Skate as we know it is most likely done for. EA is the shittiest, big-name game publisher there is and after skate 3 didnt live up to THEIR expectations as far as sales go, they pulled the plug on the shit. Well, they havent announced it officially but given their track record i highly doubt it comes back. Better hope some other developer & publisher makes a new skateboarding game for the next-gen consoles. I always thought it would be sick if 2K sports made one

Eh, 2K isnt too great either if you look at the basketball games compared to nba live graphics wise they're worse. But for the rest they're better so I guess they could do ok. But EA has the map and controls already.

the fuck is this blasphemy? nba live graphics look like plastic action figures. 2k may not get every single facemap perfect but overall the graphics are much much better. Dont even get me started on gameplay...theres a reason why Live took a HIATUS for 2-3 years, almost put out another basketball game, then canceled it last minute once after 2K started getting even more hype with all the jordan shit. its only coming back now because EA thinks they have a chance with the next-gen consoles, but its too late now 2k just keeps getting better each year theres no way they'd catch up.

thats what i thought as well, but its complete bullshit since i had to buy another copy of skate 3 a few months ago after wearing my last disc out. the new one i bought was a 'platinum seller' or whatever, has a lil banner at the top of the box and everything, so unless their expectations were through the roof i dunno how they didnt consider it a success.

also i think skate 4 isnt out of the question as much as it was before, i could see them bringing it back for the new consoles. there seems to be a decently big internet push on their forums and shit for them to make another one.

and yes it is coming out next weekend BALT, not joking

The Black Box division of EA that was responsible for the development of the Skate games in no longer in existence...
I do not believe that in the very near future that Skate 4 will be released, let alone developed --- although I'd love to see it happen.

Only thing 2K is good at is basketball. The 2K NHL games were complete shit (hence why EA only makes them now) and the 2K baseball games, while fun, they're so far behind graphics wise and cannot compare to The Show at all in anything. 2K other than the NBA games is inferior.

their football games were actually pretty sick tho, and I dont even like football like that. they were selling those joints for $20 too. only a third of the cost of madden & was wayy better. no wonder why EA is holding on to that NFL license for so long, although I think its supposed to expire in the next couple or years or something.

2K could make the best hockey game ever, only there's no market. NBA 2k is a work of art and their hockey games were fun too

trust me with blackbox gone you do not want them to try to make a skate 4 with a different publisher

2k could be terrible as well

a good example of this is the snowboard game amped 2 for xbox, which is basically the "skate" of snowboard games and still stands as the only good snowboard game ever made. microsoft got rid of the publisher then handed the amped franchise over to 2k who absolutely butchered it and made one of the worst games of any kind i have ever played known as amped 3.

the worst part was that the poor sales numbers for amped 3 made a ton of publishers decide to ditch the idea of having a realistic snowboard franchise, even though the reason for the bad sales was how horrible the game was. skate 3 was a commercial success, and by letting the franchise die without ea digging it up and raping it like amped, perhaps another more capable company will run with the realistic skateboard game idea again.

Not possible, all the DLCs they made were already in the game when you buy it in the first place, when you buy the DLC it just gets unlocked on the disc you already bought.

Preach, I've been saying this exact same thing for years.  Amped 3 was the worst, I don't know even were to start.  Amped 2 had replay value like Skate 2 (I like 2 better than 3)

Hope they come out with a snowboarding game that is somewhat realistic, like landing in transition would be a good start and maybe showing the more skate influenced side of snowboarding like street rails and parks like Bear Mtn.

Would love for them to come out with another realistic skating game, hopefully if EA doesn't do it then whoever does has the rights to use the same "flick it" controls or whatever.  But we all know how EA is so I'm not going to get my hopes up.

Yeah amped 2 was super fun. I loved that game! Amped 3 was "meh". I played it for a little bit and while I didn't think it was THAT bad, it definitely wasn't as good as the first. I'm sure SOMEONE wether its ea or another company will come out with some sort of skating game a year or two after the next gen consoles have been on the market. There has to be some sorta skateboarding game out there. It not, developers will see the need for one & would definitely capitalize on the opportunity to be the only one on the market
Title: Re: Skate 4
Post by: Tenterhooks on August 31, 2013, 07:52:52 AM
The Flick-It control system has totally spoiled us - it's hard to imagine going back to a THPS-style push-button-to-do-trick game now. Can you copyright something like that? It'd suck if EA prevented others from using it.

Saying that, the controls are both the best and worst thing about the Skate series - they're really rewarding and allow for incredible depth but they kinda alienate casual players at the same time. Not great for making big bucks.

I remember spending hours trying to kickflip into a grind when I got the first game. After a while it becomes second nature but, jeez, someone who isn't really into skateboarding would lose patience pretty quickly, especially if they're already used to grinding telephone wires. I guess there will always be enough skateboarding fans out there to make a 'serious' skateboarding game financially viable (we wouldn't have got 3 Skate games if there wasn't) but it's a waay harder sell for publishers.

to expand on your idea: the harder you slam, the longer you're not allowed to play the game for. It takes several years to get good at playing it, and even then you get shown up by much younger NPC's. Everything progresses in real time. The more years you log in the game, the faster your character gets exhausted and just sits there watching everyone else skate.

Considering how much money and work would have to be put in making the game, in order to really do something ground breaking and make the game exceptionally more enjoyable to play than skate 3, makes it hard for any game company to get interested on the idea. The truth is that the skaters and people interested in skateboarding lifestyle aren't really a big enough group of people that would buy the game enough to cover like 50 million dollar development costs.

IMO It would have to progress a lot into the GTA direction, and should be easier to pick up by gamers who aren't obsessed in skating, while still keeping the real skater interested in it. Every kid liked the THPS games and it was easy to play and got them interested in skating, now that kind of effect would be a lot harder to accomplish.

It will take a few years before the pressure for a new one builds  big enough and somebody decides to try to make it happen, and I hope it's gonna be good.

I remember looking at sales stats for Ea sports game and the Skate series wasn't that far behind some of the big names like NHL and Tiger Woods.

Like every company, EA had to trim the fat and focus only on sure bets. The black box team was an easy cut. There is still money to be made with the franchise. If I were to bet on it, I'd say there will be something out with the next gen consoles within the first couple of years.

Think of it this way: More street league: more change of EA Skate 4.

One thing I would like to see (if it's even possible in the near future) is the ability to have flip tricks look slightly different based on how you flick your right analog.  That and more dynamic animations.  The skate games are fun and I'm not complaining, but it would be awesome to have character animations look a bit more different each time you did a trick.

I've said it in other threads, but EA does not own the control system that was used in the skate. games. The guy who developed that system licensed it to EA. He still owns it and could license it/sell it to other developers if he so desired. I know a bunch of the guys who made those games and this is truth.

Skate 4 isn't happening. Not yet anyway.

He's the reason if I remember correctly why the first Skate had no DLC. He didn't believe in it. He felt like everything should be available when you buy the game at retail. Which I agree with but EA didn't like that of course. A shame he left before or after Skate 2. Can't remember exactly when.

After 2. With 1 they had a lot to prove, then EA gave them more money/freedom with 2, but by 3 EA had taken over the studio and a lot of people left/were forced out. They brought in all these other people, most of which had no idea about anything skateboarding related, and 3 underperformed by EA standards so everything was shuttered.

I think the DLC stuff was a little bit of what you said and a little bit of there not being enough money to do it at the time.

Seriously makes me wish Scott and Jay Balmer would start a kickstarter for a new skate game. They know what it needs in my opinion. As said by Jay in the video below. Too be honest a Skate port to PC with mod support could make the game stay alive on forever since you can use a controller on PC and with steams mod support. Just wish it was a possibility.

Scott Blackwood owns the patent or whatever on it, he just licensed it to EA and could do the same to another developer. It's still his.

Remember how well Tony Hawk did with the one that required you have the board controller? I doubt his next offering will be what actual skateboarders want it to be.

All I know is that a New tony hawk game has been confirmed by either tony or neversoft for a new next gen title in 2015. I can only hope they try to revamp the series and go for a more realistic approach. Skate pretty much snatched the crown for skateboarding games commercially & culturally while THPS sales dropped dramactially so I'd imagine if they're smart they'd try to fill that void on the next consoles. They've already been remastering the old games so there's no "need" for them to stick to their roots and go the arcade route with the newer games.

won't be satisfied until there's another skate, even if the new Tony Hawk tries to make it realistic it'll still be rediculous they would need to stick to the same combo getting and high point scoring formula that has made the series successful and popular with non skaters

Well...fair enough then. Thanks for posting this.

So if EA doesn't give a shit about the franchise, they'd likely sell it on the cheap. That still means it's possible for another developer to make Skate 4 or reboot the series entirely.

Or someone else could just make a skateboarding game. That's more likely.

EA had assumed a lot of control over Black Box (studio who actually made the game) after Skate 1s success. They were restructuring how things were done at the studio and a lot of people were not cool with it, especially Scott Blackwood. They saw the direction things were heading and jumped ship.

Thats true, however it comes down to money. Look at the $20 million a pop comment on any open world game (like skate). Unless they design and improve the mechanics and include a user-generated option for a world, the game isn't likely to happen.

The other annual titles cost very little to make and generate the same or more revenue. I do believe there is an opportunity for another skate game, its just a matter of when and right now it seems like there's no sign of a 4.
