disagree here.fifa08 is the better choice this time around.
there's no point in denying it,seabass tsukasa even said it.
believe me,i am a hardcore pro evo fan,but i must say the guys
at ea pulled off something unexpected and upped their game.and
according to reports fifa09 could be even better.as a football
fan i pick up both copies,and yeah,i was shocked at how long it takes
to get pro evo over here(already got an eu copy),but fifa is getting verty much better.konami should redesign their engine completely to
show real improvements.

Ive heard from many people that proevo wasnt as good this year compared to fifa. I have never played proevo but really wanted to buy it also, already have fifa, but i guess Ive decided to get it because it has international cups in which I cant find a way to play it on fifa unless I create one. Everything on fifa is league cups which should be wider. I need some argentina vs italy games. I love football either way so this will be an add to my football games, dont mind really which one is better as long as i can get some things on it that arent on fifa.

you should try pro evo.one thing that it has always been better at has been customization.get it.gameplay wise it had been the better choice before fifa08.it may lack the licenses and all but it should be easy for you to download custom made saves/patches that will fix this.i hope next time they really get it right.

These guys are pretty cringe. Also the look of the new skate looks boring compared to games like Skater XL and Sessions. I'm not a fan of the arcade skate Sims

It won't be pay-to-win and none of the map will be behind a paywall.

I mean it could work. They could easily sell branded cosmetics which could pull in quite a bit of money if done right, but I can't say I'm not a bit disappointed. I'll try it cause I really like the series, but it'll suck if this fails cause I really like the series lol

If done right they can do it like how Minecraft has done it for years and people don't have an issue with how MC does it. I wanna hate on EA just as much as the next guy, but I'll wait until after they ruin Skate to have a negative opinion on it.

So it'll be released with half of the content and tons of bugs but that's okay as it's a live service game... while it's profitable then they'll drop it like an aborted foetus a few months later when everyone loses interest.

Why can't they just release a single player game with an online mode? Now when this game inevitably ends its service, it'll mean no more new Skate - a game which people have been waiting for for years. At least with an online mode, people would still have a single player game to enjoy when the online servers were shut down.

That would make too much sense. These greedy devs have gone all in on GAAS LIVE SERVICE trash that is thrown together with bare minimum effort for max profits. Thank goodness some devs still believe in making a proper offline SP campaign driven game. If people band together and reject this trash for what it is then maybe devs will stop pushing this. One can hope.

I should have known not to get my hopes up. It’s my own fault. They’re talking about things like ‘community’ and ‘years of support’, but all I want is just a good SP career mode and a fun gorgeous city to skate around in. I have zero interest in sharing some online city with dozens or hundreds of other players, probably filled with ads and branded gear.

Again, this is on me. It’s EA. I should have known better.

I see that GaaS and microtransactions is getting the typical knee-jerk reaction here, but this really makes sense for what the franchise is.

Pay to win should not exist as long as the design is based on the previous games. I. E. Nothing you gained through progression had any effect on gameplay. Everything was always only cosmetic.

My main worrie is that the game will get flooded with silly over the top cosmetics (i. E. Fortnite) to encourage people to spend. Which would take me personally out of the experience, at least When interacting with online play.

Skate as a concept always felt like a service game more than anything. Sure the "career" mode was fun, but what made the game great was When you Just played it. Explored the map, found original spots, interesting lines, tried for hours to get that Elusive hippie flip.

This is not the same as "skull & bones" the story was never the main appeal of the games, it was the gameplay.

The stuff that made the game great never needed online MP, micro-transactions, in-game ads/product placements, etc.

The stuff they’re adding/changing right now would, for me at least, deteriorate the game.

RabbitFly656d ago

Microtransactions is the consequence of trying to uphold a live service. It Just is. Unless you want to go with a subscription model. Which I would argue would be suicide for skate om todays climate.

It might not work out. I am Just saying as a game going GaaS Skate is one of those that makes sense. They still have a high probability to mess it up.

I never played skate much online, but I always thought it needed better and more online features, not less. Most of my time in the original was spent passing the controller back and forth. Which was Nice, but I am sure some of those great moments could have been done online with less hassle.

Yi-Long656d ago

If you think of Skate as a game to play with other people, it makes sense.

Personally, I don’t really care about any MP component in Skate, so this all feels like the wrong direction. I’m only here for the SP experience, and it seems that will take a backseat.

Hopefully this means they can get this shipped sooner than later and add more or everything later on. Dying for a new Skate game, XL is too buggy on console and has 2 good maps

Kosic657d ago

Looks very much the same we got from skate 3, not sure how I'd like the control scheme if they don't mix it up. Skater XL felt really fun due to the challenge of control but felt bland from the map and lack of AI.

I'd check it out but currently do not have much excitement for it.

Oh dear God. Why does every AAA game need to be live service. Don't get me wrong there are some examples of live service/monetization actually being successful. Destiny 2, R6 Siege, Apex Legends, Warzone, Warframe, Rocket League, Ark Survival, CSGO, Genshin Impact, FFXIV, even Fortnite (yuck).

However there are examples when live service and monetization goes HORRIBLY WRONG. Madden, Fifa, Diablo Immortal, Gran Turismo 7, GTA Online, Star Wars Battlefront 2 , Halo Infinite MP, BF2042, and so on.

I'm extremely cautious and skeptical of this.
