"The soundtrack for SKATE is a direct reflection of true outlaw skateboard culture," said Steve Schnur, Worldwide Executive of Music and Marketing at EA. "Its a throwback to the days of underground skateboard videos when skaters created their own soundtracks that raided every genre of music. In that spirit, we talked to hardcore skaters around the country to help pick many of the songs for SKATE. Real recognizes real, and this soundtrack is a straight-up tribute to a culture like no other." SKATE is the closest thing to skateboarding without actually putting your feet on a board. With innovative Flickit controls that take advantage of the dual analog sticks and the ability to sculpt tricks that define your own style, SKATE delivers an authentic boarding mecca like no other videogame. Players will explore, find, and own the best spots in the fictitious city of San Vanelona while listening to a soundtrack thatll get them up and moving. As they cruise through this enormous city, players will capture footage to show off their own style with friends across the world.
