With the PS3 as lead platform for Skate 2, Dead Space and Mirror's Edge, you already know which version I'm getting.

Hint: The version, not the port. ;)

Montrealien6494d ago (Edited 6494d ago )

I can't agree with this, I mean it is only logical to port from the PS3 and have it as lead since there are clearly problems porting 360 to PS3. It has nothing to do with which hardware is better. Both versions of every games you noted will play the same and look the same. I mean, this is the game that made Tony hawk take the year off after 10 years, lol

Your console war baiting is noted, but your audience is in the other zone, make sure to take out you magnifying glasses and 1080p screen shots to study the differences, I'll be playing the game. And skate looks sweet, I really enjoyed the first one.

supahbad6494d ago

i will be getting the ps3 version too, it seems that as long whichever platform a dev decides to develop on, or if they build both from the ground up the game turns out better.
ex:
burnout paradise ps3>xbox
orange box xbox/pc>ps3
from here on out i'm planning on buying the lead platform, after i get an xbox, which will actually be soon because i'm splitting the cost w/ my bro so it turns out i will be buying one

spunnups6494d ago

Both games will look better because the lead platform is the PS3.

The_Firestarter6494d ago

Lookin' great! I wanted to buy the first Skate game, but didn't have the money. I highly enjoyed the demo, so I'm totally looking forward to buying Skate 2 this fall. :)

Alexander Roy6494d ago

Finally a release date... and one not too far away. If they can keep up with what they established and phase out the shortcomings - as they said they will - this could pretty much become my most played game this year.

Any word yet on if the PS3 version will have custom music? The songs in skate.... weren't really my cup of tea. Yeah, NWA is cool, but after the 100th "I'M HUSTLIN!", I decided to mute the game and listen to my iPod.

ZombieNinjaPanda6494d ago

With all the new tricks and stuff, it will be even more fun than the first!

So lets see...which trick shall I try out first in skate then on my board? ;)

Alexander Roy6494d ago

Nollie 360 Flip 540. My favourite trick while cruising the streets.

ZombieNinjaPanda6494d ago

Haha I'll do the nollie, and maybe the 360 flip, but not the 540 =P

shadowxcore6494d ago (Edited 6494d ago )

lol. maybe you should try tony hawk ;]

jk. on a serious note though. the reason i love skate is because it's focus is the tricks itself. none of this "hey i bet i can 900 off this rail and then manual casper flip 540 off the building. oh and add a backflip or two in there."

payday6494d ago

can anyone confirm this is the real release dates? i hope its true but i doubt it.

niceone6494d ago (Edited 6494d ago )

No, nobody can confirm this because no release date has been given yet. It probably wont be out before the beginning of 2009.

And also: The PS3 isn't the lead platform. The game is developed for both PS3 and 360 simultaneously. Thats the word from Skate. and Skate 2's producer Scott Blackwood over at the EA-forums!

The 7 Best Skateboarding Games

Since the mid-90s, skateboarding games have remained a popular past time. But which are the best skateboarding games?

MasterChief36241030d ago

There is no way in hell they put the cover of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 5 as the thumbnail for "best skateboarding games." Good Lord.

ChiefofLoliPolice1030d ago

Not the game that needs to be the thumbnail.

ChiefofLoliPolice1030d ago

Oh dear God the OG TH games are amazing. THUG 1 2 and THAW were badass. It's hard to pick. The EA Skate games were amazing too especially Skate 3.

Never got the chance to play Session or Skate XL but I want to try.

As far as classics...the THUG games and Pro 4 were my favs. I still play those games on my OG Xbox to this day!

Abear211030d ago

Smh still no Skate on PlayStation 4 or 5. All these new budget skateboarding games are glitched trash. The new Skate will be good, but nothing will give me that crazy feeling like OG skate demo, that was a revelation

I'm sure R* knows the Nintendo Switch install base and probably dont really care to port over more R* games to the Nintendo Switch tho i gotta say playing GTA4 & RDR1 on the go on the Nintendo Switch would be dope

Knightofelemia1410d ago

I would buy Lollipop Chainsaw, Alice Madness Returns, Enslaved, Splatter House, Brutal Legends, Dante's Inferno, and Dead Space for sure if they were ported to the Switch.

InklingGirl1410d ago

Same, great group of titles.

Mobis-New-Nest1410d ago

Deus Ex Human Revolution would be a great title to The Holy Grail of All Consoles aka The Nintendo Switch*. Also Haze Remastered, Grand Theft Auto 4 and 5 Remastered, Silent Hill HD Collection, Max Payne 3 Remastered, Call of Duty World At War Remastered, The Orange Box Remastered, Halo Master Chief Collection, Left 4 Dead 1 and 2 Remastered, Metal Gear Solid 4 Remastered, Afro Samurai Remastered, Demons Souls Remastered, Xmen Destiny Remastered, Jack and Daxter Collection, Def Jam Icon Remake, Folklore Remastered, Spiderman Edge of Time Remastered, Persona 5 remastered, the list goes on. (*Best Selling Console of All Time)

MontyeKristo1410d ago (Edited 1410d ago )

Can we just get a Bully 2? 😒

iplay1up21410d ago

Seriously? Isn't it time Nintendo make a Switch successor? I mean they have the sales and money.

Game awards skate gameplay? I’d be hyped. All I’ve asked for over the years from EA is a skate sequel and a dead space 1 remaster. If they nail these games me and EA are cool. Clean slate, no hate. Do they make really dumb moves all too often? Yes. But It’s not like they are activision blizzard.

Michiel19891649d ago

throw in battle for middle-earth 1-2 remastered with multiplayer servers running and im game

sourOG1648d ago

For those games you would clean the slate with EA you mean?

I said I’d never forgive them for what they did to visceral and black box but the visceral guys are making a “dead space” sequel anyway and they are free from EA. And a skate is being made. If they ruin dead space 1 I will never forgive them lmao. If they bang these out with fire? Even Steven.

Michiel19891648d ago

there is no cleaning the slate with EA anymore (in the short term), but bfme 1 and 2 are some of my favorite games of all time, I just want to play them online again with a decently sized playerbase. Ive been hoping for a remaster for these games for years now, but WB has the lotr license now, so there is basically no chance of it happening.

Profchaos1649d ago

On the same day they announced backwards compatibility ouch

Servbot411649d ago

Leave it to EA to be completely tone deaf morons.

AnotherGamer1649d ago

Wow wut, but they announced backward compatibility just today.

Amplitude1649d ago (Edited 1649d ago )

lol what a hilarious day to announce this

Props to them for keeping them up as long as they did though
