SKATE 3 Gets Social

EA today announced that SKATE 3 will be shipping in May 2010 for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, and that the latest sequel in the franchise is going to get social, letting players build their own skate crews.
"The social and community aspects of the SKATE franchise are something we've always embraced, but we've never done anything to the scale you're going to see in SKATE 3," said Senior Producer, Jason DeLong. "We're giving gamers a very unique experience by providing them with the tools they need to build their ultimate team or to create a team comprised entirely of their online friends. From there, it's all about proving yourself - teaming up, and throwing down."
With the all-new co-op mode, you'll be able to complete challenges together while advancing each other's careers. And if the newest skater paradise, Port Carverton, isn't enough for you, the skate.Create feature suite will let you build your own skate park as well as create your own graphics and videos. Oh, and pre-ordering SKATE 3 will get you a code that will unlock the Black Box Distribution Skate Park!








Yay. I clocked up a lot of my free time on the first 2 games and I think this one can't come sooner...
