'Skate 3' to focus on teams
Not only has EA confirmed "Skate 3" for a May 2010 release (Xbox 360, PS3), the video game company has also started to spill the first details of the highly anticipated title.
According to the press release EA provided, "'Skate 3' breaks new ground by taking all of the camaraderie and competitive excitement of real-life skateboarding and brings it to the hands of gamers. Whether online or offline, players can now team up to build the ultimate skate crew in the definitive skateboarding co-op experience. In 'Skate 3,' players take part in team-based challenges, compete against rival crews and leave their mark on the all-new skater's paradise, Port Carverton.
"'Skate 3' features an all-new co-op mode where teammates can complete challenges together while advancing each other's careers. From rewarding epic bails and fails with a beefed up Hall of Meat mode to honing your craft with the all-new skate.School, players of all skill levels have multiple ways to 'kill it' in the game. The franchise also continues to raise the bar for user created content with the skate create feature suite, an innovative toolset that empowers gamers to truly express their skate style by creating their own graphics, videos, and skate parks."
Players who pre-order the game will also get a code to unlock the Black Box Distribution skate park, which is said to be the home turf of the Zero, Mystery, and Fallen skate teams in the game.
