Remember when EA refiled its Skate trademark last year? It's been abandoned. Again.
The latest Skate The Board Room episode unveils a wealth of new tricks that can deployed all around San Vansterdam in Full Circle's Skate 3 successor.
Skate 4 developer Full Circle debunks leaks and rumours surrounding the game in the latest Board Room episode, putting an end to the notion of loot boxes.
Data mine reveals a new loot box mechanic present in the new Skate game in the form of "Swag Bags", which is basically randomized clothing.
Well they have called them 'Surprise Mechanics' in the past. So, uh, SURPRISE!!
I’m just saying you’re getting mad about a “but-but they said no lootboxes” when they just announced it was free to play lmao. That’s even worse!
@SourOG; I think many of us would rather pay 60 bucks and get access to a full SP game, being able to unlocks all items, instead of being stuck in some open world city with hundreds of strangers where we would do chores and grind to get some random items, or pay money to obtain them. I guess this open world city will have real-life ads (billboards) and product-placement and sponsorship deals as well.
As a single-player, I simply have zero interest in stuff like ‘ooooh, the community’.
@yi
Myself included lol. People misunderstood me, I do not want f2p lol. I don’t mind real life branding and sponsorships, that’s a big part of pro skating. I don’t mind online but if I want to play against others it should be my choice. I’d rather it be:
- go to a “spot”
- choose to go online for that spot, choose solo, or choose co-op
Otherwise I don’t want anyone in my game. An NPC or 2 is okay lol.
Stuff like genshin impact is definitely games*, and you really don’t have to *buy* loot boxes.. despite the economy depending on them.
*not saying they’re good or bad but a lot of people enjoy them.
Exactly lol. People are “sleuths have detected lootboxes in the code. They said they wouldn’t but we found it!” Bro, it’s f2p… I could have told you that without looking at the code lmao.
There isn't a rule book that states F2P games have to have gambling mechanics. Path of Exile is F2P and it doesn't have slot machines.
You can't hide from the internet, because eventually they will know...EA got caught with their pants down once again.
They're gonna do the loot boxes until the entire populace just gets sick of it and it implodes in their faces.
Of course when did EA ever cared about what consumer wants?
I'm not one for sticking up for EA, but there are a ton of game studios around, what is stopping them from creating a skateboard game?
Wrong. Proven false almost immediately after this was thrown out there yesterday.
The perfect time to have started development for Skate 4 would've been when Skate 3 was gaining popularity again due to Pewds. One of my favorite series from EA it's a shame it's owned by EA lol
That sucks Skate was one of the best games ever definitely fond memories of playing that. Probably for the best though as I'm sure EA would ruin it with monetization anyway.
