Skate 3 in mid-May

PALGN News | Tony Hawk dies a little inside.

EA has announced that the third game in the Skate franchise will be making its way to the Xbox 360 and the PlayStation 3 on 11 May in the US, with the game to be available internationally on 14 May.

The series will have more of a team focus this time around in both the online and offline components. This will include cooperative and competitive modes. The game will also feature a level editor to allow players to make their own creations to skate all over, and a new skate school triaining mode which will presumably focus on the new modes of play.

The game will also move out of San Vanelona for the first time, with Port Carverton becoming the new location-of-choice. EA has also detailed Skate 3's full roster of skaters, which includes:

Mark Appleyard
Ray Barbee
Joey Brezinski
Dennis Busenitz
John Cardiel
Mike Carroll
Chris Cole
Jason Dill
Dan Drehobl
Pat Duffy
Rob Dyrdek
Benny Fairfax
Ryan Gallant
Chris Haslam
Jerry Hsu
Josh Kalis
Terry Kennedy
Lizard King
Eric Koston
P.J. Ladd
Jason Lee (as Coach Frank)
Colin McKay
Darren Navarrette
Lucas Puig
John Rattray
Andrew Reynolds
Ryan Smith
Braydon Szafranski
Danny Way

All of the pros from past Tony Hawk games that matter have pretty much made the shift.

There is always Shaun White, hopefully they try to copy the old school tony hawk games. Would be an easy way for them to make a buttload of cash. Just make it PSN and Arcade, instant profit.

There was Sean Palmers Pro Snowbaording which was like the old THPS's but there was never even one sequel.

I would still like your idea.It would be a LOAD better than the current Shaun White as that was one boring game.
