Skate It trailer looks underwhelming

Saturday, June 28th, 2008 at 2:54pm by Blake

I’m still anxious to play Skate It on Wii, but this new trailer dashed my spirits a bit. Who spilt drab on San Vanelona? And why is every edge or rail orange and blue?

    Visually, that game looks absolutely awful.

    All I’d like is original xbox level graphics, why does that seem to be so difficult for so many companies.

    yuck! (as posted in the http://www.infendo.com/forums/viewtopic.php?id=2667 )

    That video looks like a first generation PS2/GCN game.

    I have to agree with everyone here. This game looks worse than any of the Tony Hawk titles on GCN, and almost as primitive as the N64 ones! EA and the developer (can’t remember who) both need to step up, especially considering the complete lack of bystanders and other graphic-munching models in the environments!
    No thank you.

    And people say the Wii isn’t just two GCs taped together. Hah.

    But seriously, those graphics are horrible. I can tell they over-used a bunch of tiles, and the sides of base of the light pole didn’t match up. The character model was just awful. If this is indicative of the final product there’s no way I’m getting it. Graphics may not be everything, but they have to be something!

    @Mike: The lack of bystanders has been marked up by EA as “several mysterious disasters have caused widespread damage and a mass evacuation of the city, leaving the player free to skate alone and undisturbed.”

    @ neko to kuruma… two GCs taped together can’t play galaxy or prime or kart wii (which looks a LOT better than the GC version).

    don’t piss on a system just because EA is being lazy developing a game that isn’t already a massive franchise. honestly; you should never judge any system on what EA does.
