ive spent at least a half a year on skate 3 alone. its the game i played when im bored. i honestly cant think of ANY other game id playfor 4 hours stright not doiung anyting but playing and not get bored. only time i usually stray away from skate is when people invite me to other less interesting games( battlefield not included).
IM A BOSS ASS BITCH
I cant knock this idea, better than nothing.
While you're at it, might as well ask Lil Wayne. [From a marketing standpoint]: His latest persona is down for all things skateboarding; doing something like this would be great for all involved.
And to the DIKs: I got my box back, I'm filming for sure!

So what´s the news? Someone is trying to do something with Rob Dyrdek?
Let the good times roll !
Maybe this is right though.. maybe we need to take action as a community on our own. Get the old blackbox crew back together, kickstart enough money to get them setup in their own place, no deadline for sequels, we gotta try? Official Skate Rebirth kickstarter project?
Rob Dyrdek won't invest in anything that won't make a profit. EA stopped making skate because it declined in sales from OG to 2 to 3 (which is mostly due to the decine in quality because of the restricted turn around time.)
As much as I want another skate game, I doubt it will happen unless it goes the way of Shredsauce/BMX The Game and its developed by an indie dev with a kickstarter for funding.
A true skateboarding SIM is a pretty niche type of game so I doubt a major developer & publisher would be keen to take it on, where as games like THPS are more arcade and appeal to a broader audience because of how much easier it is to do crazy tricks, hence why most skateboarding games go this route.
My hope is we can get a community funded, for PC skate sim (having a game on pc makes everything easier, i.e. doing stuff like level editing and custom textures, also MODs.) whereas developing for consols is much more restrictive, time consuming and expensive.
ya a skate sim would be fucking amazing on pc
Buut i am not familiar with pc that much...

Maybe we also should think about other persons or brands to ask. Im thinking about Thrasher for example. They may have some money to spend into this and we can do them free ads with videos.
