It is already among us, although not everyone can access it. The new installment of Skate is available for a small group of players who are testing the benefits of a really early version of the EA game. Now, thanks to a user who claims to have access to the title, we have been able to learn new details.
For example, the most obvious thing is that there are no textures of any kind on the map, something that we could see in the recent trailer. This is a first draft of the work that runs on the company’s Frostbite engine and for now can be experienced on a map called Fun City.
The user ensures that everything looks like a mix between old areas of the saga and new ideas, although it remains to be seen if the final design will stay that way. Bus stops act as fast travel points, while we can choose up to three control modes that adjust to the type of experience we want to live.
Two camera plan options are also available in the test. skateboarding and it seems that customization will be the order of the day. New shirts and hats will appear to equip them as we improve our skills, which will lead us to get in-game currencies with which to buy more items.
In fact, some of the materials that we collect can be used to create new elements. We can increase up to 100 levels throughout the game, while at the same time earning a reputation within the scene. We will be able to edit our videos and photos and if people like them, we will receive likes so that they appear published in the main trending lists.
Of course, we can always choose to skate on our own in a private skate park that we built during the tutorial. Of course, we will have to be very careful because if we reach very high speeds it will be really difficult to master skateboarding.
However, the Reddit user makes it clear that there is still a lot of work to do and for now we have to wait for a release date that we do not know completely.
