Not being able to walk in the originalSkatewas a major pain in the ass, but as evidenced in the video above, EA Black Box is more than making up for it inSkate 2.
Not only will you be able to maneuver freely on foot, you’ll also have the ability to abort unsuccessful tricks by kicking off your board (at people!) and landing flat on the ground. Perhaps this means I can finally quit my anger management classes.
Even better,Skate 2has movable in-game objects which will hopefully provide for potentiallyhilarious resultswhen it comes down to watching replays.
Although the game isn’t due out until next year and there’s obviously plenty more to see content-wise, I feel like the firstSkatewas a strong enough starting point thatSkate 2won’t need very many improvements to be another hit. Still, that’s not to say I wouldn’t welcome them; I would, and you probably would too.
