Me too. Opinions may differ, but I wish I didn't have to buy the better one. The free one should have been the master skate park. Oh, well.
In slow motion mode, truecredits, lines and points do not show on the screen. In regular motion they do. Is this intentional?
I found a very similar bug to the old black board bug. If you slide your finger slowly from the nose to the top corner of the screen your board can spin uncontrollably and then boost you out into the atmosphere of the game. You'll be stuck waaaaay up in the sky and can see the whole level. This is much easier to do in the really close view and when you are stationary. It can also be done while grinding or in the air, but not moving is the easiest.
If you can get some airtime and slowly slide your finger from your nose to the top corner it will spin your board incredibly fast. You can easily do 720 spins this way.
They way we fixed this bug was totally broken. We fixed some important things related to it, then totally screwed up in the bit related to fixing the disappearing to a black screen, then totally screwed up in another way to hide the fact that we didn't properly fix it. I had the flu pretty bad when I was coding the fix. Still recovering. We are currently waiting for apple to approve the next update which is just to fix this one issue.
Sorry to hear about the flu! I'm not too worried about this bug as its rather hard to do, and it doesn't permanently make your board black!
True Skate 1.0.6 is approved now, so this bug should be fixed now. This was also affecting the swipe direction detection at the bottom of the screen in fish eye mode in version 1.0.5, so it is a good fix to get if you use those cameras. Nothing else should have changed though.
Yes it is normal if you are using an older version of iOS. Until iOS6 there wasn't a special permission for accessing the photo roll and because photos can have some location tagging in them, True Skate requires permission to have access to location data to access your photos. That location data isn't used by the game, but because it's available the permission is required. In iOS6 there is a permission that is specific for accessing photos from the camera roll which is used instead.
Awesome glitch Guys i found this really cool glitch. In the inbound skate park. If you are really good at the half-pipe you can get really fast and high. If your skate board touches the roof of the park, you can start skating on it even though the roof is invisible. http://imageshack.us/a/img22/1337/photomar25162726.jpg http://imageshack.us/a/img46/3707/photomar25162717.jpg http://imageshack.us/a/img90/8277/photomar25162824.jpg
For the first week after release, my inbox was full of these kinds of screen shots, and I still get the occasional one.
Cool! It has a 5 Star rating... based of 5 reviews since the last update. I am sure it will drop back down to 4 in a while. True Skate has been constantly charting the best in Australia, which is pretty cool for us. It was the number 1 iPad game here for a little while but couldn't knock off bad piggies on iPhone.
This reminds me of skate. by EA on the consoles. I have not played a skating game for ages, but I might check this out. Good luck with the bugfixes, guys.
