Franchise Ruined

The Skate franchise was a unique and beloved game that catered to skaters and skate enthuists first and foremost.  The story was great (and I do miss it), but it was the overall environment and feel of the game that made us beg for a new game for 10 years.  Exploring the map felt like skating around your hometown or having access to spots that mimicked your favorite skate video locations.  It just felt like a game made by skaters for skaters.  This game, while I am grateful to have something to play, is nothing lile what made the first 3 games what they were.  The map, the spots, the people, the colors, the annoying narrators/guides,  everything, just seems sterile.  Even the flick system has been sterilized some.  I hope this game does well because I know people worked hard to get it out, but this is not Skate.  This is something different and and its not better in anyway.  Like I said, thanks for getting something out, but to wait 10 years for a fourth Skate game that was breathed to life by the FANS, and to receive this is a major dissapointment and a failure by EA.  I would have rathered you given us a PS5 version of one of the original games.  This is pathetic.
