EA has announced that the previously nebulous "January" release for Skate 2 has been narrowed to a solid January 21, 2009 release for North America with a worldwide release to follow on January 23. The company also announced that it will be releasing a new Graphics Creator web application in December that will allow users to create custom designs for in-game clothing used in Skate 2 (you mean VelocityGirl's dream is finally a reality?). Finally, EA announced that those who pre-order the game will receive an exclusive Throwback Pack which includes "retro clothing, accessories and gestures." We'll take the Skate or Die T-shirt, EA, but you can keep the tie-ye, mkay?

this game is gonna be AWESOME!

agreed! this game will rock. this and Street Fighter IV will be what my Christmas money gets spent on.

Does anyone know yet if there will be a simple free roam mode online. Maybe I'm an idiot, but from what I understood of my experience with the first game, you could free skate, but you were still limited to certain sections of town. If there is in fact a true free roam mode over live, this will be a buy for sure, since that's the only reason I never bought the first one.

If you unlocked all the areas of the city in single player, there will be a choice online to skate in the entire city map. Indoor parks and warehouses still are separate.

I think that's how you get it cause I have that choice..
