Sorry for not using a better pic, kinda rushed the bread together.

Latest roadmap.
>>2720952the pic is pretty radical, chum
>>2720947>new ped voice linesyou reminded me of how a while back I once ran out a bail and heard an SFX that I guess was meant to be change or car keys falling out of my guy's pockets. I heard it that one time and never again.
What do you guys think will be in season 5?I'm honestly expecting nothing, maybe they actually finally added S.K.A.T.E.Brickswich challenges finally? I don't expect a new skateable location yet unless they throw out another shitty instanced stadium somewhere (its so ass I can't believe they charge to go in that thing and nobody will go in the thing again after this season is over.I think the game will shutdown by season 6 maybe 7.
Thought I’d be able to bust these all over the xgames x rail like you can with the forked rail… I was wronghttps://streamable.com/7je4bh
>>2722760>how to do *difficult trick*>pop>flick>catch>ride away cleanThose were the tutorials by pros back in the day before guys like Radrat and that scientology guy popped up on youtube.Bunch of assholes if you ask me
when do you suppose they will fix the bug where coming out of a grind at low speed will give you a full four push with a single push
a
>>2726858whenever they fix the bug that causes you to snatch on the edge of a rail or ledge whenever you try and grind off of it rather than exiting early.
Here's your X Games updatehttps://www.ea.com/games/skate/skate/news/x-games-san-van-eventtl;drStadium redesignSpot Battles (Throwdowns but in specific areas)Friend codesBlock Parties (pop up challenges)Blocking players will make them disappear and their Quick Objects will be mostly transparent
>>2727943>X Games Spot Battles are for up to six players individual players (no parties)the stadium is a megavert, a bowl, and for you street lovers... a rail. at least the bowl section looks quite interesting with various angles and transitions.
>>2727943>Stadium is just a glorified community park you have to pay to enter, grim.>Another recycled game mode>who the fuck needs friend codes? sounds easy as fuck to implement to pretend they're working>block parties sound pointless and nobody will use them unless forced to>its a shame they'll probably start actually banning people for griefing now
>>2728013a good halfpipe, my prayers have been answered.
>>2728013Looks good, now they just need to fix pumping so I can actually skate it
>>2728151> they'll probably start actually banning people for griefing nowI fucking hope so, fuck those brainless faggots
>>2727943>have setting since launch that allows you to disable all player dropped objects>but because retards don't know how to use it, instead we're going to start punishing the intelligent playerswhy not just switch that setting to on by default? and include a hotlink to it in the item drop menu?
>>2728151I think the stadium is free for the X-games event fwiw. And I think friend codes can be nice, but yeah not really a feature to write home about. I think the block parties thing could be a neat way to concentrate people across the server into one spot making for more of the little impromptu DIY sessions and stuff which I've found fun when I come across.
>>2729184it should be free permanently, the need to use ripchips is absurd for what little is in there, why is it even INSTANCED too?This block party shit is a massive cope, they figured out they'd have to actually put effort into the game to add matchmaking and proximity chat so they threw them into "in discussion" so those poor souls can hope that one day (never happening) it will come.
>>2720947I can’t wait to be able to thanos all these fucks if they mean objects will be even less visible than this
>>2733074>if they mean objects will be even less visible than thisthey don't, that would be too much work for them
0.31.5 patch noteshttps://www.reddit.com/r/SkateEA/comments/1v1sk1g/0315_patch_notes/Actually bigger than I expected. Looks like a decent overhaul to footplants from air, tutorial overhaul / fat cutting, pumping adjustments, and some other things.
>>2740847>total revamp of from-air foot plants... better hop, timing, momentum preservation; can do them off walls and banks reliablyone of my checklist items, rad
>>2740847i've had such problems with pumping and lip outs that once it took me like 10 attempts to simply finish the big ramp run in Stadium because i couldn't get up and out of the big roll-in for the last checkpoint sounds like there's still more they want to do but hoping it's at least a little better.whereas air to footplant changes just make me nervous, they had quite a lot of gravity before which was fine, they'll probably be silly mario jumps now.
stoke's skill vid, stadium layout actually a lot better than i thought, and some decent stuff outside toohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=noZfd2yaTn8
>space jam theme intensifies
IT'S UP!!!!!!!!!
>the new HP is big enough you can raw pump into a 1080schweet
X Games stadium is nice, shame it'll go back to the garbage normal design after the eventAt least footplants are kinda fixed, even though they've overtuned them a bit and you jump a bit too far out of themFair play, an actually good update
This new stadium setup is the best
Bros... how did they do it??https://github.com/mchughalex/skate3recomp/releases/tag/v2.0.0

>>2759071>>2759114derp
>>2759071We're so close to getting Skate 2 kino again
>>2759071The frames are smooth but it still feels like molasses compared to nuskate. Not sure if that's just how the game is
>>2759394The original trilogy kinda feels like shit after playing anything newer for a while in my opinion.
real X Games are starting. scooterfags should be over soon
>>2759644Made me appreciate the new game a lot more. The older ones are barely playable
>>2723050I remember those days.>How to kick flip>Step 1. Olly>Step 2. Flip it>Step 3. Catch it>Step 3. Roll away>Tune in next time for heelflips>Stay rad
vert best trick at the X Games gold was a kickflip varial to mute 900, last run of the comp
>>2762899Trick inflation is crazy man. Gui basically got some light applause for it. They were treating this like a normal thing.Which I guess it is now.
Spot Battles aren't bad, but making them score based is a disaster. I gotta sit here for 30 seconds watching some kid spam tricks, manuals and spread eagles? Come on man. Just make it a player choice award.
>>2763471and like 50% of competitors are 14 year old Japanese kids. I'm reminded of how Burnquist scored a 98 for a fakie 5-0 one year
I also noticed the street and park sections aren't exactly like the ones being used this year. I wonder if the game version was based on an earlier prototype and the X Games changed the design after Skate's model was already complete.
crazy how fun this game can be when an update is "add an actually decent skateboarding area", and cleans up a few gameplay issues along the way. i'd actually give them some money if the cashshop wasn't a big overpriced poop and we saw these sorts of additions more consistently.
>>2766132the only thing that would get me to pay actual cash money is Hookups decks
Filming sucks. Only posting it because it took me longer than expected to land it.The vert ramp is fun but all in all the stadium is underwhelming 2 b quite honest
what did this nigga do
these girls fucking suck can they land a single trick
>>2766933Canadian
>>2766933I looked in the Skate discord and saw some drama about a "big skate content creator" who had just been banned and people were freaking out.Couldn't care less but funny to watch the community manager have a meltdown and start deleting posts.
>>2768534what did he do
>>2768707According to him he "called out the devs giving content and promotion preference to their friends and not disclosing it" and now saying "milky" is apparently an auto 3-day ban on the discord.tl;dr content creator mad he isn't in the cliqueMake of it what you will
>>2768838they prob hate him for being a relatively big skate content creator and not constantly sucking their dick
milky can barely even read who cares
>>2763509Points based anything in this game is a mistake and yet they made a bunch of modes around it when the optimal way to play is just spamming every flip trick variant
>>2769601It's pretty sad watching kids spam fliptrick/manual over and over not realising there's no multiplier. It still tends to work out for them though.Then you also have people using a spread eagle bug to gain a ton of points.At this point I just bail immediately so I can get the 'play a spot battle' challenge without dealing with the bullshit and even that's not worth it because the X Games coins items are shit.
>>2770239it actually bothers me the most how people push.going after score, spamming tricks, whatever it's an arcade mode and i'm sure many people view the game like THPS, an arcade game, but with funnier ragdoll physics. but seeing them kick push up/down transitions and at every moment immediately when not in the middle of a trick... it's painful. you are on wheels my dude, let 'em work. i feel like i influence people in the street spot battle. i do a run with like 0-3 pushes for the whole thing, then see the spammers massively chill out in their next runs and actually start realizing basic physics will carry them forward. it's my good deed for the day.
>>2771883Beautiful line bro, shout out to the spot battle markers still showing in replays fucking hell
I thought of something kind of funny, looking for girl characters just standing around and walking up next to them for a second to get a picture like this just to say “Me and BAE”
>>2775002>h3h3 productions
>>2779413kek
he's still seething wtf
>>2780501Not sure what happened but I'm not exactly inclined to believe or side with some 15-year-old-girl ass vagueposting like he's doing.
>>2779413lmao
Free deck in the store!!!!!!!!
>>2796494what is it? watching softball so I can't check until this evening
>>2796503
>>2796553never heard of em. thanks
>>2796720lmao does he think he invented the idea of large gatherings?
kinda wish they had come up with some new challenges based on runs from this year's X Games, rather than simply refresh the old ones.
Guesses for what's coming next season?There's supposedly a new form of progression, no idea what that would entail considering the insane lack of content, perhaps they're abandoning the districts so they don't have to do anything for brickswich and then just throwing some challenges in that area.If no S.K.A.T.E. still then it's pretty grim
>>2803612probably staying very still and being quiet, just hoping the arabs forgot this shitty little studio exists and belongs to them now.
>>2803612>a new form of progressionOh baby, a new XP bar to grind
Block Parties are live! I have no idea how to join though. I don't see them on the map.
>>2806251I probably won't be able to play this weekend, I like the idea of these to be honest. Reminds me of going downtown on Go Skate Day every year when I was younger, skating with a massive crowd down the streets from spot to spot.
Block parties seem interesting, but so far it's basically just "best score in area" and it's trick spamming city. Needs more variety to be good.
>login to see what the rewards for block party is>extra tixYea, not logging in til next season.
>ANOTHER multiplayer game mode where the person who spams flip tricks winsoh my god bruh
>>2806536Don't worry anon, it's not JUST spamming tricks, it's also "who can glitch jump the highest"
survey is out, so you can let them know their new feature is a complete waste of dev timeagain
>>2810069The easy fix is to make it a co-operative mode, more like an open Own The Lot, but I get they have to appeal to the trick spamming tiktok kids.
>>2803612
>maybe if I'm lucky get one run attempr on every block party goal because it takes 30+ seconds to reset to my session markerlol
game needs blood
>>2811871whose specifically?
Honestly I just wanna do cool tricks. I guess it's hard to implement that to a score system. I did manage to find a few spot battles where people weren't obsessed with points and instead did some cool shit.
>football but you win by deciding not to score when you could have
gentlemen...
>>2814010BEHOLD
I don't understand why there's still so many stiff animations in the gamesome of the landing ones like this look really good so clearly they have the talent there but just aren't using them enough
>>2822148ugly hair
>>2822924I just quickly made a fem character to show the suit off when I noticed
damn this game still exists i keep forgetting
>>2822148oooohhh yeaaaah
>>2823677nigga put in more work for this than actual skate clips
>>2823677>EA gets bought out by the Saudis>Skate immediately gets a fanservice costumehmm
>>2823677lol they couldn't even give you retards a proper swim suit cause they're still trying to push that faggot troon agenda how do you brainlets get shit on by fortnite and still throw money at this dogshit lmao
remove javelin
I wish SkaterXL wasn't so mod reliant in a way.. It could easily have been super popular like the new EA Skate. Shame.
I just got an "Inappropriate Content" warning from a moderator on Steam for criticizing the state of the game over a month ago.I can't believe how many fucking moderators they employ to regularly reply to almost every single topic and say "feedback noted, teehee"
>>2829008they will be laid off, inshallah
>"Progression update" coming in season 5Who wants to bet they actually are wiping ripchips? Honestly I think it'd just be funny because of the community meltdown.
>>2823677>>2824009kek
>>2829008they used bot accounts to bot reviews and it still has a shit rating full circlejerk are fucking retards KEK
https://www.ea.com/games/skate/skate/news/progression-update-aug2026progression update, who cares
>>2833903Oh yeah and season 5 has been delayed 2 weeks from August 25th to September 8th
>>2833903well it does sound better in theory, they've kept removing daily chore shit more and more which is good, and doesn't belong in a skate game. shame everyone has already gone through the progression stuff and has every product box item though, so it's makes no different to all current players. now if only they would take out all the fomo from new areas and content, too.
>>2834100>anon thinks they're not gonna reset everyone's borough progression and ripchips
>>2834529:((i wouldn't even mind that, if they made a more fun Skate1-3 system themed around cover shots and video parts etc)
Block party starting soon!
>>2841564Wake me when they add a co-op mode
https://x.com/skate/status/2089759690360271151
>>2844857Neat, I probably won't do them much like impossibles and fingerflips but nice to have. I hope they sneak grab grinds in soon but it seems like it's 1 trick category per season so maybe season 6. What really matters is what new spot are they giving us to skate?
where am I meant to do the 360 Benihana for this week's challenge? it says 'Stadium' but I've done it in all three areas of the stadium and it hasn't counted. >>2844857right on. hope I can do stuff like under varials. wish they'd make it so all flip tricks can be held infinitely.
>>2844857https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hfj33T4gZq8Another clip, looking at the background it looks like the summer camp leak was correct. I guess means more park type stuff instead of any significant street spot additions which is a bummer, 3 seasons in a row where the skateable area additions are basically all park stuff. If they do make a nice, *big*, flowy park it could be a lot of fun. I guess it's not completely off the cards but at most we'll get a tiny little crap spot like the parking garage bit from this season.
>>2796720He is a faggot. Ever since the very first playable version in the closed access, where those faggot creators weren't in, people were talking about large gatherings towards goals or competitive modes. This guy was cancer in SkaterXL, still is in Skate.
>>2845317It was broken but they fixed it, I just got it
>>2846333alright thanks. now they need to fix the 'skate 50,000 distance units' one, I've been stuck at 0/50k for two weeks.
>>2846370I guess that was a case by case one because it worked for me
whati always keep my drivers up to date with nvcleanstall whats going on here
>>2847027This is the random insane crashing bug thats affecting tons on steam that they haven't addressed for months, either this occurs or your pc completely freezes up and must restart, its unacceptable.
>>2847027>anon hasn't upgraded his fences
nnnnnnEIGHTIES
My dad works for Nintendo and he said season 5 will be okay.
>>2866875wow full circle has some explaining to do
I have a feeling they likely paid to be part of the gamescom opening night and will have the season trailer there
>>2868447I kinda hope not, they need to save the marketing budget for when they have more for normies to do with matchmaking and stuff.
Season 5https://youtu.be/0UAi4AW5KOE
>>2870864https://www.ea.com/games/skate/skate/seasons/skate-season-5Kinda funny last night I was wondering if SUMR could mean Super Ultra Mega Ramp as an homage to Skate 3's Super Ultra Mega Park. Lo and behold it is a mega ramp park.
>>2870876For some reason the site has fuck all on it so here's a reddit post with more pics and info:https://www.reddit.com/r/SkateEA/comments/1vy3y3i/season_5/>New area: Super Ultra Mega Resort (S.U.M.R.) Camp Mega Park>New Hedgemont Street Park (Coming Mid-Season)>New and Updated Tricks/Skatepedia updates: Underflips, Improved Footplants >New Ways to Play: Updated Progression>New Game Modes: Player Spot Battles and Block Parties>QoL Improvements and Bug fixes (details coming on Sept 7, 2026 via the 0.32.0 patch notes)>New Brand Partners: Converse, Baker, Deathwish, Online Ceramics, Welcome, There / Unity>Updated skate.Pass with new Brand Partners>Vans Season 5 Starter Pack>New Tracks to the Soundtrack>Mid-Season Event
>still no S.K.A.T.E.jesus fucking christ man
>>2870876not a megaramper but i can give props it's looks well made and detailed, has it's own look going on with different assets, and the game does lack a lot of decent downhill and verticality like this (Grom and Stadium was so half-assed), so fair enough.sure they'll be a few little spots and nice places to to set up with the item dropper, besides the big trickline stuff.
>>2871180It does feel like they've been going really hard on the Big Ramp type stuff, really would like to see more street spots. A new street *park* called Parry Point Park is coming mid-season in Hedemont by/at Blue Light Beach, and they're redoing the lot where the old community park was for some actual street spots maybe but no timeline. I will agree at least this new mega park does seem to have some work put into it. Might be fun once in a while.
>>2870990It's probably really retarded to balance when you can land anything you want, bails and ""parkour"" give you points and people following youtubers say TRICKLINE TIME with nerd emoji and spam everything they can after a spread eagle glitch. It only worked in previous entries because you could bail since there were difficulty modes and against the AI the AI would bail on purpose several times.Particularly I don't think it is a good idea, unless they revamp everything involving points and landing tricks.
skate 1 is better than this dogshit
https://youtu.be/0lu4KBKutnMomg this look so fucking sick I can't believe they're keeping this from us!!!!!!!!!!!
>>2873452They can very easily filter out specific tricks which would cut out spread eagle and such, all they would need to do is allow interaction with a prop be it what we have to jump off of or grind on and require the other player to perform said trick, hell if they were smart they could also allow toggling removing manuals.Its funny they also haven't released a roadmap either like they have done for all the past seasons
>>2874051the old games disallowed manuals, footplants, grinds, and basically all vert tricks. they also had designated areas where you had to perform the trick.
>>2884570Not fully. I distinctly remember playing S.K.A.T.E in Skate 2 and watching people do footplant 900s down the stair gap behind the library. It didn't count the footplant as part of the required trick but did count the spin.
>>2885559what I meant is the game didn't recognise them as a trick, so if you did the 900 glitch it wouldn't say "heelflip footplant 900" it would just say "900 feel"
>>2885639Oh sure, but it still allows fuckery so that a "900 heel" is still a valid trick which goes against the whole mode. It's the problem with the SKATE mode in general that they never really solved. They'd have to heavily restrict it and their core audience won't like that.
>>2885670it's a game engine problem. you don't fix it by arbitrarily banning certain trick combos, you go to the source and fix the engine glitches that allow it in the first place.
>>2885696And they cannot do that because they are using a spaghetti version of an already heavily modified Frostbite given by DICE. That's also why Javelin will never go away and there will never be a Linux version, and they tried (again recently) to do such without any success. Also, a lot less people are working on the game nowadays.
