GrandThingsIf you ever want a laugh, go to the EA Sports Instagram page (@ea). Legit EVERY comment from the past 2 years is just people asking for Skate 4.
I honestly don't know how dumb they can be, to see this much demand for something and not deliver.

theabortionatorYeah they could sell enough to pay for it in preorders.
Could legit use physics from 3 and reskin everything and make new levels and story and people would buy it.

eheathThat's not how game developers work, they don't just make a game because people ask for it on social media. For the most part, game devs of AAA games operate on their own schedule, their own terms and only make a game if they think they should, they dont care what you or anyone else actually thinks, they know way more about their audience and customers than some dumb fuck kid posting "make skate 4" on their instagram. IDGAF is thousands of different people posted on their instagram, thats just not how it works.
My guess is they are waiting/slowly working on skate 4 in anticipation for the next gen of consoles, being able to make a game for a more powerful machine = better game so I'll play skaterXL while I wait.
GrandThingsOk true I have literally 0 idea how video game development works but in terms of their target audience and potential customer, I'd argue that those "dumb fuck kids" are their exact audience? I'm not arguing with the "how it works", (which you're obviously correct about given that the game hasnt been made yet,) but rather just pointing out "they" (ea, developers, whoever, or even someone 3rd part) is dumb af for not capitalizing on it. I couldnt believe it took this long for something like Skater XL to come out (which looks terrible IMO)
I'd agree if it was just a handful of comments but its legit every thousands of unique comments for the last like 5 years on all of their posts. I work in ecommerce and most companies/brands/products would KILL to get that type of engagement/demand. To the best of my knowledge, EA hasn't even acknowledged it.
eheathEA is a huge company (33B market cap) they do what they want, TBH they might "want" to make the game but they're stacking paper RN making other games, plus the dev group that made skate doesn't exists anymore, EA killed it so thats probably part of the issue too. I mostly get bothered by people who say "i cant believe theyre not capitalizing on *insert something they think would be popular* what idiots!" like its a very successful game dev, they aren't idiots, theyre chasing money and as much as you think skate is a no brainer, it might not be for the business, which neither of us know about.
GrandThingsYeah totally. Just so fucking frustrating tho, I want Skate 4 so bad haha
Have you played Skater XL yet? I'm not super into video games but I might buy a switch just to have something to play during quarantine and a shitty skating game is better than nothing. I didnt think the physics looked awesome from trailers I've seen but I heard there are no "set animations" so tricks will always look a little different, which sounds cool
