Re: Skate 4

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=to3C18UYt0Q   ☹️

please tell me whate you think of my ideas, alright so i feel like its basically been the same since skate 1 i think it would be really cool if there were some major changes. the first is you you should have to catch the board so say you doing a kickflip you have to pll down and flick up and to the left and hold it until the griptape comes around an release the stick to catch and depending on when you catch it you could fall or land sketchy or land clean or even land in primo. it would make a simple pop shuvit cool since youd have to let it rotate exactly enough before you catch it. my other idea is to make skating halfpipes not mostly about airs its stupid that you cant even do a rock to fakie. i was thinking if you could skate miniramps and ge able to skate it like i do in real life with mostly stalls and grinds, you could do a rock to fakie by going up and right before the coping pull down to do a manual then push forward after your the front is past the coping and pull down to bring the front up and start coming back in an end it by push forward to bring the front back down. a rock and roll would be the same thing but when your coming back in use the other stick to pivot aound. using that basic concept the possibilities could be endless

so effin happy about  a possible skate 4 in the mix. I love all the skate games but yeah..Its time for something new. Been playing the game for too long and as the weather sux at the mo !too much! I need some new virtual spots haha. 

as for ideas....As a skater and a gamer I think lawnflamingo2 ideas are sick, but thinking as a generic gamer I don't know if both ideas would translate as fun or a technical annoyance. I like it tho. Maybe it would be possible to incorporate that stuff within the difficulty settings. ???

I think maybe a better tow/skitch is needed. The cars are great for getting pulled around the map but as for getting speed to hit a spot is a nightmare. it takes ages to get it right and its also a glitchy area in the game. what about a friend on a bike? and be able to mark start/finish points to be towed from. I think this would translate to the generic gamer too as it could be used to do 1080 one foot judos off a mini qtr or for a realistic trick for the people like me who use this game as an alternative to when you can't skate.

real spots could be cool.

be able to skate further away from your marker without a loading screen.

more stuff in skate park creator. The one in skate 3 is great. tbh that's what has kept me playing. Being able to d'load from others is good as you can keep finding new stuff to skate. So just more stuff in general would be good.

that's it for now.

Can't wait for a release date.  

I think that they should also incorporate longboarding aspects such as bigger hills, bigger boards, more realistic speed wobbles, downhill wheels and trucks etc.

Hey, George.

I couldn't help but notice you're post about skate 4. You are deffinetly right.

 I think that Skate 4 should have something like the Stadium like off of Skate 3. Because it is a fairly large map and people have enjoied making their oun parks from the Stadium. Like Megaparks, Realistic parks, and just out right crazy parks. So the idea of having a large map is a great idea, and i also think that there should be another difficulty, i think it should be called Vetran. And all of you're other ideas were splended.

                        So, i will call ea on the phone and tell them about yo're GREAT ideas. Oh, and one more thing, between you and me, EA is making a new bmx dame named Ride. It should be way FUN. Do you have a PS3? and if so whats you're account name so that i can send you a Friend Request. my account name is really btrease. NO CAPS

Hey, its Me again just saying this message is from btrease

The only thing I would want in a possible Skate 4 would be:

Better map(skate3 had no spots and was too clean),

Draining pools and removing grind stoppers should come back,

Better lighting(like it was i skate 2, + a day/night cycle),

No easy/hardcore mode(just more tweaked physics and harder to gain speed),

And ofcourse i would like to see Reda come back even though he's annoying as ****.

i like those ideas...personally i would NOT like reda back but i do like those other concepts....i thought that in skate 4 they could maybe have a larger clothing range...ya know so its not all chavy clothes i would also like to see more skaters such as daewon song...ali boulala maybe.

another thing a day and night cycle , better spots.. and one big map instead of seperate zones...skate reel and graphics creator .... oh and maybe add stickers to your board  and be able to change your board size ...oh and please hope they have the redbull manny mania maps....and more emo clothes.....and definately griptape designs and better graphics and more realistic skating. and many more tricks and more skate companies such as sugar blind..(they was not in skate 3 for some reason) and maybe enuff and world industries ...... and real spots but i do really want that sticker thing (and be ableto have more than one) and the possibility of your board snapping and more realistic bails......that is most of what i can think of .

thanks

joe

Hi everyone,

At present time, no announcement has been made regarding a new Skate game and we cannot comment on game speculation or rumour here on AHQ. For the latest news and game announcements from EA, be sure to keep an eye on ea.com.

Cheers,

Eve

google is fine, thanks though. 

also take off filmer pack

I have an idea for skate 4, every trick should have 15 or so derfferent preset styles. That way your tricks would not look the same everytime you do them. Also more empathsis on different ways the player rides and moves. 

Really like the idea above along with my ideas which are

You should have a nice house that has 4 rooms
1) living room with a big flat screen to watch skate vids that you unlock as well as credits and any video recordings you saved etc. Also have on the side a magazine rack with all of the magazines you got on the front cover of to look at.
2) Trophy/medals room that holds all your trophies/medals you won from competitions.
3) Clothing room that holds all of the clothes the companies that you are sponsored by give you.
4) Skateboard room with all the boards bought to swap when needed as well as free boards/trucks/wheels from the companies you are sponsored by.
5) your backyard which is your very own highly customized skatepark built to your liking.

2)Boards should be able to break and when you do a pop up should show where it asks you to pick a new board from the board company your sponsored for which will have other boards you bought as well that you did not break OR buy a new board from the shop. IF you don't have enough money for a board and you haven't got a board sponsor yet, your filmer will loan you his board which is the stock EA Skate board that you will get in the beginning of the game. If you buy a board but your not using it you have to go to your house to get it and if it breaks you buy a new one unless you pick a free board from your sponsor.

3) Each skater should have their own tweaked physics of their own to be more realistic.

4)Much bigger world with more skateparks.

5)Train stations should return.

6)This is how the story mode should be. The objective of the game would be to become skater of the year and the way to do that would be to do competitions. First you would do some goals/local competitions/inside magazine photos then get on the cover of a skate mag. After that you will unlock maloof money cup. Beat that and you do more goals/local comps as well as you will unlock your first sponsor which is board and unlock first round of Battle at the berrics. Then after goals you do another mag cover which will unlock GVR competition. Beat that and the same thing, goals/comps/mag shoots as well as unlocking second sponsor which is trucks and second round of Battle at the berrics. After goals and the 2nd skate mag cover you will unlock due tour. Beat that and same thing as before with the edition of Wheel sponsor and 3rd round of Batb(Which is optional but fun to do and you get money after you win final round as well as another trophy for trophy room and free gear.) After goals and 3rd skate mag cover you unlock StreetLeage which is 3 stops. First stop you have to win then some goals, unlocking shoe sponsor and 4th round of BATB. Then unlocking 2nd stop of SreetLeague. Beat that then goals/shirt sponsor and 5th round of BATB. Then unlocking 3rd and final level of StreetLeague. Beat that and you win a watch, a pair of shoes and a ring which are all covered in diamonds as well as $50,000. Then you do some more goals and the final round of BATB as well as the 4th skate mag cover. Beat BATB and you win a trophy, some free gear and $10,000
Finish off the goals with a cover of a skate mag. (You also get money and free gear for the other comps as well just forgot to mention.)
Then you unlock the final competition which is X-Games. Beat that and you get $100,000, gear and trophy. You also get nominated for skater of the year (which gets you a medal) as well as a final insane trick at the X-Games you do for the cover of the latest skate mag.

6)If you get skater of the year 3 times in a row which means beating the game 3 times, you unlock some cool gear, more money and some other things which I have not thought of yet.

7)The competitions you unlock (not local comps) should have realistic narration. The local ones can be funny and stupid like they normally are.

The maloof money cup/due tour/GVR should be accessible while free roaming in open world since these are outdoor parks. SL/X-Games/BATB can still be accessible but via entering a building.

9)Keep create a park but update the pieces. Have a search button when searching for parks.

10)have the filmer talk to you like in the skate 1/2 but have an option to turn it off if wanted.

11)Customizable griptape.

Ive been playing skate 3 for way to long. Over the years i have thought of some great ideas that would make skate 4 better.

1. you should definitly be able to break your board, and when you do you should have to pay for a new one not just select a new one.

2. you should actually have sponsors like in skate 2 and the sponsors pay you 

3. you shuld be able to select what type of skater you are, street or vert, and based of your style there would be compititions for that

4. the comcpetitions should be longer, you should get trophies and money from them.

5. more custumization, like add text to shirts, choose different grip tapes

6. you should have a house that has a private skatepark in the back

7. you should be able to do stalls and actually be able to skate a mini ramp

8. you should get awards presented by thrasher like, roockie of the year and skater of the year

9. you should be able to film videos for your sponsors

10. there should be more skaters like Paul Rodriguez, Aaron Jaws Homoki, Ryan Sheckler and many more.

11. weather, the time of day should change, there should be different weather like rain and sunshine, night and day

12. bring back trains

13. have some spots be real ones like El Toro, The LA Ditch, Hollywood High

14. idk if this is possible but whaterever time it is in real life that should be the tie in the game   

I'm new to this but I totally agree with a skate 4, allow me to share my thoughts on ideas of a possible skate 4 from a skater's perspective;

1. Character Customization

Alright, one of the main reasons we love career mode is being able to make your own skater. Skaters like to make skaters that actually look like skaters, none of this fancy retarded extras. Was the soda hat really necessary? 

Personally, I think skate 2's merch selection was amazing. They had most brands (missing out a few, e.g.. HUF, Diamond) and the clothing was varied. Although Skate 3 had a vast selection of clothing and shoes, they just weren't all that pleasing and left quite a bit to be desired.

One of my main problems in this case was the trousers...I'm not quite sure but the fit just...urked me. Most of the pants were either an ugly straight leg or completely skinny, and on top of that, didn't even reach the ankles. What Skate 4 could do to improve this would be to introduce different fits (slim, baggy, skinny, straight leg, etc) and actually categorize them. 

I also missed how you would need money like in the first 2 games. That was all the realism in it, you get sponsors, get buck, get product. I really was not into the entire building your company thing and how you were just given everything. The bag concept in skate 1 was really good; go to regs or whatever skate store to get your product and then it's in your bag. Incorporating sponsors and skate stores is a must for a skate 4.

The shoes were decent although I wasn't fond on most of the colourways. For skate 4, EA could introduce maybe 2 or 3 colourways for some shoes and maybe even different shoelaces. Another realistic thing that would definitely enhance the reality and overall gameplay would be to introduce the idea of ripping shoes and wearing them out. As a skater, keeping our skate shoes in check is forreal a huge deal. Once you get a shoe sponsor, you get free shoes, fair enough, but there should be a bar (maybe in the menu) to show how your shoes are faring. That would make it more realistic and a lot more fun. Also, just to make it even more interesting, the state of the shoe could perhaps hinder how you perform your tricks. That would make the player more thoughtful as to whether they should go out and get new shoes or just skate with the ones they have at the moment. This could be a similar case with boards (you should also get griptape sponsors and different grip like jessup, mob, diamond/grizzly, shake junt).

Boards should, much like the shoes, have a durability bar as to how close your board is to snapping or wearing out. This, could also hinder performance when filming, doing contests, etc, therefore, like I earlier stated make players more cautious. Players should also be able to put stickers on your board. These requests may seem petty, but when setting up a board, a skater will put so many stickers on it that they can't see the graphic anymore.

Another thing which I missed from skate 1 was belts, it just seemed more realistic to be able to fully customise your person. As well as this, add SHOELACE BELTS, this has become one of the largest trends in skateboarding that, to leave it out of skate 4, would be tear-jerking.

Now for body mods; I don't like buying DLC just to get new hairstyles, I Do Not Like That. Save DLC for extra career challenges, maybe add more tshirts but do NOT make me buy your DLC for a hairstlye. It's my skater, therefore I should be able to make it look EXACTLY how I want to...pretty please. Another feature I miss from skate 1 was the way you could fully customize the persons body (like making it skinny muscular, fat muscular, scrawny).

Another feature whcich I am introducing is the "Let me choose how tall my skater is" . That would be, along with all the other stuff I've mentioned, the pinnacle of character customization. Making your picture in your head exactly what you thought. That's enough with harcater customization now.

2.Gameplay/Career

EA...please explain to me how becoming sponsored didn't become cool? Did being put on our favourite skate brands just become "uncool"? Let me tell you what skaters want, they want sponsorships, shoe deals, pro shoes, pro decks (actual names on the board of your favourite brand, none of that skate 3 bull, making me go on skate.create to make my stuff...damn), pro trucks, CLOTHING SPONSORS, and other endorsments (don't forget the energy drinks). I personally think that this was skate 3's downfall. You basically took what skaters LOVED about the skate franchise, and threw it down a well, never to be seen again only to be replaced by...YAY LET'S MAKE OUR BOARD COMPANY...no. Although this is not a bad concept, how it was used was...mediocre. In skate 4, include all the sponsors and stuff, but maybe AFTER you're a fully fledged pro and you've gotten footy and completed challenges, the option to go on to start a board company should be there. That would be the perfect way to incorporate that idea. Maybe then you could recruit teams and stuff. But, for board designs, an ingame skate.create sort of thing would be perfect. Then we can choose to upload our ideas from there.

Now all you have to do is just incorporate the skate 2 story, add loads more contests( street league, xgames is also greatly missed, tampa am, tampa pro, due tour ), more videos, like, all your sponsors should ask for at leat 1 or 2 videos to promote their brand. Like, board sponsors could get you to film a certain amount of lines and tricks for a proper video part. This would make it really realistic. Also, make physics more like skate 2. More gravity if that makes sense, how the hell do you start the game and you can already ollie a bench, flat. You should be like given attributes which could help you, like pop, rotation, flick, etc. 

There also needs to be more magazine coverage like interviews and how you answer each question affects how much your sponsors pay you for that interview or even how much board sales.

3.Pros

Now we all know the skate series is never short of pros, but how the heck do you skip out on some of the greatest rippers to date? PRod, Ryan Sheckler, Nyjah Huston, Sean Malto. How the heck do you have barrier kult guy who just shreds barriers and not have PAUL FRICKEN RODRIGUEZ. He was in skate 1...okay but how do you skip one of the G.O.A.T's for 2 entire games later? I also would've liked to see pros like corey duffel, torey pudwill, theotis beasley, jim greco, erik ellington, kevin romar, mark suciu, even stefan janoski. These pros would've been great. Pro chalenges were pleasing in skate 3 so not much to say about that.

These were just idead that I' love, want, hope, and dream are incorporated into skate 4 if they make one, PLEASE EA make a skate 4

(reply and tell me your ideas)

yo please tell everybody you know in ea headquarters to ge-ge-get to making a skate 4, the franchise is currently in it's prime and you have you have the whole skate community backing you. Please, look at our ideas, mine, everybody who has commented, see what you can do. It's been three years ☹️ please don't dissapoint your loving fans of the great franchise

you guys have some killer ideas, as a skater and gamer I can agree with most points you give out, I like the tech tricks and the mini ramp skating ideas, one thing I would like to add to the park creator is a molding feature, like if you have a ramp and a qp right next to eachother and you have that annoying little lip on it, include a molding feature to smooth it out and you could use this feature to bring up little bubbles in the ground and shape it to what you want.

even though a new skate game would be great im sure there won't be one anytime soon.

there is still an active community and players who enjoy this series even though EA killed the Website

we are in contact with the guys who developed the series and Cuz made us pretty clear that there wont be a new one soon.

Now with the next generation consoles coming things might change tho, who knows....

In addition to what this young man said I am practically in tears to find out that it is HIGHLY possible skate 4 could be coming =') Myself, scantraxx77, and my friend, ODS1992, play skate 3 almost every single day together and due to a lot of glitching done by a lot of people on various S.K.A.T.E levels to do ridiculous tricks we play our own games of S.K.A.T.E we are very found of particular down rail located in on the boarder of the loading docks and second and navy.

Things that could also be added:

NEW FLIP TRICKS- the following examples can be found on youtube for reference ex: HOSPITAL FLIP, BETA FLIP, DOLPHIN FLIP, ALPHA FLIP etc. Chris Haslem actually has a wild trick on youtube the name escapes me but if I remember correctly he does a front side kickflip and half way through and punts the board with his back foot to do an under laser flip. EVERY trick can be turned into an underflip!

NEW S.K.A.T.E modes: flip tricks to grinds, manny pad s.k.a.t.e games it'd take some hard work to program but I think a lot of real skaters would appreciate a variety not to mention it would push people to smash those BS feebles or BS smiths into place etc. Maybe even throw customizable games of skate where you can give people multiple attempts to nail it before they get a letter. Lord knows when my friend and I skate that rail at 2nd and Navy I desperately need more than one shot. You could also throw in a voting system to dispute whether a trick is legit or not. We call each other on wild tricks like BS360 360 flip to BS feeble all the time. You could even make the games very specific for ex: I set a FS 360 Laser flip everyone else should have to spin FS as well for it to count.

LOCATIONS: Add real everyday skate parks like WOODWARD and such

Character customization: add various new piercing styles, me personally I have my ears stretched and I try to make my character look as much like me as possible I think it'd be cool to give my character my piercings and such. Oh and a major flaw in clothing from skate 3 make the skinny denim it's really annoying to see the socks and have to wear high tops to hide it. Let us give our character a voice as well that'd make it possible to make a very in depth story line and sometimes it'd be nice to be able to tell Reda or Shingo to shut up. =)

I'm out of ideas for now but I'm sure more will pop up in time =)

those that got to this point feel free to hit me up on SKATE 3 and you can come check out the 2nd and Navy rail and take us on in a game of skate =)

WITH LOVE, scantraxx77

maybe not veteran I think Pro would be a better choice

the skate games have not had a pc version so could you make a skate 4 with a pc version?🙂
