A new trailer is circulating the net for EA’s upcoming Skate, for the PS3 and X-Box 360, which shows how the innovative new control system will work. The game will feature a much different control scheme from previous entries in the skateboarding genre, utilizing mostly two analog sticks for movement and tricks, which has been dubbed the “flickit controls.”
The video doesn’t really show any new gameplay footage (it has a real-life skater with graphics projected in front of him), but it’s still interesting to see just how the new controls will function. And while the developers may not win a Creative Game Name competition, but the controls do look like they could add some evolution to a genre that’s starting to show its age.
