It's still early, but Skate looks to be coming along nicely.
, EA's upcoming kickflip-and-grind sim, which is now officially called just Skate—"skate.," technically, but we're pretty sticky about the proper use of capitalization and punctuation around here, so Skate it is. We got our first glimpse at it courtesy of some"We told you we’re back, and we’re still working on it—but it’s time for you to see what we’ve been up to," EA said.
It definitely looks early. The video, labelled"pre-pre-pre-alpha," begins with a bare-bones mechanical showcase in a world without textures, before eventually transforming into something more polished, but still a little rough around the edges. It's an interesting look at a game in the early stages of development, especially since that sort of"under construction" perspective is generally not shared by major publishers like EA.
The really interesting thing about the trailer, though, is the blend of skating and parkour on display—"skarkour," as features producer Nat Clayton put it. Most of the action is on boards, naturally, but there's no overlooking the moments of swinging, climbing, and wallrunning scattered here and there, either..
"We’re very early in the development of Skate and are bringing players into the game much sooner than is the norm in our industry," the states."We’re incredibly passionate about skate and want to ensure we’re building the best possible game, and that’s why we want you playing and providing feedback early enough for us to make meaningful decisions and changes ahead of a worldwide launch."Andy has been gaming on PCs from the very beginning, starting as a youngster with text adventures and primitive action games on a cassette-based TRS80.
