EA's forthcoming skating title, Skate (aptly named), has finally had an Aussie release date announced.
Electronic Arts announced that its award-winning SKATE video game will ship to retail stores on September 12 in the U.S., September 14 in Europe, and October 11 in Australia for the Xbox 360 video game and entertainment system. The PLAYSTATION 3 computer entertainment system version will ship to stores on September 24 in the U.S., October 5 in Europe and October 11 in Australia.
EA also announced that a demo of the game will be available to download from the Xbox Live Marketplace on August 15 which will give players a solid idea of how the game's innovative 'Flickit' control system works.
The downloadable demo features tutorials and gameplay challenges in San Vanelona’s community center skatepark to introduce gamers to SKATE’s revolutionary Flickit controls. The demo also includes the innovative skate.reel feature where gamers can capture video footage of their skate session at any time during the demo and share the footage online at www.skate.ea.com for other players to view, rate and comment on.
Skate was playable at E3, and as an absolute skateboarding nut, I can tell you I walked away very impressed, so be sure to check out the demo when it's released next week.
