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!

In addition to what this young man said I am practically in tears to find out that it is HIGHLY possible skate 4 could be coming =') Myself, scantraxx77, and my friend, ODS1992, play skate 3 almost every single day together and due to a lot of glitching done by a lot of people on various S.K.A.T.E levels to do ridiculous tricks we play our own games of S.K.A.T.E we are very found of particular down rail located in on the boarder of the loading docks and second and navy.
Things that could also be added:
NEW FLIP TRICKS- the following examples can be found on youtube for reference ex: HOSPITAL FLIP, BETA FLIP, DOLPHIN FLIP, ALPHA FLIP etc. Chris Haslem actually has a wild trick on youtube the name escapes me but if I remember correctly he does a front side kickflip and half way through and punts the board with his back foot to do an under laser flip. EVERY trick can be turned into an underflip!
NEW S.K.A.T.E modes: flip tricks to grinds, manny pad s.k.a.t.e games it'd take some hard work to program but I think a lot of real skaters would appreciate a variety not to mention it would push people to smash those BS feebles or BS smiths into place etc. Maybe even throw customizable games of skate where you can give people multiple attempts to nail it before they get a letter. Lord knows when my friend and I skate that rail at 2nd and Navy I desperately need more than one shot. You could also throw in a voting system to dispute whether a trick is legit or not. We call each other on wild tricks like BS360 360 flip to BS feeble all the time. You could even make the games very specific for ex: I set a FS 360 Laser flip everyone else should have to spin FS as well for it to count.
LOCATIONS: Add real everyday skate parks like WOODWARD and such
Character customization: add various new piercing styles, me personally I have my ears stretched and I try to make my character look as much like me as possible I think it'd be cool to give my character my piercings and such. Oh and a major flaw in clothing from skate 3 make the skinny denim it's really annoying to see the socks and have to wear high tops to hide it. Let us give our character a voice as well that'd make it possible to make a very in depth story line and sometimes it'd be nice to be able to tell Reda or Shingo to shut up. =)
I'm out of ideas for now but I'm sure more will pop up in time =)
those that got to this point feel free to hit me up on SKATE 3 and you can come check out the 2nd and Navy rail and take us on in a game of skate =)
WITH LOVE, scantraxx77
