Video for SKATE’s Controls

Here’s a new video for the upcoming Tony Hawk competitor, SKATE. The video basically has the associate producer of the game, Jay Balmer, giving a demonstration of how the new “flickit” control scheme will work in the game. Essentially, each part of your body that you would use skating is mapped to its own button or joystick. It should take some getting used to, as most people are used to the standard Tony Hawk-style controls that have become commonplace in skating games. Still, it’s nice to see someone doing something really innovative.
