"Bro, what am I even playing?": More than 15 years later, Skate is finally here – but fans are quickly discovering parkour is "faster than skating" in the new EA game

Skate 4.

After more than 15 years, the long-awaited Skate 4 (dubbed just "Skate" by Full Circle and EA) has finally arrived in Early Access – but even though skateboarding is what it's all about, it apparently isn't the quickest way to get around in-game.

The new Skate is here after over a decade of waiting, and although it's launched to "Mixed" reviews on Steam, it's safe to say that plenty of creative fans have been exploring the online multiplayer world of San Vansterdam – but not all of them are doing so atop their boards. In fact, the game teaches you how to engage in some good old parkour when on foot, but it's not meant to be your primary way of getting around. This is "Skate," after all.
