One of the featured games at EA Canada's Open House earlier this month was a new IP called SKATE. Developed by EA Black Box, SKATE hopes to push and shove its way to make room for one more skateboarding title in the already monopolized genre.
At first glance, SKATE is hard to tell apart from the Tony Hawk series, but Tony Hawk this certainly is not. SKATE offers a whole new experience, providing not only new controls and gameplay mechanics, but a new way to share your experience with your friends....
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.
Interesting but i haven't found a decent skating game since Tony Hawk 2.
Was this reviewed on the PS3 or X360?
When is this bad boy coming out?
