Beyond and hello and welcome once again to IGN's weekly PlayStation show.

I'm your host, Max Scoville, and coming up we are talking Ollie's kickflips, Pop Shovets,

and other acts of arcane skateboard magic that you can attempt in EA's upcoming skate reboot,

as well as the freshly remade Tony Hawks Pro Skater 3 and 4.

Plus, we're taking a look back at some familiar developer logos from years past.

Let's get into it. Plus, we're taking a look back at some familiar developer logos from years past.

Let's get into it.

This week I'm joined by Jada Griffin and Nick Maier, who's usually behind the seat, the

behind the camera doing production you know, production direction, technical stuff. But this week you're here to joining us to talk about skate, which you got a chance to play a preview of. What's going on with skate? Yeah. So it is, for those that aren't aware, it's skate for, they remanded it to skate.

It is a live service, but it's not like a bad thing about it.

Okay, I played about five, maybe six hours of the game and my preview should be up right now on IGN. And I left really, really, really happy and like super, super, like looking forward to playing the game again.

It is everything that I love from skate two and skate three.

I didn't really play too much of skate one just because that was like on the PS3 and 360.

I didn't have that at the time.

But it like, I don't know, it's just, it's fun to play like a sandbox game where you kind of can just mess around and have fun, which is kind of the whole point of the original skate games. And it's just, it's just a blast. Yeah, I was watching some of the early access gameplay for this. And it looks, it looks really, really fun. Like, I mean, in a very kind of just simple, like, chill kind of screw around and just, like, just enjoy yourself kind of way. I guess where's the, where does the challenge lie? Like, do they have, you know, hardcore mode? Is there, you know, are there objectives you're going for?

Because like I, we're going to talk about Tony Hawk in a minute.

But like I jumped into that and I was like, oh, I like to skateboard in video games and

immediately proceeded to just suck terribly at it.

And like the idea of skate being kind of just like a fun, you know, mess around, chill

experience is really appealing.

But I know that obviously some people want,

you know, more of a challenge to it. Yeah. Yeah, there's, there's objectives all over the map.
