Skate 2 Details

By Shane | July 27, 2008

The upcoming September issue of EGM has the first details on EA’s smash hit skateboarding game Skate, which evidently did an ollie over Tony Hawk last year:

• Takes place five years after the original game, after the city’s been hit by an unknown disaster and had to be rebuilt.
• Includes an option to play as a female character.
• This time around with a character editor, inspired by the one featured in the Tiger Woods series.

On these few points, I say huh? To the first one: An unknown disaster? I’m thinking Skate: Post Apocalyptic Ice Age or something there, this could get interesting.

Adding female characters to the game is a smart move – especially for the “Bettys” who also like gaming.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but it seems as if EA is adding their character editor to every game now. Still, it will add a nice dynamic to the sequel.
