One of the best EA games to come out lately has been Skate, and the sequel is almost ready. 1UP got to go hands on with Skate 2, while associate producer Chris Parry looked on. Apparently Chris is a skater himself, so the game really is true to life. According to 1UP, the game's mechanics are even more true to life this time around, believe it or not. Great news.

"It's the first thing on our mind whenever we think of anything new for the game," says producer Jason DeLong. "To be frank, skate culture is one that's used to being appropriated. Our goal, originally, was to not appropriate it but to kind of become part of it, and I think we've succeeded."

The first teaser for Skate 2 has been released. It does not show much, so don't get your hopes up.

This one is pretty much a no-brainer, considering the first game was such a success. Yes, it was developed by EA, but still, give credit where credit is due. The sequel, should not be confused with the Wii version of Skate that is coming out that utilizes the Wiifit balance board. This is a true sequel, more info when we have it!
