Skate 4
Okay so basically there are a lot of people asking EA for a new skate game. Which we all know more than likely won't happen. A lot of people don't know about the last issue of Like Butter that had that interview with Cuz. So my idea was to make a video explaining all of this. My main reason for making this post was to ask if someone could post a link to the last issue of LB and if someone could provide some more info about why skate 4 won't come out.

Never saw that. That was a cool write-up I miss the heckle sesh's of old.Originally Posted by emericaridr11
But if we get a couple hundred people to tweet to ea at the same time, they just might consider it! - Pancakes

Just send a message to albert he knows all about skate 4
guys..... Coast is now on Rise Skating..... and Im guessing that is why he is asking us, so he can tell Albert
or maybe its more for him (coast) in general, but Im assuming its for Rise
RISE ABOVE!!
it was mainly for me to do on my own -_-

As long as you don't spread lies and deceive others for your own profit, more power to you. Rise could use some credibility to reverse what Albert has stained into it's name.
(Still a ridiculous team name though.)

if ea puts out another skate. ill have to pass. im done with ea, ubisoft, and a few others (maybe rockstar 0_0 )
i hope an indie dev fills the void.
yacht club and devolver digital ftw! i'd buy a new .skate in a fucking second though. nothing but wet dreams if you ask me. wait 3 or so years and we might see one. i have a feeling they will treat it like ssx

I wonder why none of the Dev's are members here, even if it was to dip in every year or so, would love to have a session with some of them.

well don't you know that's how long EA has been working on Skate 4? DURH

weird the forum is down er something, the skate 4 conspiracy thread...
Thats pretty cool, but mostly a easter egg/homage to BB since they are OG NFS Developers, I could be wrong but I think I'm golden on that assumption.
hope for a skate 4, it will be amazing. Whatever happened to BluntLabs, if anyone remembers that, the site stopped getting updates. unfortunately. hopefully something came of that.
blunt labs looked like one of those mobile flick style games. although he had it running on a controller. dude is a ghost now. skate 3 videos still make it to the top of the yt gaming section from time to time. i have hope for the future. distant as it might be

I think there will be a 4. It might not be Skate 4, it might not be the same movements for the tricks, but at the very least it will be a spiritual successor.
Hi Kids, you like Violence?
Skate 4.. Oh man.. That time again?
Well, alot of EA games with customization seem to share the sticker idea.
Skate logos are in numerous games with the EA handle.
I don't think they're hinting to anything.
Such a renown company operating in the dark after dismissing the spark of the skate franchise seems pretty silly too.
I would say it's more likely Tony hawk makes a comeback than a skate 4.
thps 5 is a thing that's happening
"Your friendship with xi SATORI ix has been broken"
Woah, that escalated quickly.
The Tony hawk games always deliver and the animations are pretty sweet.
Especially those tricks you can pull off in vert.
I just wish they would revamp the controller use.
I don't see how EA can copyright the joysticks anyway.
Teams often with no affiliation to one another drop in with an fps experiment.
Which always use the left and right joysticks.
thrasher had a control scheme as good as skate. thps problem is you ollie and then decide what trick u want to do. makes no sense.
Too bad it's being developed by Robomodo, since Neversoft is completely gone. The geniuses behind ride and shred and the hd remake.
I hope it's great, but with their past record, don't expect it to be. Robomodo needs to bring in whatever is left of the Neversoft team to help them make this game.

I hope this inspires EA (or someone else) to revisit the Skate series. A remaster for next gen would be nice, at the very least.

God I hope not. Tricky is one of my all time favourite games, but that reboot in what 2012 was just awful.
Pro Skater 5 will have to suffice. Its not going to be the PS we remember and love, at least I can't imagine it will be due to lack of Neversoft. The screens did remind me of when we first saw skate, but Im not even as close to as hopeful as I was for OG. Stick a replay editor in and it'll keep me entertained longer.
I still feel obligated to check it out, even though I know the remake robomodo was bad and this will be as well, it's still a new skateboarding game.
If you want pure nostalgia for THPS though, Thug Pro is a must better alternative.

I don't know guys, could go either way yeah?
Not familiar with this new company taking over THPS but They dismissed blackbox and we still talk about a skate 4.
Having someone else thinking outside the box just might be a fresh start.
It could be mediocre at best but it is something new.
A park creator, American wasteland's customization and a new intuitive control scheme would probably be my dream TH game personally.
that's why i don't want to see a skate. 4
as far as thps, i really doubt we'll see anything legitimately different from the previous games. it's a franchise and they're just ringin the register. we need a new ip to actually get what we want. the problem is the things i want in a skating game don't seem to sell well enough to warrant adequate budgets and sequels. we got lucky with Skate. ...we got lucky 3 times in a row.
Some of us are familiar with Robomodo, and played the THPS HD game they created. It was a nice attempt, but didn't feel like a true THPS title at all.
It's possible they did re-vamp everything to better suit to what Neversoft created, but it's not likely. I hope they will prove me wrong though.
Also, who is 'they' that bad mouthed blackbox when og was on it's way? I never heard a single person talk poorly about it.

i read the write-up polygon did of thps5 and it gave me severe whiplash
lol I cant believe this company. reading that quote made me furious. shame on Activision for publishing this and capitalizing off it once again. EA needs to make a move before the S3 buzz dies off. Make some money lol
bengrover, do you recall when THseries tried to implement a replay editor, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XLbehAQ51QM
they went in with it. overwhelming to say the least when OG was so simple to understand. both released around the same time.

Oh were they behind THPS HD? Cool.
Yeah, not sure an HD reboot is a fair project to start assumptions over.
Not what I was saying at all man..
Certain members left blackbox on their own at first, correct me if I'm wrong but up to now this is my understanding. Blackbox was still a team, the team ended up getting the boot because sales fell short with Skate 3. Point being, they were dismissed by EA after skate 3 and just like this Tony hawk pro skater 5 situation there is a new team on the project. I was just saying a skate 4 is likely going to be another team if In the unlikely scenario a skate 4 did come out.
That quote is pretty funny, Trying to remember when shooting projectiles happened haha..
I can't recall though, want to say there was a kind of mini game in two player where you would "tag" eachother. It has been a while for me and that series though, shot in the dark.
You're thinking of Firefight I believe. Also THUG 2 had projectiles in some of the stages, so eh.
I'm with Derk though, an HD reboot is *definitely* fair to start assumptions over, because that's 100% a test to see how well they can maintain the feel of Tony Hawk games of the past. They were literally handed level design and assets from the old games, and then fucked up the only thing they had left to do themselves: the physics. That's the single most important thing in any skateboarding game, arcade or simulator alike. If they can't get that right, there's no reason to trust them on anything else. Not to mention they also did Ride which was an absolute nightmare, and then decided to bother with a sequel that was literally no better than the first.

projectiles are pretty fun in some games
only acceptable combo of skateboarding and projectiles are a future skate-plugin for gta
See what you're saying, just don't know that I've seen an HD reboot with a significant change in how the game plays. Can you mention any off the top of your head? From what I've seen developers tend to just make the game look better, don't really tweak the play to a noticeable extent. Nostalgia being the main reasoning. Can't vouch for ride, interesting to know they were the team for that.
If you think about it though, these days the future of development comes down to a simple question.
Is it on last gen consoles? Even high up developers today dumb down the possibilities by making a last gen version and porting over to current gen, maybe adding more visual detail but for the most part not really pushing it. That being said maybe I have given some leeway where it shouldn't be.
I don't imagine it will be a current gen exclusive, so there's our answer for graphics. It won't be anything like skate so there's gameplay. I will always long for something even remotely similar to skate's controls, but sticking to the past as they say, Expect some arcade shit. Doesn't mean we can't find use in it though.
Hmm.. Hum.. Hmm..
You're thinking of re-releases. This was a reboot, the game was rebuilt using old designs and the IP, what you're thinking of is HD re-releases where they beef up the textures and maybe fix up a few models. THPS HD was a ground-up rebuilding using the level designs and intellectual properties of the THPS games of the past. The problem is, they did it poorly. The physics were really bad compared to older tony hawk games, and the game felt really trashy in comparison.
The problem with Robomodo is that they're going about these games the wrong way. Tony Hawk Pro Skater was a labor of love to skateboarding, but it wasn't really a skateboarding game. It was an arcade platformer with a skateboarding theme. Robomodo is trying to make arcade skateboarding games with a video game "theme," leading to awkward gameplay physics, a lack of focus, and instead on trying to go back to basics, they worry about shit like powerups to make up for it. I honestly can't blame them for trying with THPSHD, it's clear that there was effort put into it, it just wasn't good.
