Forum Discussion
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!

Ive been playing skate 3 for way to long. Over the years i have thought of some great ideas that would make skate 4 better.
1. you should definitly be able to break your board, and when you do you should have to pay for a new one not just select a new one.
2. you should actually have sponsors like in skate 2 and the sponsors pay you
3. you shuld be able to select what type of skater you are, street or vert, and based of your style there would be compititions for that
4. the comcpetitions should be longer, you should get trophies and money from them.
5. more custumization, like add text to shirts, choose different grip tapes
6. you should have a house that has a private skatepark in the back
7. you should be able to do stalls and actually be able to skate a mini ramp
8. you should get awards presented by thrasher like, roockie of the year and skater of the year
9. you should be able to film videos for your sponsors
10. there should be more skaters like Paul Rodriguez, Aaron Jaws Homoki, Ryan Sheckler and many more.
11. weather, the time of day should change, there should be different weather like rain and sunshine, night and day
12. bring back trains
13. have some spots be real ones like El Toro, The LA Ditch, Hollywood High
14. idk if this is possible but whaterever time it is in real life that should be the tie in the game
Hey, a lot of those are good ideas. Although i'm two years late on replying, a lot of those things have been made in old skate games. For example, spots like El toro or Holly wood high being remade and added to the game, they did that in skate 3 with 3rd and Army and Brooklyn Banks. Instead they were called, 2nd and Navy and Bricklyn Banks.
