this is still happening. go spam them: https://www.instagram.com/ea/
exactly. thats why this spam bullshit doesn't even have me excited in the least. where were all these spammers when the skate games were being made? if they had better sales numbers they wouldnt have fired blackbox and we might have a skate 5 on ps4 and x1 right now. everybody on the Internet wants to pretend theyre all about skate just because its gone, when they probably never even played any of them.
edit: the ONLY way id even want skate 4 is if blackbox made it
I really did like what blackbox was doing and even when the game was completely unrealistic it still fed my need to skate.
Part of me does wonder what might've happened if someone else was driving though.
The blackbox team doesn't have any members as of now and before then it had less than when it was first put together.
A new team sounds the most likely to me if the series were to ever make a comeback.
Seeing how it's on EA and well, I could be wrong but don't picture them buddying up with who they already put out of jobs.

no shit. that's why fuck ea. if they DO put out a skate 4 (which i think is less likely than a new Thrasher coming out) it will be aimed at the tony hawk market because realistic skating games don't sell well enough to put money and resources into. why would they bother when they can churn out another game with easy controls that people already know how to play and a game framework that's based on the standard accruing of points? people need to be rewarded with something and pulling off nice tricks doesn't satisfy that need for most people, and the harder it is to earn retarded amounts of points, through an exploitable game mechanic or just a formulaic strategy of play, the less people like the game.
I mean, anyone know the numbers for sales on tony hawk anyway?
I didn't think it did well as it had some people who bought it saying how bad it was.
I just can't imagine skate coming back and me hating it..
It would take some pretty hard work to ruin what blackbox already laid down.
Awesome control scheme, Difficulties to play with, props, park editor, custom graphics.
If it comes back make them build on that. I wouldn't care what the city was like if it meant something even close to a skate 4 ya know?
Interested in theories though..
If a new team took on skate, where would they go?
What would blackbox have done next?
I can't answer for either without making assumptions.
oh and, speaking of EA sports, I don't know if you guys have seen NBA Live but it plays pretty realistically.
Golf is pretty realistic too, I don't know why you assumed they would create a tony hawk game when tony hawk ain't doin shit.
Hell I remember Cuz saying They were tasked with making a Tony Hawk Killer. So it would need to be better than it.

Sorry bud, but NBA Live is pretty trash. You can score every rush by just walking into the paint. There's a reason 2K is focusing so much on NBA, they're actually stomping EA on a sports game. Live just looks visually better because EA's budget is absolutely unreal.
The last couple PGA games were some of the worst in *years* for EA, too.
That being said, there's no denying that if it weren't for Hardcore mode, Skate 3 would be indisputably more arcadey bullshit (hell, look at how stupid the map is half the time), and I fear if they tried to push the franchise further it'd just go off the deep end on that route.

Anyone can score easily if they know the game, 2K is just as easy to manipulate.. but now that I think about it again, why even assume EA Sports would take it on and not another team like Blackbox?
I guess EA Sports could try to make it more official, in turn making it into something way less about skateboarding. What I picture is something along the lines of an X Games Skateboarding Game.
Just thinking that because I don't know if I've ever seen EA Sports take on "unofficial" sports.
Part of me wonders if that's why Blackbox was even put on in the first place..
Oh, so it's got some X Games elements to it? Okay, that's a real competitive sport, lets try it.
exactly this !!!! most of the skate community still refuses to buy the dlc even today . people act like ea skate is a bigger cash cow than call of duty , but skate 3 sold really poorly at his prime . and most of the kids who want skate 4 now is because of the LAME lets play hype and mainly want to play hall of meat .. but i would say blackbox is not the only company who is able to make a proper skate game . but it would take years for them to get to the point where blackbox stoped ..
