Skate 4 - Make EA Skate Again

[AdrianLopez]

I know it's the Berrics and all, but seriously, we need Skate 4 on Xbox or PS4. I currently don't own the latest consoles but I would get one of them in a heart beat if only Skate 4 came out.

Friends, skateboarders, lend me your ears! We want a fourth edition of EA's much-loved SKATE series?and we want it yesterday. Last week, we made our intentions crystal clear. With our #MAKEeaSKATEAGAIN campaign, we fired the opening salvo. Our fellow skateboarders, those who thought that the possibility of SKATE 4 was just a pipe dream, became empowered. We're ending years of silence.

Thousands upon thousands of comments later, we are getting closer to the moment of truth. And we will NOT STOP until we receive confirmation that SKATE 4 is in the works. Let your voice be heard, and follow @MAKEeaSKATEAGAIN for updates on our campaign. #MAKEeaSKATEAGAIN

EA shut down Black Box a few years ago. It's not happening anytime soon.

[palenimbus]

go outside and actually skate, ya losers!

[tobey]

I'll forgive them for getting rid of the black box team when Battlefield 1 finally comes out. I don't want a skating game, i can do that in real life, but i can't fight in WWI in real life.

[Big Skatefase]

i can't do a switch flip back noseblunt down a handrail in real life.

If I gain 50lbs and get acne I'll spring for the Gears 4 Bundle, at the ripe price of only $600!

fucking berra trying to take pewdiepies skate hype... although i can agree with berra on this subject.

[2000]

I don't want a skating game, i can do that in real life,

fuck your real life, I want to pretend I'm a pro skater in a video game and do switch backside flips over picnic tables. Actually my self esteem is too low and I have created a character who is the pro skater, he used to be sponsored by eS before the whole hiatus thing and then I lost interest. The video was way longer than it should of been, would of been fine if it was as long as his mindfield part.

Pshhh acting like my real life is awesome

[CHONGO]

Sadly I doubt it will ever come out

[j....soy.....]

It's a shameless attempt at getting more hits on the berrics.....how often does bringing anything back work better? 

[Fecal Fury]

On a related note, does anyone else just make real life skaters in Skate 3?

I tried making a Grosso but I couldn't make him fat enough...

There's no reason another in-house EA studio couldn't take up the reigns. EA owns the IP, they could license it out to anyone.

[Kolostrum]

I'm sure none of you watched the video, but that was extremely disturbing.

the close up of steves face in the thumbnail is already enough to give me the heebie jeebies

[roscoemoore1]

so is this actually gaining any traction? or just an instagram plug for berra

It'd be cool to play a new Skate version and all, but I don't really see how they could evolve to the next step as a game. Besides having diff spots/pro-skaters, I'm thinking they reached a creative peak with the 3rd one. Kinda like every new THPS version: its more or less the same shit every time. Then again, this is coming from someone who doesn't play video games that much these days.

Maybe Berra just wants to get the Berrics into a closer partnership with EA or something (take Black box's former space), which is smart I guess.

[Eric ricks]

Im still trying to kickflip over the bridge in skate 3...

[Matze]

After watching a good amount of that video I switched my position from neutral to 'fuck that bullshit'.

[UserFame]

skateboarding is in the Olympic Games now, I think its only a matter of time to a proper skate video game comes out.

The character customization in skate 3 isn't very good, they could heavily expand upon that like having multiple colors of the same shoe and actually adding shoe laces instead of having the skater wear them as if the shoes are still on a wall in a skate shop. I would buy it right away just for new skate spots to explore. A lot of skate 3's spots were like 3x too big (hastings bowl, brooklyn banks, 3rd and army gap) and a lot of the hand rails have unnecessary kinks at the very bottom, I don't think there's a proper kinked handrail in the entire game. They need drop the intention of trying to design good skate spots, me and my friends would always find way better skate spots in GTA IV. As for a new plot, if they can come up with something better than helping your local high school mascot earn money for dance lessons, I would be happy.

I bet they already greenlit Skate 4 and are gonna try to validate themselves when it gets announced anyways. EA would shut this shit down if they didn't have a hand in it. They pioneered profiteering in video games.

Also fuck them for referencing Donald Trump, even if it is some joke/parody bullshit.

I had a similar feeling. This is reeks of a faux viral marketing campaign. I can already see sb saying "this is your game, you made your game, so go out and get your game"


If you want a good skate game go support project: session.  It will be on PC

The map in OG skate was the best by far. Everything just flowed so well. I'd be down for an HD remake with all the features of skate 3

That game sucked.
The only character customization I REALLY need for Skate 4 is the ability to remove the fucking stickers from the caps. I might throw my characters off rooftops or make them wear Osiris, but tinfoil stickers on the LIDS are too much for them to bear.

Likewise.
