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.
over and over and over until we all get old.
I think the THPS machine has died down. I used to be a big fan, but it's just too much of the same old stuff...
choose your own path? WTF, you did that in underground n sh*t. skate is refreshing, Activision needs to come up with something different. Project 8 was the last straw
Skate all the way. It had superb and innovative controls, felt fresh, the areas were nice and realisitc and finally, the graphics did feel next-gen and style was there.
Tony Hawk's Proving Ground? Let's see. No innovations (Just some added nail the... moves), same controls, feels really dated and much like most of previous games, areas are getting really old and the graphics are really not much different than a good looking PS2 game, the only difference is in resolution here. THPG's only plus is it's video edit system that is better and deeper than Skate's. The level editor things didn't help much. Story and characters as always lame.
Skate: 8.5/10
THPG: 4.5/10
Yeah Tony Hawk is the same ridiculous crap and it has gotten boring. Skate has an amazing completely physics based control scheme and refreshes skateboarding games. I'm really surprised it didn't get too much critical acclaim and Tony Hawk is still doing well with a vastly superior game out.
