TOKYO: The developer behind one of the best indie titles in 2014, Roll7 has released a trailer for the game’s sequel. OlliOlli 2 will feature many of the same mechanics as the original game in the series.
However, Roll7 will be refining many of those mechanics in this title. The biggest change is the shift away from pixel art.
Players of the original OlliOlli may be more excited for the addition of manuals and combos. This will allow players to show off their skills by chaining combos like pros. The introduction of combos has increased the potential score, so the developer has introduced a new section to the Heads Up Display (HUD). It will indicate the potential score that players will be able to get by landing the current combo on Perfect.
Those won’t be the only new features. OlliOlli 2 will include grind switches and epic tricks. Grind switches will allow skillful players to switch between two types of grinds. Epic tricks take longer to perform than normal ones. Players will have to fight for more air-time in order to pull them off. That air-time can be had by perfectly launching off curved ground, ramps and rails. OlliOlli 2 will also feature split routes that will only be accessible by performing those “perfect launches.” This sequel will also feature local multiplayer where four players will be able to go all out to become the winner. No release date for OlliOlli 2 has been announced, however it will be arriving on the PlayStation 4 and PS Vita consoles in 2015.
