      There couldn't be a more perfect example of jumping the shark than skate 3.

      they did it with grace, skate 3 is a great game despite the microtransactions and mediocre dlc

    skate 1 is by far the best. if it had the ability to get off your board it would be better by an even bigger margin. the rest of the games were cringe physics abuse garbage. kys tricklinegays.

      this. as far as an actual skate game goes, skate 1 was obviously the most grounded, and backed by an all star cast of skate pros, and even somehow wrangled gonz in there despite his distaste for things mainstream. 2 was a good upgrade technologically speaking, but it started going the jackass route by making dirdek basically a main character, and by 3 it's as if the team new they were going to get fricked after making it so they just made it as fun and stupid as possible. sill a good skate game in its own right, but clearly made as more of a "lmao god mode" type game than an actual "you're a no name bum go make your name" type of story like the first game was.

      should've been a new protag every game to help mitigate that but i can't imagine that would've helped 3's weird atmosphere much.

    skate 1 unironically just needed dlcs instead of sequels

    every SKATE 3 clip I see is some homosexual breaking the game like it's thps. people completely missing the point of what the SKATE series is meant to be.

      it's not the players' fault EA made the physics so generous

      Tell that to the devs for making Skate 3 the map a hotwheel track for skateboards. I wanted to have realistic skating and the physics to go with it, not fricking 20 yard long handrails and a city made out of megaramps. And the few real spots like the 3rd and Army copy are unskateable due to how the physics work.

      Isn't that exactly what they are releasing this year? (As a F2P title.)

          I already got my hands on the leak for a bit and what they had of it was a tech demo. Lots of missing textures but pretty decent physics and controls. I think it'll be alright.

            This. It looks pretty much like skate 3 with improvements

            I'm worried about the monetization

              From what I've seen in their press releases they seem to mean that microtransactions are purely cosmetic. They might have also said something along the lines of content being unlocked through gameplay rather than through payment. There's stuff online that they've put out, it contains specifics on complaints like that

                >unlocked through gameplay
                ah yes, grind for 8 months to unlock the mega ramp
                I don't believe for a second that the premium stuff is "purely cosmetic", AAA games have been saying that for 15 years and they're always lying

                Yeah, that's probably likely with EA's track record. just trying to be a bit more generous with my judgement.

                I have no optimism left with EA and, frankly, AAA games in general. The golden standard has been cutting development time/spending in half and making up for it in marketing and aggressive monetization

    I like Skate 1 but not the other two. Nowadays I play Skater XL (Mods). I heard the new Skate game is supposed to free to play, I'm not into it. Probably just going to stick with XL

        I actually think it won't be too bad. My issue is that I hate the free to play model. I'm a bit old school.

        I'm sure they'll lock a ton of challenges and other content behind some season pass as well.
        Hell, I'd be surprised if you could even free skate the entire city without paying money.
