How's the state of this on PC? I've primarily been a console gamer but I just got my hands on a 3080 TI graphics card and my pc should be done in a few days. I've played Skater XL on console extensively but am curious to which of these games is better with mods.
Right now, Skater XL is better on pc with mods. But they are two very different games in my opinion, I play both regularly.
What would you say they do differently? I like Skater XL's controls a fair bit in comparison to Skate but a lot of the vanilla levels are lackluster... too small, objects that are the wrong proportion to skate properly, etc. Also wish I could do stuff like wallrides and that.
Skater XL is definitely not as good IMO. Basically for the reasons you listed above, and also the controls in Session are much much more granular/customizable, you can customize how you rotate, how you flick, how you pop, how you catch... I haven't played session in a few months, and when I did they had just started adding manual tricks, and there was no balance mechanism in the manuals yet, so you just automatically manualled perfectly.
Aside from the controls, the levels in Session are a lot better, and the devs are better. The skaterXL people are kind of shady. I regret buying skaterXL on playstation, it's definitely still an early access game in how it feels/plays but they just made it 1.0 to get it into these console stores.
