I like it when sk8trs jump out into traffic and I nearly run them over. Is that in the game? Huh? Is it?

CrAppleton5656d ago

LOL.. wow.. maybe you should stick to games where you shoot people..

Jimmy the Greek5656d ago

the game youre looking for is called real life and it costs 5-10... years. it is fun attaching point values to those bastards

bgrundman5656d ago

Sounds like there may be some latent anger pent up.

bgrundman5656d ago

lol... teacher, 20 points, with a 2X multiplier for the crossing guard

Jimmy the Greek5656d ago

fat teacher 100 points, neighbors kids 10 points, you get the idea ;)

Neco5125656d ago

I had a hard time with the first one, but I may give this one a shot.

Jimmy the Greek5656d ago

i dropped out of the extreme sports games after tony hawk 2

bgrundman5656d ago

That was probably the smartest thing you ever did, because after that the waters started to muddy considerably. I tried to play the most recent tony hawk and gave up after a meager 2 hours. A reboot was needed and I think Skate brought it.

CrAppleton5656d ago

Man.. if you only played Tony Hawk, you're missing out.. and the controls are a little difficult to get used to, but once you do they aren't bad at all. Just think of the first FPS you played with dual analogs ;)

Jimmy the Greek5656d ago

dont get me wrong, theyre fun, but its too much button mashing for my tastes

Neco5125656d ago

Skate doesnt let you button mash

Any idea if this is coming to the Wii?

Jimmy the Greek5656d ago

the wii might be a good platform for this kind of game

bgrundman5656d ago

They recently released SkateIT for Wii and it didn't do so well. The trick is using the balance board properly.

CrAppleton5656d ago

Dont think this one is going to make it to the Wii.. I think SkateIT was the only one slated for the Wii as of late

bgrundman5656d ago

I will be curious to see which console is the lead SKU for this version. It was obviously the 360 for the original Sk8te.

Jimmy the Greek5656d ago

it is the drunken frat boy, side ways baseball cap wearing, camera flipping off demographic that buys these games and they usually play the 360

bgrundman5656d ago

Many people feel exactly the same way.

bgrundman5656d ago

The soundtrack looks pretty solid too.

CrAppleton5656d ago

Yeah, which is a MUST for a good skating game

Jimmy the Greek5656d ago

i usually play my own set list over the 360 media share

The 7 Best Skateboarding Games

Since the mid-90s, skateboarding games have remained a popular past time. But which are the best skateboarding games?

MasterChief3624306d ago

There is no way in hell they put the cover of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 5 as the thumbnail for "best skateboarding games." Good Lord.

ChiefofLoliPolice305d ago

Not the game that needs to be the thumbnail.

ChiefofLoliPolice305d ago

Oh dear God the OG TH games are amazing. THUG 1 2 and THAW were badass. It's hard to pick. The EA Skate games were amazing too especially Skate 3.

Never got the chance to play Session or Skate XL but I want to try.

As far as classics...the THUG games and Pro 4 were my favs. I still play those games on my OG Xbox to this day!

Abear21305d ago

Smh still no Skate on PlayStation 4 or 5. All these new budget skateboarding games are glitched trash. The new Skate will be good, but nothing will give me that crazy feeling like OG skate demo, that was a revelation

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

Knightofelemia686d 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-Nest686d 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)

MontyeKristo686d ago (Edited 686d ago )

Can we just get a Bully 2? 😒

iplay1up2686d ago

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

Game awards skate gameplay? I’d be hyped. All I’ve asked for over the years from EA is a skate sequel and a dead space 1 remaster. If they nail these games me and EA are cool. Clean slate, no hate. Do they make really dumb moves all too often? Yes. But It’s not like they are activision blizzard.

Michiel1989924d ago

throw in battle for middle-earth 1-2 remastered with multiplayer servers running and im game

sourOG924d ago

For those games you would clean the slate with EA you mean?

I said I’d never forgive them for what they did to visceral and black box but the visceral guys are making a “dead space” sequel anyway and they are free from EA. And a skate is being made. If they ruin dead space 1 I will never forgive them lmao. If they bang these out with fire? Even Steven.

Michiel1989923d ago

there is no cleaning the slate with EA anymore (in the short term), but bfme 1 and 2 are some of my favorite games of all time, I just want to play them online again with a decently sized playerbase. Ive been hoping for a remaster for these games for years now, but WB has the lotr license now, so there is basically no chance of it happening.

Profchaos924d ago

On the same day they announced backwards compatibility ouch

Servbot41924d ago

Leave it to EA to be completely tone deaf morons.

AnotherGamer924d ago

Wow wut, but they announced backward compatibility just today.

Amplitude924d ago (Edited 924d ago )

lol what a hilarious day to announce this

Props to them for keeping them up as long as they did though
