G4TV Hands-On Preview: Skate 2 Maloof Money Cup DLC

G4TV writes: "The folks at Electronic Arts are trying something unique with the next piece of downloadable content for Skate 2… they are going to release a true-to-life skate park modeled after the actual park that will be used in the upcoming Maloof Money Cup, kicking off on July 10th in Costa Mesa, California.

The DLC version of the park is meticulously modeled after its real world counterpart and this isn't a good thing. For $3 (240 MS Points) you'll get a mostly empty arena, four co-op challenges, and two singpleplayer competitions. Oh, and Xbox 360 owners will get access to 250 more gamerpoints."

The 7 Best Skateboarding Games

Since the mid-90s, skateboarding games have remained a popular past time. But which are the best skateboarding games?

MasterChief3624271d ago

There is no way in hell they put the cover of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 5 as the thumbnail for "best skateboarding games." Good Lord.

ChiefofLoliPolice271d ago

Not the game that needs to be the thumbnail.

ChiefofLoliPolice271d ago

Oh dear God the OG TH games are amazing. THUG 1 2 and THAW were badass. It's hard to pick. The EA Skate games were amazing too especially Skate 3.

Never got the chance to play Session or Skate XL but I want to try.

As far as classics...the THUG games and Pro 4 were my favs. I still play those games on my OG Xbox to this day!

Abear21270d ago

Smh still no Skate on PlayStation 4 or 5. All these new budget skateboarding games are glitched trash. The new Skate will be good, but nothing will give me that crazy feeling like OG skate demo, that was a revelation

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

Knightofelemia651d ago

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.

Mobis-New-Nest651d ago

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)

Can we just get a Bully 2? 😒

iplay1up2651d ago

Seriously? Isn't it time Nintendo make a Switch successor? I mean they have the sales and money.

Game awards skate gameplay? I’d be hyped. All I’ve asked for over the years from EA is a skate sequel and a dead space 1 remaster. If they nail these games me and EA are cool. Clean slate, no hate. Do they make really dumb moves all too often? Yes. But It’s not like they are activision blizzard.

Michiel1989889d ago

throw in battle for middle-earth 1-2 remastered with multiplayer servers running and im game

sourOG889d ago

For those games you would clean the slate with EA you mean?

I said I’d never forgive them for what they did to visceral and black box but the visceral guys are making a “dead space” sequel anyway and they are free from EA. And a skate is being made. If they ruin dead space 1 I will never forgive them lmao. If they bang these out with fire? Even Steven.

Michiel1989888d ago

there is no cleaning the slate with EA anymore (in the short term), but bfme 1 and 2 are some of my favorite games of all time, I just want to play them online again with a decently sized playerbase. Ive been hoping for a remaster for these games for years now, but WB has the lotr license now, so there is basically no chance of it happening.

Profchaos889d ago

On the same day they announced backwards compatibility ouch

Servbot41889d ago

Leave it to EA to be completely tone deaf morons.

AnotherGamer889d ago

Wow wut, but they announced backward compatibility just today.

Amplitude889d ago (Edited 889d ago )

lol what a hilarious day to announce this

Props to them for keeping them up as long as they did though
