Here's what the heads can do with Skate 2

Heyyy, that's my boy Jack Barclay from Doppelgänger Produktion. Sweet.

To me all this really means is that within the first day of release there are going to be hundreds of videos of kickflip underslip darkslides posted online with the hopes of one user getting that ever so coveted spot of number one due to the fact that it will be one of the first video's posted and most likely most voted upon.

Unfortunately, we're already looking at sequel saturation.
Like KillerBee said below me, it's too soon. Skating games have long lives. We're not exactly starved for replay value here.

This is the part you don't want to hear, but you need to. STOP making Skate games every year. The differences between Skate 1 and 2 were minimal and adding skater crew warfare is fucking stupid. This isn't madden. We don't need "roster" updates. We don't need the only real skateboarding franchise watered down and unfun because you think you need to pump new Skate games out every year. Please, stop.
Skate 2 was already pushing it with the "too soon" feeling, but damn, EA, slow your roll here.

My problem is more about the fact that Skate 2 didn't fix the most important things to me though. So how can Skate 3 do it after such a short time? AND bring something new? At least, there seem to be a brand new city to skate, but please no more skatepark elements on the sidewalks...

At first I thought this might have just been an issue with my in game car needing better parts, but then I realized that by simply sitting in second place for the majority of the race, and then overtaking just before the finish, all the bullshit AI catchup is avoided. Unfortunately so is all the fun, since you realize that the driver in first place purposely slows down to let you go in front, only to then go speeds faster than possible in your own car to take the lead again.
Given that this game is an MMO, I'm working on the assumption (perhaps wrongly) that the races will all take place against real people. As such, there shouldn't be any need for "catchup" style effects ... right ?

This is just speculation from the positioning of the windows in the screenshot however, I could be wrong and someone f*^$ed up the shop.

Ever since NFS:U2, I've been disappointed by the series, each new outing seems to have less than the one that came before it. Whether it's less cars, less customisation, less game modes, etc, there's always something missing that should have been there.
I've been fooled into believing 3 times now that things would be different, that they actually made a proper sequal but each time I've been disappointed.
I'm avoiding that disappointment this time around by not getting NFS:WO.

I may try this one, though, because it's free.
And free's free.
And I love free.
However, I do feel like it's gonna, for some reason or another, be crap. Free MMOs never strike it large, for some reason...
