Skate 2 developer talks about the sequel’s story, dons a bear skin rug

Take note, everyone: this is how you create a proper developer’s diary.

In the embedded video above, we are greeted by EA Black Box’s Chris Parry, who proceeds to interview himself about Skate 2′s sparkling new storyline.

Essentially, the city of San Vanelona was rebuilt as New San Van after disaster struck during the time between the original Skate and Skate 2. Security has been stepped up by Mongo Co., and now all of the best skating areas are under heavy watch. How convenient.

The general theme of Skate 2 is that of your character’s comeback to skating, which is kind of cool, but really, now — who here plays skateboarding games for their deep, intricate stories?
