Gamesradar's experience with EA's SKATE:
"It's only been a few days since we had our first Skate experience. But we are still thinking about it, still hearing the clack-clack-clack of wheels on concrete, even as we sit here attempting to forge words into meaningful sentences. Activision's venerable Tony Hawk's pro skater series certainly pushed its own boundaries with the enjoyable Project 8, but Skate is something altogether different.
In fact, Tony's button mashing franchise isn't even on the same map as Electronic Art's fresh new rider, as it streaks in from leftfield to reinvent the genre and show us just how monotonous Tony Hawk has become. So, while we struggle through a serious case of craving for another hands-on session, we'll explain to you how Skate is destined to become the new king of videogame skateboarding..."
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
"If done right" lmao. The only way to do that right is to make them unlockable via in game progression.
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, while we struggle through a serious case of craving for another hands-on session, we'll explain to you how Skate is destined to become the new king of videogame skateboarding." Thats when I stopped reading... Talk about unbiased..? HAHA I never really liked the skateboarding games and this one is no different.. It seems like it would be a good addition to the sixaxis though...
To push the Tony Hawk series to another level. Like developers get lazy when they have the only game in that genre i.e. Madden.
tony hawk sucks to fake not even really skateboarding anymore. good job EA this is a must buy for me. Although i am a skateboarder and a gamer.
skate is going to really kick tony a$$ cause this is what skateboarding is all about, the authentic moves and syle is what going to be a real great game for the ps3,360 best put it cant wait.
innovative game, HUUUUMMMMMMM we'll see.
Agreed Hawks flown the coup one too many times, time for some new blood!
