]

zer0 rag3- Yeah dude thats kinda "stereo typing" don't ya think? Thats like the idiot who said "black people don't do karate"...why can't they?

I didn't say they can't I said have you ever seen a gangster skateboarding? I haven't.

[SiR_nIcK]

well that dosent mean they arent allowed to, does it?

That sounds like yer saying they can't and whats "tareded"?

[Arto]

hell yea skateboards, i hope you can at least do an ollie or somthin

[AndyHogg]

skating will be good, i hope you can only do crappy trick tho, its not THUG

[Arto]

yea but if you can at least do an ollie or a kickflip or somthin, would be cool

[OkComputer]

Bunny hopping is the coolest, i wanna go up mount chillaid and bunny hop off

[Mock]

Thats cool. I also heard the will be skateparks, but im not sure if its true.

[K-evin]

yeah, bunnyhop to fakie 180 to manual or wheelie ! how about that ?

[TJ_Tricky]

if theres skateboards there will be skate/bmx parks!

[antihero138]

I bet its just bikes but that would be cool if there were skateboards.
allthough i think it would be pretty hard for them to put it in the game.

and to the gangstas not skating crap ....clyde singlton,sal barbier,shean sheffy,and many others who aren't pro.

[Wu Zi Mu - 182]

id say the skate board will be used for a small transport method...and as for tricks....cj special: skate by shooting


im more excited about hearing that you can control all the planes

[Mock]

It would be cool if you can grind on rails and stuff.. but im not very excited about the whole skaboarding thing.

[Wu Zi Mu - 182]

hopefully you can ko someone with your board when it goes flying..... or just pick it up a twack them

[VashTheStampede_BR]

i think skateboards suck..simply cause they are too slow...

[TJ_Tricky]

i dont think people will use them if they wanna go long distances real fast, they would be more of a fun way to travel or just piss about on.

[Wu Zi Mu - 182]

yano at the start of the game you cant drive.... you need to get a licence....if you jack a car you wont be able to control it just like the guns... so bmxs and skateboards would be cool for goin around the neighbour hood...

[VashTheStampede_BR]

you dont have to have a license....its just to enhance your maneuvering skills

[AndyHogg]

i think as you get better on a skate board you should be able to ollie further and be able to grind longer(assuming you can grind)

[vercettiboy3]

i'd like a piece of cheese with wheels please

[Slim Trashman]

skateboards! yes! and finally there's not a random heart floating around to give you health. this is why eating is good. :D!

edit: they did have the eating to give you health in vice city but it wasn't like you got to see tommy eat it or anything. he just said like "come on! food!" and then the guy would be like "food for the gentleman" and your money would go down and your health would go up to 100.

[boggie]

I doubt there will be skateboarding...come on what gangster would board? that's tareded.

How bout kareem campbell and why would there be skate parks but no skate boards?

[Redelen]

im not a fan of skateborading personally i rather just use my bmx much more fun if u ask me...but i guess thats there opinon but i rather not see skatebords like some one said its not tony hawks

[Slim Trashman]

actually on the official site when you drag the mouse over east los santos i think it was it doesn't say skatepark anymore. and maybe kareem campbell will appear in the game.

[Sinfield]

Skateboards will be good, only if they don't take it too far and you can do kickflip mctwists and other skating humlaa.

[evil_tab]

Id just take the skate board and smash peoples faces in ;D

[Loto_02]

There's a difference between 'gangstas' and 'African-Americans'.....now THAT'S sterotyping.

[freezedryfun]

[Sinfield]

The only reason THUG was crap is because of the crap driving and it was slow, skateboards in SA without the tricks would be the bee's knees.

[Oby619]

great info buddy! although, yes, it would be wierd seeing gangsters skateboard. ....(what if you can drive by while skating lol)

[Vini]

who cares about the gangster or not, skating will be fun all the way, bmxing will be a lot of fun. But seeing gangsters in sandals... now that's tareded.:D

[fastfo0dguy]

haha i guess tarded is a new word now

[One]

black people and skateboarding = not unusual

hardcore coke selling gansters smokin a J with a gun on their waist...while riding on a skateboard = not very likely

i hope it IS in the game...but it's true not many really really thug dudes board

[Arachkid]

Been said, but the only reason I'd use it is to dish out the pain.

Well, I've never seen a 30 year old man in Florida riding a moped...but you know how that turned out: FUN.

--Zach

[zoso71]

lol u dont gotta dress and look like a skate punk to ride a board

[Slimshaded]

HALF OF U HAVEN'T SEEN A GANGSTA ON YOUR LIFE

(50 cent doesn't count)

[stewie]

grr not this again

[VashTheStampede_BR]

Another "you are not from the ghetto" debate...
oh my...
Unless you can do tricks like THUG, I think it's kinda pointless... or you can beat people with it. hehe

[Zach]

I think it's an awesome idea. Just adds to more stuff that we can do in SA. If you don't like it, then shut your mouth and don't complain, you don't have to skate.

--Zach

[VashTheStampede_BR]

Hum...come down...just my opinion. Unless you can do tricks, the skate will be pretty boring because of it's slow speed.

[Gen2]

I'm not going to skateboard, the thing I care most about this article is the every airplane is flyable thing. That makes me happy.

[Bladexen]

yeah i read that already but was to lazy to inform alll of u... \

off topic: VINI nice sig!

Nah dude it's cool, just stating what I think to all the "nay sayers" who are always like "OMFG NO SKATEBOARdASS!!!!!!!1111"

--Zach

[m00se]

I'd like it... make it faster than running, but slower than a bike/car/etc, and have it double as a weapon....:evil3:

[TheGTAKid]

im more concerned about the plain flyen thingy can we fly any plain we want????? if we could that would be sweet!

[Tomatoe]

in my opinion skatebaords in the game would be retarted
