EA goes back to Skating
Electronic Arts has announced Skate, an upcoming skateboarding title for the PS3. Next-Gen reports that the game is under development at EA Vancouver, and should ship sometime (read: late) in 2007. Little else is known except that EA has licensed 14 pro skateboarders. The company has long been absent from the skating genre, with its last major release being Skate or Die in 1987. Skate also faces an uphill battle from the Tony Hawk series, which hasn't had serious competition since its debut in 1999. UPDATE: EA says the game will come to the 360 as well.
