If a new company got hold of the skate series for skate 4...

[Ayreon]

Rockstar makes amazing games and they would do a good job but they dont really make sports games.

I'd rather it not be THQ cause they are just an EA clone.

2k is pretty good tho. they make a lot of sports games.

[Shark Bait]

I agree with pawn. Anything they give me, I'll play. And if rockstar did do it, I'd imagine it'd be pretty.. weird at first. Like with the camera angles and stuff.

[Roke]

GTA IV has better skate spots than all of the Skates combined.

Quoted for excessive truth.

I think everyone says Rockstar because of the cities, mainly GTA. Couldn't see them being involved in a Skate game though.

I remember a looooooong time ago someone said something about the flick it system being copyrighted to EA. I'd say that was bullshit but what do I know.

I wouldn't mind who brought out a new Skate game. As long as it involves the flick it system and the animations and city have that OG feel. And if EA come back in a year or 2 with Skate 4 in mind, they need to take 2 steps backwards, and look at what made OG so popular and still so highly rated within the community. They could just re release OG with tweaks (walking, adv free cam etc.) and I'd be happy.

But knowing EA, they'd probably find a way to fuck that up...

Idc who would as long as we get the game I'd be happy.

I would want the Flick It system kept though, an open world city like San Van, Day/Night Cycle, More customizable clothes and shoes and some new tricks. I have said we could all make it, but that maybe hard.

[BannerBoy360]

it would be cool if fluckit or likebutter actually lasted until this possible game is made.

[EternalRewind]

Rockstar + Z-Axis

[NotedDerk]

Bethesda.

I believe the NAME "flickit" FOR the system was copyrighted. Otherwise Stoked would've been sued for sure.

[Braddock420]

Why does it have to be Skate. 4?

Why can't someone new just make a skateboarding game?

Agreed. The name could be Carve, with skate parks, street and some slalom longboard racing.... just a thought

Rockstar can suck flaccid donkey cock.
They shelved Thrasher after it got beat out by THPS.
Thrasher came out a month before THPS with zero advertising.
THPS came out with a well-known face for the game and mega advertising.
Rockstar is the ones who screwed the pooch on it and tried to blame the shortcomings on Z-Axis Ltd.
So, they sat on the Thrasher license and put all their money into GTA.

Right now I'm banking on THPS stealing the Skate template for next years release.

If I could pick a dev team it would be THQ Digital Phoenix (Formerly Rainbow Studios) which is the team that did Mat Hoffman's Pro BMX 2.
They are the main team I think would put in the effort for a sport we all love.
Beenox (Activision team in Quebec who did Spiderman: Shattered Dimensions) would be another great dev team.
They are a great bunch of guys and very talented. Did some raiding with them in WoW as they are all geeks for it as well.
