I just had an idea.

[Dead_Head]

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!

We'll never know until we try... Dyrdek is an oldschool guy, maybe that he still has this oldschool skateboarding brotherhood spirit. I'm more affraid by the fact that its just a video game so we may look a bit kiddish with this request

[Noodlezer]

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.

Rob Dyrdek is more of an investor though, I don't see him just dumping money into an idea like a new skateboarding game. The only way I'd see him throwing down any money is if the game was already in production with a full development team and so on.

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.
