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.
