The Skate series is really good. EA needs to make 4 already.

OlliOlli is also fun, but different.

In my opinion, they focused on realism and it killed the games. Look at Tony Hawks underground 2, all the crazy tricks you do.. its all about pushing limits, great storylines, crazy jumps that would never be possible. But thats what made the series fun.. grinding on electric wires was awesome, getting up there was a blast!

TLDR: they are focusing on realism and graphics instead of the sheer fun factor.

Skate killed Tony Hawk and EA killed Skate. Skating is still huge but these companies are so incompetent. It really is the perfect time for some indie company to come in and take charge.

Who is the face of X-Games nowadays?

It's been a while for me, as I remember Lasek, Burnquist, Pastrana, Mat Hoffman and Hawk.

Activision worked Neversoft to the bone and the games became crap. Then THPS ride and shred happened and everyone fell off. Then THPSHD and 5 happened and everyone super duper fell off.

At some point, I think around the mid-00's, someone suddenly came to the realization that collecting the letters to spell SKATE isn't actually fun

That reminds me of how good Skate or Die 2's title theme song is.
