Does Skate ollie over the competition or kiss the curb?

Square Enix launches Final Fantasy X 25th anniversary site, revealing new Nomura art, books, music releases, and merchandise.
Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.
They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.

A brutal reset, a smarter story, and a return to what made it great—Mortal Kombat (2011) revived the series.
15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.

Why did Sony push Shuhei Yoshida out of his role leading PlayStation's first-party games? He'd overseen some huge successes. Well, apparently, he didn't listen.
Yeah I can see that for sure. Shuhei Yoshida should have been in charge not Jim Ryan.
More confirmation that Jim Ryan is the culprit for what has happened to Sony. Hulst needs to go too. What sucks is that a lot of the good top heads at Sony are no longer there. I wish that guys that were forced out prematurely by Dumbo Jimbo like Shuhei and Layden came back.
Makes you wonder if MS even thought about hiring him after Phil and Sarah were leaving. He certainly couldn't make their situation any worse.
All the gamer/consumer lead heads are gone across PS and Xbox. shuhei gone phil's gone (questionable) but gone. The future of gaming is somewhat uncertain across the board.
They forgot to mention that Skate, unlike Tony Hawk, has believable physics and not riders who skate like they have had back surgery and are standing on springboards...
I'm still undecided about this game. I need the demo to show up on the PSN before I make any decisions. It looks good though...
I wouldn't let this review sway your opinion. I am DEFINITELY buying this based on the demo...
They spent the entire video review criticizing the game, and then ended up giving it an 8.1??? Sounds like the reviewer may be a little* biased towards the Tony Hawk series.
More reviews will hit today, the game will be out tomorrow. Keep eyes peeled.
Forget bias - I just think these guys weren't any GOOD at the game.
Hard to perform tricks? Only with bit fat cheeto-encrusted smudge fingers. What? Oh.
Just because this goon doesn't get what skating is really about. He was mispronouncing trick names and everything. I skated for 9 years personally and I think that skate is so freaking awesome that the tony hawk series (which I loved for many years) should just go away. Anyway, this guy obviously wasn't any good at this game which leads to a lower score and also he's clearly a fanboy for thps. Suggesting that most people will miss this and have to get used to that is stupid. I doubt that there is a single skater out there that would honestly say that thps is better in any way. Skate stomps the competition 9.4/10 for me based on the demo. These smalls delays are killing me btw...ship it already.
