Re: Why did EA remove skate.create

@EA_Archi if you haven't made it by now then you won't. The hole in the market has existed for years and was blown wide open by the last THPS garbage. There are social media movements dedicated to it, almost every comment on every social media post EA makes is a call for skate 4. The interest is there, has been there. I know you're just trying to keep people on the hook but you and I both know it will never happen.

    I sense your lack of faith disturbing 🙂 

    Recently EA made some bold moves with Battlefield 1 setting and single player game mode in FIFA 17, so you might never guess what will the next product be.

    Cheers,

  • The quote you're looking for is "I find your lack of faith disturbing." The use of WWI for Battlefield was to separate it from the COD herd. Bold? I wouldn't go that far. Safe gamble at best. Soccer is anathema to me so I can't comment on FIFA. In a year and a half you still haven't managed to get skate 3 backwards compatible and have been near dead silent on the issue. What makes you think that anyone will believe that skate 4 is magically going to happen? Especially when your own people are pretty open about saying it's not going to happen.

    I am not saying it happening. All I am saying is it`s hard to tell what turn game industry might take, and you should never loose faith. 

  • @EA_Archi it's pretty easy to predict EA's moves. Skate 4 would require too much work/money up front for you to take the time to make it. You'll settle for rehashing the same old tired games and making safe cash grabs.
