Product information
Skate
Skate is the closest thing to skateboarding without actually putting your feet on a board. With innovative controls that take advantage of the dual analog sticks, the power of the next gen hardware, and the ability to sculpt tricks that define your own style, skate delivers an authentic boarding mecca like no other videogame.
Individual style combined with physics-driven animations promise that no two tricks will ever be the same. And there's plenty of room to pull off those tricks-San Vanelona challenges you to explore, find, and own the best spots. You can even capture footage to create and show off your style with friends across the world-because without footage, it's fiction.
Get ready for all the fun, creativity and culture of skateboarding without the hours of practice, broken bones, and hospital visits.
EA’s first foray into the skating genre results in a realistic simulation with a revolutionary new control system.
Set in the fictional city of San Vanelona, a location based on San Francisco, Vancouver and Barcelona, skate allows the player to customise their own character with which to explore the city. Offering the freedom to progress through the game in their own way, players can achieve fame by competing in a variety of events and photo-ops, or accomplish notoriety on the underground scene by enaging in death races and annoying security guards.
The core of the gameplay experience is determined by how skate controls, and with skate, EA use an excellent intuitive control system similar to the one implemented in boxing game Fight Night. While skating, the left stick controls the direction of the character, while the right stick enables the player to crouch down into an ollie position. Then, while airborne, players can use a combination of the triggers and sticks to pull off an array of tricks that make full use of the superb physics engine.
Incorporating a fully functional online mode (allowing users to upload runs and engage in multiplayer action), skate has come to challenge Tony Hawk as the most popular game in the genre.
