Debating on which game to buy? Well this article should definitely help you out!
The Tony Hawk franchise has dominated skateboarding games since 1999 due to lack of competition. Activision has produced 10 games since then and the 11th coming this fall. It's called Proving Ground, set in the East Coast in Philadelphia, Baltimore, and Washington D.C. and will be available on all platforms. Neversoft decides to stick with the original gameplay through the whole franchise which is a great thing (if you are into the whole button mashing thing.)
EA Black Box buds in on the market and is currently developing Skate. A more realistic skateboarding game that is set in San Vanelona (San Fransisco, Vancouver, Barcelona.) The best spots in these 3 cities are put into one for the player to thrash. This game will release September 11th for 360 owners and September 24th in North America for PS3 and October 5th in Europe also for PS3.
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.
Which one are you guys thinking looks better? I am going to get skate.
Well I've been bored of Tony Hawk since #2 so Skate for me ^^
