Skate 4

[eastcoastskateboard1]

Okay so basically there are a lot of people asking EA for a new skate game. Which we all know more than likely won't happen. A lot of people don't know about the last issue of Like Butter that had that interview with Cuz. So my idea was to make a video explaining all of this. My main reason for making this post was to ask if someone could post a link to the last issue of LB and if someone could provide some more info about why skate 4 won't come out.

Never saw that. That was a cool write-up I miss the heckle sesh's of old.

But if we get a couple hundred people to tweet to ea at the same time, they just might consider it! - Pancakes

Just send a message to albert he knows all about skate 4 ;)

[emericaridr11]

guys..... Coast is now on Rise Skating..... and Im guessing that is why he is asking us, so he can tell Albert

or maybe its more for him (coast) in general, but Im assuming its for Rise
RISE ABOVE!!

[eastcoastskateboard1]

it was mainly for me to do on my own -_-

[NotedDerk]

As long as you don't spread lies and deceive others for your own profit, more power to you. Rise could use some credibility to reverse what Albert has stained into it's name.
(Still a ridiculous team name though.)

[EmmitBrown]

if ea puts out another skate. ill have to pass. im done with ea, ubisoft, and a few others (maybe rockstar 0_0 )

i hope an indie dev fills the void.

[momadaddy]

yacht club and devolver digital ftw! i'd buy a new .skate in a fucking second though. nothing but wet dreams if you ask me. wait 3 or so years and we might see one. i have a feeling they will treat it like ssx

[momadaddy]

p.s. if we are talking about great devs you cant get any better than platinum and from soft

[TheIronz]

I wonder why none of the Dev's are members here, even if it was to dip in every year or so, would love to have a session with some of them.

[saunders420]

weird the forum is down er something, the skate 4 conspiracy thread...

Thats pretty cool, but mostly a easter egg/homage to BB since they are OG NFS Developers, I could be wrong but I think I'm golden on that assumption.

hope for a skate 4, it will be amazing. Whatever happened to BluntLabs, if anyone remembers that, the site stopped getting updates. unfortunately. hopefully something came of that.

[momadaddy]

blunt labs looked like one of those mobile flick style games. although he had it running on a controller. dude is a ghost now. skate 3 videos still make it to the top of the yt gaming section from time to time. i have hope for the future. distant as it might be

[TheIronz]

I think there will be a 4. It might not be Skate 4, it might not be the same movements for the tricks, but at the very least it will be a spiritual successor.

Hi Kids, you like Violence?

[Antwan]

Skate 4.. Oh man.. That time again?
Well, alot of EA games with customization seem to share the sticker idea.
Skate logos are in numerous games with the EA handle.
I don't think they're hinting to anything.
Such a renown company operating in the dark after dismissing the spark of the skate franchise seems pretty silly too.
I would say it's more likely Tony hawk makes a comeback than a skate 4.

[momadaddy]

thps 5 is a thing that's happening

[Antwan]

thps 5 is a thing that's happening
Woah, that escalated quickly.
The Tony hawk games always deliver and the animations are pretty sweet.
Especially those tricks you can pull off in vert.
I just wish they would revamp the controller use.
I don't see how EA can copyright the joysticks anyway.
Teams often with no affiliation to one another drop in with an fps experiment.
Which always use the left and right joysticks.

[EmmitBrown]

thrasher had a control scheme as good as skate. thps problem is you ollie and then decide what trick u want to do. makes no sense.

[NotedDerk]

thps 5 is a thing that's happening

Too bad it's being developed by Robomodo, since Neversoft is completely gone. The geniuses behind ride and shred and the hd remake.
I hope it's great, but with their past record, don't expect it to be. Robomodo needs to bring in whatever is left of the Neversoft team to help them make this game.

[severmore]

http://www.gameinformer.com/b/features/archive/2015/05/05/tony-hawk-returns-exclusive-first-look.aspx
I hope this inspires EA (or someone else) to revisit the Skate series. A remaster for next gen would be nice, at the very least.

[bengrover]

i have a feeling they will treat it like ssx

God I hope not. Tricky is one of my all time favourite games, but that reboot in what 2012 was just awful.

Pro Skater 5 will have to suffice. Its not going to be the PS we remember and love, at least I can't imagine it will be due to lack of Neversoft. The screens did remind me of when we first saw skate, but Im not even as close to as hopeful as I was for OG. Stick a replay editor in and it'll keep me entertained longer.

[NotedDerk]

I still feel obligated to check it out, even though I know the remake robomodo was bad and this will be as well, it's still a new skateboarding game.

If you want pure nostalgia for THPS though, Thug Pro is a must better alternative.

[Antwan]

I don't know guys, could go either way yeah?
Not familiar with this new company taking over THPS but They dismissed blackbox and we still talk about a skate 4.
Having someone else thinking outside the box just might be a fresh start.
It could be mediocre at best but it is something new.
A park creator, American wasteland's customization and a new intuitive control scheme would probably be my dream TH game personally.

[EmmitBrown]

...They dismissed blackbox and we still talk about skate 4.

that's why i don't want to see a skate. 4

as far as thps, i really doubt we'll see anything legitimately different from the previous games. it's a franchise and they're just ringin the register. we need a new ip to actually get what we want. the problem is the things i want in a skating game don't seem to sell well enough to warrant adequate budgets and sequels. we got lucky with Skate. ...we got lucky 3 times in a row.

[NotedDerk]

Not familiar with this new company taking over THPS but They dismissed blackbox and we still talk about a skate 4.

Some of us are familiar with Robomodo, and played the THPS HD game they created. It was a nice attempt, but didn't feel like a true THPS title at all.
It's possible they did re-vamp everything to better suit to what Neversoft created, but it's not likely. I hope they will prove me wrong though.

Also, who is 'they' that bad mouthed blackbox when og was on it's way? I never heard a single person talk poorly about it.

[i am a snail]

i read the write-up polygon did of thps5 and it gave me severe whiplash https://scontent-iad.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xpa1/v/t1.0-9/11223868_555175397954763_944195842539614357_n.jpg? oh=a8b6dc3e4a7619d6475bc1cf20627d48&oe=55D529DF

[saunders420]

lol I cant believe this company. reading that quote made me furious. shame on Activision for publishing this and capitalizing off it once again. EA needs to make a move before the S3 buzz dies off. Make some money lol


bengrover, do you recall when THseries tried to implement a replay editor, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XLbehAQ51QM

they went in with it. overwhelming to say the least when OG was so simple to understand. both released around the same time.

[Antwan]

Oh were they behind THPS HD? Cool.
Yeah, not sure an HD reboot is a fair project to start assumptions over.
Not what I was saying at all man..
Certain members left blackbox on their own at first, correct me if I'm wrong but up to now this is my understanding. Blackbox was still a team, the team ended up getting the boot because sales fell short with Skate 3. Point being, they were dismissed by EA after skate 3 and just like this Tony hawk pro skater 5 situation there is a new team on the project. I was just saying a skate 4 is likely going to be another team if In the unlikely scenario a skate 4 did come out.

That quote is pretty funny, Trying to remember when shooting projectiles happened haha..
I can't recall though, want to say there was a kind of mini game in two player where you would "tag" eachother. It has been a while for me and that series though, shot in the dark.

You're thinking of Firefight I believe. Also THUG 2 had projectiles in some of the stages, so eh.
I'm with Derk though, an HD reboot is *definitely* fair to start assumptions over, because that's 100% a test to see how well they can maintain the feel of Tony Hawk games of the past. They were literally handed level design and assets from the old games, and then fucked up the only thing they had left to do themselves: the physics. That's the single most important thing in any skateboarding game, arcade or simulator alike. If they can't get that right, there's no reason to trust them on anything else. Not to mention they also did Ride which was an absolute nightmare, and then decided to bother with a sequel that was literally no better than the first.

[EmmitBrown]

projectiles are pretty fun in some games

See what you're saying, just don't know that I've seen an HD reboot with a significant change in how the game plays. Can you mention any off the top of your head? From what I've seen developers tend to just make the game look better, don't really tweak the play to a noticeable extent. Nostalgia being the main reasoning. Can't vouch for ride, interesting to know they were the team for that.
If you think about it though, these days the future of development comes down to a simple question.
Is it on last gen consoles? Even high up developers today dumb down the possibilities by making a last gen version and porting over to current gen, maybe adding more visual detail but for the most part not really pushing it. That being said maybe I have given some leeway where it shouldn't be.
I don't imagine it will be a current gen exclusive, so there's our answer for graphics. It won't be anything like skate so there's gameplay. I will always long for something even remotely similar to skate's controls, but sticking to the past as they say, Expect some arcade shit. Doesn't mean we can't find use in it though.

Hmm.. Hum.. Hmm..

[PoppySquidJr]

You're thinking of re-releases. This was a reboot, the game was rebuilt using old designs and the IP, what you're thinking of is HD re-releases where they beef up the textures and maybe fix up a few models. THPS HD was a ground-up rebuilding using the level designs and intellectual properties of the THPS games of the past. The problem is, they did it poorly. The physics were really bad compared to older tony hawk games, and the game felt really trashy in comparison.

The problem with Robomodo is that they're going about these games the wrong way. Tony Hawk Pro Skater was a labor of love to skateboarding, but it wasn't really a skateboarding game. It was an arcade platformer with a skateboarding theme. Robomodo is trying to make arcade skateboarding games with a video game "theme," leading to awkward gameplay physics, a lack of focus, and instead on trying to go back to basics, they worry about shit like powerups to make up for it. I honestly can't blame them for trying with THPSHD, it's clear that there was effort put into it, it just wasn't good.

[EmmitBrown]

Luft couldn't have summed it up any better, if I wasn't a moron when it came to explaining, it would have been completely identical to what he said.

Ok, that makes sense. Fair enough.
You know just a couple of years ago Tony Hawk's Pro skater was the simulation skateboarding game.
I think our views have shifted from what it is to what it isn't.
It was one the reasons I started skating in real life.
Motion captured animations, free play, there's still a certain freedom in how you play the game. All of these games out today have some sort of restriction but it really boils down to how you use that freedom to make things you like possible, you often find things you didn't know you would like too.
This is why I'm so drawn to skateboarding games, it's so much like skating it's insane.
Control scheme, physics, all debatable personal preference based on current technology.
Granted it might be the old fanboy in me but I believe that using what you have still holds true.

Yea, using what you have is good and well, but the argument here is that Robomodo isn't gonna make anything better than what we have. If you want Tony Hawk style gameplay, THUG Pro (thanks for mentioning it Derk, it's killer) is probably the best thing out there (and even without mods, every TH game except for Ride and Shred are better than HD if you ask me), and there's no real reason to believe Robomodo is going to do better with THPS5. If you want real sim stuff to work with, well, we still have the 3 Skate games to work with. I'd *like* to be proven wrong by Robomodo and get another actually good THPS game, I just don't expect it, and it's a valid complaint when a sequel isn't expected to be as good as its predecessors.

[joemarDT]

(My thoughts, fight me later at the playground after school if you disagree, unless you're a L7 Weenie!)...

Late to the discussion, but yea EA Skate 4 is not going to happen.

I feel that EA doesn't even support EA Skate franchise anymore because of their big marketing games (Battlefield and upcoming Star Wars BattleFront), and if they did, we would've gotten an EA Skate game by 2012 or even 2011.

What most people from the YouTube side of ea skate community are not understanding that EA needs developers to create games. Even though EA could've easily hire people to create another EA Skate game, but didn't and want to focus on other games that have bigger names. Yea we can have big names out there to send a message to EA, but no luck and it's all in EA to do whatever they want to do. I personally don't care and if they did make another ea skate game, cool I'll play it.

It would be a huge turn around if EA relaunched the EA Skate community website, not likely going to happened.

If EA were to make another skateboarding, guarantee it won't be like the EA Skate Franchise, or who knows. Does EA even own the rights for stick controls of skateboarding lol?

In other words, I don't care if a skate 4 is going to happen (not likely) it's whatever EA decides to do with EA Skate. I stopped playing it because I honestly felt bored of it and want to play new games that I can actually have fun in (personal opinion, fight me.) I just want to play THPS 5 and feel nostalgic while playing it and 100% that bitch!

Exactly, don't ever believe a thing he says. You can check out the site of that ben guy at http://www.torahhorse.com/
Why would EA give him creative control? I'm not ragging on the guy for his work, but Skate 4 would be a MUCH LARGER project then any indie game.

Just wait until someone with more concrete credentials comes along and says it's on it's way, or just blow it off like any other retarded announcement Albert makes on a constant basis.

[Radish]

I'm not ragging on the guy for his work, but Skate 4 would be a MUCH LARGER project then any indie game.

That's gold.

[NotedDerk]

I'd love to tweet back to him about the grow up part, but he wouldn't learn anything and that would give him attention.
I'll just cherish the fact that this ben guy got his panties wet and then left him on his period, thank you ben. <3

[Antwan]

Fuck all that other shit.
Let's start really thinking here.
What we know is Tony Hawk wants to promote skating as much as possible, on every platform, any media.
This suggests more time for the franchise to attempt games.
Now, What if Tony Hawk obtained the trademarks/copyrights etc through EA for Skate and Flick it?
Obviously you have to hire the old blackbox team back again.
Even if it failed it would be an awesome opportunity to get shit rolling again.
Tell me that a professional skater wouldn't want that project.
There's a fluckin idea.

[BladderBoy]

Feel free to quote or paraphrase any info from the Cuz article. But if it gets published on YT as "Albert's Interview With Cuz" I will be so fucking mad that I will return to this thread and express disapproval. I swear to god I'll fucking do it. Don't test me.

[momadaddy]

cuz is too cool

Cheers, still a good read too.
Still have to wonder if they would hop back on board no pun intended if it meant keeping the franchise going.
Another interview BB?

Here's one I just came across a few days ago if you guys haven't seen it yet
http://www.redbull.com/us/en/games/stories/1331679277375/skate-video-game-retrospective

[lww]

I doubt we'll see anything for a long time. The guy who did project blank has gone quiet which is a huge shame, hopefully he's not been taken out by EA's mafia.

If there was going to be a new skate, the guys need to aim for this, which is what I imagine the original developers wanted the franchise to end up like.

https://youtu.be/v0hzuOPKnNg

[Antwan]

Hey, give them as much time as they need just let it happen.
My point is that we have more available to us, more we can do to make something happen.
We might just be reaching out the the wrong people.
I honestly have no idea what would happen if Tony Hawk took over Skate.
I don't know if he even can but everything starts as an idea.
I believe that video has been shared Everytime we've talked about skate 4.
I'm not any less stoked about skateboarding simulation possibilities in seeing it either.
I've done everything in my power to share those types of projects too.
Project Blank, BMX the game, I had all of my friends on board.
I'm just trying to figure where these types of projects can get some real financial backing.
If you guys really want something to happen then let's brainstorm.
We've broken the game time and time again to suit our styles.
Contributed some fresh ideas to the series, we are some smart motherfuckers!

Starting point;
A list of Major people and game development companies

Part 2;
Sifting through for more suitable parties

And so on.
Granted there's no promises here, but are we just going to sit and wait?

[lww]

Same. I don't think that we'd be able to get anyone else to do it, but surely we have enough people on this forum who are on the same page as us to start something ourselves.

For starters then, what game engines are out there that would be good for a next gen skate game?

[Antwan]

Current gen you mean?
I'm not sure on that one. I think they are still figuring things out.
I don't mean a kickstarter either, forget that completely.
I mean, if we as a community were to dream up a skate 4 scenario
What would that mean? Would it be story driven? Would it be a huge sandbox environment with no loading?
Sky's the limit. Here's a few contenders for developers.
They are all that came to mind for me.

2K Sports
Bandai Namco
Rockstar Games
Capcom

I know we've poked fun at rockstar games making a skate something but
What if they really did? Like a dramatic cut scene fucking sandbox story driven game?
It would give them reasons to think about architecture differently, sculpt a unique city.
Just shit like this! I would love to hear thoughts about these companies or any other potentials.
Think freely.

[pawnluvguitarist]

Hey Antwan, Rockstar made Thrasher. I know I'd be down for a next gen version.

[PoppySquidJr]

Hey Antwan, Rockstar made Thrasher. I know I'd be down for a next gen version.

I was corrected on this before, Rockstar didn't make thrasher, they published it. Z-Axis developed it

Thrasher and Grind Session miss them old time feelings

[Antwan]

Well if rockstar published it someone should convince them to hire on a new team and publish another one haha.
Blackbox? Hmm hmm? Its a funny thought but they did say they got inspiration from skate.
I have no issue with any developer attempting a skateboarding simulation something.
So long as they do their research. Reboots of those old games would be interesting.
I've never played grind session or skate n destroy sadly.
Still looks like there's some nice ideas there.
It was pure tony hawk for me until og skate.
I want to get some old game systems again though so I'll keep an eye out for those.
I always wanted to try Dave Mirra when I was younger and had to settle for the Matt Hoffman demo.
I might've missed out on other games if I had those simulation titles though.
Considering how much time I've spent on skate haha.

[EmmitBrown]

z-axis developed it, and then became part of activision blizzard and changed their name to underground development and then went defunct in 2010. i dont know who holds rights to a game (devs, pubs, distributors or a combo move), but if z-axis had any, and activision acquired them with their acquisition of z-axis, then id say it's trapped in limbo never to be made again. :(


edit: and yeah emerica i loved that game. lake tahoe was my favorite but they were all good tracks. remember you could run over chickens and stuff?! hahaha

hell yeah your welcome

[Antwan]

Had a few minutes, thought this would be a nice change of pace.
This is the first time I've thought about it so my list is pretty short.
Skate 4 tricks, what would we add? Go!

Primos

Start a fliptrick and darkcatch halfway through rotation while close to the surface of an object or on flatground.
Won't work if you have too much height.
If you have enough momentum you can manipulate the spin of the board while on its side for a short time using the left stick.

No comply flip tricks

Plant your foot and flick the right stick in the motion of the fliptrick you want a no comply variation of.
Hard to say how this should work..
I imagine it being a fast flick to make it happen.

Hippie Jump 50-50s
Just have it less likely that you'll bail out trying these, but still have to work for it.
These tricks are instant bails in real grind scenarios currently.

Fliptrick footplants
Use the preferred trigger to catch the fliptrick and plant a foot.
Less likely to bail out if done right.

Cannonballs
Start a nose or tail grab, while still holding that first trigger and doing the first grab, do the reverse and hold the other trigger.

Sal-flips
This one sounds tricky but I love this trick.
While rolling, get off the board but at the same time flick the right stick in a hardflip motion. Blaow!

Our best option currently for getting EA to do anything Skate related is to vote on those Xbox One backwards compatibility polls. Skate is doing well and has a SHIT TON of comments, however the more, the better. It would let them know that hey, there is a market for your game and a market that has adopted next-gen consoles.

As for Rockstar, we have already contacted the head of Rockstar and he expressed his love for Thrasher and skateboarding in general, but didn't sound very into a skateboarding game. They've got their cash cows, you know.

Skate was a perfect formula. A new game coming along and trying to do what Skate accomplished would probably result in a disappointment and that could harm what we actually want even more because other developers would look at a skateboarding game that flops and just steer clear of the genre after.

Showing our interest as customers is the best option. Throwing ideas out for content, trying to hit up other developers, and all that is probably going to do nothing. Skate was huge for a while, it's on people's radar and if other developers see us hooting' n hollerin' for another Skate then someone else might come along and try to grab the market. I dunno...

Tony Hawk is trying to cash in on THPS, not skateboarding in general. He can talk about his love for skateboarding and bringing it to a game, but that's just bullshit PR talk. People who enjoy THPS enjoy it for what it is, not because it involves skateboarding. Those people are already expressing their disinterest with the new THPS as well... it looks AWFUL, especially for a next-gen game. I have a feeling it may be the nail in the coffin for the THPS series anyways.

PS: Albert can fuck the fuck off. What a POS.

Wow have not been on here in a while. Personally I don't like how THPS 5 looks for a next gen game looks but im just happy to see a new skateboarding game. As for another skateboarding game I cant help but think it is going to be a street league game.

Why are we still making topics about Skate 4? Seems rather pointless..

[momadaddy]

this thread is tldr. i want to but dont have the patients. maybe one day

[Antwan]

I don't see what the big deal is haha.
Skate is skate.. Talk of the current games or skate 4.
I just wondered where you all saw skate going next if it were continued (tomorrow)
It was just general curiosity and I thought those things would be interesting to think about.
They are for me anyways.
How can you want a skate sim if you don't know what skate sim you want?

Sorry to derail the thread, but does anyone know if the Streets of San Fransisco park on page 75 of that magazine is still available? It looks amazing!
