Corey of GoodGameBro writes, "Recently, news broke that Activision and Tony Hawk are teaming back up to bring out a new title – presumably on Microsoft and Sony’s new consoles.

I take a look at how Tony Hawk can return to glory in the video game world and the potential return from EA and the Skate series."

Same here, but hopefully this time in a more original city, and without the DLC-milking.

But I guess they'll once again just go for an american city, and I don't have any illusions that EA will drop the DLC-milking, so TBH I can't get too excited about the prospect.

If EA is gonna make another Skate, its better be like Skate 2.

Kevin263853719d ago

What did you like about Skate 2 more than the other games in the series?

Audiggity3718d ago

I agree 100%... and to Kevin's question - I'm not totally sure why. All 3 Skate games were great, but, I think the reason I prefer Skate 2 above the others was the raw animations.

Skate 1 was a bit tame, Skate 3 has the advanced physics/off-board mechanics, but Skate 2... something about the crashes, the sense of speed when bombing hills, the injury challenges... I can't exactly put my finger on it, but it just felt more complete.

Almost like the physics in GTA IV vs. GTA V. GTA V is more refined and more realistic, but the car crashes/Euphoria engine player models still seem a bit more pronounced in IV overall. Similar feeling I get comparing Skate 2 to Skate 3.

I'll gladly take a few more glitches in exchange for more pronounced animations.

bonabice3718d ago

imo it was skate 3 the best im stil playing and hope to see skate 4 on ps4

Sharingan_no_Kakashi3719d ago

I hope not. Skate was good for those who like more realistic experiences but it was boring. And some of the tricks had such similar inputs it was difficult to perform what you wanted.

I'm sure everyone remembers that darn near impossible mission when you had to knock that one guy over that was walking around that bench or whatever and you had to do a specific trick for it.

If they can make it better then go for it but I don't see how they can add to it without fundamentally changing what it is.

Audiggity3718d ago

Yes! I remember that mission! Oh man... me and my friends played it for 2 or 3 hours until we finally got it...

I don't agree that the game was boring though. You could spend hours in the same little area perfecting your runs.

AceBlazer133719d ago

Screw EA and the Skate games. I wanna be able to do the ridiculous stuff like in American Wasteland.

Audiggity3718d ago

Then play American Wasteland... haha

TheMrMalro3719d ago

EA killed Black Box. The creators of the best NFS games and obviously Skate. So I dunno...

Yodagamer3719d ago

You can't forget black box's nhl hitz series they are some of my favorite hockey games at the time.

I'm sure R* knows the Nintendo Switch install base and probably dont really care to port over more R* games to the Nintendo Switch tho i gotta say playing GTA4 & RDR1 on the go on the Nintendo Switch would be dope

Knightofelemia657d ago

I would buy Lollipop Chainsaw, Alice Madness Returns, Enslaved, Splatter House, Brutal Legends, Dante's Inferno, and Dead Space for sure if they were ported to the Switch.

Mobis-New-Nest657d ago

Deus Ex Human Revolution would be a great title to The Holy Grail of All Consoles aka The Nintendo Switch*. Also Haze Remastered, Grand Theft Auto 4 and 5 Remastered, Silent Hill HD Collection, Max Payne 3 Remastered, Call of Duty World At War Remastered, The Orange Box Remastered, Halo Master Chief Collection, Left 4 Dead 1 and 2 Remastered, Metal Gear Solid 4 Remastered, Afro Samurai Remastered, Demons Souls Remastered, Xmen Destiny Remastered, Jack and Daxter Collection, Def Jam Icon Remake, Folklore Remastered, Spiderman Edge of Time Remastered, Persona 5 remastered, the list goes on. (*Best Selling Console of All Time)

MontyeKristo657d ago (Edited 657d ago )

Can we just get a Bully 2? 😒

iplay1up2657d ago

Seriously? Isn't it time Nintendo make a Switch successor? I mean they have the sales and money.

A New EA Skate Gaming is Coming, For Real (Interview)

Jenkemmag - We talked to Cuz Perry and Deran Chung, who were both a part of the original team that worked on Skate 3 and tried to squeeze as much info out of them as we could regarding the new title. They were a bit tight-lipped, but at the very least, you can read on and hear some good news from some people who are actually trustworthy on the matter.

So the one time I don't bother watching EA's conference is the time they actually announce Skate 4, the only reason I ever watched their conferences for.

monkey6021409d ago

They haven't even started working on it yet. You missed nothing

sourOG1409d ago

I hyped! Been waiting on this for years! I have a feeling they didn’t show anything because they just approved it yesterday after looking at the comments. We literally willed this into existence lol.

Si-Fly1409d ago

Hope you’re hyped about adding more years to your wait!

sourOG1409d ago

Not really lol. That’s actually a bummer. But it’s cool they pulled their head out of their ass regardless.

BrainSyphoned1409d ago

Rushed EA game to capitalize off the Tony Hawk rerelease wave.

ApocalypseShadow1409d ago

Correct. Only after Tony Hawk coming back did they decide to make one.

iareber951409d ago

I think a culmination of Tony Hawk, Skater XL and Session. I'd lean more towards the growing popularity of Skater XL and Session seeing as Tony Hawk was only just announced very recently. Let's just hope it's not rushed.
