The player in the clip doesn’t seem to have a firm grip on the controls (sorry!), but the tricks certainly seem more inaccessible than in more casual games Ice skating 2 and Ice skating 3.All in all, it sounds like you’re actually controlling a human avatar listening to you, rather than a limbo mess that records heads five seconds after you send them. For example, you can slide and do somersaults indefinitely. Off-board transmission has been much improved over poor, inaccurate controls of Ice skating 3.Riders Republic but certainly more than any number before Ice skates game. The multiplayer component seen in the official trailer certainly looks like a mainstay of development In many leaked clips, you can see a large crowd of athletes in action, all chopped up and crashing into each other - not quite. While all properties are still placeholders, it bears a stark resemblance to the sunny Port Carverton scene in Ice skating 3. Either way, Sk4te looks set to take place in a different California cityscape. (I bet they have a great outdoor dining and pedestrian policy.) However, EA’s official trailer does mention “San Amsterdam,” so the name of the setting may have been misleading. The first video shows a fictional, apparently California-inspired metropolis called the “Fun City”.An EA representative did not respond to a request for comment.īut speaking as a die-hard fan, having played hundreds of hours of the series, this new shot is super fun. It’s also important to note that this footage has not been officially verified, so things are subject to change. They appear to show gameplay footage from an earlier build of the game, which is coarser than the moments shown in EA’s official trailer. Yesterday, an anonymous individual uploaded four videos to Google Drive ( via Reddit). (Note: Who here has heard of Barbara Streisand?) The final EA, official this time, published a few minutes of the “pre-pre-pre-alpha” gameplay scene last month, to encourage players to register Sk4teupcoming technical tests.Īll of those are small potatoes compared to this week’s leaks. EA tried to suppress echo in its song, so apparently, it did more rounds. However, earlier this year, a 30-second clip about extremely rudimentary footage of doing the rounds. In the next official announcement Ice skates game - colloquially known as Ice skating 4 but monstrous ‘better to be titled Sk4te or my co-worker, Jeremy Winslow and I will cry – EA hasn’t released any footage or details. Then not E3 2020, EA announced the revival of the series.

For a decade, the series lay dormant, its main development studio, Black Box, shuttered by EA a few years after its 2010 release. In the late 2000s, Ice skates dominates the skateboarding game scene thanks to its commitment to realistic tricks, controls, and physics. So far, the game looks great-like, “Oh no, this is going to eat up my time” is awesome. There are a lot of pre-release scenes about Ice skating 4 out in the wild right now you’ll think it’s my kitchen sink! That’s right, gameplay clips for the next entry in EA’s skateboarding series, which don’t have a release window, appear to have leaked once again. If you like the official footage (see here), you’ll love the unfiltered stuff.
