The firm debuted a trailer with what it calls “pre-pre-pre-alpha” footage of the upcoming skateboarding sequel, and even on this early kind, the sport looks prefer it has rather a lot of promise.

A later half of the video has extra complete-looking graphics, and it seems this new Skate entry will proceed the sequence’ realism. There are glimpses of a number of extra outlandish concepts, too, like some hilariously tall ramps and a constructing that looks impressed by a pachinko board. And many of the pictures present rather a lot of skate boarders without delay, suggesting that the remaining sport may allow you to pull off methods with a bunch of different individuals close by.
We still don’t know when the sport is perhaps launched, and on condition that that is pre-pre-pre-alpha footage, it doesn’t seem to be you need to anticipate it anytime quickly. But when you’re desirous about playtesting the sport, you are able to do that on EA’s web site.
