What this video shows us is that "organic" entails using an analogue stick to dictate moves rather than the traditional button-bashing.
When SPOnG caught up with Jay Balmer, associate producer on SKATE, he told them:
"Yeah, well we really wanted to bring the actual feeling of skateboarding to life, so from the initial design stages we asked ourselves 'OK what controls do we want to press to recreate the feeling of an ollie?' 'What feels right?' 'What would I want to do to grab the board?' 'What makes sense?'… So, we really developed that organically so it feels right."
The time to play the new Skate game on PS5 and Xbox is approaching, as Full Circle confirms console testing will be arriving next year.
These guys are pretty cringe. Also the look of the new skate looks boring compared to games like Skater XL and Sessions. I'm not a fan of the arcade skate Sims
It won't be pay-to-win and none of the map will be behind a paywall.
I mean it could work. They could easily sell branded cosmetics which could pull in quite a bit of money if done right, but I can't say I'm not a bit disappointed. I'll try it cause I really like the series, but it'll suck if this fails cause I really like the series lol
"If done right" lmao. The only way to do that right is to make them unlockable via in game progression.
If done right they can do it like how Minecraft has done it for years and people don't have an issue with how MC does it. I wanna hate on EA just as much as the next guy, but I'll wait until after they ruin Skate to have a negative opinion on it.
Here's a list of Xbox 360/PS3 games that would be great on the Nintendo Switch (at a modest, reasonable price of course). These games could really flourish if given a new lease on life, introducing a new generation to their greatness.
I'm sure R* knows the Nintendo Switch install base and probably dont really care to port over more R* games to the Nintendo Switch tho i gotta say playing GTA4 & RDR1 on the go on the Nintendo Switch would be dope
I would buy Lollipop Chainsaw, Alice Madness Returns, Enslaved, Splatter House, Brutal Legends, Dante's Inferno, and Dead Space for sure if they were ported to the Switch.
Deus Ex Human Revolution would be a great title to The Holy Grail of All Consoles aka The Nintendo Switch*. Also Haze Remastered, Grand Theft Auto 4 and 5 Remastered, Silent Hill HD Collection, Max Payne 3 Remastered, Call of Duty World At War Remastered, The Orange Box Remastered, Halo Master Chief Collection, Left 4 Dead 1 and 2 Remastered, Metal Gear Solid 4 Remastered, Afro Samurai Remastered, Demons Souls Remastered, Xmen Destiny Remastered, Jack and Daxter Collection, Def Jam Icon Remake, Folklore Remastered, Spiderman Edge of Time Remastered, Persona 5 remastered, the list goes on. (*Best Selling Console of All Time)
Seriously? Isn't it time Nintendo make a Switch successor? I mean they have the sales and money.
This is what I've wanted in terms of a skateboarding game since THPS went sour after the 4th iteration.
I want to have to learn my tricks rather than just press a few buttons to do it. I used to skate (for real) and learning how to ollie is actually the toughest skill for a fresh skater to master but the THPS games told wannabe skaters that it was as easy as pressing the X button, the THPS series brought along new skaters (Which was good) that got frustrated because it was harder than they previously thought.
"Go on, do a double hardflip", one said. "Ummm, alright, sure" another said, and went about breaking his ankle trying to pull it off first time all because it looked easy on a game.
Hopefully Skate will be the true game representation of real life skating, rather than THPS:PG.
I agree it is a great step but I have to say that this title will probably get lost amongst some power houses. That is unfortuate.
The tricks one can make using the thumbsick seems endless.
Kudos for EA
...But that video aint new.
