Skate 4: a gameplay video has leaked, and it’s sad to see it in this state…

It’s been two years now that we know that Electronic Arts is working on a new episode of Skate, the fourth, and Full Circle is in charge, a studio founded especially for the title. If the news of the title has been punctuated so far by rumors swung by insiders here and there, this time, we have something concrete with the leak of a gameplay sequence that ended up on the internets . Where it is dramatic for the game is that it is a pre-alpha extract, without textures or visual effects and inevitably, it can only swear. According to Jeff Grub, a journalist from Venture Beat, the game is still trying to find itself and the developers are trying to find the best possible sensations. Obviously impossible to date this sequence of gameplay, if it is recent or not, but we see that it is now possible to do acrobatics without necessarily having the skateboard glued to his shoes.

This is Skate 4 pre-alpha footage. This is in line with what I’ve heard about where the game is at from multiple people. They’re trying to get the feel right, which is probably the most important aspect of a Skate game. https://t.co/AXNV2Agk6z pic.twitter.com/nUINhghxLg

Tom Hendersen, another insider who is often right, did not hesitate to give his opinion on this leak which he considers quite sad, since the rendering is in a pre-alpha version, which risks having a negative impact on some players who don’t necessarily have the perspective necessary to imagine the game differently. We will have to wait a little longer before seeing the final gameplay and we hope that the wait will not be too long before the official reveal. Probably not during the E3 period, the show being canceled, just like EA Play Live this year.

It’s sad to see Skate 4 leak in this kind of way (because it’s really early development footage). But if you’re interested, here it is.

The map is currently called “Fun Town”https://t.co/dyqozQg1bv
