EA releases a gameplay "trailer" of SKATE, where you can observe a talented sk8ter boi rolling in the large streets of what looks like a big american city. For those who were living under a rock, SKATE's control system is integrally based on the two analogical sticks of the pad, tricks included.

goodbye neversoft!!!!
It's just the environment in the city. So what do you expect? Huge, bright billboards? It's not the times square.
This game is just about skateboarding and this video delivers a much bigger impression of skateboarding than TH-P8. And it's definitely gonna beat the lame TH series (although you can't really compare these two games. Or do you compare Dead or Alive with Fight Night?)
Never heard of "fisheye"? I bet you've never seen a real skatevideo, 'cause they always use a fisheye lens there to get this effect.....
Thats so cool that you can piss people off enough to have them chase you, multiplayer would be so much fun, with a load of peds chasing you. Even cops lol!
As for the fisheye, sure, I've heard of it, and seen it, and this doesnt look fisheye, it looks like the blacked out the corners of the screen to save on resources or something. I personally hate it. Others may love it.
It just looks boring tho.

the graphics will get better in time...
this is far more realistic than tony hawk.
Wow. And it's not about the color- it's about the sharpness to the textures and the lighting on the models- it's just... GONE...
Graphically this has taken a major nosedive since those first screenshots were released a while back.
And yeah, it does look like its xbox 1.

That looks HORRIBLE. The low rez textures take completely away from what is supposed to be a "realistic skating experience"
There is no real lighting effects either... I mean, xbox 1 definitely...hell, almost ps2...
this game isn't even close to completion...
give it some time!
I can understand why some people think that looks boring, but I on the other hand think it looks great. Probably because I skate and find this sort of gameplay alot more satisfying than that of TH.
I'm still a bit on the "hmm I dunno" side, with the thumbstick control with this game, so I hope EA release a demo of this so I can try before I buy.
the effect is actually called vignetting, from wiki:
------------------
In photography and optics, vignetting is a reduction in image brightness in the image periphery compared to the image center.
Vignetting is sometimes used for creative effect (such as to draw attention to the center of the frame). A photographer may deliberately choose a lens which is known to produce vignetting. It can also be produced with the use of special filters or post-processing procedures.
Vignetting is also used to describe unwanted darkening of the corner of a photograph.

So its a bit a matter of taste, i like it a lot, gives it a more artisty look, but i just feel that it will be overused, so be prepared you are going to be seeing it a lot...
But tbh, this is not nescessary and annoying. EA should just cut their pseudo artistic crap and let us see the picture in full beauty. It's a damn videogame, why should there be physical limits? Imo it adds nothing to the realism of the game, realism would be a skategame in ego perspective and that would suck.
and i also agree with the other poster that its gonna get overused very soon here, just like bloom, and just like all the overly shiny shit.

This will be a niche game, just like thrasher was, and that's the way it should be.

Please stop comparing games to those on older consoles like you are speaking the truth... go pick up your ps2 then come back and say something...
This is underground for ps2:
