EA: Do you really want to know whether we are making Skate 4 or not? (Pay $10 for the answer) YES / NO
Both the creative director and the game director were the ones that made the announcement, so I would say outside of having cutting budget cut or some other unforeseen circumstances it is coming. It will likely be on the next gen consoles though.
Because EA is a terrible company ruining every franchise they have so you want a skate game with micro transactions and or a pay wall
I don't really want EA to trash Skate, I just want the EA developers who love creating good games to focus on Skate. And I'm kinda hoping the ppl who want to milk out every single games they make to focus on other games
