Quote from EA's website:
"The franchise also continues to raise the bar for user created content with the skate.Create feature suite, an innovative toolset that empowers gamers to truly express their skate style by creating their own graphics, videos, and skate parks."
Those last two words are what I have been waiting for in the Skate franchise. Some may call this game 'too soon', but as I see it, there is a brand new world to skate and the ability to craft my own skateparks.
That feature alone will add almost infinite replayability provided that the share and review systems are in place properly. Label me excited for May '10.

Just as I was starting to finally get burnt on Skate 3. Making a skate park is going to beat the hell out of moving stuff around.
I was just thinking that I wanted to buy Skate 2 for my PS3 to play it again because I can't play my old copy on my dead 360, but now I can hold off and wait for Skate 3 :) I don't know how much new stuff they could have added in such a short time, but being able to create a skate park will be great.
I hope the advanced video editing features are standard this time and they don't make us pay $5 for something that should be in the original game. Also i hope they have more freeskate activities for the casual skater, maybe some events like in the carrer mode where the player who gets the crowd riled up the most wins. There's a lot they can do with the skate franchise and as long as they keep their own unique flavor they stand a good chance against Tony Hawk.
" @Najaf: I would like to see it return though along with the park creator so you can mess around while skating. I just hope they improve it like add stacking. I wonder if when you make a park you get to pick where it goes in the city or if you can only warp to them by map. I think it would be pretty cool to find vacant lots throughout the city that you can turn into parks. "
That that would be cool, if you wanna build your own skate park then you find a vacant lot and buy it with the money you earn from photo challenges. I know i was bummed that in skate 2 i was able to earn over a million dollars but there were only TWO parks to buy(the Fun Track and the Monster Clubhouse).
One more thing i forgot that i'd like to see in skate 3, DO SOMETHING WITH THE NPC SKATERS!!!!!!! I always felt like they were just there to get in your way and didn't server any purpose. Yeah you could points for skating over another skater but it wasn't like you could tell them "Hey, skate around this spot while i jump over you!".
" I think it would be pretty cool to find vacant lots throughout the city that you can turn into parks. "I think that's a great idea.
I hope things you move around stay where you put them in Skate 3. Sometimes I make these pretty awesome skating areas with all kinds of shit I find lying around but as soon as I teleport somewhere else or turn off the game everything resets. It's frustrating.
I also would love an open color tool for everything from hoodies to shoes. The graphics creator fromt skate 2 was nice, but there is room to grow.
" Bet you anything the create a skatepark feature will be a glitchy piece of crap. "Based on?
They have to work on the character creation, though. Damn. The first and second have some of the worst character creation systems I've seen in new games. No matter what you do, your guy's gonna' look like a neanderthal. It looks like they've made it a little better, and I'm hoping it was heavily overhauled. Aside from the facial details, I'm happy with being able to make graphics, and that looks to be a part of the park creation now, too. Really cool.
Raising the bar over 5 years after Tony Hawk did it. Sweet. Whatever, it still sounds good. I just hope they actually make Skate 3 a better game, instead of a janky sequel like Skate 2 was.
I really hope I can import my designs from Skate 2. Spent the last hour working on this. (Background's transparent.)
Hate to bump the topic, but I haven't seen this posted yet. New video showing off every aspect of the creator. Placement and scaling of custom logos on clothing, as well as color and theme edits for parks. They even show off a created megapark.
