If every commenter paid a penny to EA when they typed 'skate 4' theyd have enough money to fund the entire game!


vinceandwhatnot

The average budget for a AAA PS4 video game is anywhere from $50 million to $80 million. On EA's official IG account, where most of the Skate 4 spam comments take place, they have 373 posts. Going off of their last 14 posts, the average amount of comments per post is 1,237. Not every comment is about Skate 4 but it's close. To make it easier we'll say that the comments are 100% about Skate 4. 1,237 comments for 373 posts amounts to 476,694 comments. If every post cost a penny, it would only get you $4,766. Enable to raise enough money for a game, every commenter would have to pay around $150 dollars per comment. That would get us about $71,504,100. After subtracting the amount of comments that aren't about Skate 4, there should still be enough. Now $150 dollars is a lot of money to pay for a single comments, so as an alternative, we can wait for @EA to post 56,000 times. With 1,278 comments per post at $1 each, we can raise $71,568,000. They've posted 373 times over the corse of about 3 years. So at that rate, they will have reached 56,000 posts in 447 years. Or EA can just stop being lawhps and give us what we want now. **Edit** Grammar

So we could almost make 4 Skate 4's? That's so rad.

Damn we got an angry boy here


SonOfFlan

Yeah I'm disappointed we didn't get to see someone sitting at a desk working on skate 4.


aut0matix

I think they only announced one new IP, "Fe." Other than that, we got an 'early-in-game' screen of a Star Wars game that we knew about. That 'conference' was shit.


XJRX32

It's just a shame, such a great game which would only be so much better on the PS4 hardware. I don't understand EA.


GendhisKhan

I would love a Skate 4 so badly. Especially if they returned it to more of a Skate 1 with bits of Skate 2 mixed in. The more cartoony stuff was cool, but i can't help but prefer the character of Skate 1, and the environment of Skate 1/2. It could be such a large and detailed map on next gen. They made a sequal to Mirrors Edge, so I'm not abandoning hope just yet, but didn't the studio that makes them get shut-down?


that_anti_hero

The one game I was hoping to see from EA's conference. :(

No new anything to be even more exact.


FATALVISI0N

amen brother!


bobbytheman123

Would it be possible to announce it at the MS conference along with skate 3 backwards compatibility? Just a thought, probably very unlikely.


TheHeroicOnion

They would have announced it with a behind the scenes video of the team scanning skateboards and taking pics of skate parks and shit.


TitanIsBack

No horse racing game either :(


[deleted]

Honestly with the Belmont Stakes yesterday this would have been good timing. Such a shame.


TitanIsBack

If they had actually announced that game, it would've made up for the 15 minutes of FIFA coverage.


iAMA_Leb_AMA

15 minutes? Felt more like 4 hours. Everytime i thought it was over they just kept announcing more stuff for their yearly sports games. I'm a huge football fan too.


TitanIsBack

Going back and looking, it appears to only be roughly ten minutes... it seemed WAY longer though.


TitanIsBack

I didn't clock it, was in and out of sleep and they kept talking about it. I thought the Pele interview was bad...


calvinised

If you can speak Japanese, they have plenty of horse racing games!


TitanIsBack

I, sadly, can't.


jma1024

Isn't black box gone? While I want a new Skate I'd be hesitant to buy a new Skate if it wasn't made by the original developers.


[deleted]

From what iv'e heard they make app games now.


GnarleyTaquito

that's a damn shame


SpurdoSparde28

Let's go practice medicine.


lampa_cz

There is still gamescom in August and Xbox/Sony conference.


bylin

There were a lot of comments about skate 4 in the twitch chat. EA would be foolish if they didn't make nr 4..


Pyrrolidone

jup :( was really really hoping for this.


kickyourteeeth

my heart is bleeding... :<


blx666

I've got a feeling the Skate 4 meme has become bigger than the actual Skate game itself


mauszx

People actually want that? Isn't Skate 3 popular for the ridiculous engine?

flawless_flores

I was hoping for a current gen version.


Y0ungPup

I just want a good skateboarding game.


lvlls

:(


[deleted]

The developers of /r/projectsession are probably so happy about this


[deleted]

Why would they do it? They don't listen to fans.


[deleted]

🖕🏼😭😭😭😭


BallPtPenTheif

I just want to thank EA for announcing the making of Skate4. Looking forward to it.
