Ok. I'm gonna sum up my predictions for Skate 3. This is basically what EA is gonna tell us:
"What did we change about the Skate franchise in Skate 3? Uhh...well...uh...we changed the city. Uhhh...we added 2 new tricks. Uh...we bumped up the graphics. Uh...we got rid of Reda and gave you a new story and a new mentor and uhhh....that's pretty much it."
I really hope this is not what it's gonna be like, but I'm willing to bet that's what it will be. If it is, I'm gonna be mega-pissed. I figured they'd go nuts and give us a butt-load of new features like board snapping and replacing parts and sh*t like that, but if it's gonna be like my prediction, I'm gonna be so enraged. I'll still keep it because i like the Skate franchise, but I'm still gonna be infuriated and complain to EA.
EA - Fail at Everything.

Pretty much the same deal with Activision and MW3.

Re: My prediction for Skate 3.
Yeah. In recent years, I haven't been a big fan of EA either. The only thing they are good at is sports games.
Re: My prediction for Skate 3.
I like the Skate franchise but looking back at them, none of them were outstanding or anything.
Skate One had a great map (world?) and great characters. The story was good and the music selection was the best in the series so far. My favorite of the series. It didn't look good though. The graphics were bad and the animations weren't the best. It was missing some obvious tricks like handplants. It's still my favorite game in the series though. The characters and storyline were all very good.
Skate 2 had much better graphics and animations. The controls worked very well too. Better than the first game. It added some new tricks and a few gameplay changes. The game worked better with the increase in frame rate too. The map was worse, unfortunately. They tried to refresh the feel of the game (natural disasters happened and they rebuilt the city) and it didn't work as well as the first one although the Megapark was better. Unfortunately, the storyline was almost nonexistent. It was definitely an unfinished game from a development standpoint.
From what I have seen of Skate 3 from the demo... it's not too good. They only added a few new things and made the graphics slightly better. I must say that the falling animations are great and look real. The controls are clunkier than Skate 2 though.
I probably wont be buying it.

Re: My prediction for Skate 3.
of course they're going to hardly change the game and release it as skate 3, it's EA.
and of course, the same is true for most games with a sequel or two, it's mostly rehashed stuff marketed as "new."

Re: My prediction for Skate 3.
Honestly, I'm okay with Skate 3 doing exactly what it did. I'm also a pretty well-known and vocal critic of the whole "sequels have to be completely different" attitude.
Basically, my view on the matter is: If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
Skate 2 is basically the only game in my Xbox 360 library I play anymore. I love that game. I don't even skateboard in real life, but I enjoy the game. But I've always had a few complaints with it. The new, more robust multiplayer features fix many of them. And the new Hardcore mode fix most of the rest.
I want more control, and I want to spend less time off my board. Skate, for me, is a "screw around" game. I basically ignore the career mode and just go skate. I also play it online with friends, but Skate 2's restrictive locations in online mode put a serious damper on that fun.
I don't want more nitpicky crap. I don't want to swap out parts, etc. I just want to jump on my board and go. And I want to do it with as effective a control scheme as possible. And that's what Skate 3 delivers.
So I don't see it as a money-grab sequel. There might not be a lot of new shiny stuff, but there's DEFINITELY a hell of a lot of behind-the-scenes improvements in nearly all the areas I was hoping for. All of it adds up to a superior game experience.
Also, moved to the Gaming Forum (it exists, you know).
