EA confirms Skate 2 for PS3

Posted on May 12th, 2008 at 15:49 EDT

Electronic Arts confirmed today that Skate 2 is currently in development for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.

The original Skate was developed by EA Black Box and released for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 in September 2007. It outsold rival skateboarding title and past genre king, Tony Hawk's Proving Ground by 2 to 1, which has caused Activision to rethink its strategies by revamping the series in order to reclaim the digital skating crown.

EA hasn't revealed any additional information about the game, thus we can't provide an estimated release date. When we hear more about Skate 2, we'll let you know.

I loved the first one, now i just hope they:

2. adds more tricks

3 makes a more open city with even more cool places

4. makes a better and more open online mode

5 adds a lot more goals

I really hope they're using the Euphoria engine. The ragdoll physics made for decent bails, but no where even closse to what could be done using Euphoria.

psn id: gingo... not really into skateboarding games but skate was far better than proving ground so i'm guessing skate 2 will be better than whatever else tony hawk people come up with
