Skate 3

Skate, Create and Share With Skate 3
Written Wednesday, March 24, 2010 By Richard Walker

Skate 3's May 14th release rolls ever closer, but Black Box aren't done with its series of insightful dev diaries just yet, as seen in the latest 'Skate and Create' video, which shows off the remarkable wealth of customisable stuff that you can share with your friends.

There's the skate park editor that enables you to drop items into the arena in real time and then physically drag them around with your skater. Then there's the improved graphics editor, which allows you to create custom visuals and logos to stamp on your skater's clothing or bespoke ramps, walls and banners in your skate park. Then why not invite a buddy to your fabricated skate heaven/hell for some co-op kickflippery?

You're also given the tools to cut together team videos and snippets of footage showing your best tricks or most spectacular and painful bail outs, which naturally you can share with the rest of the world.

A lot of this stuff might have popped up before in Skate 2, but here it looks deeper and extra intuitive. We're actually struggling to think of something Black Box might have overlooked for Skate 3, as there seems to be an editor for practically everything.

Ah - but can we edit what sort of underpants our skater wears!? Aha! They have missed something after all!

SiCK i cant wait for Skate 3. Hated the 1st one, LOVED the 2nd one (thanks to the camera adjustment black box made) and skate 3 is lookign to be the best yet. Let's hope they dont get carried away with the Co-op aspects.

I'll try it if they fix the absolutely horrible on foot controls from Skate 2.

Still got Skate 1 & 2, very little left to do on either (achivements-wise). Absolute quality games, above and beyond TH games by a damn long way. Granted the foot controls were poor on #2, but considering it was the "1st attempt" at that in the Skate franchise, at least it worked!

Totally stoked for Skate 3, hoping I have a job in time or I won't be getting it on release day (crosses fingers for Friday's job interview).

If it's half as good as the other 2, it'll be amazing!

Black Box & EA, in terms of Skate, Kudos to you both! Fantastic franchise with great post-launch support & DLC X-D

This stuff is pretty simple, I don't see how they didn't think to put it in the first two.

I only played a tad bit of SKATE1 and bought SKATE2. Gotta say it's probably a game I could of lived without. I had more fun with American Wasteland due to it being more arcadey I guess.

I do gotta say they did a great job with it however. They really supported the hell out of the title which grants them my respect.

i was sold on this franchise from the time i played the demo for skate 1. i love the more realistic feel as opposed to the arcade style of TH, with that said im not sure how much further that can take these games so this might be the last good games in this franchise.

Ill a little skeptical about the object drops because id really skate rather stick to realistic game play but everything else looks sick.

This got me thinking.. Both skate 1 and 2 both had demos.. However this skate (however much one would be welcome) doesnt need a demo for a day one purchase for me :)

and @7 good luck

it seems like they are taking skate into the same direction they did with the TH games. I felt the same way about skate 1 as the first TH game. I used to be a HUGE TH fan but now i cant stand it. I fear the same thing is going to happen to skate. Most of the new stuff in Skate 3 is taken strait from the TH series. Create a park, skater, board. The only thing is missing is Bam. (lets hope it stays that way).

Really hope the video editor lives up to what they say. Skate 2's was good, but you could only make videos of one single trick, and each one lasted for about 12 seconds.

I'd love to be able to make a full skate video, of at least 5 minutes in length, with lots of different tricks/bails/static shots cut together, and to be able to give it a soundtrack and logo and all. I know they mentioned you can embed that in your teams profile or whatever, but I want to be able to send that off to my friends and really show it off.

That said, I only have about 2 friends on my list who play the Skate games, so anyone who wants to play around on Skate 3, add me in advance if you like. My gamertag is JoeyStone.

I love the skate games and it does sound like theyre getting very creative with the things you can edit. I just hope they took some time to make the game run a little smoother from the skating down to the off the board movement especially.

Why do you need a Cap card? You can upload all of your vids and pics to the skate.reel site and download them to your computer.

skate 1 and 2 were both fantastic. i have been skateboarding for 12 years or so and it is very lifelike....blows the tony hawk franchise out of the water....i will buy every single skate game that is ever released without a doubt.
