EA wishes us happy holidays with ten new Skate 2 screens photo

With Skate 2's release right around the corner, Electronic Arts is making sure we don't forget by wishing us a happy holiday with some new Skate 2 screenshots.

Actually, what EA PR are calling it is a "screens blowout." Now, when I read the word "blowout," I have certain expectations. So when I opened the digital package to only find ten screens, I was a bit disappointed.

EA, when it comes to "blowouts," you might want to have a chat with Majesco, who sent us -- I kid you not -- 114 screenshots of Zoo Hospital when the game was announced. It was absolutely frightening; that's how you do a screenshot blowout. 

Since Skate 2 looks good, we'll let you off the hook. Just don't tease us like this again.

Is it me, or does the tree in the first screenshot look really blocky, flat and terrible?

Look at the tree's in #4... all the trees look bad. I dunno, it's a small issue, but damn. I don't think the trees looked that bad in the 1st Skate.

BTW, #6 = Owned

yeah a little bit. Their textures don't look all that great close up either.

Having played the first one though, I doubt it will matter much when you are playing.

They probably had to cut back a little, now the game runs at a whopping 60fps (about the blocky graphics)

mmmm

I can't wait for this game. I played the first one so god damn much until my 360 decided to crack the disc. I'll lose some work time over this for sure

I hope the video bit has a free cam instead of it being fixed like last time, I enjoyed skate 1, but I'm not sold on this yet.

Whoa, blowout!

I'll be playing the first to completion to decide whether or not I need this right now.
