No DLC Content for Skate

Electronic Arts has become known for the amount of downloadable content they've tossed on Xbox Live, most infamously charging for what were essentially cheat codes in Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2007. Thankfully, however, that won't be the approach for their Tony Hawk rival, Skate.

"We're not planning any new content for Skate 1 ... We didn't want to go back and ask people for more money to get more shoes and shirts," said EA Black Box Executive Producer Scott Blackwood in an Afterthoughts interview featured in latest issue of EGM. "That's not how we wanted to enter this market."

Already working on a sequel...hopefully they take their time to make sure the 2nd game becomes awesome.

BrotherSic6779d ago

'skate 1' is already awesome. All they need to do in 'skate 2' is add a feature to get off your board, add a few more tricks and tweak the gameplay slightly.

ShiftyLookingCow6779d ago

dont forget a good port for the PS3

rushbd6779d ago

Not as bad as everyone (mostly reviewers like Gamespot) makes it to be. Yes Xbox 360 version has some edge at framerates and draw distance, but it's not huge enough to write your mom about. I think EA is improving with PS3. We'll just have to give them more time.

the ability to get off your board would be a great addition, but i really want to see foot tricks add.

... the 2nd installment has a good framerate on PS3 because i bought a 360 for Skate.

Multiplatform games are better on the 360 (yeah, i know i changed my mind and i really would like to say the opposite, but multi-games on PS3 suck major a$$). i tested 11 games on both consoles, including Virtua Fighter, F.E.A.R., PES2008, Fifa 08, Tiger W. 08, Skate, Jericho, Call of Duty 3, NFS Carbon, NHL 08 and Blazing Angels.

All these games run smoother and look better on the 360, no doubt about it. Stranglehold demo fps on the PS3 goes down to 15fps if you fire your guns at some crates and stuff - 360 version runs stable - wtf sony?

so after some playtesting MY conclusions are:

Best Shooter On/Offline = Halo 3

Best Jump'n' Run = Ratchet Clank FTOD

Best Racing game = Motorstorm / PGR4

Best Role Playing Game/Adventure = Folklore / Eternal Sonata

Best Multiplayer Fun game = Warhawk / Halo 3 / Resistance FOM

i think every system has good games but Multiplat games are better on the 360, that's sad but true.

PS3/360 FTW!

n4gTurnsU_WickedGay6779d ago

i've had skate on ps3 since day one. i've never had frame rate problems, and if i did it was noticeable. i've played the game on 360 at a friends, skate seems to be exactly the same on both. ok, the draw distance is not the same.

if you want to complain about a bad port play F.E.A.R. on ps3. EA did a great job porting skate.

Salvadore6779d ago

DarthNihilus, they should try to build the game from ground up instead of porting it from the 360 to the PS3.

felidae6779d ago (Edited 6779d ago )

sorry man, but Skate's framerate on PS3 is not acceptable. It's impossible to do some accurate tricks because sometimes the FR drops down to 10-15fps.

i had to stop some challenges just because the FR was that bad - maybe i'm a little fussy but after 15 years in Skateboarding you pay attention to every little detail and this issue really hinders the gameplay - not to mention the online lags on PS3.

i'm really happy with the 360 version because this one runs smooth and plays like it should be, on- and offline.

Bad PS3 Work EA, really bad!

edit:

To all the people who play over HDMI .. you can switch some of the BD/DVD settings (upscaler = off, 24hz mode = off or automatic, PS2 upscaler + smoothing = off ... ) to make Skate run better on the PS3.

just try to change some of the Game and BD/DVD settings in XMB. worked for me and framerate was 99% stable when i played offline in Freeskate without traffic and security - too bad it doesn't work for the online lags :-(

Just watch EA squeeze the milk out of this.

exactly what i was thinking

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

Knightofelemia1408d 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.

InklingGirl1408d ago

Same, great group of titles.

Mobis-New-Nest1408d 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)

MontyeKristo1408d ago (Edited 1408d ago )

Can we just get a Bully 2? 😒

iplay1up21408d ago

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

New Skate Game in Development Confirmed, Being Developed by New Studio

EA has confirmed that a new Skate game is in development by a newly formed studio named Full Circle.

SpeedDemon1937d ago

This was already confirmed, EA announced it at their last year's E3 event.

excaliburps1937d ago

The new news here is a new studio was formed for the game...

SpeedDemon1937d ago

Yes that part is new information.

"Remember EA’s Skate franchise? If you’re a fan of the franchise, you’ll be glad to know that EA has confirmed that a new Skate game is in development! This was confirmed today by EA"

If you read the article you would see that the author didn't know that the game had already been confirmed and your title here makes it appear that you might not have known either.

Michiel19891937d ago (Edited 1937d ago )

he said NEW news, pretty obvious he allready knew it was announced

edit: didnt see excali made the thread, thought it was about his comment my bad

boing11937d ago
