Hey,
Basically I know there's a lot of people in the Skate community longing for a Skate 4 and the other day I stumbled across this video on YouTube, which seemingly confirms the existence of a Skate 4.
However I was skeptical as to the credibility of this video so I decided to go ahead and call them up myself for some answers. After various people told me they had no knowledge of a Skate 4 I was eventually put through to the extremely helpful/lovely Lorraine in Austin, Texas. After she had spoken to a few people she said something along the lines of "although no release date or details have been confirmed I expect it will come out in 2013". She was quite vague, I am sure they are told to be like this when discussing future games which haven't been officially announced, but the general gist was that one is in development somewhere (I think).
I am just posting here so those who may or may not be developing a Skate 4 can see that we have all played Skate 3 to death and want nothing more than a fourth installment! With recent rumblings of the next gen coming out at the end of the year I believe, as do many others, that this would be the perfect time to release a new Skate; utilising the new technologies and bringing us a more realistic and comprehensive skating experience. As great as Skate 3 is there are definitely things that could be added which my friends and I have discussed at length. Here's a few examples:
-Flatland: perhaps a mechanic whereby you click in the analogue sticks and then do combinations similar to doing flip tricks?
-Pressure flips: again, this could be easily achieved by a similar mechanic to the one above.
-More realistic physics: while Skate 3 is a great game, what it lost from the earlier games is the more realistic physics. The option to play on easy and normal should still be there but perhaps there could be another even more realistic mode than hardcore for those who want an ultra-realistic skating experience.
-The map: I'm sure on next gen it would be possible to make a really cool, really massive map. A lot of people missed having one large, fluently skateable map in Skate 3 and I think if there was to be a Skate 4 it would be great if it could feature one massive map that you can Skate around, rather than having the different parts like Skate 3 did.
-More tech stuff: I know this is vague but if there was more technical tricks you could do I know it would add a lot of enjoyment for me and my friends who play Skate.
Thanks!

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.
- Like your ideas. I can't skate either so this is the closest skating fun I can have. One suggestion I have is a snowboarding game unlike any other, like the new BMX Game comin soon. That would be cool aswell, maybe switch from skate to snow, I dunno.
snowboarding game would be ssx pretty sure its been aroud longer than skate
- SSX hello!? Already done! There would be NOTHING interesting or realistic about a snowboarding game unless your character could talk and would have to socialize with sponsors and fans. Otherwise it would just be a bunch of pulling triggers and pushing sticks. Skate got so big because of the whole stick flicking.
- So its 2015 where is skate 4
- Honestly... In my opinion I think Los Angeles is the best place to skate. So make the map of Los Angeles... Also include A house and Furniture... Add Real Skate Shops like Active were you can actual walk in the Door.. You should also add new tricks like dolphin flips, primo slides , Dragon Flips, Nightmare flips and more. Add New Skaterz Too Like Paul Rodrigues, Nygah Houstan, Shaun Malto, Torey Pudwill and more... Also add New skate brands Like Primitive, Sk8 Mafia, and more.. Add pro boards like Paul Rodriguez Gold Eagle Board.. ADD PLAYER AudIO WERE YOU CAN FINALLY TALK IT WOULD BE A GREAT ADDITION TO THE GAME... Add Bearings and Grip Tape... Better graphics with a first person mode would make a great addition to the game too.. Also A harder mode were you make pebbels and the terrain if the sidewalk / road can mess you up. Also Add brand socks brand like nike sb or huf.. Bring Back Sponsors and phone so you can hit up homies and add schools and more varietie of people.. Add Stickers.. Add a skate tool so you can put your board togethet... Also make the board snap if its to old or your just angry and let the board chip and gt razor tail so you should get a new board... Add a better skateboard designer with a better color section and a better character modifier like in madden 15 game face so your player looks like you... And in hard mode if you break a bone you must rest... And a mode where you can choose either your a street or vert skater.. (I Honestly prefer Street) Also add a feature that you can pop a bearing.. Also add a Map and suggested areas to skate (either vert or street).. Also add wax .. Add a better camera angles and lenses.. ADD A STREET LEAUGUE COMPETITION (For street Skaters) Where you battle against pros OR ADD A X GAMES ( For Vert Skaters) Where you also battle pros.. Add A better and more interactive world where you talk to people or pros.. That is all of my ideas for SKATE 4 AND PLEASE ADD A PLAYER AUDIO PLEASE
Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 5, as much as I enjoyed Tony Hawk games, bombed. I haven't played it, but the game did poorly. Skate was originally made to compete with Proving Grounds, and it has sold more than that game. And now is the time for Skate 4 to be developed.
Skate 4 is not only something a lot of people want, it is an opportunity to take over that part of the sports genre. The latest toy hawk game is absolutely horrible, and there is nothing else..
It's sad to see no proper skateboarding game nowadays.
Skate 3 is the only thing left to play. I'm done with the tony hawk style, gotta make millions kind of gameplay. Skate is a beautiful thing, and you can make anything come true.
