EA Tried to Fortnite SKATE
Maybe an unpopular opinion,
But the reason why SKATE was so **bleep** good is because it actually made us feel like real skaters.
It was a bit rough, and it felt a like a stress free, pure exploration experience
At the time, it was as realistic as a skate game could be, and insanely fun.
The slams were brutal, you could see bones breaking, the characters felt real, and the overall flow of the game was gritty in the best way.
From the pre beta testing, it feels like you went in a Fortnite style direction
Dumb skins, cartoon like characters, and a constant hand holding approach to gameplay.
What I'm trying to say is: the things I loved about SKATE seem to be gone.
It feels commercial, overly polished, and to be honest, kind of average considering the long wait.
I’d honestly prefer a remaster of SKATE 3.
Maybe my expectations were just different
But to me, this is more proof that gaming has become a profit driven industry, and the true fun and joy of gaming is slowly fading.
