Skate 3 Interview

To early, but looking forward to this interview.

wooooo skate 3

I bet this turns into the new Tony Hawk franchise where they will be adding hardly anything.

Not interested.

Woah, that's the longest i've seen Ryan's hair. Ain't bad though.

HAHA Steel Panther is in the soundtrack!

skate may be the only franchise i know that has looked worse over time.

I'm really scared of this game now. I love Skate but this is really looking a lot like THPS now... I mean, bulldozers? Why ever happened to the realism? I just hope there's realistic playability for those who care.

dont really care about team play but still looking forward to more skate :)

Ok, May 2010, fair enough.  I was thinking "Skate 2 JUST came out not too long ago"  
 
But still, it doesn't look like they added too much to Skate 3 at this point.  A new city, that looks stylistically like the old city. 
 
And it's still surprising that they are rolling this out right away.  Considering Skate 2 did not enjoy the same success Skate did, it would be NICE to see them try to change up the formula a bit, try something new.  The controls are the bread and butter of this franchise, but maybe change something else.

" skate may be the only franchise i know that has looked worse over time. "

I would play Skat 3

Dude...for a game like this, Ya want it to be the same! believe me.
 
I'd hate for them to ruin the formula.

What about Guitar Hero? "

I enjoyed Skate 2 and the multiplayer options were cool but they coulda done more to keep people coming back.  Maybe this new "skate team" thing indicates that the game will have clan support.

 
Since this one will be set in a brand new city i wonder how they'll explain all the pro skaters moving from San Van to here storywise.  I know i shouldn't expect much from the story in a skate game but i'm curious to see what they come up with. 

He cannot confirm nor deny the past consideration of the title "Skat3".

I dunno. Might skip number 3 and wait for 4. THPS has taught me that every other skateboarding game in a franchise should usually be skipped.
 
The additions seem very slightly incremental and probably should have put it into Skate2. Then again I probably should have skipped 2 and bought 1 for cheap instead.
 
@Ryan: Keep growing out your hair.

Great interview!

I think this game looks much better than Skate 2.  I really wish though that there would be some way to skate in NSV in Skate 3, because I really liked that city as well.

I had the pleasure of playing the alpha build at EA Guildford today. The emphasis was very much on the team modes. Overall very engaging, the control system feels very familiar. Roll on May 2010. 

Its nice to hear they're making it more user friendly and more open spaced.

If they doing nothing else but make it 60fps, I'll buy it.

Damn, Davis. Cut your hair.

SKAT3 yo.

" SKAT3 yo. "

Team, Fresh Prince of Bel-Air!!

If it's not as crazy difficult as the last two were like he says, then I'll buy it for sure.

Meh....Bought the first and enjoyed it. But skipped on 2 and it looks like i'm gonna skip this one too.  Teams? Really? Pass...
 ...and the comments are right...it doesn't look like the graphics weren't touched.
 
Ha was it me or did seem like Ryan would just jam that mic into the dude's face!! hahaha 

Ryan's hair is how a skater's should be :P

" @BolognaSoup: The producers definately said 60 FPS today "

i pre ordered back in october. i hope they touch up the graphics....
