In case you have not seen this yet, good news: http://answers.ea.com/t5/Skate-Games/Skate-3-is-available-on-Xbox-One-Backward-Compatibility/td-p/5688147
@chatrat12 this thread is a consolidation of several that were previously posted so the first few pages are a bit disjointed.
@EA_Barry, @EA_Dave still no answers about whether or not the servers are being shut down? How long do you plan to keep stringing people along with this?
EA Staff (Retired)Hey guys.
I can understand the passion behind the game, the problem is that the backward compatible program from Microsoft is complex in various levels, it´s not as easy as just emulate the games, there are several things involved, like "in game marketing deals" that may have expired, even Phil Spencer him self have gave several explanations about the constrains to make this happen.
Unfortunately as EA_Barry and EA_Dave said, we just do not have any additional info right now.
We will be more than happy to announce it, when we have more info on it.
Nuno

@EA_Nuno you do have more information though. You've deftly avoided the question about whether or not the Skate 3 servers are being shut down, which would be a precursor to the game itself never making it to BC. Also, most of us are aware of the myriad holdups that are possible with bringing this game to BC and yet you still refuse to give us an explanation of what particular speed bump is in the way at the moment. How is it so difficult to understand that we simply want to know what stage the process is in? No one is demanding anything of you that is impossible, we just want to know where we are in the process.
How is it that almost every time someone from EA "answers" one of our posts, we are left with more questions?!
@EA_Nuno Are you saying that "in-game marketing deals" are what is holding up Skate 3 coming to BC? Or is that just an example of a potential hold-up? I appreciate you taking the time to post something here! I really do. It is just that we are looking for more information than this. We want to know: Who specifically is working on getting Skate 3 on xbox one? What is the current status of their progress? What are the exact issues they are dealing with right now? What is the ETA on Skate 3 being added to BC? Is it still indeed 100% happening? If it is an issue with "In-game marketing deals," who is the problem? Is it a specific company that is screwing this up if that is the reason?
There is no question that Microsoft put EA in a bad spot with this. They shouldn't have used Skate 3 in all of their marketing for the BC program if it was going to be such an ordeal releasing it. They shouldn't have announced it as coming soon back in December and put it on sale. They set expectations for consumers that clearly couldn't be met. Now there are thousands of angry gamers waiting on a game that seems like it might not ever come out and we are all looking to EA to deliver. At the end of the day it doesn't matter who is to blame, we don't have Skate on xbox one and that sucks!
EA Staff (Retired)Hi again.
Believe me @215AD, I would love to have those´s answers to provide to our community, but unfortunately we don´t have them right now.
When I talked about "in-game marketing deals", I did not meant with EA, specifically. Imagine that you have a deal with a known brand, like Coca-Cola in a game, but that deal is no longer valid, this are some of the constraints that Microsoft might be dealing with, this is just an example of what might be happening.
Fingers crossed. 🙂
Nuno
