For some reason, Coach Frank kinda reminds me of Billy Mays.

@Rewcastle: A My Name is Earl reference should definitely be in the game. Or crabman should be a sponsor.

I don't understand all the hate for this game.  It is a whole new city, new features, new stuff like crazy.  I don't think it's too soon at all.  Just wait until it goes on sale if you think it's too soon now.

If you made a team, and skated on hardcore mode, I'd join.

Looks alright and although I got really frustrated in the end with Skate 2 I did really love the game, but just roaming around, finding a spot and owning it.

Until you can do 900's off of every single jump, with several flips and grabs thrown in, I wouldn't worry about this turning into THPS

I still don't care about this series. I really tried to play the second one and it cost me a wireless controller.

I'm more referring to the idea that they are going to burn the series out.  This sort of game does not need an annual release, it isn't a sports game that needs to update rosters and players every season (which I'd argue isn't really needed).  Like Tony Hawk without solid steps forward after a few releases they're going to run out of ideas and ruin the series.  Don't be surprised when Skate 9 requires some sort of plastic toy to work.

I love the Skate games but I smell multiple difficulty set achievements coming which are the worst.
 
Always good to see Jason Lee involved with skating, even if it is a video game. I need to see what he's been doing with Stereo recently.

Man I used to respect this dude. Fucking Scientology.
 
It's not so much of a draw having him in your product nowadays.
 
 
The hardcore mode sounds really cool though.

@Killroycantkill:  Well. In the second game, they took out some features that were in the first just so they could charge you for them.
 
I still love the original skate. game. Just has an unmatched purity to it.

Good thing coach Frank invented the sketchy/clean landing and manual gauge by stealing it from THPS. It's clearly an improvement but don't pretend it's your invention.

I actually did that without glitching. Determination is something I have. I'm not going to lie and say I enjoyed it, though.

My biggest problem with Skate 2 was that some of the challenges were just impossible. I mean, literally impossible. I remember there being one "H-O-R-S-E" type challenge that you were forced to glitch because it was just too hard.
