New IP from EA Black Box Delivers the Most Authentic Skateboard Videogame Experience
The closest thing to being on a skateboard, Electronic Arts announced today that SKATE will be released for the PS3
system and the Xbox 360 video game and entertainment system in 2007.
SKATE will deliver the feel of skating through innovative controls,
authentic cameras and a fully reactive skateboarding city. The game
features professional skaters such as Danny Way and PJ Ladd, as well as
a reactive city and relevant in-game cameras that capture and deliver
the most authentic skateboard videogame experience to date.
"Our
game offers a skate mecca for both skaters and gamers in search of the
definitive authentic skating video game experience," said Scott
Blackwood, executive producer, EA Black Box. "We're focused on
capturing the actual feeling of skating with the innovative control
system, the physics driven animations, the intelligent cameras working
together to really deliver the closest thing to being on a board."
SKATE's
unique control scheme captures the true feel of skating versus the
typical button mashing gameplay of past skating games. Featuring
physics-driven animations, gamers will have a unique gaming experience
every time they pick up the controller since no two tricks will ever be
the same.
Developed by EA Black Box in Vancouver, British
Columbia, SKATE will deliver all the style, fun, creativity and culture
of skateboarding without the countless hours of practice, broken bones
and hospital visits. SKATE has not yet been rated by PEGI or USK.
