Skate 4 (commonly known simply as Skate) is making significant improvements to its off-board gameplay. Skate 4 is one of the most anticipated games in quite some time, with fans requesting it from EA for years. The Skate series gained momentum in the late 2000s and early 2010s as a welcome diversion from the Tony Hawk series. The Tony Hawk games were considerably more arcade-y, but the Skate series seemed more genuine in terms of skating physics. Of course, there were also extreme modes, such as Hall of Meat, in which players jumped from towering platforms and performed feats in order to harm their character as much as possible in order to get a high score.
