One upon a time, the Tony Hawk's Pro Skater series was the king of skateboarding games.
Then a snappy little upstart called
Skate came along and stole the crown. As the
THPS games got more and more ridiculous,
Skate took a more realistic approach. Fans loved the new controller set up and more rewarding approach to setting up trick combos.
Skate 2 and
Skate 3 followed, with the latter arriving in 2010. It's been seven years since we got to play a new
Skate game, and the series is sorely missed; if you check out
EA's Instagram, almost every single comment is 'Skate 4'.
Well your prayers may about to be answered. Possibly. Maybe.

What does this mean? We don't know. What do we hope this means? That
Skate 4 is going to be dropped tomorrow. Will this mean that
Skate 4 gets dropped tomorrow? No.
But goddamn it, if we don't get some concrete information about
Skate 4 after this, we're gonna explode.
