According to EA Black Box producer Jason DeLong, upcoming sequel Skate 2 is being developed utilizing the PlayStation 3 as the lead platform.

“The PS3 has been our lead platform,” DeLong confirmed.

The reasoning behind this decision stems from various criticisms the first Skate title received in regards to the PS3 version not being up to par with its Xbox 360 counterpart.

"Something we learned very quickly that we had to remedy on the second one," DeLong explained.

"We’ve definitely been developing [both versions] in parity," said DeLong. “The goal is that if you put both versions side-by-side, you will not be able to tell the difference.”

Skate 2 is set to release sometime next year. Stay tuned for more information.
