Skate gets a review from IGN and scores big.
EA has introduced fully functional microtransactions in the Closed Alpha for its upcoming free-to-play title, Skate.
What do you mean by "more money"? It's a free-to-play game. No one paid anything to be in the closed beta. All purchases made during the closed beta will be converted back to in-game currency for players to re-use however they wish after launch.
More money than what EA is giving them to make the game. Didn't think id have to spell it out. How's about they finish the damn game first before asking people to dump money into it. It's not like they need the cashflow to get across the finish line, it's EA not some indie studio, or crowdfunded project
Or maybe it's a playtest and they want to play test the store to make sure it works before launching. Because if they launched the game and the store was broke you'd all be making silly comment about that. "tHeY dIdn'T eVeN TeSt ThE sToRe bEfoRe lAunCh."
Is anyone really surprised? This is the same company that once considered charging for every time you reload your weapon in Battlefield. These guys are the worst.
Microtransactions in EA Skate include bundles worth up to 20 US Dollars, with in-game credits apparently being difficult to earn.
EA announced the new Skate game is headed to consoles and PC next year.
what a coincidence... just the other day T Hawk was said to be in talks with Activision for a revival as well. I swear, EA and Activision have spies among their ranks. CoD info begets Battlefield info just as T Hawk begets Skate.
PS3 got an 8.8 and the 360 got a 9.0.The PS3 version got jaggies and of course its specialty, FRAMERATE PROBLEMS.
for another sure-fire AAA title, Boomshakalaka!!
LOL...again.
Dirt is better on PS3 and yet they graded it the same, i don't know what to say, i am pretty neutral in terms of respecting both consoles. Pro Sony sure, i owned all the sony systems, but never anti-others...but i am sort of towards Anti-IGN a little now; if you don't call this biased, i really don't know what is.
Without bashing any console. It is EA, I read their comments about their PS3 developement. And this is just more proof of it.
I will probably never own this game, I lost intrest in skateboarding games after Tony Hawks 4.
EA are getting worse, first it was annual updates to games. Now its lazy programming. The worse part is fanboys are claiming victory because of this. Instead they should be anti-EA, because do they think that when next years sports titles or Skate 2 comes out it will be any different from this years? A few tweeks and then ship it.
