Skate 3 Backward Comp. NEWS :(

[Antwan]

Microsoft has advertised it as a future backwards compatible title for months and months now on multiple occasions. I find it hard to believe they would whiff it this hard and advertise a game they had no permission or confirmation they would be releasing.

Hey, not knocking that.. Could be.
Strange that they would "accidentally" leak a back compat ad in the email though. Like they already had all this advertising ready to go?

I was going to buy a xbone for the bc when it released but I'm not getting one till then. I did however but my girlfriend one as a gift. My ps4 is my baby though. I love it. Just want a bigger hdd

Seems like there might be some things going on behind the scenes. Microsoft has advertised skate 3 as an upcoming title for a while but it still hasn't been announced. Maybe they are trying to get all the customization stuff (i.e. custom graphics etc) up and running again, would seem weird to have the game without all those features.

Boom.

While I highly doubt it, if that did happen I would no longer have beef with Microsoft.

It's literally all speculation is what's crazy though.
*So far I've heard it's 360 emulation on the Xbox One.
*Articles mention EA reps having no knowledge of plans for Skate 3 on the BC list.
Some of us have had our fill of communication with those guys, so, that could be true.
*Whoever the responsible party is doesn't really matter at this point, I think it's fair to say they are both at fault.
I still lead my own speculation with the thinking that they are all either;
Full of Crap
Very Lazy
Misinformed
or all three.

Microsoft we're most likely just showing popular 360 titles and had no real plans of releasing it, or hit a roadblock with porting it and don't have any of the black box team to fix it.

I'm just upset with this industry and all it's nonsense period. As these companies get richer, less seems to be done in our favor as the consumers. They get away with shitty products, aren't really forced to update anything. That's software, games, everything. Like we aren't investing in anything. Just paying for what was rushed to market by the date. Now marketing, is just straight lies to the consumer? That's why I'm upset. Feels a bit deeper than just Microsoft or just BC titles.

Backward compatibility isn't just for people wanting to play older games again, it is also about getting new players to try a game. From the perspective of someone who has never played skate 3, the fact that some of the games social and creative features are no longer usable might make people not buy it.
