Rumor: Skate 3 in the works

duh.

I love the skate series.

EA is really giving activision a run for its money. skate > tony hawk. rock band > guitar hero. who knows, they might be able to make a call of duty competitor that's better than COD itself! and no, not medal of honor. we're not going there.

A sequel to an EA licensed game? Colour me surprised!

pray to the skate gods it doesn't have a board you play with!!!!!!

File this under the "no shit" tag.

Grab your board and skate
Grind those rails, do kicks and flips
Don't fall, that would hurt.

Its EA ofcourse its in the works all they do is make sequels

Who seriously cares about this series? I sure as hell dont. After wasting my time on both the first and second one I dont even want to know anything about the third one. The Tony Hawk games, espescially the earlier ones, will always be the best skate boarding games.

I have a lot of fun playing Skate and Skate 2. Can't wait for a Skate 3. I hope it has better customization options though... I got to admit the Tony Hawk series was better with character customization.

YES! I love Skate 2 so much, I played it for months, and it still isn't old. i'm excited for a conformation.

I'll wait for SSX. Oh wait, EA isn't making it because they're wasting their time with 2 sequels for a game that came out a year and a half ago.

Sweet, I mean I knew it was coming but...

Skate 1 and 2 were so amazing. Like one poster said, I hope they have better CAS this time around. I thought the CAS in Skate 1 was better than in 2.

Nothing beats just finding a spot and getting creative. I guess the un-imaginative need telephone wires to grind and letters to collect instead of you know, actually playing the game S-K-A-T-E like your supposed to or setting up their own lines.

I love the skate series. I loved Skate and Skate 2 is probably the best skating game made. Especially recently.

But in all reality, do we really need a third? I hope they put it in a completely new city this time instead of just remodeling the last one again. That way it may help a lot.

In the end, I just don't know what they might be able to do differently to really make it worthy of a "3rd" than just DLC. Granted, all that being said, I'll probably buy it anyway. Rofl.

RUMOARS! FRANCHISE THAT SOLD WELL MAKES A SEQUEL! READ ALL ABOUT IT!

Pretty obvious really.

Am I the only person who didn't like Skate 2 as much as the first Skate? I like the new moves and the ability to move objects in the world, but the physics feel way wrong in Skate 2 for me. And to a lesser extent, I didn't like how the game seemed to make it easy to just skip from mission to mission, and didn't encourage any actual skating between the events.

Don't get me wrong, I still beat Skate 2 and liked it a lot, but I still find myself returning to the original Skate when I'm just looking to do some freeskating. I wish there were some option to change between the realistic physics of the first one and the lesser-realistic physics of the second so that both parties could be happy.

I hear it gonna have a BMX bike.

Skate 3 has to have some longboards on it.

I think that in skate 3 they should add a few new things:

1. no comply's any trick by holding the mongo push button and then flipping a trick (except for hardflips and inward heels and nollie stuff)

2. does anybody remember how frikkin amazing those photo shots were in the Photoshoot missions/goals? They should add a button combo (like LB +

i dont care if the gameplay is the same i just wanna play the game with new places

echoing others, i hope Skate doesn't turn into a yearly franchise like THPS did. i will say that i still bust the original through Underground (skipping #2) and :AW out sometimes and have a great time cruising the levels. the design and feel of the earlier games definitely have an appeal that still grips me, from their levels (THPS1's Chicago or THPS2's School II) to the create-a-skater, which Skate arguably does well, too (Skate's strong point being the more-fully-customizable physical/facial dimensions with lame branding vs. THPS's favorable make-it-your-own generic clothing but basic physical editing...though in Skate you can make your own graphics now and the phys edit in THUG got better over time.)

Skate is awesome (meant that it fills me with awe, not the 'sweet' connotation its taken on) with its realistic portrayal of exactly what you can do on a board, going along with the realistic graphics, story and the rest of such 'reality' that we want from our games nowadays. there will always be a place in my heart for the THPS of yore but i think Skate won me over with its slick style.

all nitpicking aside,
what *i* want to see in Skate 3 is some new place like Portland, OR or Seattle. active day and weather cycles, with rain and fog, making traffic signals fade, the blinking four-way red on the edge of town look like it's from a zombie movie, streetlights reflecting off the ground, showing rough pavement texture and, yeah, making things a bit slippery. i read San Van is done. (for now, at least.) EA squeezed all they could out of that city and i am very thankful they're moving the setting. please, EA, hear this plea: Seattle.
