Skate or THPG?

Well, before I played the Skate demo, I was thinking, THPG is going to be the best, just look at it, it's amazing, new video features and such. Then I played Skate. I think I went to heaven. Everything felt so much more real, I had more control, and I just enjoyed the experience much more. The skill required to time my grinds correctly, the touch necessary to go into a manual from a flip trick, it all felt so much better. Anyways, I was wondering what other people thought about this. I decided that I'm not buying a single game upon release this season, I'm waiting for reviews on every single one, which means that I'm holding off on Skate until THPG comes out and I can compare the reviews. But I was wondering what other people thought. Any opinion?

PS - I think it's the spawn of a new era, EA actually made a good game.

Skate is a nice change from all the TH games out there... Its much more realistic I would have to agree to that... And yes I think I would go with Skate... Its a change to the better... But its what you like...

As much as I have loved the TH franchise back in day especially, I doubt it will get any better aytime soon.

skate. on the other hand has a very innovative control scheme making it way more satisfying to pull tricks.

Making it a more rewarding experience overall so my vote goes to SKATE. !!!!!! ;)

Proving Grounds... yea they definitely have alot to prove. ahahahaha!

skate looks boring

no one wants to do realistic tricks, people want to go overboard

I'd rather have tony hawk

Yup, skate it is, it actually seems to focus on skating, as a former skater it is definitely more appealing than THPG, it's been the same game ever since THPS3.

Thug was no hit in my book, and for me Skate is revolution, skate is the culture of skating captured inside a game, not only is it a TH series rival, it's gonna knock mr.Hawke off the throne

Well EA produce and distribute, 3rd parties develope the games, so you can't really blame EA for their success ;).

And it's true, TH HAS BEEN the only way to go so far, and here comes the change for the better.

On first play-through I wasn't crazy for Skate, but as I have played it more I have began to enjoy it a lot more. That isn't to say THPG will be bad, I think they will both be fun in their own ways.

If you don't know how it broke, maybe a circle of scratches was created? here's a tip, lay your 360 down, dont stand it up, it'll chew you dvd's up, I lost ES Oblivion to this crappy deal.Keitarourashima

Thanks for the help, but I've never had my 360 in the vertical position. And actually, there is a crack in the disc. But again, thanks for the tip, I'll pass it on to others.
