Last year's Tony Hawk's American Wasteland was not a bad game by any means but it ended up feeling like every game that came before it. Sure, they added a bike and allowed you to pop tricks through the "loading tunnels" but it was still the same familiar gameplay and environments. After seven titles, even changing a great concept is a smart thing to do, and Neversoft has done just that.
For the past few years, players have been handed every skateboarding stereotype ever coined up. The last couple of Tony Hawk games were all oversaturated with over-the-top skate culture antics. Neversoft finally pulled the plug on all of that with Project 8 and brought it back the basics -- skateboarding. Sorry Bam fans, but skateboarding is more fun on a board rather than in a shopping cart.
Full Circle’s new Skate The Board Room episode promises only the best threads and customization, without the need to spend any cash.
The time to play the new Skate game on PS5 and Xbox is approaching, as Full Circle confirms console testing will be arriving next year.
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
