New ‘Skate’ Trailer Reveals Game Still In Early Development

Skate 4 is coming and gameplay does indeed exist for the game, but Full Circle and Electronic Arts aren’t ready to show you. That’s the general theme behind the new trailer for the latest in the Skate franchise, which refrained from showing any actual gameplay. Instead, this teaser gave a glimpse at the behind-the-scenes motion capture work, as well as the reaction from content creators who got to see the game firsthand.
The trailer comes following an announcement from Full Circle that they would not be participating in July 22’s EA Play Live show. Over a year after Skate 4’s announcement, the team is focusing on perfecting the first new game Skate game in 11 years, and they brought in members of the community to help. Through their reactions, it seems the new game will feature much of what made the previous Skate games so beloved, including online sessions and a large, open world. Moreover, we get a look at motion capture skaters at work, all while the narrator pokes fun at the fact that this was all the trailer had. At least it confirmed the game’s continued development, even if the team is still early in the process.
