EA's upcoming Skate understands that the soundtrack is just as important as the gameplay, confirms over 100 songs
Do you remem-bah?
For me, it's the music - whether it was being introduced to the impeccable drum work of Josh Freese in The Vandals' Euro-Barge on Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1, trying to get my voice as high as 3 Inches of Blood's singer in Deadly Sinners in Tony Hawk's Underground 2, or learning how to play Jack White's part in Girl, You Have No Faith in Medicine after hearing it in Skate, music is an integral part of these games. The recent THPS 1+2 and 3+4 remasters understand this, and bring a nice mix of classic and modern music to the re-releases that (I think) represents what skate culture should always be about: honouring legacy and trying new stuff. EA's upcoming Skate reboot seems to have got this brief, too, as today the publisher has announced that the game will have "over 100 songs" featured on the in-game soundtrack.
