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...

One of the only good thibg with microsoft is that you can plug your Xbox controller on a PC, it would just be perfect for skate!
Let the good times roll !
yah there are also plenty of xbox or ps3 controller clones out there for pc
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.
So just collaborating ideas here, 1. Contact Cuz(???) 2.Try to get BlackBox back together(??????) 3. Start kickstarter(?????????) 4. Production(????????????) 5. Rob Dydrek donates(???????????????)
Now the chances of any of these happening is next to none, some more than others, but hell it's some sort of guideline.
If only Kazunori Yamauchi was into skateboarding, and not cars.
We'd have a pretty good fucking sim then. lul
If it were like that, Bladderboy probably wouldnt have his new site. more lul
