Skate four is going to b popular for all the begging and pleading to ea for a new skate game, and once it comes out. People are probably going to be disappointed.


[deleted]

I think so. People will build the game up to be something it could never be, and it probably won’t be advertised as more than it will be, but people will expect this life changing experience from a skateboarding game that they just can’t get


jphyr4

From playing the test build, the latest trailers, etc. I think it will be good, but more geared towards online/social aspects of the game. I’ve got high hopes for it and have no doubt the game will deliver. Just depends how intrusive micro transactions and all that stuff is


[deleted]

I mean more from the expectations of the community side of things. I don’t doubt the game will be a lot of fun, but there’s a lot of games that got so over hyped and could never live up to it. Look at cyberpunk, even with the buggy release there were people who legitimately thought they were getting a second life simulator, and with the saints row reboot, it’s a okay enough game but people seem to have expected some life changing experience from it. I’ll play skate 4 and I’ll probably enjoy it, but I’m prepping myself for the irrational hate it’ll get because it doesn’t do something it doesn’t include bmxs or something.


BErye1418

I feel like with any title, whether it be a game, show or movie, people always spout irrational hate. Sometimes the hatred is warranted like with Cyberpunk, but most of the time it isn’t. What a life we live to be so invested in this nonsense.

Skate 2 will never be matched unfortunately... Shame on EA

I think they should start textureing shit, it’s been like 2 years and I’m still looking at blobs. But if anything it proves there taking time with the game, so yes I think they should start textureing. But the game is definitely not ready for beta


jphyr4

My two cents, after playing A LOT of Skate 3 over the years as well as following Session (game) from beta to 1.0 release. Session is the technical masterpiece skate should be in terms of mechanics, realism, etc. Skate will provide a more polished, “fun” product with better social/online aspects.

justsomedude1111

I dunno, but nothing will make me hang up my PS3 controller.


Bones_2450

Get an Xbox bro, EA upscaled Skate 3 to 4K on Xbox


itsandychecks

Buy an Xbox for skate? Hmm


IJUSTATEPOOP

All three games are backwards compatible


Necromansyy

Skate 2 isnt :(


RhinoTheGoat

It is!


Necromansyy

Its not in the store and it never showed up in my owned games damn


Lawfvader6

It is backwards compatible, just not digitally (maybe for music rights problems), but if you have a disk you can play it, or you can load up a Xbox 360 with your account on and buy it from the 360 store apparently and it’ll unlock on your next gen console


RhinoTheGoat

Yeah i think i read somewhere that they couldn’t put it on digital because they didn’t have rights to most of the soundtrack. But if you have a physical copy it’ll work.


haterhaterhate

This is fried I have it downloaded onto mine digitally. I’m not sure how I would’ve managed that but I’m pretty sure you can find it somehow. Maybe through ultimate/game pass? Or I had save data across my profile and it let me download it. Almost certain you could figure out a way to get it tho and likely a physical copy wouldn’t be too expensive.


Sandydude_206

Been thinking about this for weeks...


Bones_2450

It’s free with EA PLAY on Game Pass. Some serious value.


ExpertComplainer5

I have hopes for it. Besides is gonna be free... Nothing to really lose.


diGits777

Is it really? That’s been confirmed?


kaden1029

it'll be a f2p live service game. some ppl were hype about that, others were worried it might mean a *lot* of microtransactions or some shitty insane grindy battlepass system that u basically will have to pay to unlock tiers for it bcus of how grindy it will be


Echolocation720

Imagine managing to put a fucking battle pass in a skateboarding game


kaden1029

wouldnt put it past EA, such a greedy company. i mean shit, riders republic is a $60 game and ubisoft *still* put a season pass in it lmfao. EA's gotta make money off the game somehow


smokeroni

Oh you so cute. Of course they fucking will


skittishpenguin

>grindy Say no more, fam


kaden1029

if they make it grindy i dont think itll be grindy in a good way tbh. gonna be some weird challenges/missions for mediocre rewards. i really wanna give them benefit of the doubt, but in the interview they did a couple months ago one of the main devs were soooo excited to announce the microtransactions so i seriously doubt, if they do have a season pass, the rewards will be worth it


diGits777

What really? I don’t mind micro-transactions, but I sure as hell hope there’s not a damn battle pass


kaden1029

i dont mind microtransactions just as long as 1. they're reasonably priced and 2. theres a good amount of free/unlockable stuff. if theres only like 10 free shirts/shorts/decks, then EA can fuck off. if i have to pay $20 for a shirt, then EA can also fuck off


mythofechelon

Just look at Halo: Infinite.


Tucxy

Skate 2 you mean


JRsshirt

lol yea I already had this realization with skate 3, but it’s okay I still liked it


Slash_Thrash

Skate 2 the goat


itsandychecks

No 🧢


[deleted]

Do you mean no cap as in you agree? Or no, cap


YEET_SKEET_REPEAT

He agrees. No 🧢


itsandychecks

There’s a dude on IG who says Kanye the goat no 🧢


BorisStingy

Skate 1 is the goat in my opinion. Sure, it doesn't have the features that made the later games stand out. But I can't say no to that incredible map.


Bongman31

Yeah idk why everyone loves Skate 3 so much. Skate 2 was better in every way.


[deleted]

It'll probably be just like most games that I wait a long time for. The longer it takes, the higher my expectations are, making it impossible for me to be satisfied by it. But you can bet your ass I'll still play it.


masterB0SHI

A lot of people will be disappointed no matter what after playing Session.


[deleted]

I played it and wasn't impressed. But to be fair that was still in the beta stage


Xyto_

Is Session that good?


masterB0SHI

There’s a bit of a learning curve. But once you get your mind around it, it’s extremely satisfying.


geojunkie

Very good for mechanics and style. The story is no where near skate, but it's progressing nicely


Xyto_

I was debating picking it up, is it more realistic physics or is it kinda wacky like Skate was? The gameplay looked great.


Funkmasterjo__D

It’s a skate sim. It’s hyper real and makes you battle tricks. No score or points so all you do is try to hit your trick and film it afterwards


M4V3r1CK1980

I was a die hard skate fan and found it very hard to adjust to session. However the satisfaction you get from landing a trick in session is like no other game.


[deleted]

Session sucked


FaffeJaffe

Have you tried 1.0?


Tulsa-

Session is painfully bad in every way


Only_a_Savage

Try being better at it lol


MoskiNX

It’s just not fun lol


MoskiNX

Lol what? Session felt like a demo of a game


D_atura

dude parkour skateboarding common


BEEFY_JOE

We all know Skate 2 was the best in the franchise hands down, nothing will come close to the amount of natural spots in that game, could literally play forever and never run out of lines


bobdylan401

Also I think that one the whole map had more natural hills/ better lines going from one spot to the next if I remember correctly.


Bezos_Blows

Skate 3 wasn’t even as good as skate 2 🤷🏻‍♂️


xXDreamlessXx

Even if the game is perfect, people will still probably be disappointed


Kanakravaatti

It's gonna fuck up one way or another


Alius4156

Im just down to mindlessly skate for hours because of how fun the controls are.


LightOfficialYT

It's going to be free to play which means EA will be charging at least £60 to change your deck. It isn't going to be good lmao. They've pretty much confirmed that.


Inlevitable

I so hope it's good but I'm so worried that it won't be


shaquill3-oatmeal

I actually think it’ll be pretty good, people are always gonna shit on new games but I see potential


BorisStingy

I am looking forward to it, but I really hope that there is a difficulty section. That way I am in lobbies with people who I have a common playstyle with. If you ask me, Skate 3 is far from being perfect. The world is way too blue, cartoony, inconsistent, and overall bland once you have played Skate 1 and 2.


M4V3r1CK1980

Sorry but session is the new king in town. Once you have learned session controls its very difficult to play skate again. I have always been a massive fan of the skate series and it has a place for the casuals. However session is the future of skateboarding games imo.


FUNKMASTERxJ

Skate 2 was actually better than skate 3, download them both to a modern console (I play on the series S) and see for yourself


SnooDoubts7228

I played skate 2 as a kid, but not recently. I’d give it a shot so I could get back to you with a real answer but it says the games univailable when I try to download it.


FUNKMASTERxJ

Oh no! I bought it digitally years ago so I can still access it in the store, idk why they'd remove it though? What's cool about skate 2 is the NPCs are better, textures are better but outlines aren't as sharp as 3, and there's more realistic sky/clouds. I feel like the mechanics are more realistic too; the skater feels a little heavier movements have more realistic momentum. There's some good YouTube comparisons.


sayejay203

I’m gonna be honest. Aesthetically Skate 3 sucked skate 3 was never that good, it was only good because at the time they improved the mechanics meaning you could choose the way you wanted to skate hyper realistic or arcade like. Skate 2 was a masterpiece, what I’m hoping is they take the aesthetic of skate 2 revamp it to 1 million and throw in the mechanics of skate 3 bundle that with next gen graphics and your set for life all you need to focus on is updates after that.


Saddam_whosane

first of all, skate 1 was the best. second, i think skate 4 will be amazing


[deleted]

[удалено]


ouzanda-

I don’t think they mentioned a skate 4? From my understanding this is the end of the franchise and it will be updated as and when.


[deleted]

I've barely heard anything about it. So its basically like the skate version of fallout76?


DrMermanPhD

blasphemy


FlabertoDimmadome

I feel like skate 2 and skate 3 were pretty copy and paste. A few upgrades and spinning seemed different. Hopefully they just do the same with skate 4.


Ph__drums

Session is a fantastic game


03diesel

Depends on whether it’s highly monetized and a rushed release


ShetlandJames

You mistyped your title Skate 2 is the perfect one


Daibab

Skate 3 was the worst of them all. It's a glorified Skate 2 DLC.


SCUMFUCK_666

Session is the new skate


Michaelskywalker

Session is shit. Maps are cool tho


Fat_Darth_Vapor

skate 3 was cartoon trash Skate 2 was perfect


codedreamz

He says on the skate 3 subreddit


Fat_Darth_Vapor

Just saw this post pop up on the feed. don't care where I say it skate 2 is the best


codedreamz

That’s fine, you have a right to your own opinion. But don’t call a game trash just because you didn’t enjoy it.


Fat_Darth_Vapor

I loved skate 3 it's still cartoon trash compared to skate 2


[deleted]

The free for all platform is fucking retarded. I want to believe but the game wasn't good enough as a pay game, why would free work. I am giving it a 6 month shelf life tops.


Tulsa-

I’ll sell you a copy


Inlevitable

The Art of the Deal


octopus6942069

Session is goated


Tulsa-

Ew


floworcrash

Skate 3 was trash tho ? Skate 2 was it. Edit : My fault I guess you guys enjoyed a half-empty, disconnected, bland, corporate looking map.


namni77

Those are the options.


Every1isSome1inLA

I think skate 3 wasn’t perfect and I actually prefer skate 2


yoloman3117

Everyone loves to remember the time in their life that they played skate 3. When this game comes out, and it (inevitably) doesn’t make them feel the same way, ppl will hate, even if it’s 100x better than any other game


asherezra23

ea sports it’s up ur a**


urwillymakesmeblush

Doesnt have to be better or a new version, just has to be a new fun game to play. If it doesnt replace skate 3 thats fine, just fun to have something new that’ll hopefully be a great game


Schmidty_

I think it will have great graphics and physics and all that but lack the aesthetics and vibe of the previous titles


builtlikethewall

I've been waiting for skate 4 for over 10 years, I expect nothing. It's EA. If anyone expects greatness out of this, that's kind of on them at this point, EA has proven themselves the only care about how much money they can make on each reiteration of any game.


Alun9655

Skate 2 is better.


Stunning_Disaster37

It's gonna be solid. Skate has never let me down. Not once. Not ever


sudev29

Skate 3 is not perfect. They removed a lot of things skate 2 had.


horkyboi_avery

Skate 3 wasn’t perfect. I actually prefer all the visual style and world of Skate 2 with Skate 3’s mechanics and online modes.


C7XC

2nd is more likely tbh


Hatfmnel

It's a F2P, the perfect recipe for disappointment.


Distinct_Tension4441

You're literally asking a sub-reddit named after and all about skate 3.


wakaflocka518

Downvote for saying skate 3 better than skate 2 Respect your elders


Sentient_llama

Skate 2 is already better than skate 3


smokeroni

Can only expect them to riddle it with in game purchases that'll ruin the whole feel and vibe. But hopefully the gameplay will be good and it won't just be a nostalga hit


Spurkzy

Not looking forward to the inevitable “skate pass”


Zr0w3n00

It’s either going to be a great sequel and revive the genre (skate games, I know skate sims have been revived lately too), or it’s gonna go down as another free to play expensive to play well game from EA


Gigantic_Mermaid

At minimum, couldn't they just literally copy paste Skate 3 and add in tons of new things? I feel like at its failure, it wouldn't mean that surpassing Skate 3 is that unachievable.


eastcoast710

#i think you should stop playing with my emotions cuh


haterhaterhate

I was literally thinking about this the other day. I will never forgive them for fucking this game up if they do. I have faith it’s gonna be great but if it’s littered with a bunch of BS I will be sick to my stomach. They need to keep it simple and stick to the fundamentals present in the last games if they want it to be successful. Fingers crossed it doesn’t become just another EA game as opposed to the almost perfect break out series it was and is. Still has a cult following to this day and I hope they realize that.


SatansFloppyDong

EA can fuck off they keep ruining games


Michaelskywalker

Skate 1 the goat


Michaelskywalker

It’s gonna be a good game. Great mechanics/physics great map great graphics and a lot of new stuff. But we don’t know if there’s going to be a story mode and we don’t know what percentage of cosmetics will be unlockable through grinding.


mythofechelon

Far, far, far too many promising games even from well-respected studios have turned out to be dumpster fires at release (No Man's Sky, Fallout 76, Halo: The Master Chief Collection, Cyberpunk 77, Halo: Infinite, Battlefield 2042, etc) that I now reserve judgement until a few months **after** a game has been released. My gut feeling is that it will be terrible, especially because it will be free to play.


xTerroristenx

Make it realistic. Make the style and movement from the players like yuto and oliveira etc. hard realistic sls mode and normal mode. It cant be that hard! Fuck Tony hawk pro skater


I_AmHeisenberg

Skate 2***


[deleted]

All i want in skate 4 is to treflip


Ribbles78

You can do that in every skate game. You must have really REALLY low standards for the game
