New Burnout, Skate on the way

19
EA Games president reveals "extension" of driving and skateboarding series in next fiscal year, commits long-term to Mass Effect, and says next Need for Speed will return to series' roots.

Another new franchise EA is prepping a sequel for is Mass Effect, which was announced for the PC today. From the very first time now EA-owned developer BioWare showed it off in 2005, the role-playing game franchise was touted as trilogy. EA Games president Frank Gibeau's presentation today suggested it may not end there, as he told analysts that it "will be a franchise for [EA] for a very long time." He also said that going forward, EA will take over publishing duties on the Mass Effect franchise from Microsoft Game Studios, which handled the game's initial release on the Xbox 360.

Please don't listen to the guy above me and cripple the game to be easier for people who suck at it and it will be near perfect.

Yeah I loved SKATE's single player campaign, I was able to get all of the achievements for it. I couldn't get interested in the laggy multiplayer though, but I can't wait to play SKATE 2

The controls don't need to be easier. Near the end of the game you should be able to do almost all of the tricks at anytime.

wow ppl. im not asking the controls to be "easier". i have hardly any problem pulling off the tricks i need to. its opinions ive heard from friends and from what ive read in reviews, i believe they do need a tweak. the game can get frustrating at times when you know your doing the right motions for a trick. christ.

So EA is publishing and not Microsoft, and since EA puts out their games on every platform imaginable, does that mean Mass Effect 2 will be coming to PS3?

3 - licks lips... wow... Skate 2 and a new burnout fro next year
i hope criterion is doing it. because if it comes out next year and not take 2 or so years it's gonna suck..... now Mass effect... yummy on PS3... looks like bioware is on it's way to doing something good. I'm just hoping that Ea doesn't force them to do it yearly. i dont mind it being a franchise along as it aint a yearly one... and need for speed... ugh... please kill it every need for speed after underground suck balls...

I dont find it hard to pull off the tricks you want to pull in skate, i like to refer it as having skill to do the hard stuuf. I loved Skate but im not going to get Skate 2 unless it is an incredible improvment from Skate

Skate was one of my favorite games and i hate skateboarding, i hope in the new one u can get off the board, and maybe add blood(but it would be really greusome when youre going 50mph down a street and u trip and you skid for 2 blocks str8), and be able 2 get into an argument or fight with another skater that bumps into u

... I hope they will give us a whole new city to explore, and personally, I'd like a modern big asian metropolis with lots of new buildings, green parks, and traditional suburbs and low-income slums etc.

I'm growing pretty tired of always skating, shooting, and racing through big american cities that all look the same.

Be a little bit creative here and mix the best of the big asian cities (Hong Kong, Tokyo, Kyoto, Shanghai, Macau (nice european influences), Kuala Lumpur, etc etc.) into 1 giant big modern city with just endless possibilities.

Also would be nice to be able to get off your board, so you dont have to take a detour to get back up some stairs or something.

Anyway, really looking forward to Skate 2. Skate was pretty good, but you could tell it was really the 1st, with room left for improvement. Hopefully, they have listened to all the fans and will deliver with Skate 2.

6.2 - Doesnt have to be a chinese...
... cause you can still costumise your own character. Plus you can just use the setting because of a huge tournament that's taking place there near the end of career mode or something.

Seriously, I'm sick of constantly skating in 'American' cities with the same types of colours and buildings and trees and cars and people etc. What's wrong with changing that setting for once!?

Skate was uber fun and ages ahead of Tony Hawk games. As for Burnout, it will always rule but hopefully it's not a yearly upgrade like NFS games. I was hoping for another Black but it was officially denied :(
