>>2134880AYO THIS NIGGA BOUGHT THE BATTLE PASS
>>2135051should honour his sacrifice because without whales like him, the game would be dead.
>>2135051i fuck with the skate rat costume
Why does the bitrate suck so much for these video exports
>>2135051Be my financial advisor anon, that $10 devastated me. Actually it was $25 for the founder pack.
>>2135527AYO THIS NIGGA GAVE 25 DOLLARS TO FULL CIRCLE
>>2135501are you exporting webm? don't
>>2135535>spend $25 whole dollarydoos>people freak out and call you a whaleI'm a rat though.....
I'd spend money too if it wasn't a complete scam.20 bucks would get me 2 pairs of shoes you can't even recolor. Knowing me I'd just buy a pair and completely regret it the next week while they stay unused the rest of the game.and if I didn't spend any free svbucks on some shit I would've been able to afford the season pass
>>2135527neatpersonally, i don't care if people spend money, but i will never spend a single cent on this service
>>2135602Yeah I like the red and black vans in the shop but $9 for a pair of e-shoes is too much for even me. I'm down to put like $20 in the game a season if there's cool stuff to buy but they really try hard to not get people's money with the wack shit they cook up and the retarded prices on a lot of it. Despite a lot of frankly ridiculous problems with the game I enjoy it a lot, even the city isn't QUITE as bad as people make it out to be in my opinion. I just want the game to last until they implement create-a-park and some other stuff so cracked clients and private servers have a good base to work with. I don't have hobbies that cost much or really any money, even the games I play are mostly old shit or cheap indies and I even stopped eating fast food recently. $25 for a game I've spent 250 hours in already is really not anything I'd spend a second thinking about without a bitch in my ear telling me it's nasty. >>2135613Totally fair and there really aren't a lot of compelling reasons to, with the free SVB they've given out and very slim selection of decent stuff to spend it on. No tricks or skateable areas behind paywalls means it's a pretty nice free to play game. In my opinion.
>>2135620>No tricks or skateable areas behind paywalls means it's a pretty nice free to play gamethat's fair and shouldn't be taken for granted with the way game development is going. but, i'd much rather spend $10 on a new area than on an outfit i can't change the colors on.
>>2135629Unfortunately that's just not an option we're offered or would ever be offered in the current state of the game industry. Just look at Battlefield 6 for what a "normally released" game looks like from EA anymore. $70 base cost, paid DLC, paid battlepass seasons, separate Battlefield Pro subscription, then on to Battlefield 7 in a couple years. All while not having the content a standard Battlefield game should have at launch among all the other modern game problems. I'll honestly take what we have for skate.
>>2135632true, but i'd be less salty about it if they put a little more effort into the base game apparel
>>2135637true. they didn't even bother to model a fucking santa hat and they still charge for it. the adidas fit seemed different at the start, but nope. They release a brandless green tracksuit using the same model but in a different color, and now the same tracksuit but christmas themed. it's fucking embarrassing
three more months for custom parks...
>>2135758lol
>>2135758>player parksnice>leaderboardswho cares>open world collectionnot sure what it is but it sounds gay>more character slotsok>new game modeswill have to wait and see>new tricks, darkslide & better footplantsnoice
>>2135538Im exporting mp4 in 2k, and it sucks if the camera isnt stationary
>>2135996Yeah it fucking sucks. I'd say just record the preview externally but it's prone to stutters fucking STILL.
i can't do late pop shuv its at all because of impossible motion holy fuck
since i have nothing else to post, have this crusty ass session clip i found. probably one of the first builds too
>>2135996export at 0.25x speed and then speed up post production
>>2137170I skated that route so often on my way to Daweons Rock Ride mission. It was my daily routine>spawn nearby>skate throught there >attempt mission>give up after trying to get it to register for 20 minutes>skate around for a bit>logout
>>2136913no really can anyone do this? ollie late pop shuva half circle registers as a full circle
>>2137383its a quarter circle for pop shuv
>>2137262fucks up the sounds though
>>2137763then record the 2 speeds and replace the tracksor just use an external recording program like a normal person
>>2137784>or just use an external recording program like a normal personNTA but I get ridiculous stutters in the preview very often. They finally got rid of stutters in the export, for me at least, but the quality with exporting is poor in other ways.
>>2135799Open world collection is likely the same shit as collecting these inflatables is
45 minutes of travelling from one manhole to the next in the hopes it'll eventually put me on the roof with the inflatable drop item, still haven't rolled that spawn (but have gotten several other spawns 5+ times)any time now...
>>2138609A good gambler never quits
>>2138646finally got the payout 20 minutes later.
>>2138609Just use the new mega ramp spread eagle from one of the platforms
>>2138713it's on the far side of the map to prevent it
>>2138781impervatower Abuild to next buildingjump to the NEXT buildingone final jump to the building with the present

>>2138929Could probably get a throwdown marker on it to teleport to maybe idk
>>2138929the "all that" in question
>>2139301or I could sit reading 4chan and occasionally hit the Y button.
Love this feature on this bowl. Kinda bummed on how the the back tail looks going in but the kickflip out felt really good. Also learned you can land on your feet out of a Christ Air.

I climbed to the top of the snow tower and got nothing!

Isn't it against the rules on steam to not have a disclaimer on AI use? Why does skate get away with it?
https://www.twitch.tv/stillmilky
>>2142661>twitch stream instead of youtube streamyikes
just invented a new kind of grind lads
>>2142823I remember seeing someone nail a grind like that in a video part a while back, probably some goofball like Matt Tomasello.
>>2142823I genuinely consider a tweakes board/lip slide to be a separate grind, like a crooks vs nosegrind. Nobody ever talks about it so I came up with my own name for it: twist slides and over twists.
>>2142411maybe they don't?
>>2142863NTA, I honestly did think most of the slop in the game was just from corporate retards that can't into art and skating but the "hear speak see" deck is kinda damning. EA allegedly also has some sort of directive or mandate basically forcing developers to use AI.
>>2142867They probably do use AI to get inspired. It's the future it's only natural, we can't stop it. But the artwork does not seem like just a mindless copy paste despite people acting like it is.>picthere are legit many art styles like that one. Many people now just point at any pixel that looks out of place and scream AI. Not everything needs to be perfect, there are mistakes and there are choices. Sometimes artists choose to keep the mistakes.While I won't defend every board and even deny the use of AI, I don't think it is having as much impact as people think
>>2142863In the closed beta they said the angel romance art is AI generated.
try this
>>2142988nice
>>2142982this one? desu it doesnt seem AI at all. If it is, well good job
Any of you guys made your skate montage yet?
>>2143464i'm thinking of doing a season 1 montage but i'm lazy and i haven't found a song i want to do it to yet
>>2143560I made mine before season 1 ended. It didn't do numbers but im happy with it. I think everyone watches skate content in youtube shorts so I didnt get any views
>>2143464I go back and forth on whether or not I want to. I think main obstacle for me would be picking a song because I'm half-assing the editing no matter what if I do it.
>>2143464multiple so farhere's one i did last nighthttps://files.catbox.moe/xqei4o.webm
>>2143766my other onesin sequence of oldest to newesthttps://files.catbox.moe/db5by6.mp4https://files.catbox.moe/nh8452.webmhttps://files.catbox.moe/5iasda.mp4i wish i could get the same dithering effect in davinci resolve as the old videos, but since switching from openshot i haven't been able to get a good replacement effect which sucks. i really liked the dot dithering and i'm not smart enough to use the actual filter crafter thing in davinci to do what i wantalso i should really re-pass those old ones to 24fps instead of 60fps lol, looks better
>>2143464https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BTGcjILd5W0I am the cringe
Really bummed I couldn't get this wallie, or huck a footplant on the statue thing. Some rando even came and tried both with me for like 10 minutes, don't think he got anything either. >>2142988I could get into a couple straddleslides but couldn't get out of any. Unsuccessful session.
>>2144156bs pop shuvs, right?
>>2144162I was doing bs tails so maybe I should have been doing fs shuvs now that you say that, was doing bs tail bs shuv out mostly. Also had to do an "ollie south" to get in most of them couldn't finesse it like yours/his. I'll try more later, I like that they sometimes do weird obstacles like this.
>>2143464https://files.catbox.moe/hw5b2n.mp4 watching the other parts posted gave me the last push, here's my season 1 parthaven't edited a video in years and i had barely any b-roll but it was fun
>>2144166Very nice, lot of really sick clips.
>>2144175thx. some clips i really enjoy couldn't make it but i like how it turned out
>>2142946the top one is supposed to be covering his ears
>>2142988>>2144165>>2144156managed to exit with a regular ass flip lol, took me prob 5 minutes though
would it have killed them to add duplexes or actual housing in the place called gullcrest VILLAGE
You have learned [Blink Strike]
>>2145511is that emote part of the skate pass?

>>2146080MIYAZAKI'S GONNA FREAK
oh boy another challenge that wasn't playtested
>>2148157?
>>2148174tailslide to tailslide in the community park. the ledge isn't long enough to count a grind, not to mention the fact you're not given enough time to actually input the shifty move to put your guy into a tailside. he automatically pulls into a boardslide.
>>2148241I did it. Took a few tries. If the ledge isnt long enough you were going too fast
>>2148379post a video of you doing it, and show your assists. you've got 10 minutes.
damn copenhagen is dopehttps://www.youtube.com/shorts/NpWvAze7e_s
>>2148386I would have recorded it the first time, but the recording does the thing from the challenge when it highlights the ledge and makes it ugly.Exactly what I did is before I did the fliptrick, I did a revert, its still a hardflip, and then allows your thumbstick to be already near where it has to be, and remember, when you land the first grind properly, just input a normal ollie, because youre already in position, any adjustment will move you and land in a different grind
>>2148241>>2148379I also did it with 0 assists. Not that it is easy, but it's perfectly doable. Wish more challenges were like this instead of "haha do a kickflip over that bush"
just place the smallest ramp connecting both ledges so you can just grind through both.ez pz
>>2148445>>2148449>no video>*just trust me bro*same as last time. big mouth, no money to back it up. I even went to sleep and gave you (plural) the courtesy to find the time to record it.
>>2148571some people are dumb
The wallrides can be done on the Mcorp tower mega ramp but for some reason you have to slalom all the way down and when you go off the ramp land on a nearby rooftop in spread eagle and a lot of slam landings counted but some didn't so try to do the rolling landing where you end up on your feet
>>2149131I ain't doing all that. I'm gonna try and ride the long ass wall next to that one steep hill by the Casper Hotel. if it don't work I'm writing off the challenge.
>>2149136might as well write it off now then
>>2149174not only is the board art AI generated, so are the challengesno sane person would ask players to do a 30 foot wallride
Recently got suggested some doomer videos from some faggots on youtube and clicked on em just because I'm stupidly curious what normalfaggots are saying, and apparently there are at least 2 channels on youtube dedicated to generating and reading 10-20 minute long LLM doomerism scripts about the game like 3 days a week. Like the game has hella problems for sure but jesus christ lmao. You just tell that retard nigger Sneakerdogg has never even heard 30% of the words and terms generated in these scripts.
>>2149180it's 90+ feet from the Mcorp tower, just sayin
>>2149487I know. I tried that big megaramp down the side of the building that has you wallride down the windows, I tried the challenge that has you ride down the side of a brick building, and I tried the drop-in down the side of that building with the mega ramp pool on it in the NE of the map. none of them worked.I managed to get it by doing what I suggested earlier; bombing down a hill and launching off a kicker onto a long stretch of flat wall just west of the Vault plaza.
>>2149504oh and I also had my daily challenge glitch, the 'two 180 flips in a sequence'. I did the challenge, got the alert for completion, and then went into the menu to find it was still at 0/5 and now none of the ones I do count. tried resetting the game, still glitched. so I can't claim my daily objective.
>>2149508They xeeted about that, it's just not working and they'll compensate people for the tix+ripchips for that task and the daily completion when they're back from Hanukkah.
just noticed the firecracker outfit has kneepads over long trousers. gives me hope they'll add regular versions of them, or even better make pads an accessory separate from your pants. I want elbow pads too. and the option to put stickers on helmets whilst we're at it
>>2149534I'm sure they'll add pants+pads items eventually but I'm pessimistic they'll add pads as a separate slot/layer you can add to any pants. Not even just from the greedy perspective but also from a "these retards at Full Circle can barely wipe their own asses" point of view.
>>2149504i feel like this was easier but to each their own
>>2149007haha xd
>>2149539once you factor in the 20+ second respawn (along with having to rely on the game to decide whether to let you roll out or slam on the roof top) means my way was significantly easier. it legit took about 10s for each wallride, from respawn to respawn.
>>2149543>once you factor in the 20+ second respawnwealth issue>along with having to rely on the game to decide whether to let you roll out or slam on the roof topskill issue
>>2149544even ignoring the landing and respawn, my way was still faster. cope.
>>2149007not any of those anons - but its relatively simple honestly. you just have to lift the board up at the end a little bit. the tricky part for me is executing hardflips honestly, since the input feels so tight and i always end up doing 360 hardflips instead (also just regular ollie off the ledge is hard because the right/left sensitivity of kick/heelflip is so tight too)i was re-encoding the video and went to take a nap but im awake now and the video finished so herei know my name is shown in the vid but im already in the steam grouphttps://files.catbox.moe/nmjyny.webm>>2149534i would love stickers on helmets and also actual kneepad / armpad cosmetics
>>2149575>counts your slideI've slid for longer than that several times and had it not count the grind.
>>2149583i did it multiple times, i dunno, i can do it as much as you want me to... it might be something with the way the body spins? not sure
>>2149647
are you kidding me
>>2151519The fake out $16 price is hilarious
fix your fucking game
Very cool that the game decided to stop registering all my wallrides so I am now stuck at 4/5 and 4/30 of the required wallrides.I genuinely don't understand how their game is this buggy.
>>2153834no one can understand it, looks like most people from here dropped it too we only have 2 posts per day
>>2153869i haven't been playing and there's nothing to talk aboout
I'm honestly kinda surprised this thread stayed as active as it did as long as it did. That's the reason for choosing /vm/ though, the thread can survive on like 1 post every 2 weeks, when anyone returns or some news drops it's still here. Comfy tbdesu.
peak gameplay
>>2154283>hello my baby, hello my honey
>>2154211Yeah honeymoon is definitely over
Of course it is, the game is consistent on the "skating is okay but everything else is absolute shit" aspect since the closed beta
>>2153869damn...i held on through private testing all the way until finally getting keyframes. which turned out to be pretty awful and coincided with even more replay bugs - on top of the fact the game is now only getting utterly trash seasonal events and MTX cancer. i was expecting the city to constantly be improving and expanding like it was in early testing. but seems like they are just settling on this temporary gimmick update style now, so I won't be back.
>>2155239show those hours
>>2155242i only just switched to steam at that time so it's not much. on EA app i'm not sure but the closed test was a different title so that might be more hours i cant see now.
>>2155239Its just going to be this every 3 months:>skate pass>1 or 2 seasonal events>new trick>new game mode>new skateable areas>QoL changes>bugfixes>new bugsGame desperately needs content, they may have to redo all the missions, I know some of the new handplant missions showed what appeared to be a ghost mimicking the tricks so possibly they're going to make the NPCs actually appear in game.Its wild that even something like steep and riders republic does better for content despite being soulless in other ways.
>>2155239Highly doubt the game will have the changes it needs, it's the same since the closed beta. Even the "new" tricks are the same they tested.Their community management, especially on steam, gives away not only that but also that they don't really give a fuck.Even when the devs were more approachable in the closed beta days you could see this, which is really unfortunate. The whole loop you mentioned will be there until the game dies, and internals says it will be soon, probably before the new road map hits.
>>2155292I don't remember impossibles being in the playtests and I doubt you have any insight on "internals".
idk I still enjoy it
I have ~120h on the EA launcher and ~40h on SteamI would play a lot more if i didn't have to reboot into windows
>>2155402I really want to switch to linux soon but this is one of the only games I play outside of small indie stuff.
I'm just curious how effective Javelin is at blocking attempts at cracking the client like during the insider playtests. I hope some autistic wizards are quietly and diligently working on that because that is the true endgame.
>>2155430I'm not the most knowledgable but games running through proton are not sandboxed. You could find out if the game is running on windows or over proton on linux withoutntoo much effort.
>>2155462I'm too retarded to know what any of that means so I'll just wait patiently for EoS and news of cracked clients.
>>2155465You don't have to know what it means, as in the end we're both hoping for autistic wizards
>>2155420linux is pretty sweet if you don't do music production, CAD, or AAA multiplayer games.feel free to ask if you have any linux questions

>>2183703honestly there's been a small handful of things ive seen and went "wow i kinda want that," but nothing really that i'd actually dedicate time to grind for (or really, i mean, in the future if things come back around. it's just all so uninteresting)i also feel like ive lost motivation for just doing small clips and want to only focus on big compilations so i don't play as much nowgame sux
>>2183711all the stuff I've seen that caught my eye was Vbucks premium stuff. and I wasn't interested enough to actually spend money. Mostly shoes

>>2183121It's kinda sad seeing people defend it as "bro it's only beta it's still only v0.5 they're still working on it" as if it hasn't been in development for nearly 5 years already, half of which was closed alpha stuff and seeing how much stuff is still missing.How does your online-focused game still not even have any kind of matching system for group challenges or guild/team system? It's genuinely insane.I wish it was good but it just feels like it's never going to get there.
I stopped playing as of a week ago, I've done just about everything I wanted on the map, theres just a complete lack of content, i'm tired of people complaining about cosmetics when theres nothing to fucking to fucking do in the game.
I wish Session's animations weren't garbage.
>>2190360im still having fun putting dogshit videos togetheri was gonna make an alt yt account to throw this shit on but i'll just throw it on my main since catbox isnt big enough to hold the longer ones im doinghttps://youtu.be/0Ixenb72oCM>>2190400i'd play session more if i had a way to 'live-cam' easier like how this game does. one of the main things that pissed me off recently about this game is the removal of the ability to change fov while footage is playing. you used to be able to do that, now you have to pause to change zoom. like what the fuck? why? bullshit and theyre probably trying to force people to interact with the keyframe system (which is... good i guess, but i prefer live editing)
New year, new patch, bros!https://www.ea.com/games/skate/skate/news/update-029-6(It's fucking nothing)
some of these fucking glitches lmao dude
>>2192974I don't think they thought about that change at all honestly it was probably just collateral damage in the replay editor update. I agree it was nice to be able to change cameras while playing back with that, it actually made for some pretty nice, simple, fast clips if you used it well. Follow cam then switch to tripod at the end of a line going down a gap or something, etc. I've been playing here and there still but most of the time when I do a cool trick I'll just watch it back once then close the replay editor instead of going through the whole song and dance. Also had some cool ideas for tricks that I can't quite execute.. mostly skill issue though if I'm being honest I think.
>>2194468Impervatek is imperfect.
>>2194630impervatek kind of reminds me of this one part of the story in this thing:https://www.sbnation.com/a/17776-footballwhere humanity has developed basically little machines that constantly make sure nobody dies and they also don't explain it in this story because how can you explain machines that make you not die? but either way it's done in a cool way in this story so i don't really care. i think the slight simiarity with how skate 4 does it is kinda funny, with how dogshit this particular game release's universe is. (which is to say nigh nonexistant)>>2194627i'm playing less and less, but i still get the itch to hop on and do some cool trix because it just feels good still. i'm trying to explore different mechanical interactions to sort of hone in a 'look' for some things, like slightly holding the triggers to make it look like crouching down a little then back up again without doing a manual, then actually doing the trick. just small little things here and there that make it visually more interesting/fluid/naturalalso loading up davinci resolve every time i want to play skate is a whole fucking process so i usually dont even bother with getting around to that. same with obs (have to launch OBS and switch the scene before i start the game at all for audio to record)
>join party>opt out of every co-op challenge requestwhat causes this behaviour?
I need to stop tricking myself into thinking deleting a keyframe is ever a good idea. I can't even understand what it tries to do when I do that, it like corrupts the clip and makes it disobey keyframes around that point in really weird ways, kinda acts like the keyfame is still there, kinda doesn't. Fascinating to be honest.
>>2196541fine by me, most of the people that join my parties can't even finish a line challenge and you can start the coop version without them and still get the extra credits.
>>2198180I'm doing it for the Own The Lot challenges that basically require at least one other player to complete.
>>2198342I gave up. Somehow failed to get to 40 in a bunch of full party OTL's, most of the time it feels like I'm literally the only one playing the game, like I end up with retards that aren't even clearing the "do 10 flip tricks" ones by accident even. I think the game is full of genuinely illiterate children.
>>2198682I got lucky and got invited to a party with a group of High Levels, we knocked it out of the park in one try.
Rapture
>>2198180Line challenges absolutely destroyed the average player's mind. I've seen so many complaints about how "hard" they are and that they can't get off their board during (which would defeat the entire point).I'm glad in a way because it has fully exposed a large portion of the playerbase as just straight up not playing the game, but it's also depressing.
Never let them guess your next move Pt. 2
I would pay money for recreations of historic skateparks
>>2202975line challenges are gay when this type of shit happens frequently (+ arbitrary physics changes too)
hope they fix the lip trick preset mechanics. most of the grinds you can preset yourself into don't work, your guy glitches and instantly bails.

This is the 4th time I've received these lol

Was Slap always full of faggots? Do I just have rose-tinted glasses on?

>>2214795never was on Slapbut yeah they always seemed like a bunch a faggots
>Season 2 is being extended by an extra weekBro there is NO content
>>2222638who cares at this point, let them delay it another month so they can add more content to it because this is genuinely their last chance
>>2223616>he thinks the delay will result in more contentunrelated, but the captchas on the Epstein website suck so much ass
Spring event cosmetics look unappealing, likely going to skip and wait for season 3 to inevitably disappoint me with its lack of content and modes.
"Isle of Grom" in the background of the stupid spring event video.
i haven't booted up this game in a month at least, and i used to play it every day
you guys played the Skate Style demo? solo dev but its got potential. already has better trannys and lips than Session. plays like Session controls but with Skate's accessibility and ease of getting into.has a animation editor to create your own steez. you can actually bluntstall kickflip out nicer than all the other skate games, and i love how letting go of grind input exits you out smoothly without popping, probably done even better than skate. keyframes work better too, but the replay editor is scuffed right now i couldn't even get trimming to work.other than that i mean yeah it's just another jank amateur project that will never get finished, but a lot better than i was expecting for something that came outta nowhere.
>>2227848Going to be hilarious when they finally let people go back to it and the main map becomes a fucking wasteland
>>2229050The problem with every Skate-like is that they completely abandon the vert side of things. I have enough choices if I want street skating, but Skate is the only one that lets me do any kind of vert and that fucking sucks. I don't expect much different here.
>>2229050It looks cool, I'll keep an eye on it. I've got really high standards for animations in skate games and many of the ones I've seen in this game look kinda bad. Animation editor is a neat and novel idea but I sure as fuck am not a professional animator, and I think it's something that really pushes it more into the "simulator" territory instead of "game". Don't get me wrong I put a few hundred hours into SXL and Session but I just prefer something that flows like skate period anymore. I could see a bunch of nice animation and map packs eventually winning me over though.
any changes for the spring update
>>2229592>spring updateWhat do you mean? The spring event? Seasonal events are nothingburgers, a handful of lame cosmetics (mostly stickers and profile icons/banners) that you have to grind lame challenges at lame parks for. The next actual game update will be March 10th for season 3 but there's no info on that yet, just the roadmap from early access launch where there's a few things listed under "season 3 and beyond" which most people assume the "and beyond" is doing the heavy lifting for.
Hot take: female skaters look almost as ridiculous and stupid as the rat and bird costumes.
did anybody else watch PSL?this extra gamification layer on top of what is basically a game of Skate down a set of stairs is really appealing to me for a contest format, and i don't watch contests at all usually.
>>2232510Never even heard of it before. It's nice to see more games of SKATE (I miss the old Berrics) and the obstacles are likely needed to keep it fresh.One of the biggest disappointments of this game is that they didn't even put a SKATE mode in and even if they did it won't be for months or years.
>>2232756It's also entirely Mike Mo's idea and execution, I enjoy supporting skater owned endeavors.Anyway yeah not including a SKATE mode in the game is such a retarded choice, you can tell it's all corporate faggots making the decisions.
>do a 5m wallride at the Market Mile community parkthere isn't even a 16ft wall at that park, what are they smoking?
They're changing it so Tix don't rollover from one season to another.. they had to lock the subreddit down lol. It is kinda wack but I don't really think it's THAT big of a deal, it's piss easy to get enough for anything you want (mostly thanks to how shit the passes are). Everyone's like "omg I have 30k Tix this sucks" but it's like yeah you have 30k extra after you got everything you want, you'll have 30k extra after you get everything you want next season too. Still a stupid change to be making when they really need to be scoring some wins in community sentiment. It's not like they let people keep that many from season 1 to 2 anyway, they could have left it as is.
>>2237293they are already failing after using every engagement scam possible so hey why not try some more.
>>2237293>"We've got too many Tix and nothing to spend it on!">Okay, we're taking those Tix away thenPeople really need to learn to shut the fuck up.
I feel like any other company would see this backlash at this low a playerbase and realize "ok this is bad let's revert this change" but you know full well they won't and they just continue to oddly listen only to the worst ideas.>we have too much currency for the events!>ok now you have less and its harder to get all the event items>why does this item in the shop look the same as the one I can get for free>ok we will remove the free itemCan they just focus on adding content, I get that they need to make money from cosmetics but I dunno man just make your fucking store not rotate, just display everything available and maybe have SOME items rotate if you really have to.New players open this game and look at the store and see some of the worst most unappealing cosmetics and there's very few to pick from each day is a very bad look.
>>2239889maybe if the player base wasn't so fucking whiny and stupid this wouldn't be an issue. I swear this game has the whiniest fucking community I've ever seen. >>2235190case in point, this challenge is super fucking easy if you have functioning eyes and a brain.The devs literally need to cater to the lowest common denominator because most of the players cant even tie their fucking shoes.
>>2240915the only 'wall' that long is the roll-in QP, but the challenge doesn't register if you drop in on it.
wtf is this new bug
>>2241649small AAA indie studio saar, pls be of the understanding
give me Bertlemans
>>2244768best i can do is two more community parks
did they just reset the event challenges from last week
>>2245460sure did. theyve been doing it for the seasonal challenges for months, so why not the event challenges too?the seasonal ones theyve chosen to repeat are incredibly telling too. slightly difficult or otherwise a pain to reach.
When I checked the Full Circle careers page a few months ago they had like 6 positions listed, and a few of them seemed kinda long-term thinking like internships that wouldn't start until second half of 2026 and stuff. Now there's zero job openings lol. Could be reading into nothing though maybe there were a bunch that filled last week. I know all of us already joke (or are completely serious) about it being maintenance mode but I think they really are starting to make cuts and stuff. Unless they have something beyond the scope of what we've seen for season 1 or 2 to even just show us I really do think this game is getting axed kinda soon. I honestly did think they'd at least see it through a couple years. Again I really hope some autistic wizards are working hard behind the scenes. I don't know dick about cracks and server emulation but I may at least figure out packet logging to have just in case there's nobody doing it now and someone could use it later.

>>2249584There's literally not one single good skateboarding game out right now. Skate Style looks alright so far but I'm not holding my breath.
Here's your new roadmap from Season 3 onwards, bros.https://www.ea.com/games/skate/skate/news/seasonal-roadmap-update(It's even worse than you think)
New "roadmap"
>>2251064>>2251065>On The Radar>Meaning not even far enough along to be considered in development>Player created parkslmao
>>2251065>>2251064>Player parks in "discussion" despite being in playtests already>Matchmaking is only in "development">The new game mode is just the Lines challenges but with a timerI'm out. Good run guys.

Whatever happened to teasing Brickswich in season 2 lmao>Unlockable wear and tearlol>Finger FlipsNice, would be cool if they come with grab grinds but not holding my breath>Private serversStill surprised they came around to even considering the idea, not holding my breath>UnderflipsCool, I'm not really that excited but they're neat>LeaderboardsStick waggling competitions!>Proximity ChatAlso surprised they came around to even considering this, not holding my breath>Legacy spotsThis must be a small bit of desperation after being so adamant about not remaking the old games etc>More game modesMaybe they'll eventually find a game mode that's actually fun>More board shapesDon't really care personally but some people do so that's cool, should be piss easy to implement too so why the wait?Overall BLEAK
>>2251065>Isle of grom still paywalled>""""""""new""""""" game mode isn't new AGAIN its just a minimal amount of effort change to an existing game mode>PLAYER PARKS NOT EVEN IN DEVELOPMENT???>a bunch of crap thrown into "On the Radar" to pretend that they're listeningUninstalled.
Wait a second, what the fuck happened to player created parks? It was in their early roadmap for season 3 and everyone even theorized the community parks would turn into places where they'd showcase some of people's creations, it all sounded pretty cool. Now it's just a footnote with no ETA and you have to pay to access new (but actually old) areas? Are they trying to kill the game before the end of the year?
>>2251200>It was in their early roadmap for season 3It was in their early roadmap for season 3 **"& Beyond"**.Like I said when I pointed out the lack of job postings for Full Circle, I really think the game is getting quietly shut down for real. I think them moving shit from being expected somewhat soon on the roadmap to being only "considered" and outright cutting things like the "open world collection" is pretty damning. The only new areas we have to expect for this entire year are tutorial island with like 1 extra halfpipe and "an indoor area".
>>2251207LinkedIn shows their studio's been shrinking, that's not really what you'd expect from a company with a game in early access supposedly ramping up for a full launch. I'm starting to agree, this shit is getting killed off soon unless something crazy happens and they manage to get their player counts up. I'm sure locking new areas behind paywalls will help with that.
>>2251212>this shit is getting killed off soonI'd welcome it at this point. It was nice to get back to that classic Skate gameplay for a few weeks but after 5ish years of development we're not even anywhere near feature-level with a 20 year old game.Just hit me with the EoS announcement and let me sleep.
>>2251212>half bake a game, release it as 'early access'>99% of people just see it as a full v1.0 release anyway, play it, get bored of the 'early access' levels of content, and move on>"golly gee, why is the playerbase shrinking? must mean the game flopped and we should shitcan it"this is why 'early access' is such a retard move. has it EVER benefitted a game in any way?
>>2251065god damn, what a bunch of fucking retards. i'm kinda sad that we got a new skate game and it turned out this way. deep down i knew it was going to but i took a hope injection anyway.oh and>isle of grom is paywalledcan't make this shit up.>>2251070i was so confused at the beginning when you couldn't build in community parks (actually build, not just put down small props) and it turned out to be to be just AI generated parks.there is not much to say except for, what a bunch of disgusting retards. one of the few games i was looking forward to and it ended up like this.it was fun while it lasted lads.
Finally got around with tinkering with RPCS3 settings to make Skate 2 playable. Still not great but not compounding with natural Skate 2 jank to make me rage anymore. Anyways Skate 2 is like a hole in my memory for some reason, I barely remember any of it except for how clunky the off board movement and a couple other things are, and The Res (is that the name of the beginning district?) which I always disliked. Fucking Old Town in this game is insane. Like so dense with such fun looking little spots and dope plazas and other banger spots. Love the architecture and stuff too, just a great district. Just heading to downtown to (re)scope out, stopped at Lighthouse Skatepark and I gotta say it too is really sick. Skate 2 chads were right all along the city in this game is amazing I need this shit in nuskate badly. Sorry for the gay blog but figured the thread could use a tiny bit of positivity and maybe it pushes someone else to revisit one of the old games. I guess to relate it to the thread more, what spots from the series would you hope they choose to include with "Legacy Skate 1-3 Spots"?
>>2155296:)
>>2252390i'd be just playing skate 2 and 3 on rpsc3 but my PC is a little too weak and i won't buy a new one in this economy
>>2252390I liked the hidden snake runs and pools in Skate 2.
>>2252390Legacy Skate 1-3 Spots was added to their "On the radar" for goodboy points, they made that whole section to pretend they're listening to the community.Shut the game down and there might actually be a chance for ports to come along, while this game lives they have no reason to port superior games.
>>2252390I always preferred the city of Skate 1 compared to 2; 2 does have more variety with the mountain and waterfront areas, though The Res was always too blocky and confusing for me (I just remember big concrete blocks with hundreds of stairs) and some of the replacements (Boneyard over the Gallery/Regs area) never felt as good.Skate 3's maps are fiiiiiiine for the most part but splitting them up always annoyed me. Just causes a worse flow to the game.The only real "Legacy" spot (which will never happen because this game is EoS in 2 months tops) I want is Skate 1's Community Center, the absolute GOAT, which would be easy because it was already in a previous playtest as the tutorial area lmao
>>2252625Yeah I can't really play to enjoy them much because they run pretty poorly on mine still as well, I was only able to get it to a barely tolerable place so I can refresh myself on 2's city. >>2252697They really did good with that sort of thing in the 2nd game. Had a funny moment in Old Town when I rolled up to some fountain area.. thought to myself damn I wonder if you can somehow drain this and it's a skateable pool underneath then mid-thought I remembered that's exactly what you do. The knobs on rails and ledges all over the place are kind of annoying to deal with in my opinion but it feels kinda cool to come back to a few pools to drain. >>2252819Agree, anything in that column is best to consider "never ever", still curious to hear people's favorite locations from the series though.>>2253035Pretty much agree with this whole post. Like I said though I didn't have a good recollection of the Old Town district and think that one is actually really great, would be so sick in nuskate with wallies and (mostly) better physics in general. Community Center is classic as fuck for sure.
>>2253188Skate 2 really nailed the anarchist/punk vibe of street skating, none of the other games got it right. way to clean-cut and corporate.
>>2253190Well by the "modern" definition of punk nuskate is the most punk. It's all about inclusion and equality and gay, which are the staples of punk now apparently.
>>2253269I don't give a fuck what the modern definition is, the only thing that matters is the real definition.
anybody up for sharing music playlists
>>2253190Skate 2 is a funny one with this.Sure, you spend most of the time dealing with security, breaking off skate stoppers, just a more general 90s underground vibe.Then you get to the end and have to deal with Rob Dyrdek's "flarey" bullshit so you can make enough money to open a Monster Energy Drink™ skate park.In the end, punk gives way to commercialism. True to life.
>>2253665at the end of the day skateboarding is always gonna be commercial. somebody's gotta cast trucks and forge bearings, after all.
>>2253471I don't have a curated playlist these days. If I find a song or new artist i like, i add them all to the same playlist. Then, if i don't know what to listen to, i scroll through that list and find an album of that artist to listen to.
>>2254608I'd compiled a big 'skate centric' one for this game in particular.
for me skate died when they made the ugly chars even ugliernot even a coomer but that just says what their vision of the game is
>"open world collection" cut from upcoming season>park creator pushed back to "in discussion">no job postings for a month+>monetizing tutorial zone>couldn't be bothered to copy and paste the weekly grind this weeknoticing
There it is
>>2260215Damn, it's actually OVER over. The team was already a skeleton crew.Sad to see the confirmation, but not surprised. The inevitable End of Service announcement is around the corner now.
>>2260215>>2155296:)
>No Weekly Grind>Constant bad decisions>Paywalling the tutorial area>Youtuber backlash>No content>Dev team downsizedHonestly, it happened quicker than I thought it would. Those passes and fortnite ass costumes must not be selling at all.
>>2260370they should just release skate 1-3 on steamclearly there's a demand for skate games even the old ones
>>2260373>they should just release skate 1-3 on steamGod I fucking wish. No way the clean up and music licensing would cost more than whatever this flop has.
>>2260370When they passed a query at DICE asking what random devs there thought about cosmetics and even the beaner janitor said the crop-tops were cute and they went with it instead of listening to normal people, I knew it would die quickly. When BF6 needed a speedup, the whole rented talent went there and FC only had one (1) good guy and a bunch of vibe-coding linkedin shitters progressing the game.They had a big boom when they released (and tracked-back from 'full release' to 'early access') but the finances were really bad and they never got back from that. The pass did so bad that they still have (generated) free codes unused that they gave away to people that work with or for EA and subsidiaries lolPretty sure nothing Skate-related will ever see the light of the day again, and this is on Cuz and FC, not EA itself.
>>2139560Oh
>>2260384>the whole rented talent went there and FC only had one (1) good guy and a bunch of vibe-coding linkedin shitters progressing the game.That would certainly explain why we're 6 years in and the game still hasn't had a full release. For comparison, the prototypes for the original Skate started in 2005, and by 2010 Skate 3 was releasing, so it was 5 years for complete innovation and a full trilogy of games. This new team got 6 years to base a new game off of that blueprint and got nowhere. What the fuck? Are they exclusively hiring jeets or what?
>>2260576FC is a fraction of the size of Black Box.
>>2260576This post >>2260642 is correct, Black Box was quite bigger than FC. Thing is, FC never invested in quality, and no, they did not hired pajeets. Their TL are retarded white women and a tranny as the gameplay TL, at least the pun stands and tranny skating is the best of the current skate games and their juniors are just people vibe coding with AI assistance. Thing is, FC is really retarded as a whole. They ignored every single feedback, including from QAs from other subsidiaries and - including from EA itself - about their decisions. That's why there's no grit, no aesthetics, nothing that resembles the previous entries. EA is essentially a loan shark, they will give you the money and a few rules for you to follow, and will ask you to pay it back. They don't care how. All the DEI and lootboxes is on Cuz and his retarded friends. But, like a loan shark, EA came by and will now break their legs and take over.
>>2260667I could easily see Cuz succumbing to the woke mind virus and all that but I honestly don't see him pushing newfangled gacha loot box mechanics, dude's too ancient for that.
>>2260642But Black Box was working on Skate and Need for Speed, no? While FC is exclusive to Skate, so unless we know the size of each Skate team it's not really a fair comparison.>>2260667How they didn't get veterans from the old games to be TLs is beyond me. And in my experience juniors vibe coding with AI are even worse than jeets, so I guess that explains a lot too.
>>2260706Black Box had hundreds of employees. Full Circle is less than 30.
>>2260709According to LinkedIn Full Circle is like 189 currently. Checked earlier today but making me log in now.
>>2260721how many of those are subcontracted jeets who just did some texture models.
>>2260680Pretty sure that's on the woman that looks like a pushed up dwarf, something Diea. She's the product manager and she's the one who pushed for the query I mentioned. But, Cuz is the face and said okay to that.>>2260721I'm not sure if that's correct (even before today's events) because a lot of people were only temporarily there and it really isn't a large studio.Also, pretty funny to see that even in LinkedIn you see people trying to reasonably criticize the game to no avail or response. FC is super disconnected to how gaming works nowadays.
>>2260721>>2260729Just checked LinkedIn, kind of sad how some employees there are already setting themselves as open to work, they know this shit is on its last legs.
>>2260747On one side, yes, I agree, it is sad.On the other side, I think most of the people laid off were artists based on their posts. So... yeah, they shouldn't be in this kind of game.
>>2260747>>2260842Quite a few environmental artists getting laid off, so I guess we can forget about new areas any time soon. Grim, but I guess it doesn't matter if the game isn't making it to the end of the year anyway.
>>2260857I really don't know why they wouldn't give the old skate cities the "Gromstein Island" treatment. Let us go to the entire San Vanelona or Port Carverton maps with a bit of grind or skate.pass. I honestly wouldn't even mind if they did that model for those maps. Seems like an easy W for them too, don't have to spend the time designing maps from the ground up, everyone already loves them. I guess upper management at EA would kvetch at that because it would water down the potential milking of the series in the future.

>>2261156You could tell me they all got fired for incompetence and I'd believe you.Like, you're telling me a "cinematic designer" worked on this game? Fucking where?
So this is how it ends...
>>2261721My wild guesses are thoe trailers (like the one with more realistic characters that were scrapped) and maybe that opening sequence that plays once?
>>2261156>Senior World Builder Lilian Chow, Associate World Director Jeremy Miller, World Designer Ian MelinnGood, the world is shit>Senior VFX Artist Paul M, Senior Technical Artist Ross Krothe. Senior Procedural Technical Artist Gabriel RheaultGood, the game looks like shit>Technical Cinematic Designer Mathieu FallowsWtf did this guy even do in the game?>UI Technical Designer Jason SwanGood, the UI is an abomination>Outsourcing Development Director Jimmy CorvanGood, stop outsourcing shit to jeetsI'm sorry people lost their jobs and all, but these are hardly big losses. The only issue is they're not gonna be replaced, if they were to be replaced by actual competent people it would be a big win.
>>2261721>>2261934That's hardly enough work to justify a full time position. Maybe he was the guy that was manually unlocking people one by one from the tutorial island, he certainly had enough time on his hands.
>>2261938The only job they filled since they launched the "early access" is related to AI.
They'll just shut the servers before even giving us a park editor, right?
>>2262375They won't ever do a park editor because that would imply private servers or (at least) an instance for each individual player. Not only you have several servers for each instance of San Van, you also have separate servers for the tutorial island and there are already servers for the Island of Grooming.They keep saying that it is in discussion when they know very well it won't be possible, even if they reach the new low of just a thousand current players. And, IF they ever did that, it would be a paid service which is insanity for the quality of the game. Wanting to pay for maps, even custom ones, in this shit, is absolutely mental and I only see the most retarded of subhumans wanting to do so.Their variant of Frostbite is just shit for online multiplayer and, again, this is on Full Circle.
>>2262375>the likelihood of ever getting the Combined Pool again dwindles by the day
>>2262528I know I just said it but man it'd be such a slam dunk for them to just give us the old maps. Kills me thinking how cool it'd be to go around those maps seeing a bunch of real people shredding all over, not to mention just classic old spots with different physics would make for a really fun experience. Trickle in one game's map over the next few seasons while they don't have shit else going on. I know it's not THAT simple but c'mon they have people on salary and modders do that kinda shit for free. See how many people stick around then.

>>2273867Oh boy another stupid costume in the skate pass and still no regular ass socks, how can they be this incompetent at something as easy as cosmetics, I couldn't care less but they need to be appealing to the people who keep this trainwreck alive
Gromstein Island
>>22738795 euros !!!
Black socks! (Unless the lighting has screwed this up.)
besides the paint, what makes it '70s'? dark slides and footplants are definitely not 70s tricks.
>>2273911Don't get too excited there might be some garish logo just out of view on the other side. >>2273915I think it's mostly just the theme for the cosmetics in the battlepass.
>>2273931what I was getting at is the 80s theme of the current season at least somewhat influenced gameplay mechanics due to them expanding on handplants, which were popular tricks in the 80s. of course the 70s doesn't have much in the way of tricks, but still. why make it 70s-themed at all?
>>2273867>more Replay Editor features (Effects)>Playback speed can now be keyframed, so you can slo-mo one keyframe section, then speed up the next keyframe section
>>2273879The spillway looks nice, but sorry EA marketing guy I'm not reinstalling
>>2273867>They're not u-turning on the Gromstein paid accessOh my days this game is going to be fucking dead in 3 months
>>2273915>Full Circle please we need new content>Best we can do is recoloring areasGenerational fumbles happening here
>>2273867>people ask for branded items on their shitty pass>they add it>within a new tier of premium passkek
the new map looks cool but fuck getting a premium battle pass
>>2274281that's the first map you skate in
instead of playing skate 4 (since they were updating shit) i was playing some session and figured out the live recording a little more
>>2274375the story missions in session mog the fuck out of any challenge in skate 4 and that is really depressing
>>2274376yeah theyre actually fucking difficult but not for retarded reasons except for one specific mission but that was bugged like — they genuinely fucking blow dick ass in skate 4 like the game turns its physics sliders all to shit when u enter a challenge its so fucked up i hate it fucking hell oh also i went back and retried that fence bump thing a few days ago and got it like 3 times again, but nothing like what i did previously (probably due to different physics.)
>>2274387The Daewon one at the rock? I think they fixed it. Also his other challenges are sick.
>>2274467yeah the daewon one at the rock lol, glad they fixed that, it was genuinely absurd. i somehow managed to do it back then without even realizing how, i didnt even do any of the requirements visually it just activated randomly
>>2274478
>>2274494this one was fun
>>2274540that was kewl>>2274301charging 5 bucks for that is diabolical
>>2274540Oh yeah well can you do this?
I picked up Skate 3 for the first time in over a decade. Crazy how Skate 4 controls better, yet Skate 3 feels infinitely better to play due to the strong animation work. I thought people were exaggerating.
>>2276684now imagine skate 4 with skate 3 style, genuine perfect skate game but its too hard to get game devs that actually care about skating
>>2276684I prefer the animations in 4 by a lot personally but I can't say the ones in 3 are bad, just a style I don't like as much as the style they animated in 4. They both have some big stinkers though. In 3 it's a lot of grinds, especially nose grinds and ESPECIALLY crooks, powerslides feel like shit (I think I saw someone say they're the best in 3 lol). In 4 it's the general carving around and a handful of other things (footplants, exiting lip tricks, some grabs)I'm replaying 3 again after like a decade recently too. The city districts are as shit or possibly more shit than I remember them. I'd still really like them ported into the new game though, still some spots here and there that'd be cool especially with the better controls and more tricks of nuskate.
p
>>2276927Skate 2 is the best package of the original trilogy. 3 had the best physics but everything else was better in 2.
>>2277147abondoned mall is sick, session spots are so nice
>>2277220I really don't know why I didn't remember it so fondly before, I think it's just the one I put the least time into by far. But I'd absolutely agree with that assessment now.
>>2277529the SFX in Skate 2 suck, especially the ollie. it sounds like someone slapping a popsicle stick on the counter.
>>2277529It's funny because I originally disliked Skate 2 when it came out but couldn't tell you why. Maybe it was just some of the changes to the city I wasn't fond of.Then I went back to it later and it's easily the best of the bunch.
>>2277432Probably the best map of the year 1 DLC.
>>2279034At least speaking for myself I think it's mainly the bad first impression from The Rez or whatever that slummy first district is called. Not that I stopped playing there but I think I let it paint my whole judgement of the city. And as I said I spent the least amount of time on 2 by far. I was hooked right from the initial marketing of Skate 1, read all the blogs from Cuz and Scott Blackwood, probably clocked a hundred hours or more on the demo alone. I can't remember if 2 had a demo but I remember playing one for 3 a lot, then of course being the last in the original series it had a ton of time to linger plus the community for created parks as I've mentioned before (Fluck-It) really elevated the third for me at the time.
Funi reproducible out of body experience thing. When you get off your board trapped like this next to the created park objects you detach from your body for a few seconds. It's kinda just left behind spazzing out while you control the camera under the park shit.
kek I have no idea what the hell just happened. I got resynced back to my body then this happened, wasn't pressing anything. I think I was getting raptured. Skateboarding.
Patch Noteshttps://www.ea.com/games/skate/skate/news/update-030-1
>>2279350The Rez was fucked in Skate 2. Just kind of bland concrete structures.The Skate 1 demo was amazing, 30 full minutes of just skating the GOAT community park. Skate 2's was a bit awkward, you'd start with like 10 minutes and get extra for doing the missions in Slappy's so you could get up to I think 20 minutes? You'd have to try and speedrun the missions to get the full amount.
>>2280539can you buy premium bp with in game currency or is it forced 5 euros
>>2280892There are some cool little things in the Rez, I won't personally write it off completely but yeah it is not very sightly and has a lot of filler. Jogged my memory a bit on the demo for 2, that was kind of a pain. I don't remember much about the demo for 3 either but I do remember it was in the University Chan Center area. >>2281101You buy it with San Van Bucks which is usually bought with real money but a tiny bit comes in each battlepass and they've given out a bit for free. It's 1000 SVB or about 10 USD, you may already have the SVB for it if you've been playing and not spending the welfare SVB.
>>2281166I've got 750 from the most recent pass.
>>2281208Bummer. There's 500 SVB in the new pass but I bet most of it is in the premium track, and it'd probably take a few weeks to get it so if this is about getting into Grom Island you're kinda SoL unless you pay a few euros. The additions aren't in the version you play in the tutorial either so can't just skate it for free by making a new account.
>>2281259I can wait until April or whenever it was they were gonna make it available for all.
>>2281268Yeah save the SVB, this pass is probably going to be really weak with the 70s theme. Maybe next season won't have such a stupid theme, there's no way they're doing 60s. Maybe 2000s?
>>2281298it depends on if there's anything interesting. I sat out the first pass as well because nothing in it caught my eye, and only bought S2 with my saved-up SVB because I wanted the kneepads.
Genuinely kinda curious how many people are getting the pass tomorrow. I'm not that mad with the game and $5 or so every 3 months isn't shit so I'm gonna grab it. I think most people are justified in no-buy stances though, not trying to convince anyone otherwise.
Putting grom behind paywall is the sole reason I am not spending any real money in this game, I'll buy this pass coincidentally because i've earned over 1k for previous pass + free handouts but only if the cosmetics in the pass are decent this time around.
>>2281910>but only if the cosmetics in the pass are decent this time around.One thing that gets me real mad is that I think they got people from sims 4 working on this shit. It's always the same generic shirt mesh + poorly placed png, they only ever had 2 or 3 new meshes in season 2 and not even for regular shirts, just retarded stuff like the vests
sad
It's up !!!!!!!!!!!
>>2282224>still maintenanceFUCK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
How come you can freely move tattoos around your legs and arms but you can't do the same for board stickers? Are the devs retarded?
it's up !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I STILL HAVE THIS BUGIT'S NOT MY GPU
lolI don't see black socks anywhere but maybe I missed them.
There's really nothing more to the new garage spot than what they showed in the pic >>2273869
you can buy every single thing in the shop now btw
>>2282349kek that's kinda sick honestly
Look at all these paypigs sitting there putting money into their account to go to grom.....
>No plain black or white socksEither those black socks are in some fucked up expensive bundle later on or part of one of the upcoming events.I cant believe how ass the store is, the single boring mission on darkslides and dark catches, the season pass is another skip again although was slightly tempted on the suit but the fact that regular pair of glasses is in there is insane.
dark tricks feel off for some reason, like they were meatier in skate 3t skate 4 newfag that emulated 3
A new season, a new "game won't start" bug
I'm actually amazed just how bad those tattoos are, didn't they partner with local tattoo parlors or something in order to make premium tattoos? I think I'd rather take ones made by AI.
>error cannot connect to game serversI refuse to believe they are as overloaded as they were at launch
>Bonelesses are fixed but foot plants are still bustWell, season by season they're getting there I suppose
>>2282499I still remember one of the very first threads on /v/ when people hyped up tattoos incoming and I said it was going to be The Sims 4 tattoos.People don't understand the kind of guy that passes along "community feedback" to Full Circle.On another note, the island is kinda sick.
They removed the billboard with the names of people who bought the premium pass and added a fifa one lmao
Dark flips are nice. Not enough to get me back long term, probably going to dip until season 4/EoS, but they're nice.
the little storage warehouse for event items on isle of grom is a cute bit of world building
>>2282557>>2282528post pics faggots or are they paywalled too
>>2282557I thought that was sick to be honest and they added a lot of those little things.
>>2282561dont be hatin
So how much of Grom is "new" and how much is just the tutorial island
>>2282587I think someone more competent or autistic will probably do a video comparison or similar, but I have the impression that a lot of it is new. There is a lot of details and little spots between the "big" things and the hillbombs are a legit good addition.It's much, much better than the main map in my opinion, and I really think they should let everyone skate it precisely because of that.
>>2282587I'll try to take a couple shitty clips to show it off. The spillway is like 1 minute to run from top to bottom. Has a little side section with some big vert but main ends go to that big long ditch halfpipe that goes off on an angle kinda into the water. The new stuff is mostly the spillway and stuff along it but it's pretty neat, has a bunch of little industrial type spots in addition to the yuge gaps and stuff.
cool, Moly Hatchet
where is the underpass thing they were talking about
>>2282879The parking garage spot?Go to 6th street teleport in bottom right of Hedgemont, turn around then walk north a bit, you'll see the "park" sign.
>>2282889thanks. I was looking in the parkade
>new season>about 3k current playersIt's joever.
>>2282899all hype it had completely died when they announced the premium bp shitbooted up the game tried dark flips looked at the shop then alt f4'd
>>2282811and War
https://streamable.com/4ysqzyLink above is a quick basic spillway run from top to bottom. Tried to give a decent view of stuff on the sides. Will upload a couple other clips of other stuff.Not sure why the little bridge unloaded at like 0:16 (and one before that, probably my aging computer). The hole to the left you can see there is mp4 related, just off the path by some bend in the road above. Will show the lower spillway where I end here in another clip. At like 30 seconds in the streamable thing you see that fork area, all 3 main routes go to the same halfpipe. You can kinda see more to the far right, just a little mellow spot with an entrance to the lower spillway. With the old stuff that gets kinda hidden from you in the tutorial and these new additions the island is overall pretty sick in my opinion.
>>2282957man even the lightning looks better, they half assed the first map so much
>>2282961They capped a lot of the first map. There is a plaza with NOTHING in it in the current map, but in the second-to-last one in the closed test it had a funbox and some rails that were super cool. They really need to overhaul it and fast.
>>2282961grom really does feel like its from an entirely different skate game. its kinda bizarre
Lower spillway, dropping in from a ledge just before the tunnel at 0:26 in the streamable video above, marked with red paint where you can drop in. >>2282961Yeah honestly whoever did the map additions here understood the assignment. There are some pretty nice little details in this map. Already had some cool stuff going on that the tutorial never took you to.
>>2282982I think this is my favorite part of the island. I've been skating the whole thing but mostly this since the patch dropped and still only did the obligatory missions, not a single challenge yet.They REALLY need to show the island and let everyone go in for free.I'd ditch the retarded main map and make an archipelago of islands like Grom
>>2282989>spoilergrom looks great from the mainland, too. littering the place with islands would be even better
>>2282989>They REALLY need to show the island and let everyone go in for free.Seriously.. massive loss to not just let everyone in for free. Especially with how pitiful the actual new spot is in the city. The game needs new spots every 3 months, at least til it builds up a nice library of content to skate. If they had avoided the controversy with this and just given access to everyone I think the sentiment around the game would genuinely start to improve. They dug themselves a pretty deep hole. >spoilerI agree honestly. As much as Skate 3 sucked with its little districts I kinda think it is still the way to go. It's a ton of fucking work to do a whole ass city that actually flows well. They should just focus on making stuff the size of grom island or so. Just nice, themed islands like an industrial one, a suburban one, an old town like one, etc. And just port the old cities reeeeeeee
Gromstein Island looks really cool, they're retarded for making most of the player base have to wait a month to play it when their player counts are in the dumps. I also get the feel that once the season is over they'll be removing it from the game which is an even crazier thing to do.>>2282999I think a huge city like Skate 2 doesn't really work in an always online game like this, you could be free skating in it with 99 other players in your server and run into none of them. But the game has been out for 6 months and the only new area they've developed is just a portion of this island, everything else was already done before release. I don't think they have the ability, or the will, to give us a new island every 3 months.
>>2283021>you could be free skating in it with 99 other players in your server and run into none of themThat's exactly what I want
Another thing I'll give them props for is that the store has really reduced the FOMO by a ton. Anon mentioned it before but just about all the SVB stuff is just in the store with no timer or anything through the "essentials" pages. There's the Featured bundle that's here for 2 weeks, a couple other bundles here for 1 week, bunch of gestures for a month, quick drop objects for the season. Really wish they'd do that for the stupid Ripchip F2P stuff. >>2283021I'm not saying it has to be something this big each month, I honestly think the amount they added last season was pretty decent. The tunnel kinda sucked and the roofs were hit or miss but like the amount of new spots was good for a 3 month update. A whole island like this could be like a once a year or 9 months thing. And as far as a bigger city, they'd have to have a better more seemless instancing/matching thing which is probably far beyond their capabilities. Something that basically moves you between servers seemlessly in the background without you noticing, so when you're in Old Town it puts you in the server with a bunch of other people in Old Town etc.
>>2282999If they really, really want to keep the main map, they should actually divide the districts and make them extremely distinct from each other. Overhaul them individually, if needed. "Release" brickswitch since I think it's the most unique district and then re-release each of the other ones for the next couple months.They mentioned previous games' spots, I'd go full meta and do a disneyworld thing. "Here is the University District from Port Caverton as its own island, go have a blast and use your skater eyes" and fuck it.Also the lootboxes are even more useless now with the new shop thing. Just get rid of them and make a shop for the unbranded stuff with ripchips.
>>2283034I honestly do think the "main map" really is/was just intended to be just the "downtown" district long term. Probably still act as like the main hub sort of thing long term with other "districts" being through a bridge teleport or ferry. Probably not getting districts as big as the whole downtown with 4 separate neighborhoods, probably the size of what's across the water or grom island. Skate 3 districts are perfect candidates since they're already divided out. Beating a dead horse again but I just don't get why they wouldn't.
>>2282999they picked the perfect city for 'flow', San Francisco. it's all hills. mix it with Los Angeles and you can sort of shape it into a bowl where all the routes ultimately lead down to the waterfront. it ends up kinda being like a series of ski slopes with some flat parks interspersed in it.
We would never be in the situation where isle of gram was paywalled if:* The store launched the way it is now* Stopped bothering with developing most of the emotes (waste of time and resources)* Focussed entirely on making appealing clothes and more clothing meshes in general* BASIC BLACK/WHITE SOCKSIt is actually unreal when you try to keep your game alive with cosmetics while making all the cosmetics as unappealing as possible, the current skate pass is full of trash other than the suit.
>>2283071It was a chink DEI hire that was in charge of the character aesthetics and it was her that:1) changed male and female to a genderless form because she thought people wanted that (she said it on video)2) said on the voice chat test that "she didn't get why brands are so important in skate"3) designed basic meshes so you can just slap a png and call it a day, which reminds me when are they going to remove the basic black cargo shorts since the adidas one is the same thing but with a tiny png on one side just like the dickies pantsAlso the socks things is absurd, on the closed test they were free and you could pick any color until they introduced the lootboxed and vanished, now they are saying "basic black socks are coming soon this season" lol
>>2283077I mean, she has a point with the brands thing. skaters traditionally were hardcore anarcho-punks who hated corporations worming their way in and slapping their branding on everything. there's a reason why there was a fad for removing the graphic from a deck and only wearing plain white shirts for a while
>>2283083White that's true, that's something that passed. People watched tapes, read thrasher, played the videogames, etc etc etc for much longer. And she said that because she also said she never even played skate or touched a board in her life, as she said several times before.Also, today is even worse. You surely have simple people just skating, but you also have fit beasts going full supreme to the park because their gay ass favorite skater also does it.
>>2283077>It was a chink DEI hire that was in charge of the character aesthetics and it was her that:1) changed male and female to a genderless form because she thought people wanted that (she said it on video)This is some newfag /v/ tier complaint, nobody really gives a shit about this nor has to interact with it for more than a few seconds, nobody complained about this shit in games like saints row etc>2) said on the voice chat test that "she didn't get why brands are so important in skate"Semi valid, I personally don't care but I can see why others would but they're poorly implemented here.>3) designed basic meshes so you can just slap a png and call it a day, which reminds me when are they going to remove the basic black cargo shorts since the adidas one is the same thing but with a tiny png on one side just like the dickies pantsWhat's crazy is how slow they are with releasing these sorts of things, they have the mesh for socks, why don't they at release already have 10 basic flat color options for socks available (even if some are paid), why in season 3 are we still seeing alternate color options as new releases for an existing mesh?They should have like 10 basic flat colors for every single mesh available in addition to more detailed/patterned/branded versions, I think right now theres only like 3 versions of the track suit bottoms and only 2 of the punk/zipper pants, its crazy how little options there are with how easy it is to create and implement.
>>2283087>This is some newfag /v/ tier complaint, nobody really gives a shit about this nor has to interact with it for more than a few seconds, nobody complained about this shit in games like saints row etcThe problem with that is that they removed you being able to skate shirtless, anon, which was cool. Also, the inventories were separate and not cluttered with mixed gender stuff. I do not care about /v/ retarded shit, I care about my autism.>They should have like 10 basic flat colors for every single mesh availableThat's how it was. Basic shirt, pick a color, basic pants, basic shorts, basic skirt, etc.
>>2283086Thrasher was originally an amateur pulp zine made by skaters as an alternative to the big corporate skate mags like Skateboarder. same with skate vids, Peralta's stuff was seen as 'normalfag' stuff for people who didn't skate.
>>2283103I know and you also know what I'm talking about.
>>2283090I can understand the issue with the mixed gender stuff just because many people are likely to choose play male or female and never interact with opposite sex clothes, I would how companies actually discuss this issue because with western games like this I'd assume most clothes would end up being male only or unisex whereas a japanese game would have weebs playing as girls and almost every cosmetic would be girls clothes which I'd hate for this game.They clearly aren't thinking much when they put things into the skate pass considering there's like 4 or 5 thigh high socks alone in there, so many fucking girls clothes.
>>2283113I know, we're just talking
>>2283118or you can just have the game recognise when your character is male or female and automatically change the clothing fit to match. the old Skate games did just that; it would turn a regular T into a babydoll T with the same colour and graphic if you were playing as a girl. you now remember how in Skate 2 if you made your character a girl they were canonically a tranny
i would just like to remind you that any potential purchases should be made through the ea website as you get bonus shit and punch card bonuses
Damn, even the lighting in the island is much better, what a contrast I just had when I came back to check the new "gritty areas"Also not to be pedantic (but being) I find it cute that they are placing stickers on rails and poles but they really should at least use the stickers the player can have since they are useless. At least there would be some identification or something
there's this constant cricket or cicada sound on the isle of grom and its fucking bothering me. i thought there was a something in my room
>>2283131Good tip to be honest. If anyone is actually spending money on the game you get like 10% more SVB and some extra bonuses on a point system that gives you more SVB and Tix. The funny thing is that even with me being open to spending money there's still so little I would even want in my inventory let alone spend money on.
>>2283158>The funny thing is that even with me being open to spending money there's still so little I would even want in my inventory let alone spend money on.them forcing their retarded items from season 2 was certainly a decision, I really did not want those pink/green biker shorts in my inventory
>>2283163Even before shit like that I was already thinking it feels necessary for them to soon develop some sort of filter or favoriting system for the inventory.
>>2283158i went with that cheap $5 s3 starter bundle. female skaters are hurting for decent pants and the flairs were very tempting. plus the first purchase bonus SVB pushed me over the hump to get the grom pass
I think I've found a new bug. If you no comply 180 and then instantly do a late nollie shuv you cancel the animation and the trick happens instantly/super fast, no matter the pop if you time it right.
is that the red nike sb at the start screen
>>2283211I think they're the PRMAFLO Puffletic Burgundy shoes from page 3 of the pass.
>>2283186I wish there was a way to turn off the auto 180 for no complys>just spin against itnot the same, the game automatically lands you in nollie because it assumes you're going to land in switch, forcing you to switch out of nollie stance.
I feel like I need glasses IRL to look at my monitor after taking the water taxi back to the city. It is obnoxiously bright. >>2283221I've seen clips of people do normal straight no complies before but never seen anyone say how it's done despite questions in the comments etc.
>>2283221I agree, I fucking love to use it (and I'm loving that they fixed footplants) but that bothers me a lot.
>>2283225I wish we could do some of the variants Mike V does in Public Domain https://youtube.com/watch?v=w3QqCkKwa50&list=RDw3QqCkKwa50&start_radio=1&pp=ygUbbWlrZSB2YWxsZWx5IHBvd2VsbCBwZXJhbHRhoAcBbonking off kerbs, adding pressure flips and finger flips to them, that kinda stuff. the foot plants are still a little janky, especially on vert and off walls. the vast majority of the time my guy still just ragdolls when his foot touches anything other than flat ground.
>>2283234like picrel, for example. BS Boneless. if my guy would just put his foot down on the lip when I hold a Judo coming in, it would be great.
A bunch of these traffic arms or whatever you call them can be repositioned. Same with a lot of polejams.
Are replays bugged again? My game just explodes when exporting a video
>>2283254My game softlocked in the first replay I tried to make but it's been fine for a handful others I've messed with since then.
>>2283234>>2283238I wholeheartedly agree.
Found something kinda fun and interesting to hit in the new city spot. Hard to get without tapping the circle but it still looks kinda cool. Barrel distortion is also really nice to have.
>>2283334>Later this season>Simple black socks>Not even a jpg brand slapped on>Just some fucking plain color average every day socks>"Lol pls let us cook"They need to fire whoever is running their socials. What an asshole.
I'm glad I stopped playing Skate regularly otherwise I would've bought the premium BP instantly, I can wait a month now
>>2283921It's only $10 and it's fun but let's be real... we're all probably going to get pretty bored of it by a month or so in. Might as well just wait.
random ass 8 year old kid joined my party and started singing alone on open mic wtf
Dafuq's going on with the Gullcrest community parks? Yesterday at least one side of the outdoor part had some stuff but today it's literally just the indoor part, the entire outdoor area is empty.
>>2283986finally a good park
Has the map always had sound effects? You get this weird water sloshing and wind wooshing sound effect when you move the cursor over the coastline
More discarded m-corp briefcases alongside a vandalized m-corp boat. They're really out here offing corpos.
they brought back the ability to zoom in while playing back replays, nicealso what the fuck was this?
>>2284236Not a damn clue. Mine popped doing that own the spot in the spillway, where you have to gap over the channels.
>>2284240mine popped on this
>>2284236"Do a tre homie"
>>2284247oh, lol
I like how much of a closet coomer whomever the character modeller is, this isn't even halfway on the T&A sliders
>>2284311i got a boner trying on leggings, instantly switched back to baggy jeansi still don't understand why they murdered the char faces they were okay before but now they're awful
this shit kirkenuinely made me rage but i got it
>>2284349The whole area is a prime example why they really should let you control the wallride assist, because if you have low grind assist you're fucked.
>>2284331can't really see them, and I made my chick look decent. you kinda gotta fiddle with makeup to clean them up.
>>2284349whats the problem?
>>2284374landing the 10 flip trick to grind flip tricks at the start, restarting if i fuck up too much, because you get like 3 minutes to do iti only restarted like 6 times but i realized you could drop an object so i dropped a rail right at the start and immediately got it out of the way lmao
lol
did they modify any other map spots besides the underground parking garage?
>>2284392yes actually! they removed all of that weird foliage on the lighthouse island :^)
fuck this gay ass game and its' gay ass challenges
>>2284433(it didn't recover from this and i had to force quit after 2 minutes)
>>2284440It was funny nailing this challenge with a rando and him sprinting at me with his hands up to thank me
>>2284433>he doesn't manual after every trick to be sure he did itgame bugged to punish you
>>2284466more retarded busywork, but i'll keep that in mind for next timei don't actually care about the challenges, because the game explicitly tries to make it as little fun as possible, i just want the juicy currency so i can buy things that i'll never wear
>>2284060I think it's new, along with the annoying sound effects in the shop and stuff.
the light blue girl deck is calling me bros
>>2284843i had to get the yellow one. girl decks are just too cool dude. the girl grip tape has been constantly on my board too
>>2284847I've been happy with the black and green Creature deck they gave out for free around Halloween. before that I was using a blank.
>>2284847That one is also sick. The only one I have from Girl is the white free one, it's not that cool in-game.>>2284878I have the 'traditional' green logo one and the free one, I've been thinking about the others but they also do not look as cool in-game. Pretty sure they would be just a black blur, except the orange logo one. I have pic related IRL, wonder how it would look in-game
>>2284905probably like the one Girl deck, I forget whose pro model it is but it's based on some renaissance art. I never much cared for Girl, I was a little emo dweeb so I rode Mystery as a kid (Skate 1 having Mystery as a team option put me over the moon) and once I grew out of that I went to whatever I could get that was on sale in the size I ride and Peralta/Santa Cruz retro reissues
>>2284910The pied piper one? Could be, also Bennett also has a pro model with Bjork on it, it would be hilarious to have her in a EA gameI liked Girl because of the videos and tony hawk pro skater but I always had creature/enjoi/deathwish/local skateshop decksI think I will get a Zero one next
>>2284843No kidding. I've been rocking that dono "skate like a girl" board, but these Girl decks are crazy tempting.
>>2284920I think that's about as likely as the Disney World Industries decks. at the moment I have an Element because it was the only board in the shop that was under 8.5 and was on sale.
they changed the animation for nollie 360 inward heelflip right? it kicks the legs way out more
>>2285383
Nips love it so it must be good, right?
>>2285414this is a pic from r*ddit right..?
>>2285417https://xcancel.com/OTN_GIRL/status/2031709916415828168#m
>>2285421can't be surprised since japs also made gachas popular
>>2285421Pretty sure this dude works for EA.
man im just trying to transition between these grinds why does the game gotta do this to me
>>2285478so close man
>>2285473I dislike Milky a lot so I hope FC ignores these even if it's in my own detriment too
>>2285489why would you hate him he seems normal
>>2285489A VOD of him going over patch notes or something got recommended once and I clicked it for shits and giggles. Dude is almost illiterate, it was so frustrating watching and listening to him struggle to read. Like at least one word every sentence would give him trouble.
>>2285486fine with this. would be better if i could transfer UP the other one but i'm happy i guess
>>2285473Popless tricks looked kinda janky in their own way, they need to give us settings or some sort of control to pop tricks appropriately low out of grinds that isn't a glitch. Same with double grinds, you could only really do them on specific spots because it was abusing angles and seams for the most part. Not saying it's great to remove options but I'm not really missing these much to be perfectly honest, and it seems like this stuff is just collateral damage from doing improvements to intended features like bumping out of most grinds looks better now. My only gripe is that it's hard or impossible to control which way you spin going out so trying to come out fakie without popping looks bad.
>>2285571>My only gripe is that it's hard or impossible to control which way you spin going out so trying to come out fakie without popping looks badI think they also accidentally changed wind-ups on grinds.
I noticed they didn't fix the buggy lip trick setup mechanic. on certain inputs your character will still unnaturally morph over the lip and not lock into grinds, and also will sometimes clip into himself and violently explode into a bail.
>>2285605Speaking of something similar, I noticed and reported two bugs on the survey, but I don't think they read thoseIf you flip into a slide on a ledge, you often explode and is launched away. I'm not sure if it's related to distance relative to the ledge or to the corner of such, but it happens. Also, especially on Isle of Grom rails, your slides and some crooks continue after the rail ends.
>>2285602I honestly never even heard of pre-winding spins in grinds before.
joke of a game
hey jeff thanks for coming to our threadplease add mystery and zero decks
>>2285622cool physics game fuck you
>>2285622Right? tfw got the replay to export stuff but I had to reduce everything and it looks like shit AND it only exports in webm format
>>2285681I've noticed this happening a lot. Or your board entirely slipping out from under you as you come up on the coping. Its as if the back wheels suddenly go turbo and whip you right off.
>>2285681i just use obs capture, but yeah, the internal exporter is garbage. also i dont really want to use keyframes because they feel really janky and take way more effort than just live recording the replay with no hud (plus they brought back adjustable fov whilst the footage is playing which is nice)rn im just trying to spam out this shit so i can do something else
>>2285685and donenow i can go fuckin do something else
>>2285680There's a kinked rail in the new section of gromstein island that sends you sideways right at a kink, kinda frustrating. The rail has super shit run-up anyway so it's not a big loss but it'd still be cool to actually skate it.
>land sloppy>SFX plays of a pocketful of change hitting the groundthat's new
>>2282957Teasing out this gap was pretty funAlso, the clip export system is a real hog, I should just go back to manual screen capture
I told them on the survey that I would buy SVB if they added Hook-Ups gear and decks, here's hoping
>>2285977I didn't ask for any brand this time. They will keep with the safe ones and they really need to expand the catalog on those first anyway.Also, no chance they will add Welcome, Heroin, Zero, Enjoi, etc etc etc so I won't even try anymore not that they read the surveys
>>2286106took me three seconds to type so whatever.
>>2286106>Welcomenah
>>2286124pic didn't upload
>>2286124>>2286127I like their non-collab models. The Britney ones are hilarious though
felt like booting up skate again after a bit, why do they keep on releasing clothes that make my skater's ass look fat?
>>2285744Noice>>2286127>Beetlejuice x Welcome
how many vbucks do you get for completing the BP?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GYb9FUYcpSw
>>2287124>scrub to random point>he's trying to do some gay pop glitch
>>2287125normies got one shotted by that for some reason, don't know why they're so obsessed over it
>>2287129The funny thing is if they had the slightest bit of patience and curiosity they'd just find there's a new one with dark catches. Though I hope they patch that one too mostly just because it'd be funny.
City's haunted.>>2286768250 for non-premium if I counted right, 500 total for premium.
Yeah there's no reason to ever go back to the main zone, what a bunch of retards for locking it to the bp. Could've had everyone see that they can design a good map
Seems like you do a slightly better animated power ollie off of ledges now. Still room for improvement, would be cool to do tricks like this too. >>2287315>what a bunch of retards for locking it to the bp. Could've had everyone see that they can design a good mapYeah it could have been a pretty free win for them at least as far as community favor goes, most likely would have brought in more bp sales too just because the sentiment around the game wouldn't be nearly so bad, way more people would come back to try it. Unrelated but it kinda dawned on me that it's kinda funny they finally caved to the idea of putting "legacy" spots in the game the same week they announced layoffs. It's like as soon as they got some pressure on their team they decided the obvious easy choice was finally okay. Seemed like something they were against before with the way they'd adamantly insist they're not doing a sequel, it's not a remake, etc.
>>2287364to be fair, they have had 'legacy' spots since day 1. the Rolling Waves park has a bowl lifted straight from Skate 1, and I've seen a few other spots around the map from the past games. the closed beta map had a recreation of Skate 1's community centre too.
i wish i could open davinci resolve and skate at the same time but both compete for resources so much it sometimes just bluescreens my computer>>2287315i'm a slight bit envious of that map, but it'll eventually come to non paypigs right?
by the way what does that orange diamond symbol mean on other people's names
>>2287411I actually think the fun city map had a ton of chopped up stuff from the old games, which honestly makes sense for testing a remade engine etc. And yeah there are a couple spots in game. Particularly ones that were real life spots to begin with, like hubba hideout at one end of the cut, 3rd and Army (aka 2nd and Navy in Skate 3), I feel like some smaller features around the city are assets from the old games too. I mostly expected that sort of thing but assumed they weren't going to put a whole ass thing like the entire community center into the live game before but now it's on the table for sure. >>2287434>it'll eventually come to non paypigs right?Yeah see pic related.>>2287439They added icons to show what people are doing. The orange diamond is the symbol for challenges so obviously it means they're in a challenge. Little camera symbol if they're in a replay, one for AFK, etc. Nice for social people to know if you're actually sessioning with someone or if they're in a challenge and don't even see you, or if they're busy for a party invite, etc.
>>2287439in a mission probably
>>2287442gotchya thank you>>2287441alright, that's good to know. i hope they don't go back on it and be like "um actually nvm you guys dont get it, LOL!"
>>2287441yeah I wasn't considering the real spots that got reimagined, but stuff explicitly from past games.
I thought they removed this
>>2287669They thought they did too.
>>2287315Wild that this likely would never have happened if they had the store the way it is now with actually appealing cosmetics rather than all these crappy emotes and costumes like the grippler.
>mfw cheating faggots in throwdownssure thing you can just spin around in place and earn 1 million points lol hope you get banned
>>2288223i wish more people were willing to just to tradesies on the stupid ass throwdown monthly. back in my day you'd get lobbies of people grouping up in lone wolves to get the spartan laser achievement in halo 3. common courtesy is dead.
>>2288223Really glad we have Javelin bogging down the game.
it's the fucking 6th time today this fucking shit has happened to me. can you actually just fuck off EA holy shit man
>>2288278Its like that TV patent where you'd have to stand up and say the name of the brand being advertised in order to get the advert to fuck off. Gotta pull out your board and do a kickflip to progress.
this game a lot of shit, and rightfully so. but ever since it dropped ive seen a good handful of noobies clumsily cruising around the burbs in my small midwest town. walking home today i bumped into a guy trying to learn how to ollie, and ended up giving him some pointers. really feels like a resurgence of what was happening in the early 00s when skateboarding video games were popping off
>>2288294i know it's made me go and try to skate, lol. it also re-kindled my interest in playing session a lot more, because wow is that game actually so much more controllable and less floaty
>>2288294>>2288296Same here, been skating irl a lot more.Also, this game really needs harder settings. And a way to hit big drops if your allowed fall height is at 0.
>>2288296>i know it's made me go and try to skate, lol.learning, rekindling, or just putting in more effort?>because wow is that game actually so much more controllable and less floatyit feels like full circle has leaned away from "realistic" gravity and slams in favor of hang time. replaying skate 3 only made it that much more apparent how little weight there is here in skate(dot).>>2288304there should definitely be some sort of a manual "brace" mechanic to handle larger drops. similar to turning off grind assist, there should be a way of mechanically offsetting the fact that you've turned off the drop threshold. it turns an optional setting into something you actually have to work on mastering
>>2288310>there should definitely be some sort of a manual "brace" mechanic to handle larger drops. similar to turning off grind assist, there should be a way of mechanically offsetting the fact that you've turned off the drop threshold. it turns an optional setting into something you actually have to work on masteringAgreed. On gravity, that definitely should be an option.Also let me control the wallride assist/magnetism, jesusSeriously, someday they will have to do something about people who try more grounded/realistic stuff. They cannot pander to LE PEARL JAM - STEEZUS CHRIST EPIC YOUTUBE SKATE 3 CLIP people all the time.
>>2288312>Also let me control the wallride assist/magnetism, jesusThis, truck tightness and wheel hardness are 3 settings that really need to be added asap.
>>2288312>Also let me control the wallride assist/magnetism, jesusyou think that's whats been throwing everyone off their boards with season 3? sort of rapidly trying to transition into a wallride when the player doens't mean to?
>>2288316>truck tightness and wheel hardnessthe spillway and snake run on grom are just begging to be carved. powerslides and reverts aint cutting it.
>>2288318No, I think that's something that's been happening since the closed tests, not only season 3. Poles and ledges have "walls" and you're glued to them sometimes. On poles, if you ollie over them gravity somehow bends and your character literally gravitates around it before settling in. On ledges, since forever sometimes your character seems to try to wallride it instead of settling into a grind/slide and I've been getting the throw-off bug since forever, especially if you try to flip in or flip out of it. I think the specific thing that's been happening in season 3 is related to the "smooth grind out" thing they are trying. I'm sure everyone here noticed, sometimes your scoring ticker goes crazy when you're grinding or sliding, showing you're doing a fuckton of grinds within a second, so I think the engine is detecting multiple grinds and trying to put you out of them and somehow that explodes and pushes you away.It's just speculation, there's certainly a better explanation.Though I do think they do not have a QA that actually plays the game in all its capacity. They're probably relaying on people like us now.
>>2288324>relayingRelying. I'm sorry, I'm super tired. The whole thing is really poorly written, but I think you guys get it.
this game.
