The sanitisation of Skate reminds me how far counterculture has fallen and how hard it can be to stay inspired

The world of Skate was already heading in a sterile, sanitized, corporate direction - guided by the trends in real-life skateboarding.

After seeing Skate 4 and it looking like a Skate game taking place in Fortnite, it gave me the desire to revisit #Skate2 again. Sadly my #PS3 died the yellow light of death like so many, but it seems #PS3emulation has gotten pretty good. The #RPCS3 emulator is way better than I thought with Skate 2 running at full speed. I think the bloom might get out of control, but maybe the game was like that trying to emulate what 8mm video tape looked like? I can't remember. #retrogaming
