A certain group of people on the internet really, really want Skate 4 to become a reality and boy do they want you to know about it. The unannounced project trended yet again on Twitter earlier today following the announcement of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 + 2 on PlayStation 4 with memes, jokes, and a vocal outcry questioning why EA has abandoned the series. Come on, we have to know why if the publisher never plans on going back to it.
The support for Skate 4 appears to be still alive and kicking, with the likes of the tweet below being shared close to 2,000 times. There were even more popular posts being shared across the social media site but we can't really host them here due to some choice language.

Are you part of that vocal group who continues to wish EA would make a Skate 4? Do you think it'll ever, ever happen? Pray for a PlayStation 5 version in the comments below.

I love both series so if one leads to the other, that’s two dream games for me!
I'd love a new Skate game just so I can make simple trick montages again.
@ApostateMage I own Session and Skater XL on PC and they’re both great for creating wee clips of your tricks. They might not be fully featured releases yet but with mods, they’re great little sims for acting like a true sk8r
Honestly, the Skate trilogy is one of the best video game trilogies I’ve ever played. And Skate 2 being my favorite skateboarding game of all time. I would honestly love a Skate 4. I would buy it in a heartbeat.
@nessisonett I used to love uploading clean and smooth clips to the Skate Reel and checking out others too. Good times.
Unless EA can monetize it with microtransactions and online play, they wont be interested.
Both series definitely have their place. I’d be very happy to see Skate return.
What if EA are releasing it but are trying to find more ways to monitise the dam thing first
There's gonna be a flood of these kind of games again soon with all these mentioned as well as smaller titles like Wave Break and SkateBIRD
I'm liking it
Nah, Skate was OK but it was no THPS.
@tomassi Skate absolutely destroys THPS.
@TrueAssassin86x None of those are as good as Skate.
@MysticFartRipper it doesn't, but I respect your opinion.
@tomassi You're in the minority of people who enjoy THPS more than Skate, not that there's anything wrong with that, but I'm pretty sure most people would agree that Skate was better than "OK".
@MysticFartRipper Am I in the minority? Depends how old you are I guess? THPS is far more iconic than Skate I would suggest. Skate is fun but far less memorable, to me personally at least, than THPS3 for example.
@tomassi Age has nothing to do with it. I've played every Tony Hawk game since release (except Ride), and while back then it was a fun, over the top arcade style game where you pull off 10 billion point never ending combos, to me it just doesn't compare to the fun of using the skill stick, and the more realistic style. Skate was also one of the most hilarious series with the crazy physics and glitches.
The fact that Skate was the one trending on twitter right after the announcement of THPS1+2 remaster speaks volumes. Hell, I would even say back in the day, while I did enjoy THPS, I enjoyed Thrasher Skate & Destroy much more.
The Skate series has basically ruined the Tony Hawk games for me though. I could maybe see myself playing a bit of Underground here and there (you can at least get off your board in it), but in the end I would be wishing I was playing a Skate game.
So while the Skate series may not be as memorable for you, it's pretty damn memorable to a lot of other people that played them. Was THPS more iconic? Maybe, but it's not Skates fault that THPS came out first.
