Skate 3 is coming out in early May and I for one and pumped. Of course I started playing Skate 2 again in anticipation of EA’s upcoming release, and it got me thinking. Why the hell is EA taking so long on a “Snowboarding” game?! Seriously, Stoked Big Air was a good game, best so far, but it doesn’t have the Skate physics engine and ollie system that is so necessary for both sport styles.
We need a boarding game where your approach style and angle account for your spins. Where popping off a lip means more air time. Where landings can be buttered out and weight actually counts for something in your rider. I know I’m not speaking to the deaf here, this is not a new argument by any means. I figure, either it’s harder to create than we all think, or it’s already in production. Here’s to hoping it’s the latter.
