Finally, some good news from the EA side of things.
All I need is a fresh city, and for the game to look better than Skate 3. I am so down for a good sequel to the previous Skate games. It would also be nice if they can reduce the jank, improve the smoothness of animation, offer Ray Traced global illumination (and reflections if possible), allow for some co-op skating, improve the off-board experience, and continue to offer and expand on the create a park type stuff.

I'm fucking howling. I have not laughed so hard or as much at a video on the internet in a while.
Skate 4 along with a new SSX and NBA Street, and I will be happy with EA for the first time since their double whammy of Dead Space and Mirror's Edge releasing a couple of weeks apart from one another back in 2008.
You should mention in post, an important statement he added. For those, who didn't read article.
Origin's API has also revealed that the game is still being referred to as "Skate.", which could indicate that the title is a reboot of the series, rather than a sequel named Skate 4.
A lot of current details on the game are based on the "We're Working On It" Skate trailer from July 2021, which included hints of a map editor, climbing, and in-depth personalization.
Rumors of the title also being free-to-play have also circulated since the game's announcement, but sources that are familiar with the project have said that those early rumors and comments should be taken as pure speculation.
Instead, it seems that the next Skate will follow a traditional release with the likes of cross-play enabled, which is a feature EA is rolling out for its largest franchises. The next FIFA game and F1 2022 will all feature cross-play which are two titles that will release later this year will have cross-play enabled for the first time.

I think it could have a shot at the first half of 2023, a game like this shouldn't take 4-5 years to make. Late 2023 seems like a safe bet though considering the whole development has been in the pandemic.
I can't wait to see what EA has to show!
The game is amazing, I highly recommend it.
You have not played it yet?? try it, an iconic skate game.
So basically you want Skate 2.
That's what I want as well. Also I hope the game isn't as arcadey as 3. I know they give you the option to choose how you want to play in 3 but online the lobbies were way more full in the more forgiving settings.
Yep,
Skate 2 in a new City, with less jank, and much more modern visuals. The visuals don't even need to be amazing, as long as the gameplay is tight, the world and skate park design is solid, and the missions are fun.
Having a good online more would go a long ways too!
The times friends and I were crying laughing at shit in skate... Whew man I love this game. Can't wait for this.
I had one of the worst days of my life today. Thank you for helping me smile.
This is gonna be like THPS 1+2 where everything is locked behind stupid "addictive" mobile game progress bars, and on top of that, microtransactions right?
Skate 2 would have been a perfect game if not for having to pay your little friend to remove skatestops off rails and drain pools and crap. what a wack design decision that shit was
anyways, can't wait til Cuz and the gang get to unveil this one!

Skate 3 is my current "chill out" game on my series X.
It's nearly flawless imo !
The controls, the feeling of skateboarding and landing tricks, the other skaters and pedestrians populating the world and commenting on your skating etc.
For Skate 4 I'd like to see one big city instead of 3 districts that are separated from each other.
Didn't Skate 2 have a single city ?

Sorry for double post but no, please don't aim for real sim..
Skate (3) is the perfect blend between arcade skateboarding and sim imo.
It's waaaay less arcadey like THPS and at the same time not a dry skateboarding sim like "session" (seems to be, I only played the trial for several hours).
I totally agree with this, absolutely unnecessary to make it too enthusiastic.
The expectations would be high, they better learn from mistakes in this one, and move to next.

I said remaster not remake. port PS3/X360 version to current gen hardware and PC with some texture and UI improvements and release it for 20-40$.
Looking at the EA playtesting site I have an option for one in a few weeks, maybe I should take the chance that's it's skate haha.
oh shit!!!!
man i'm so hyped. a big meaty online skate game for steam deck... the dream
Leaked playtest footage, the game is clearly still VERY EARLY in development

Physics looking solid.
AFAIK, play tests like this one don't always use the full assets etc, so I wouldn't take it as a definitive indicator of the state of the game. But who knows, you might be right.Leaked playtest footage, the game is clearly still VERY EARLY in development

Anyway, great to see them apparently still going for the goofy vibe, being able to do summersaults etc. I hope it's gonna be a lot of fun, 2 and 3 are legendary games in my book, so just more of that would be great
Already looks like it flows better than Session and Skater XL lmao.Leaked playtest footage, the game is clearly still VERY EARLY in development

Reminds me of Skate 3 which I don't know how to feel about. Obviously early footage so can't really say too much about it right now.
As someone who has done a lot of Playtests yeah they devs typically use an older build (sometimes incredibly old) to test out things because it's typically more stable than their current build so I wouldn't take this footage as gospel of the actual current state of the game.
