Not real life: finally, SKATE gameplay

Had enough of real-life stunts, but zip on the gameplay? Electronic Arts finally unveils gameplay video of their challenge to the Tony Hawk franchise: SKATE on the Xbox 360and PS3. Now as to whether it shall be a successful challenge? (… There isn’t enough gameplay video here to make the call.)

Here the video lands in GameTrailers. Lots of minor street tricks, but no vert. No big air (then again: no vert). Lots of grinds on convenient edges. Still no big air. No clarification if this video is from the PS3 or Xbox 360 version, but it looks like a first build or a common render, so again, we’re not going to make substantive judgments off this “first gameplay vid” for SKATE (translation: we’d like to see more “evidence”, EA).

To do that is sort of like pulling a 900 when only ten feet off the ground or something.
