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!

The only thing I would want in a possible Skate 4 would be:
Better map(skate3 had no spots and was too clean),
Draining pools and removing grind stoppers should come back,
Better lighting(like it was i skate 2, + a day/night cycle),
No easy/hardcore mode(just more tweaked physics and harder to gain speed),
And ofcourse i would like to see Reda come back even though he's annoying as ****.

i like those ideas...personally i would NOT like reda back but i do like those other concepts....i thought that in skate 4 they could maybe have a larger clothing range...ya know so its not all chavy clothes i would also like to see more skaters such as daewon song...ali boulala maybe.
another thing a day and night cycle , better spots.. and one big map instead of seperate zones...skate reel and graphics creator .... oh and maybe add stickers to your board and be able to change your board size ...oh and please hope they have the redbull manny mania maps....and more emo clothes.....and definately griptape designs and better graphics and more realistic skating. and many more tricks and more skate companies such as sugar blind..(they was not in skate 3 for some reason) and maybe enuff and world industries ...... and real spots but i do really want that sticker thing (and be ableto have more than one) and the possibility of your board snapping and more realistic bails......that is most of what i can think of .
thanks

Come on EA make it !!!!
There is a lot of interesting stuff to implement in the new skate.
Body balance in the grinds and slides will give more realistic playing.
More realistic spots.
And please more dirt. All is soo clean. Skating and the city.
We are waiting for too long.

Dear EA GamesI have just scrolled through this entire thread. over 3 years of begging for this title. I myself have logged over 350+ hours on the skate series since it was released. Skate 4 is the most desired game on the market right now. The customers, Your customers are literally handing you gold. They are telling you exactly what game they want, What game they will pay you money for.
I was very disappointed to hear that I won't be able to play backwards compatible skate 3 on my ps4. I have considered purchasing last gen consoles just to be able to play this series again, as many others have. Does this not scream to you what your next action should be?
I believe there is so much that can be done in this title. So much has changed in the industry.
Visit the idea of a skate 3 remake for next gen with a new city, the original city, DCL cities, New skaters. You would be surprised at the response that would have.
Skate 4 is a title that needs to happen. The skateboard game market right now is next to nothing. Tony hawk has fallen off, There is nothing to stand against the skate series.
