Patch für Skate 2 in Vorbereitung

Die Fähigkeit vom Board abzusteigen und zu Fuß zu gehen sollte in Skate 2 eigentlich viele neue Möglichkeiten offenbaren. Leider blieb die Kontrolle der Figuren etwas auf der Strecke. Man hat irgendwie das Gefühl einen Panzer zu steuern, statt einem Menschen.

Wie man allerdings dem offiziellen Skate 2 Blog entnehmen kann steht ein Update bevor, welches genau dieses Problem beheben soll. Weiterhin werden Custom Soundtracks ab dem Update unterstützt, was bei einem Game dieses Genres durchaus sinnvoll ist. Der Patch soll bereits morgen zum Download bereit stehen.

Die komplette Changelog im Überblick:
