The pick-up-and-play style of the Tony Hawk series had run its course and been replaced with EA Black Box’s Skate series, a more grounded approach to landing kickflip and grinding rails. Perhaps the biggest part of Skate 3’s legacy after all these years later isn’t how fantastic this entry is, but the mind-boggling fact that this series highpoint hasn’t had a sequel in over 15 years. Whether you’re on TikTok, Instagram, or YouTube, you’ve seen people who are still obsessed with Skate 3. It took 10 years of fan groundswell before Electronic Arts finally announced a Skate sequel in 2020. And a big part of that is because of just how darn good Skate 3 is a decade and a half later.
