The opening cinematics to the career mode in Skate 1 is probably one of my favorite things in all of video games.
Also, the amount of love and presentation put into Skate 1 vs. Skate 3 is wild.
If Skate 4 wants to be great, it needs to go back to what made the original so fun.
Only a little. Make sure the game has the fluidity of 3 with the presentation of 1 and you're gold.
Being free to play kind of scares me about the new one, but I guess we'll see.
