I've been lurking here for years but I finally made an account to share this because I haven't seen it posted yet. A new skate game is coming to PC and it's getting an early access release on Steam December 19th. Made by the guys who made the Skater mobile app.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B4KMBhFIvOA
They had a little press release come out here too: https://variety.com/2018/gaming/news/skater-xl-steam-early-access-1203083983/ (https://variety.com/2018/gaming/news/skater-xl-steam-early-access-1203083983/)

I was about to post this! You know the funny thing is, I backed Session and hated it's controls but gave it another try this month and finally started to enjoy it, and now this game comes out. I was aware of this game too however but had no idea it would be out so soon and it looks great for early access! I'm excited :)
By the way I could have sworn Koston was attached to this project? Didn't they have a video with him before or was that another game?

different game! that was True Skate: Big Screen, which was supposed to be the console/pc version of the mobile app True Skate. Nothing ever came of that, at least there hasn't been any public updates on the development in the last like two years.
-
Shoulda had Jabari Pendleton do the Mo-Cap with a name like Skater XL
-
Any chance of this coming to ps4 at some point?

That's what I want to know! The game looks sick.
-
The animations and the way the character moves looks very reminiscent of the skate games to me.
-
what a terribly boring name.
-
Cool to see there are a lot of people working on skate games that are NEVER going to come out
-
The physics look like skate which isn't a bad thing

Looks like it´s coming. Definitely going to check that out even if it becomes an early access cash grab like a lot of games these days.
-
i'm stoked solely on how cool the 5-0 back 180 looked
-
chris roberts was giving a little commercial for this game on dan plunketts nine club at the very end. says it comes out in a few days?
-
it says december 19 on the steam page. i'm stoked

I trust Nightspeeds's take on the game. At least with this West LA courthouse level the studio knocked it out of the park.
-
Wow that actually looks like a really fun simulation. Looks like you can control how the tricks look really precisely.
-
I've been playing it for the last hour or so. Needs some work of course (still early access) but I'm liking it quite a bit. It's definitely better than Session(as it is now) imo. You can control how your tricks look more and it's also a lot smoother.

Its so sick looking. I think its just what we need.
-
I'm downloading the game right now and gonna play a bit tonight. Looks pretty good

XL? this dissing fat skaters?
-
it needs some work but I'm enjoying it so far!

^ are you using a capture card? I’m trying to get one, if so what are you using?
-
20$ for an alpha? Gonna wait 6 month to get on this if it gets better. The best part so far is for it to be a PC game.
-
Loving this so far, I dont care if it's 20 bucks for early access

I used OBS Studio which is free.Loving this so far, I dont care if it's 20 bucks for early access
Same, I'm having a lot of fun with it! I think it's worth the $20
-
Oh duh I’m an idiot and forgot that you were playing on pc. I’m assuming your other videos are from playing on computer?
Edit: if anyone has suggestions on a good capture card for consol play lmk
-
Is there a main menu or something??? I see your guy has customized grip tape.. when I launch the game it sends me straight to the la courthouse and that's it.
-
the fact that blunts and noseblunts look "bad" is a good thing in a way. it makes me hope that you can tweak how all of this look which is exciting.
BUT is it possible to get a good looking blunt ?

Skater XL is on PC, but for console I've been using my Elgato Game Capture HD for years already, and for it being an old model it still works well. I see they go for around $100 on Ebay unless you wanna buy the newer one for $150
-
I put a bunch of clips together...
https://youtu.be/2rYpRMfnoM4
-
bought it, think it's more fun than session. better controls, cleaner graphics and animations are a lil better. they are both promising, but xl a little more
-
All these games need to up the gravity or fall speed or something. I would like to play a game where the get on a ledge isn't always a guarantee, maybe you'd have to get the snap just right or something. Overall looks really cool though.

this game has sort of low popped tricks when you only use one analog stick to bend down, which will let you get just high enough for those knee high ledges, but not always when popped lazy. they are also useful to do wallies on jersey barriers.

You're also able to set the pop levels lower to make it more realistic.

looks fun. i hope they can improve on the push
-
The late player rotations kill the realism
-
game looks dope but definitely needs some tweaks. i can't stand how some of those grinds don't lock in properly
-

When I first saw clips I thought the character model looked kind of goofy and the tricks didn't look good. But I'm actually kind of blown away by how realistic and fun this game is when you get the hang of it.
Here's some clips of me messing around

-

It’s really fun! And it’s all physics based and no ledge magnetism so if you don’t line up/pop/tweak exactly right the grinds will look different. Kind of like in real life. Makes it challenging but super rewarding when you get a perfect lock in.
-
haven't tried it yet, but it looks so slow, like you're skating in space. some of the tricks look sick and some look awful. i'll probably get into it when it's out on consoles
-
People are modding the shit out of this game.. replay editor is coming along. S/O this dude PoppinSuds for making this:

spent an hour in photoshop trying to make some dunks in the game and they came out pretty decent, it would be pretty easy to change the colors on my template to make your own color dunks, just dm me and I'll send you my png. I tried to go for an early-mid 2000's skater with the 2002 supreme dunks and a mccrank girl board from 2004

Dang this looks fun. How much do one of them gaming PCs cost?

Buying this game was the final wake up call to order a GPU and stop lying to myself that an Intel HD 4600 is going to get you anywhere in life.

I think for playing this game a mid-range PC should be sufficient. Building one of these is possible with 500$-800$. You can look at some example builds following this link : https://pcpartpicker.com/guide/

Does anyone know if there’s console (specifically ps4) early access ?
Any info on console or is it pc only?

pc only
the rest is vague

Which version of session are you comparing xl to? The public demo or the more recent Kickstarter backer build?

made another edit if you guys liked the last one.
you can sub if you want but i'm just doing this for fun.
and I won't spam the boards anymore with this.
last time, promise.

skip to 35 seconds in to get to the skating.
went overboard with the intro.

man, I'm not sure why but the replay editor mod just doesn't work for me. for some reason it disables level mods and the whole mod menu.

you may need to uninstall the game and all mods, reinstall sxl, then start by putting in hondunes and the maps, then install the shred menu. i know its pretty specific order but i had the same problem, that way worked for me and everyone else thats had that issue.
-
holy crap, i need to start capturing gameplay. i just did this crazy bs smith on the lower part of the kinked hand rail to pop out over the second stair set.
i love this game.
-
Devs have gone AWOL apparently, but the modding community is CRANKING out a bunch of new stuff
-
i've been playing this a lot, i really like the controls. i get psyched when i do something perfectly. i'm still not very good but spent the last few minutes doing nosegrind nollie flip out all the way up the double set rail and switch flip manual switch bigflip out on the stage. just figured out how to switch stances so now i'm re-learning everything goofy, but i think i was better regular haha. really wish there was a multiplayer!

Decided to put something together after saving some clips...
https://youtu.be/Tntn5f0dSEA
-
Pardon me if this sounds dumb, dumb...
But if I add in maps, do I get a choice to alternate between the two or will I need to keep a backup of the file that's modded, then just revert to that if I want the OG Courthouse map? Gonna add in the replay editor and some other maps soon I reckon.

Damn, I haven't played video games in a while, but this actually looks pretty fun.
-
Just got this today and man it's soo much harder to play than what I expected. Although I do have a shitty computer so I have to put the graphics down to very low and resolution to 640x480 so it looks like a ps1 game and still lags about 0.5 seconds haha
Does anyone have any suggestions for some super simple modded maps that won't be too hard on the computer? just a room with a ledge would be fine ;D
-
just keep on trying. I had a hard time in the beginning too, but now I am on some PJ Ladd-shit.
it takes a while, but thats what makes it rewarding to me. start with simple grinds, and kicklips. like in real life

Couple hours in and it's starting to work out and it is really fun and rewarding! Found a super simple beta map too so now it's playable even though it's still ps1 level graphics ;D

If you have a console and your computer has a relatively modern cpu, sell the console and get a budget graphics card for a couple hundred bucks. You’ll be able to run most modern games on medium at the very least. Free online, cheaper games, and it’s also a workstation if you do editing and whatnot. If you game a fair amount, even a super budget pc is a great experience. Sorry I don’t have a rec for a map haha

I haven’t played this, but they are doing a contest for this game to like make a video part. They talked about it on the recent 9club experience around the 31 minute mark if anyone is into it.. hmmm nice bike?

I'm thinking about making an attempt at it, I already play the game a bunch anyways so this is a good excuse to record some more tricks. The only bummer is there's a 'no copyright' rule for the music you use.

I can’t get the replay editor mod to work with hondune map importer? Are you using it/ can you give me a link for the version you downloaded?
-
I honestly really hope the devs don’t just take the money and flunk the project with all the mods out at this point. Making video games is not easy, but isn’t that the whole point? In all honesty, most mods suck ass and I would wanna see more official content coming out soon. Otherwise, I can’t really justify paying more than 5 dollars for the game.

I think they will keep going. Mod's are cool but the real money in games is the console crowd. That's their biggest audience. Building a full game that can move units in the xbox and ps4 environment is what I think they are after. This whole pc early access seems like a marketing tool for the eventual real full release. I hope I'm right.

I installed it awhile ago so it must be an older version by now, perhaps you forgot to also install the shred menu? I made that mistake as well before but once I installed the shred menu the replay editor worked fine. https://github.com/DanielKIWI/SkaterXL-Modding

If they do, I reckon the mod community will just take it over. Doubt it though, this game is money in the bank when it hits consoles fully loaded. I'd kill to play this on PS4 with locked down frame rate & tonnes of real spots. Looking forward to them really nailing the flow & control too, just hope they're going to put time into putting life into the animations & movement. That's the true next generation of skating games, is a fluid & loose control of the skater that can flow in and out of tricks right. This and session still feel so rigid.
-
This is what I threw together for the contest. I doubt it's a winner but I still enjoyed putting it together. Would like to know your guy's thoughts on it, or even see what you guys came up with as well. Good luck to everyone who's giving it a try.

Liked the awkward hand touch on the philly gap to rail blunt
Really nice edit, I would maybe use a bit more fisheye and tighter filming to hide the stiffness
-
Had to do one myself too just to try out the replay editor. Tricks and filming suck and made a wack beat to go with it. enjoy

Fuck the modders have upped their spot game! I wonder if the XL dudes are just gonna buy them off em?

Holy crap that first person mode is dope! Never knew I needed that in a skate game. Hope the devs can make a polished version of that.

made an edit for the nine club contest

also i tried the first person mod today and its dizzying but very satisfying. if this could eventually become a polished game with native VR it would be the ultimate skateboarding simulator.

It’s real fun. Still in development too so it’s only going to get better.
Hopefully comes to consoles sooner than later.
-
has there been any announcements of updates or progress with development?

There's a multiplayer mod that was just released for the game. Animations for other players look weird but hopefully that'll be fixed soon. I still had fun trying it out though.

I was just about to share this here. I haven't owned a Nintendo console in decades but I'd consider getting a Switch solely for Skater XL. I play it all the time on PC and now to be able to play it on the go is a dream come true.
-
I really don't get how you are all so into this game.
-
I really don't get how you are all so into this game.
Fuck off
Also, I really don't get how they haven't fixed the pigeon toed pushing stance. It really bugs me.
-
If Skater XL hits Xbox One that’ll be a must-cop for me. I still play Skate 3 on pretty much a nightly basis and I’m sick of all the spots; I always just end up building skateparks on there and shit. Would be super refreshing to have some new spots, sound track, and new player customization options.
-
there has been major updates since all this guys... really worth checking out now.
-
So this isn't coming to PS4? Only Xbox and Switch?
I don't want to buy a console only for this game. My friend has a PS4 he says he can give me or at least let me borrow for a while because I still want to play Red Dead Redemption, GTAV and I really want to (re)play the Shadow of the Colossus remake and The Last Guardian.
Is there any reason to buy xbox other than to play Skater XL? I don't have a ton of time or money to play games, but it is something I like to do on rain days.

They just released this post on the playstation blog, so a ps4 launch is confirmed if it wasn't already:
https://blog.us.playstation.com/2020/03/03/skater-xl-is-a-new-take-on-skateboarding-games-coming-to-ps4/
-
Did they replace the New York map with the LA courthouse spot? The PlayStation article only said stuff about a west coast map. Kinda bummed if so. I’m still gonna buy it tho
“This creativity in reinventing real-world environments is a big part of skateboarding and the final release of Skater XL will contain several real-world locations based on iconic skate spots from California and the West Coast.”
-
session. is the one with the new york level. skater xl always had the courthouse since release and since last update that was what, half a year ago they have this one skatepark. session. has two indoor parks you can enter within the level or through the menu.
you can get custom levels modeled after new york for skater xl though afaik.
-
Really hope they'll have an open world map in the final release. Small maps and no getting off the board makes it feel like a mobile game.
-
Any insiders get hard dates of release for 2020? Specifically PS4....

Thanks so much! I was confused for a second.

i luv u
-
what are the controls like in comparison to session? I got session and its almost unplayable. the rotations seem so random just doing a noseslide feels impossible. Is it easier and less glitchy if I don't use the legacy controls?
-
I'm sold on Skater XL after seeing these night clips starting around 3:15.
Also, the nollie bs flip at 1:15 looks almost real.
I had heard people saying that Skater XL has a great filming feature, but I hadn't seen anyone use it well.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=wQyzIF9OPfY
-
Sessions night mode is great. Skater XL bores me a bit. Can’t wait for these games to grow a bit more
-
Haven't had a chance to play skater XL in a while and never tried session.
Skater XL seems to have gone through a lot of updates in animations which is good, they're always tweaking how tricks look.
Session still looks better graphics wise but they still haven't changed much in terms of what turns me off the games. Grinds still lock in all stiff and the pushing/trick animations still look stiff and ugly. Doesn't make me want to play it at all.
-
Any insiders get hard dates of release for 2020? Specifically PS4....
anyone?
I hope this gets released while I'm still "working from home" and can only spend about 1hour a day skating on the shitty asphalt/gravel driveway in the back of my apartment. Filling some time with simulated skating could help a lot with the boredom.
EDIT: July.

Wish I could still play skate 2
Stuck with 1 and 3 since they are the only ones backwards compatible with xbox1.
Like the look of session but honestly I’ll give both a shot
-
so hyped on this one. I played both games, but I stayed with Skater XL.
Will you be able to get off your board? will be there be different animations for every skater?

Session is really getting good, but neither have any real weight or speed to it. Until I can throw my weight into something, like a turn, carve, slappy, wallride, landings etc it's not really a skateboarding game, it's a trick game. Still fun, but I really want the weight to affect the game, as it's a huge part of skateboarding.

only reason my 360 is still around

Hopefully you can walk...
but them having Evan and Brandon is awesome. Can't wait. Haven't been psyched on a game since Skate 3, 10 years ago?
-
i hope they add more regular footed skaters :-\
-
Been playing this since it came out.
Game is fun. Huge learning curve but once you've figured it out you'll be playing for awhile.
This game also isn't graphically insane compared to Session. Control scheme is the same though. I've been playing SXL more cause of the mods. And your skater doesn't operate like a tank.
-

uhhhh...
is it just me or did the game look less fluid in that trailer than it has in the demo clips people have been posting?

While I’m far more excited for session, I was thinking about getting a switch on sale to take to work and I think skater xl was slated to release on it

Not just you! People have been tinkering with gravity, pop force, flip speed, leg movements, camera settings in the modded beta version to make stuff that looks hella good.. the official game is still running light gravity and very floaty gameplay.

Any frequent players here? I've been playing it a bunch again lately due to the lockdown. Apparently the multiplayer mod has made some decent progress in under a year since it's release. Now you can browse servers and the animations for other players don't look as terrible as before and you can make out what tricks they've done.
I followed some installation guide that was simple enough to follow.

i still play pretty often, that's great to hear about the multiplayer mod! i was just thinking earlier today how i needed to look into that, playing SKATE seems like it'd be a lot of fun.

There's even in-game chat, so yeah I've seen a few people playing SKATE in different maps.

What are the customizations like? I tend to create favorite pros over using myself.
Part of why I enjoyed Skate 3 was being able to create 4 people.
and also... do you only skate in LA or what?
-
finally installed the multiplayer mod, it works way better than i expected tbh. i'm playing this game way more now, haha. finally got around to modding my gear too, which is fun. i like how now i can just open a menu in game and change shit on the fly if i'm feeling like it.

the LA map will be for the release in june i'm pretty sure. right now the two "official" maps are the courthouse and some california skatepark (i'm sure it's a well known one? i feel like ive seen feedback_ts critique clips from it before) but the modding community is great and the devs have embraced it to the point where the mod map importer is built into the beta.

Same, had the default look for awhile until this week. Something else I've noticed is when in multiplayer the game actually displays what textures other players are wearing which is pretty neat. I joined a server yesterday and some guy's were arguing over sports team apparel.

Nice! It seems like July 7th is the release date.
Since quarantine started I've been playing the Steam early access version more and have really gotten accustomed to the controls. Still learning some nuances every day.
The mobile Skater game is also very good once you get used to the controls. Stoked for them on the upcoming release.
-
This dude is definitely the most fun to watch for me. He's a bit mellow (potentially boring for some) but the attention to detail in the skating and filming is awesome.

If session wasn’t so glitchy it’d bury this game.

I’d like to retract anything I may have said earlier.
A friend live-streamed his XL session and made me give the game another try. I installed go-to mods and literally cannot stop playing.

weird. there's definitely a learning curve, but i walked away with better impressions from my first playthrough with skater XL than with session. I'll have to give session another try. I think the barrier to entry for Skater XL is much more accommodating. And i think the stock animations on Skater XL are much easier on the eyes than Session.
what controller are you using? i noticed when i played with a Hori Switch Pro controller, the analog stick calibration was way off from what my regular xbox 360 controller does.

No Nike or Adidas is interesting! Psyched on Grimple (Evan) though. I see Dickies, Indy, Spitfire & Grimple, score.

To my knowledge session and skater xl will be purely sims. I know session has trick goals you can complete but no story to move forward
-
There's a new update to skaterXL, you can do pop-outs (more like nudges) out of grinds which also lets you roll into transition. They also updated switch and fakie animations so you don't look backwards anymore.
Base game still has floaty physics and not all the animations are smooth yet but I'm happy with what the devs are focusing on fixing up and adding.

Seems like we'll finally have agame with transition / coping mechanics that looks good and realistic
EA Skate was terrible at this

Ive played the early access for about 20 hours or so and I love it. Much more difficult than skate but very satisfying to land stuff and you can be much more nuanced with how you flip your tricks
Basically you have one stick to pop/scoop one leg and another stick to flick. You can kinda turn with the sticks but you mostly turn (and rotate your body) with the triggers. Grinds are similar compared to skate there’s just the added complexity of using two sticks to lean/position your grinds instead of one.
Turning with the triggers had me skeptical but it actually works out pretty well overall. It’s a more evolved, more difficult control scheme but once your unlearn your muscle memory from playing skate you start to appreciate the amount of control you have

Sounds great to me. Can't wait to be filming realistic profiles like I used to back in all three parts of EA skate.
Still deciding if I should get it on PS4 of Switch though.
-
new update is pretty good. i switched back from session since i got a bit bored by it and it's cool to skate the miniramp and learn backlips on it. controls have been tweaked a bit since the last time i played and i still think manuals still look and feel worse than in session imo but it's fun and looks promising for the full release.
-
What is the create a skater like in terms of appearance customisation? Ie can I create Male and female skaters and customise their look and outfits?

not yet, hope that you can in the full release though. it's just the default skater with a few colors for hoodies, pants and shoes to choose as for the beta.

You can in the full release on July 7th. For the current beta it's just a couple clothing options unless you wanna mess with PC mods, where you can do just about anything, but takes work to get set up.

Thanks a lot for the response and vid. I’m console / handheld only so I’ll just be playing the PS4 full release.
At least that vid showed one female character although she was dressed rather generically. I’m hoping there are decent options for customisation all around and not just different logos on a handful of hoodies.

Indeed looking rough. Whoever's playing doesn't do too great of a job making it look interesting either. Bummed that the initial Switch trailer must have been from the PC build. I'll definitely get it though since it'll still be the best handheld skate game (i hope?)

I preordered. Really like the new school map, and I have a feeling that there will be several more updates to fine-tune the gameplay.
Only thing that I think Session has on it is impossibles. Would also love to see no-comply's and boneless' and other street plants.

I've been playing it for the last hour or so. Needs some work of course (still early access) but I'm liking it quite a bit. It's definitely better than Session(as it is now) imo. You can control how your tricks look more and it's also a lot smoother.
Can you pick up your board and walk around
Or is it like Skate 1?

not yet, think this will evt be in the full release. you can do that in session though.
i've been coming back to skater xl after playing a ton of session. i have like 150 hours in each game and that is just from playing in 15-20 min bursts. i play these games while waiting for dinner to be done or something like that.
i can't even decide which one i like more. i can't play both at the same time though, fucks up my muscle memory. i need to adjust to the controls everytime i switch. just steering/turning sucks in both games though, which is a shame. i'd also like some force feedback from different grounds and grinds and slides.

What all these skate game’s should have as an option is skate controls or their own controls.
As far as the new controls it seems very robotic and nonlinear when in comparison to skate controls the turning part bums me out.

I dont think you need the mod manager anymore if you switch to the beta version of the game. I could be misunderstanding. But when I switched and got the skater customizer, map selector and all that and didnt need the mod manager anymore.

It looks good but i like the game play of session much much more. in skater xl the board is pretty much glued to your feet unrealistically when you should fall and i can't stand it. It's also pretty easy and not as rewarding as landing tricks in session.
I've always been a game play over graphics type guy though.

Kind of, although I only played for about 40 minutes on my lunch break. It is incredibly fun to try to remember that it isnt Skate and instead a totally different set of controls.
The one thing that is annoying is every time you fall you are placed back to wherever your session marker is.
-
What was kicking my ass at first was that you don’t have to flick the right stick up (regular foot) to do an Ollie. You just hold the stick down and let go and it will do an Ollie.
-

I never realized that I pulled the stick down slightly off center until this game. I was doing wild shuvs more than ollies until I consciously adjusted the way I pulled back on the right stick. Its also kind of tough that even when skating switch you have to point the left stick up, instead of back as if you were skating regular. I had a really tough time figuring out grinds. I cant wait to get back to it.
-
This game is quite fun so far. Hard as fuck but I like the challenge, reminds me of when Skate first came out. Looks pretty floaty but doesnt feel as floaty while playing. 360 spins look awkward as hell right now.
Soundtrack has a good amount songs from classic skate parts, got me feeling nostalgic. Love the 411vm gear too.

Just picked up a copy from best buy. Can't wait to try it out. This is the first game I've bought since the last red dead came out.

No, you can just kinda 'bump' out by clicking in the stick of the side you want to pop out on. Feels super cool.

Not being able to get off your board and walk around kind of sucks. I hope that can be updated.

How the hell is the ghost getting so much speed with such little run up on these challenges?

I still feel like the stick sensitivity is a little too high. Oddly enough it’s too low when it come to starting a manual.

Doesn't bother me at all. You can zip around pretty quick with the spot marker, so running around would just be superfluous.
As people have said, grinding is the hardest part. I can't quite figure out how to crook consistently, and blunts/ noseblunts are stupid hard. I got a sketchy front noseblunt on a handrail, but they're definitely a work in progress.
Wallrides are not a thing at this point, I guess.
Saw Jamal Smith doing some cool stalls on transition in his stream. Next session I'm gonna figure out how that works. My passing attempts at transition stuff have been feeble so far.
It'd be cool if there was more songs, and if you could change the track.
-
Can you upload your own music to it like EA Skate? So you don’t have to listen to whatever crap they have on it?
I don’t think you can (PS4) and you can’t skip songs or choose/negate any playlist. And scratch what I said about the soundtrack earlier, after a couple hours of gameplay I had to mute the music in the settings. Need some Muska Beats.
I still feel like the stick sensitivity is a little too high. Oddly enough it’s too low when it come to starting a manual.
Agreed. You gotta dip halfway down to start the manual, and once your in it’s locked as you can’t possibly scrape. Not trying to compare, but I loved the balance gradient in EA.Skate manuals.
Really wish you could wallride and slappy, I know there are mods for PC but it’d be nice to see it on console. Also would like to see more community maps on console. Also hats make you bald unless you’re Tom Asta, and the baggiest pants in the game are exclusive to Tiago. T-Shirt sleeves are cut pretty high, and there are only 4 skin tones, why not just include a skin tone gradient? My last grievance is that you cant 360 on flat, the spin mechanism starts hella slow.
Pickiness aside, this game is hella fun.
edit: Wish you could no comply, boneless, and early grab. Feel like it’d be a super easy addition to the game, control wise.
-
Really not feeling the controls, especially having to use the trigger buttons to turn. I have to unlearn everything I learned in Skate, which I mastered.
Rest seems fine, but I have a feeling this game is going to test my patience.

This shit sucks compared to Session... Really wish there was a demo or something I could of played before purchasing it... The fakie and switch make no sense.

My biggest annoyance is shuvs weirdly enough. When I want to do 180 I do 360. When I wanna do 360 i do 180. Haven’t really worked out the flick to get the one I want.
Digging the maps. Downtown does feel pretty empty though. Allot of empty space.
-
^ same.
for one of the challenges i had to do a varial flip BS 5-0 and i keep doing a laser flip.
-
Got it first thing this morning, put like an hour in before work and I’m figuring it out pretty decent but FUCK grinds are hard to hold. I thought I liked Session more but the more I’ve been playing XL the more I’m liking it.
-
Just played it for a while at a friend's house. The spots look great but the skating/motion isn't so hot. Not feeling the controls at all.
I'm just gonna wait for SKATE 4 cause' I don't even own a console anyway. Based off my experience tonight I'd say even SKATE 3 is still superior to this.
-
This game is quite fun so far. Hard as fuck but I like the challenge, reminds me of when Skate first came out. Looks pretty floaty but doesnt feel as floaty while playing. 360 spins look awkward as hell right now.
Soundtrack has a good amount songs from classic skate parts, got me feeling nostalgic. Love the 411vm gear too.
Had to go back and watch Janoskis Transworld part because of the soundtrack.
-
For those who don’t know already- to revert you have to either point the two analog sticks toward each other or opposite one another and hold R2 or L2 (ps4) depending on which way you want to revert.
Surprised they didn’t teach that in the tutorial since I find that pretty essential in a skateboard video game.
-
Wow this game is challenging for sure. I spent a couple hours today trying to figure it out and just barely got the hang of basic flip tricks. I'm loving it so far. Can't wait to see a clips thread on here
-
This game is fucking amazing. You have to really work your ass off to get a decent trick but it's all possible to do almost anything in a good looking way. I played skate 3 religiously but the tricks always looked the same. I did 10 different switch lipslides on the Jkwon handrail and they all had different and realistic styles to them. Feels like relearning Skate all over again but 1000x harder, easy to lose your mind trying shit
-
Kinda getting used to the controls, had some pretty good tricks this morning. My back smiths and nollie crooks are looking real good.
Still... having to use the trigger buttons to turn pisses me off.
Also I wish the create-a-skater was more detailed.
I feel like this is a work in progress and patches will be available in the future.
I like it more than I did yesterday.
-
Picking this up after work, pretty excited.
-
Played for a couple hours last night and thought it was amazing only complaint is the tutorial doesn’t let you switch to goofy.
I did some crazy ass tony hawk pro skater tricks that I’ve never done in skate3 ...I did a fucking double 360 hardflip with tiago !?!? I laughed for a min

This is the biggest adjustment for me as well though it does seem like the only decent option given the control scheme of each stick being a foot

Picked it up as well. Might as well throw some money at those developers that spend so much time making this game. But it's very much a sim game. On one side, you have THPS and what used to be the other side would be SKATE. Now Skate XL just sent the bench mark on how sim you can get. Performing tricks and doing stuff just take so much time (for now) but even like SKATE, I am sure everyone is going to get the flow of things.

Really? I only played for a bit but I'd say Skate 3's skating was more realistic, hands down. This one has you clearing Wallenberg with 2 lazy pushes while you do a 720 double hardflip.
That being said - the 3 of us only played for an hour and not one of us did a simple, clean ollie. Hard to make a final call on anything without getting comfortable with the controls.
-
Are you telling me that you don't have your 720 double hardflips on lock in real life?

I've been playing Skater XL since it's launch on Steam, it was frustrating for about the first week or two but afterwards it became easy. It just requires a little patience at first. All the amazing edits players have put out really showcase what's possible once you get a hang of the controls.
I prefer Skater XL over Session but I'm glad I supported and own both games because having to wait an entire decade for a big company like EA to announce a new Skate game is ridiculous.

It’s arguably more realistic that it lets you try any trick rather than confine you to 180/360 rotations. I do wish Wallenburg was a lil more challenging though.

Yoo I did a 1080 shove it on the mega ramp ...shit was too much lolz
For music I just play Spotify playlists and turn the music off in the game

I'm not following you there... what do you mean confining to 180/360 rotations?

This game is dope. I only played it for about 30 mins as I drank my coffee this morning, but I definitely had a real "oh shit" moment when I realized that you can shift the the position of your front foot on the board to do a "high" ollie. That made me kinda get the whole thing right then an there.
Out of boredom I read a few reviews people posted online on google or whatever and a lot of people are complaining that there's no story, or challenges, or tasks, or all that other shit. Or that the menus are too bare bones. Or that there's not enough gear to customize the skaters. Or that the world isn't "alive" because there's no cars or pedestrians or other bullshit.
Who cares about all of that?
I'm so fucking glad I don't need to listen to Reda's stupid commentary all the time.
I'm glad I don't have to race down a stupid ditch. Or do ridiculous hall of meat challenges.
I'm glad I don't get hit by a car when I try a trick or some stupid idiotic NPC is in the way of a ledge I want to get to.
Tony Hawk and Skate have all the big name skaters and brands. Who cares, it's not important. These guys got what they could for gear, and I like the 4 skaters in this game a lot. Tiago and Westgate are 2 of my favorites of all time, and I hope they get paid for this. And those other 2 guys are pretty good too.
This game reminds me of Minecraft, y'know, the most popular video game (maybe) of all time, ever heard of it? There's no menu, no tutorial, the game just starts and doesn't tell you what to do. And it's super fun. Use your fucking brain, what a concept.
The game I just finished before I got this was GTA V, and you know what?, that game sucks. It cost $140 million to make all those "cool" menus. And to make every single one of the 600+ vehicles customizable. The story is boring. The voice acting is pretty good, I'll give it that, but it's not really important to the game play. And it takes forever to play the fucking thing. If I never play a game that takes me 30+ hours to play through again, I'll be happy.
Granted, just before that, I played Horizon Zero Dawn for 80+ hours and loved every minute of it, but that's because the game was fun.
Skater XL is fun. "Here's a skateboard, use your brain and figure it out". That's cool.
I haven't bought a game on launch day since maybe Final Fantasy VII, the original playstation version, but I knew I had to get this right away.
And I hope the developers get a lot of people buying this game. To make anything independent of big bullshit companies these days is difficult, and I gotta say, these guys must love skateboarding and must be pretty fucking smart to make a video game, so, yeah, sure I'll give them $40, no problem.
I have a feeling they'll add more in time, but even if they don't, fine. Maybe they'll all move onto bigger and better things after, and good for them.
Great independent game, this is what skating is about, DIY, fucking love it.

I’m the same everytime I replay skate 3 I’m irritated by getting hit by cars and people in the way of ledges...I also didn’t enjoy gta5. I waited till the game was 60% off before I got it. Only game I bought on launch and finished it on platinum status was that New spider man ...it’s what a immersive game feels like to me

Maybe rotation was the wrong word, as you can spin however many times you want in Skate.
But a shuv for example, in Skate you can only do a shuv or a 360 shuv, which is limiting. Not that you see people flinging 540 flips irl too often (probably because it’s ugly), but it is more than possible.
-
I got it yesterday and have put about 3 hours in since. Flip tricks are great, and are making more and more sense to me.
I don't know if it's because I was so used to Skate 3, and tried doing everything Mach 3 all the time, but the grinds are really giving me the business as others have noted. Enjoying it so far save for the limited music, and lack of Wallrides and no complies. The team behind it seems super passionate about skating so I think we'll get more.
It does suck though that I feel like a lot of brands blackballed this game. I'd love more customization options.

The big difference between Skate 3 and Skater XL is that the Skate series tricks were all preprogrammed and you just used the controller to activate them where Skater XL is actually physics based and you're simply controlling the feet and manipulating the board. On paper that might not sound like much of a difference but it gives you much greater control on how you manipulate the board and is more realistic, even though maybe the speed/gap clearance settings aren't.
-
Played it for a couple of hours, and it's great if you get the hang of it. Hardest part is unlearning steering with the left stick.
It does feel pretty empty tho. Would have liked some pedestrians of at least have the challenge trick locations visualized/marked in free skate, just so there's some movement.
Also, whoever came up with the skate 40,000 kilometer trophy can take a mean shinner. Those aren't even funny in racing games.

I would assume. It's apples and oranges when you compare an indie developers foray into the genre, vs something like NBA 2K or Live, where they both have deals with Nike, Adidas, etc.

This game is so far from being a full priced product on a console. I bought the demo on the PC, and i'm really enjoying it but I think it's dogshit to put it on console now, and might bite them in the ass as if i'm playing this on my Playstation & dont give a shit about being part of an alpha build, I dont want this half assed empty world with questionable physics & a general unfinished vibe.
That said, i'm enjoying the new parks & the best fun is still just fucking around on a ledge, which is great. Pretty crazy how many grind splines they left out of the game though. Can't grind curbs, slappies are still a hack job and barely work on anything. Pretty surprised the gameplay hasn't advanced at all since the beta to the 1.0, and doesn't really fill me with confidence.
And when i'm loading up to ollie I still do a weird half pop shuvit more times than i'd care to admit. After 30 hours you'd think id have learnt how to keep my sticks straight.
-
I'd love more customization options.
Just give me baggy pants and i'll be happy.

Don't have my own ps4 so I bought it 'for' my girlfriends little brother who is 18 and new to skating. Everytime he gets to play alone I come back and my dude has been transformed into a damn soundcloud rapper. Why did they include so many sweatpants and graphic grip options? Its gross.
Gameplay wise, I got the hang of it quick after doing challenges. Pretty bummed on the lack of diversity, its really just a collection of handrails. Annoying you cant really do grind trick grind combos. The transition doesnt work at all especially cause you are forced to do a trick out of any coping trick. The board flipping is too much, the kid keeps being like 'look what i did!' and it'll be a 540 inward heelflip 5050 nollie 360 hardflip out. I now am longing for an update and or the new skate game.

id kill for skater xl to have a mod where the arms perpetually stay by the skaters side thus makig every trick g as fuck
-
Picked it up last night. Put in about 2 hours, woke up early today to get some in before work. Pretty addictive and challenging. Got a couple of clips I was psyched on but still have a lot to learn and a long way to go.
-
If you guys haven't already done them I highly recommend doing the challenges, did them last night and it taught me a ton of shit that the tutorial doesn't, mostly how to do 'high ollies' and how you can use that any time you pop into any trick from any stance.
-
I’ve got a few hours in on it now. So far the grinds are hard as fuck. Like I think I figure crooks out and it’s a willy or losi. Smiths and feebles are just by chance. It seems. Even a 50/50 is hard. Definitely need a grind tutorial.
But I’m having a lot of fun. It’s been fun finding spots and making a trick look good at the spot. Flip tricks aren’t as hard as I expected them. I still steer with the left stick. The super Ollie thing is kinda cool just wish it didn’t make stuff look so floaty.
I don’t understand how to trim and edit clips. I found the buttons that say trim etc but when I do I still have the entire video.
It kinda is a bummer you don’t have to hold manuals and grinds once your in you don’t have to balance. I ollied off this huge thing on the la map and it landed fine I was expecting there to be like impact like skate where you may wreck or speed has to be on point to carry out the land. It kinda makes doing gnar shit not gnarly. Cause you’ll land that big Ollie and look floaty all the way down. Big rails? No need to balance. Ollie over the staples hubba no problem. I wish there was an option to turn gravity up a bit. Like Make the staples hubba harder. Make landing a big drop work like speed and landing straight important or something. Because it’s a dope sim then goes full on tony hawk with anything gnar. So tech stuff is the only thing that’s kinda difficult. I mean game is fun I just wished it made drops slightly hard like in skate. Also if I fall off my board let me just start where I fell instead of teleporting to the marker. I marked it for a reason if I wanna go back I’ll hit the up button
But respect to skate xl for making a game when EA didn’t do shit for a decade aside ignore fans.
I also like just cruising around skating shit it’s what I did in skate it’s just more difficult now which is cool.

already stacking clips (https://www.thecoli.com/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/banderas.png). Shit the hardest thing for me is learning the camera angles in the replay editor(https://www.thecoli.com/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/heh.png)

Is there any way to change the default skate view besides just changing to the other shoulder? Would really prefer a zoomed-out and higher view point angle

I’ve got a few hours in on it now. So far the grinds are hard as fuck. Like I think I figure crooks out and it’s a willy or losi. Smiths and feebles are just by chance. It seems. Even a 50/50 is hard. Definitely need a grind tutorial.
But I’m having a lot of fun. It’s been fun finding spots and making a trick look good at the spot. Flip tricks aren’t as hard as I expected them. I still steer with the left stick. The super Ollie thing is kinda cool just wish it didn’t make stuff look so floaty.
I don’t understand how to trim and edit clips. I found the buttons that say trim etc but when I do I still have the entire video.
It kinda is a bummer you don’t have to hold manuals and grinds once your in you don’t have to balance. I ollied off this huge thing on the la map and it landed fine I was expecting there to be like impact like skate where you may wreck or speed has to be on point to carry out the land. It kinda makes doing gnar shit not gnarly. Cause you’ll land that big Ollie and look floaty all the way down. Big rails? No need to balance. Ollie over the staples hubba no problem. I wish there was an option to turn gravity up a bit. Like Make the staples hubba harder. Make landing a big drop work like speed and landing straight important or something. Because it’s a dope sim then goes full on tony hawk with anything gnar. So tech stuff is the only thing that’s kinda difficult. I mean game is fun I just wished it made drops slightly hard like in skate. Also if I fall off my board let me just start where I fell instead of teleporting to the marker. I marked it for a reason if I wanna go back I’ll hit the up button
But respect to skate xl for making a game when EA didn’t do shit for a decade aside ignore fans.
I also like just cruising around skating shit it’s what I did in skate it’s just more difficult now which is cool.
It's not a tutorial per-se but there's grind challenges that show then challenge you how to do specific grinds on certain objects
-
Picked it up yesterday. I feel like they still have some polishing to do that'll hopefully come with some updates but I'm having a good time. It's pretty hard but if you played Session then the controls sorta translate.
I hope this doesn't get flagged for the background music but I filmed a couple lines at a ledge in the first level.

Doing basic ledge trick lines feels so good when done properly. The BS nosegrind pop outs (click joystick) are so damn clean. Try a front shuv back nosegrind pop out and tell me you dont like this game. If you dont like this game you either have no patience or just suck at it tbh.

After spending significant time playing this, I'm satisfied with my purchase. I came in with low exceptions, knowing this is a game made by a small studio, and I think Easy Day did a decent job. It's frustrating at times (but then again so is skateboarding in real life), the graphics are kinda PS3-ish, the soundtrack gets old fast to the point where you just mute it, the customization sucks, I can't flip the spitfire wheels graphics in, etc, but the controls are so much deeper than any skateboarding game before it. It truly is the most hardcore skateboard sim to date, so much that it's going to turn away the casual skateboard fan, but luckily they have THPS 1+2 for that. The game is hard, but rewarding. It feels like those Beagle tapes videos seeing guys like Reynolds or Bryan Herman struggling with a trick for hours until they finally get that one make.
I waited 10 years for a skateboarding game after Skate 3, and this will hold me over until Skate 4, which I'm sure is at least 3 years away.
-
^^^ your review sums up my experience perfectly. Hope they continue to develop and smooth things out and offer more maps too.

Yeah this game is the most difficult and infuriating game I’ve played in years. Excited to get it down eventually.

I know alot of Pals won't care but can it matters quite a bit to me.
Can anyone who has bfiddled with the character creator tell me about the female skater options specifically?
I mean in terms of body / face / hair as well as clothing selections?
I'm still not sure I've seen any other female characters other than the blue jeans white t-shirt girl model in the recent-ish trailer.

ill check after my class today but I would imagine it is as limited on console as the male character is. 4 skin tones, generic hair options in 3 colors, hats all have one fit and can only be worn forwards, etc.
-
I played with it last night. Trying to make a character for my girlfriend.
There’s less options for tops but there’s a decent amount.
Skin tones are the same.
Less hair options but the hair stays if you put a hat over it unlike the men who go bald when you put a cap on them.
Pants are where it’s really lacking. They’re all tight and only like 3-4 colors. My girlfriend doesn’t wear tight clothes so she will not be happy.

I think this game is super fun. Learning the controls makes me feel like I'm learning to write with my non-dominant hand, and while it's infuriating, I keep coming back to it because I know that I can do it. After playing it for a couple hours, coming back the next day feels exponentially easier. It just takes time for the muscle memory to set in, then it gets really fun. The clip editing is wonky at first but once you understand how the keyframes work, it makes things much more manageable. My brother in law and I have been filming our TV's, sending each other clips at random times throughout the day, it's been fun and will take the place of the much needed multiplayer for now....

Found the leap of faith. That was pretty cool. Is there a hubba hideout anywhere? There needs to be an SF map. Hillbombs house spots EMB hubba hideout pier 7 etc.

Day two. The learning curve from skate 3 to this has been gnarly. I keep trying to control my tricks and turning from the joysticks.

Thanks to you all that addressed my question.
If a game offers character customisation I always hope for variety, but it's not a deal breaker.
I'll be playing on PS4 if anything but the more I'm hearing about the game and mods is making me wish I had a gaming rig.

Yeah these were 3 popular community made maps that they announced to be packaged into the game. If you're on PC you can easily download user made maps to play. Hope they figure a way to bring this to console soon.
Loving the game. Been playing the early access for awhile so this official release just feels like more of the same but now they brought the pros, official maps and some music tracks.
Double dipped and bought it for PS4 ($33 on Amazon and Walmart today). Don't usually buy games at launch but if I'm gonna support some devs it should definitely be these guys. According to Steam I've sunk more than 100hrs into the game and will easily sink hundreds more. Can't wait for a portable Switch release. Expecting it to be of lower quality but will be sick to play it anywhere anytime.
Looks like the reviews have come in and they are middling. Hope that doesn't hurt them too much. It's kind of sick to hear in reviews people's experiences struggling with the controls, then slowly progressing in the same spirit as real skating. Sounds like people are "getting" it which is a success in my book. Too bad they're lacking the content for higher review scores.
Has anyone played the phone game Skater? They had a good mechanic where you can save your lines and upload them as challenges (similar to the built in challenges/tutorials they built into this game). For the mobile game, playing challenges was required to unlock more maps which helped get a better feel for the game. And creating challenges was a good way for showing off and creating content for others. Really hope they build that into this game at some point.

Sick edits. Did you guys know you can get a faster spin by prewinding? While you're crouched down for a high pop using both sticks just hold down one of the rotation triggers and they'll wind up. Let's you spin faster and has a different animation.
-
Are you guys doing the challenges? It really helps learn the tricks but I’m goofy so only being able to do them regular is frustrating seeing as the controls are reversed. Most of them are fairly easy but the 540 mute grab one is impossible. Anyone do it?

I gave up on the tutorial for that reason it throws me off learning the game regular footed and then playing goofy.

Try prewinding your spin. With both sticks down hold down the trigger for spinning. You'll see your skater wind up. That will make you spin faster. If you still need more rotation learn how to revert the landing.

I’ll try it thanks. That doesn’t just make you turn though? I’m not too coordinated with video games anymore because old and this game is really tough. You have to be doing different things with both joysticks plus both top buttons at the same time, it’s a lot but again, old...

I think you'll still turn with only one stick down. But when you have both sticks down for a high pop and hold the trigger, they'll wind up for a faster spin. You'll get used to it over time when muscle memory starts kicking in. Awkward at first for sure. Took me a while to spin using triggers. EA skate didn't do that at all. It's to play EA skate after playing XL for a long time.

I almost broke down today and said fuck this and just plugged in skate but held strong. I don’t want to ruin my muscle memory progress so far. I will say it is VERY satisfying landing a trick perfect and with style in this game, it just takes as long as actually doing it on a skateboard in real life

Finally completed all the challenges. Some of them shits made me want to rip my hair out. If I never have to do a double flip again it will be too soon. Billy Marks must have came up with some of those challenges.

Agreed having to do a 720 shove it is whack but they’re probably just trying to get the younger market in for revenue. If that leads to income which makes the game getting better with updates i’ll let it slide

Guys this is important and i can't stress this enough.
Learn the advanced way to do each trick, if your goofie and you just flick down and right to do a kickflip it's not going to look realistic as the board just sucks to the feet without a real catch. If you want a realistic kickflip you need to flick down then bottom right, then instantly hold the rs top right while holding the left stick down Then click Ls in to catch the board at the right moment.
If you do this the board will bone itself out so that it actually hits the catching foot instead of sucking to your feet. holding ls down isn't needed BUT if you don't do it your foot will morph through the board.
Now that's just kickflips, every trick has as advanced way you can do it to reach 100% realism, i'm not your dad though so figure the rest out on your own and BTW 99% of people's clips look unrealistic because they aren't doing this stuff. If you want props from me you better find out how to do this shit proper. Especially you little cum bags that hate on Nyjah for having no style, every one of you who doesn't do the tricks the advanced way are NYJAH.

Tried playing it, I really just don’t care to learn new controls. I played the session demo the other night and I honestly prefer it to XL. It has legacy (ea skate) controls and the map is nyc. I kind of wish session got more funding and was the main skateboarding game coming out.

On the Easy Day High map there's a road on the left side of the map, at the end of the road turn right and there should be a long handrail with a "Go Tigers" banner above it, Leap Of Faith is in that same area opposite of the handrail.

Decided to buy it expecting barebones exp with a deep trick / style / gameplay system and have gotten exactly what I expect. Slightly dissatisfied with the character customisation- literally 3 pairs of jeans in the same style and the exact same fit T-Shirt with different logos, no variation.
I'm glad I supported this studio by paying full welly and I really hope there is more coming to console with updates because the mechanics of this game are fantastic. You can tell these guys are skaters or at least have huge input from skaters because at its core it allows for unique ways of doing tricks.
A particular moment of joy came when doing two different styles of fakie tre on flat - one with back foot catch but no yo'd out, the second with my skater seeming to jump higher, tucking her feet to allow the board to rotate more vertically, caught differently to the first.
It's SO much fun nailing tricks in varying styles.
I just hope it gets expanded over time with maps (as a minimum) and additional features on console.
If you're a skateboarder you'll probably get as much joy as I have from it because no other skating game has really done what this is doing. I could see people perfecting specific pros style and recreating video parts like we did with skate, but the tricks actually resembling the skater in question.
Quick fire thoughts-
- I played skate 3 for two hours before playing this. This was both advantageous and a detriment.
- Loading to your marker is instantly done, unlike Skate 3 on PS3. This feels so much better.
- I didn't notice two hours going past while first playing.
-The style aspect is just delightful. Catching a fake flip with the back foot hanging off and skater looking distinctly fakie.
- Day one patch on PS4 is nearly as big as the game (just shy of 8GB compared to +11GB)
- I could have printed better quality box art.
-OST has some skate vid tracks - Stefan from Subtleties, JJ Mindfield

Pro Tip: do the challenges first. it gives you a better handle on which sticks to use and when.
(anyone complaining about the physics being too floaty are using both sticks to ollie instead of one)

The challenges especially helped with ledge/rail tricks.
Though I dunno if anyone else has had this experience, but a lot of the advanced challenges feel WAY too picky. I did one where a line ends with a front blunt 270 out on a flatbar and I did it BETTER than the demo clip but they didn't count it. I heard for certain tricks that they only count it if you actually revert but the one that was a "success" was done the same way just slightly under rotated lol.

I'm goofy foot so I haven't touched those whack ass challenges (https://www.thecoli.com/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/mjlol.png)
Best way to learn is to watch youtubers and PRACTICE. Also, it's easy to flick your tricks timing the same pace you do in skate. DON'T do that. if you want crispy Tre's, hardflips, etc. get used to scooping one stick at a certain speed and flicking with another. Remember there are no canned animations but once you get the muscle memory down, you can pretty much just LOOK at your board and intuitively control it.
If you wanna reverts, powerslides, or just any kind of 90 degree twist, point your sticks <--> or -><-. Use the triggers to spin with it. You can do smiths and feebles this way too if you figure out the little nuances tweaks and approach towards the rail/ledge
Blunts/Noseblunts are done by approaching at the correct angle/trajectory, ollie, turn about 90 degrees, the point both sticks down or up depending on stance/trick

If you want to tweak into noseblunts, you can also angle the powerslide up or down and tweak without using triggers.

Looked up edits on youtube and this was one of the first ones that came up. The dude has some fisheye mod that makes it look a lot better, but he also seems to be good at making it look fairly realistic.

wow! this is how i aim to play the game which basically makes it a never ending challenge. but his looks so realistic! its so hard to keep away from that floaty look even without the high pop

Pro Tip: do the challenges first. it gives you a better handle on which sticks to use and when.
(anyone complaining about the physics being too floaty are using both sticks to ollie instead of one)
The challenges especially helped with ledge/rail tricks.
Though I dunno if anyone else has had this experience, but a lot of the advanced challenges feel WAY too picky. I did one where a line ends with a front blunt 270 out on a flatbar and I did it BETTER than the demo clip but they didn't count it. I heard for certain tricks that they only count it if you actually revert but the one that was a "success" was done the same way just slightly under rotated lol.
For my weekend I Knocked out half the challenges. Can get the skater to do most of what I want kind of dope getting kickflip back tails on lock

Mods on pc. You can pretty much have any gear you want.

Got it on PC, game is dope when you dwell into all the different mods and custom gear. You can also easily make your own gear using blank gear templates and using paint/photoshop. Smith grinds be looking a little awkward though.

The developers have been very good at integrating mod content (they even included three modder maps in the console version) so I believe they will add more features from pc. I hope you guys get to adjust stats because the game is on another level with custom physics and manual catch. Much more rewarding.

About 2 hours in and I actually like this a lot better than Session. It just feels a lot better to land tricks and the maps we get straight from launch on Xbox are better than Session's. And the gameplay is a lot more solid. I know it's kinda unfair to compare them being Session is on like version 0.0.5? I think. And SXL is on build 1.0 if I'm not mistaken. And the filming is easily the best out of any skateboarding game. It's probably the most fun part of the game for me right now.
Just found out you can also do anti flips so that's pretty fucking cool.

Yea I dunno about sessions but I definitely like the controls better and the fact that the consol levels are small is nice because you think more like a skater finding dope lines in cramp areas

session def felt more true to skating at first...until i discovered all the little ways you can make your tricks look personalized in SXL. The whole vibe and image is definitely cooler in session tho. Pluse my local shop no comply is featured in session which is pretty cool.

The lack of canned animations are what I think makes it special. Session just looks so stiff and there's no real style to the skating. I haven't played it since it was in super early release though. The maps look great, but it's just so stiff and lacks the fluidity of skater xl.

I wish you could change the controls around on console. Session lets you change so much, down to the orientation of your flick direction for flipping out of tricks. Manual catch is just essential tbh. I spend more time in XL trying to land a trick in the right way, as opposed to at all. It's a cool diversion, but I feel like Session's gonna go beyond skater xl gameplay-wise. XL feels really good though, like playing skate 1 for the first time again

great game, beats doing dishes any day but a but wonky on the physics. needs a flippity switch for more realistic gravity and pop-outs pronto, they keep boasting the physicist dev guy but he must have been asleep for some of the tweaks they made.

this is very true also. it's very forgiving with the landing and catching but it would be very frustrating for new players otherwise, i can see why they've gone this direction but it would have been nice to make it an option, kinda like difficulty settings idk

This. In XL, a switch flip is the same input as a nollie flip, just rolling switch instead. I prefer this scheme. Session is promising, but as of right now, there is only one way to make a trick look. I agree that manual catch is the way to go. That's how I play my modded SXL. Hopefully the devs smell the coffee and implement the option in the console version.
-
I think people woulda have just preferred that switch was like Skate, where the inputs are exactly the same just the sticks are switched, but the way the sticks are switched and inverted in Skater XL accurately recreates the awkwardness of skating switch.
When I first tried skating switch IRL I felt like a baby giraffe trying to walk for the first time. In Skater XL, I had that similar feeling when I was trying to string a line together switch.

It took me forever to do some of the challenges at the courthouse because I missed the subtleties in tapping L2/ R2 to decide the direction you pop out and pressing down on the joysticks to simply pop out of a trick. Loving most of the gameplay now, outside of how you’re always facing fakie when doing switch grinds.

any tips on 180 out of grinds on ps4 without popping? would like to do a front 5-0 back 180 or back 5-0 front 180 at a spot but even with a little drop i cant seem to turn out without popping or doing a 540 hardflip when trying to "powerslide" in the air.

I ran into this on back 5-0 front 180's, and it honestly took a while to get it to where I was satisfied. Get into the grind, start turning with the shoulder button before you reach the end of the hubba (or whatever you're doing it on). When you are about to land, move both sticks to the outside like you're doing a fs powerslide. This will make you revert the last of the front 180 out and it'll look a lot more natural than straight ollieing out of it. Same principles should apply for front 5-0 back 180 out, just reversed, and put the sticks towards the middle like you're doing a bs powerslide.

Sounds like you're powersliding too early. Make sure you're fully dismounted before moving the sticks to powerslide out.

Ye, just don’t release the joystick at the end of the ledge, release it when you’re in the air. You can also do the powerslide move to turn 90 degrees if you’re getting out of a boardslide for example.

Got this for Xbox One last night. Started to get hang of it today. Last night I was ready to throw my console out the window. It was like watching two blind guys play pattycake seeing me try to grind a rail or ledge without it being a Willy grind.
Must of been the coffee cause I woke up this morning and shit clicked after looking at some tips. Still struggling with blunt slides. But learning reverts and catching tricks with the right foot makes everything look much better.
Checkpoints are cool but I think the game would flow better if you started off where you last fell instead off being spawned back to your last checkpoint.

Started playing today after a week or so with session. Feels way too easy in comparison, like it's hard to actually bail (I can see some people would prefer that) but the tricks feel less rewarding to me.

Not being able to pump puts a huge dent on transition skating. It seems like you should be able to (like when you slide the back foot up to crouch without popping), but it doesn’t actually pump. Hope to see this in the future.
*nevermind I guess that does some pumping
-
I feel like the tricks should flip faster in general, and the same goes for the spins. I like the wind up but the 180s and 360s still feel off.
I also kinda wish that ollies and nollies could only be activated by using both sticks, rather than one. I don't know how many times I'm trying to steer only to pop shove and get stuck facing the wrong direction.

Use both sticks in opposite directions and I think it pumps harder.

The mods on pc really solve both of those issues. I played for a while without them, once you can take away the floatiness and make the board flip faster it really is great. I'm imagining they will add some sort of stats adjuster or a hardcore mode or something on console soon enough.
Put together a little edit this morning.

I agree with this, i am literally a better skater IRL then i am on session and just landing a kickflip back tail took me 30 minutes and i was stoked, i hopped on skater xl and my very first try i accidentally did a 360 hardflip back tail 360 shove out, then did the kickflip back tail in a couple more tries.
Now that i've mastered skater xl it's basically just Ea skate and the only way i struggle for tricks or feel any real joy is when i'm doing stuff like 360 flip to hurricane popping into to a switch front feeble and switch 360 flipping out.
Not to mention the grinds, in session they've really mastered the pinch with all grinds, on skater xl the crook pinch is really good but i prefer session for the rest.
Sounds/graphics and how the board moves during manuals is all better on session as well imo:
With all this said i still enjoy skater xl more purely because it's more polished and it's frustrating playing a super hard game like session when it still has glitches, super hard games shine once there are no glitches and all mistakes are user error.
-
I can’t get past the awful animations in session. Everything looks and feels so stiff. Maps look great though. I’d probably play it if I couldn’t have modded xl gameplay for some reason though.

That's because you are steering with the joystick. Steer with the triggers exclusively like the game intends and you will not have this problem.

from what I can tell they added goofy challenges and then just fixed some glitches that I was not experiencing to begin with. saw some people saying the game felt smoother but im not really noticing anything different. didnt stop me from playing for another hour haha
-
Separate gripe, if they have grimple stix decks why can't I get an eagle deck? Also some shaped decks would be sick, like in session.
yeah i've popped a few Anti hero and Krooked decks in there, you checked out mod.io? Mostly dogshit decks as gamers are fuckin' goons but there's some good ones. if I get time, i'll blast thru a few sick ones.
The no shaped boards thing sucks. I had shaped boards in an early version, dunno what happened to them. I had a Cab long dragon with Red slime balls, was fuckin sick as shit.
Also, have they done a cheeky update? Felt way easier to get into nose and tail slides last night. Or maybe i'm just fuckin' killing it.

man, the consoles need some kinda mod power or im gonna be over this quicker than i realized.
its great for putting together tricks on ledges, rails, manuals, etc, but its a lot of the same. a lot of similar spots.
its making me realize how in depth the ea skate games were. i understand this is an indie game, but the levels in skate especially the first one felt so alive in comparison and had so many unique spots and ways you could skate them. for example needing to skitch into some spots to have enough speed or taking a hill route. also the feeling of bombing hills was well done in those. you never really feel like youre character has enough weight in this and session

I feel like the tricks should flip faster in general, and the same goes for the spins. I like the wind up but the 180s and 360s still feel off.
I also kinda wish that ollies and nollies could only be activated by using both sticks, rather than one. I don't know how many times I'm trying to steer only to pop shove and get stuck facing the wrong direction.
That's because you are steering with the joystick. Steer with the triggers exclusively like the game intends and you will not have this problem.
I get ghost shoves a lot steering w the triggers

Yeah it’s kinda like steering a balloon. I want some momentum to 180s, not fidgeting the right angle in, feels terrible.

bombing hills to hit something ridiculous was my favorite part about the skate games. I would pay money to have the map from skate 1 in this game.

oh man does this drive me crazy. i usually find myself starting to do it after i've been playing for a bit and i guess my thumb just starts getting lazy and moving a smidge to the side. i usually take a break when it happens so i dont end up shopping online for a new tv lol.

Those hills and just a better sense of momentum would be awesome in this game. Would love to put those reverts to the test. Maybe I'm missing something but is there a way to push harder/faster in this game?

I only have it on console, I bought it on steam hoping I could use it on Nvidia GeForce now, but that didn't pan out so I eventually just got a refund and played session until skater xl came out on PS4. Hopefully with the next update we can get some better decks and some shapes. I loved that session has so much shit I have in real life, Roger shirts and no comply shirts and the heroin curbcrusher and egg decks made me so happy.
I feel like the dudes that made session are full on skate nerds while the dudes that made skater xl are the dudes that tell you how much they used to skate until they got a car.
That being said I really enjoy both and it makes for a great way to pass a rainy day. Fuck, I even bought a switch so I could play skater xl, but that shit got pushed back.

This game is sick but I keep running into some annoying issues. Has anyone ran into any issues with the replay mode ? I spent nearly 2 hours getting a specific clip and editing it for my first time with keynotes. Now whenever I try to open that clip it sort of just freezes and doesn't let me replay the clip no matter what.

yea this annoyed the shit out of me...took an hour to get a clip trimmed right and saved. Still have fun with the game tho

game still needs updates pretty bad. transition skating still barely works. it's still fun but i'd take updates on the physics over any fancy customization tools or levels, since these can be modded in easily.
this and session still have one big problem that is just traversing the levels on board is very wonky and unenjoyable. there's also plenty places in the school and la lvls where collision detection sucks and you can't really grind some stuff because of it or the game will think your skater goes up transition and will magnetically change the skaters angle mid air. powerslides are much appreciated and you can do some cool stuff with them, like little 360s over speed bumps, but you come to too hard of a stop even down a hill, and since you still don't really gain any momentum going downhill or into a bank they just make you stop too soon and it doesn't feel like bombing a hill at all. no complies and wallies would be sick too, as would be the ability to early grab off stuff.
tbh the game hasn't changed much at all since a year or so. it plays almost the same since it came into early access and i thought there would be more to it than a lose sandbox with ok physics and missing like 20% of all possible tricks on flat. i feel like they ran into some sort of roadblock about a year ago and spent too much time licensing skaters and do mocap instead of making the game play better.
both these games are a 6-7/10 for me so far. but skater xl is honestly too devoid of actual content and still too unpolished to be fully released imo.
it must be super hard to program the physics right for stuff like wallrides and transition in the context of the respective engines the devs chose or their actual abilities to code. it's actually baffling to me that both games have no way to proper wallie or wallride. as much as i appreciate the games that they do their own thing with the controls, skate 2 at least got all that done more than ten years ago. at this point i have exhausted most tricks i could do in both games but there is nothing to explore and cruising around on the board just sucks and is so glitched out in both games it's a bit frustrating.

I agree, both are nowhere near done. The fact XL claims 1.0 concerns me because I'm not sure how much more they will actually add. I think they were just rushing to be first to market which is not a bad business decision but they still have to deliver if they want any staying power. I'm on console so I don't have access to all the mods people are praising. Feels pretty empty for $40 without the ability to access the mod content

I have over 200 hours of the PC version since beta and paid 20. I was so happy witht he purchase I was gonna get it for my ps4 on launch just to support but they definitely are robbing the console players hard with that 40 dollar price tag for the current vanilla build

yeah i'm ok with having paid 20 quid and i knew i was buying early access with possibility of the whole project failing. i'd never pay 40 for this game in this state, especially not if i can't mod in more content if it is that sparse and rushed on that. granted i played it a lot, but half my playtime is probably consisting of waiting for a pizza to be done and passing the time fucking around in it for ten minute bursts. same with session. i probably rack up an hour of playtime everyday because i play it waiting for coffee to be done or something like that and i do that a few times each day or night. but i get pretty bored after 15 minutes or so. i tried getting into the video editor but it's also glitchy as fuck in terms of collision detection and i find it hard to find nice angles on lines, never mind the fact that its usage is totally obtuse imo.
hope future updates fix and add some things at least before the funds dry up at some point because it's just not skate 4 and i can't see many non skaters getting into this game and buying it with this lack of polish and the bland look.

If the game went for 20, I wouldn’t have gotten it...everyone who’s bought video games since the 80s knows that these cost sorta determines how good a game might be...60 is standard for a lot of new games, A new game at 20 reeks of shit
It’s not quite a 20 game probably closer to 35
-
thing is they shouldn't have released it as finished for full price, but stayed in early access some more. but they clearly wanted to stick to the schedule. there's literally nothing in the full release that couldn't be modded in before on pc. it looks slightly nicer in terms of shaders and runs a bit better but that's pretty much it. and you still have to mod the really cool stuff in. for double the price now you get
two three glitchy new levels with one having a few famous spots but they are totally lifeless still, one other being a megaramp. animations have changed only subtly and you can choose a few famous skaters as skins for your character or choose clothes and decks that mostly look horrible with a few exceptions. most of the shoes suck, too. so you have to mod it in unless you're on console where this isn't possible.
what is still like beta/ea is basically everything else. basically the same as day one, except you can grab your board, but only if your wheels leave the ground. and you can sort of powerslide which doesn't really work if you want to control your speed. and the skater faces where he goes instead of looking like going fakie when going switch and you have this weird video editor that acts like a ghost, not a real filmer. a lot of stuff in the full release was actually done by modders that are now part of the team. i'm not trying to dunk on the devs. but this game has only seen incremental progress in almost two years.
i still hope it will eventually bloom into a really good game, but i feel like i am having fun because i skate and i make the game work, if i wouldn't skate i probably wouldn't bother with this game because probably wouldn't know what to do and compared to a game of skate it's all a little bit more random control wise, as if you are at the mercy of the level designer to let you grind. as dumb as it is that thps has a grind button, the level designers would at least make sure you could grind what you wanted to grind. in skater xl(and session) there's a lot of spots that look like you are supposed to do a grind but the coding is botched and you can't really do it because you fall through the obstacle or can't lock in or get stuck on texture seams. even if i get the controls down to an artform, the coding in both these games is so shoddy that some spots are almost unskatable, although the level designers clearly put them there to be skated and not just as scenery.
some curbs in skater xl will make you fling full speed ahead at landing after doing a fairly slow grind. or how many grinds look like you actually roll on the curb or how it is hard to just fifty fifty because if your front truck hits the ledge first your character will do a pretend nosegrind or go straight into willy. which is all managable if you try to be more precise, but are things i wished they would have already patched out for the full release. just tons of little annoyances that add up to the game feeling more like it barely makes the sum of its parts but hasn't really made the connection yet.
alright i'm done ranting long ass posts, still hope everyone has fun. this game could be so much more though and my guess is feature creep and then money issues held back development. now they have to sell it for full price so they can work one or two years on making it better because ea pricing won't pay the bills. i actually hope it pays out.

Yea I get it ...I am on another forum for gran Turismo sport and people are always tearing that game a new asshole, mainly for how real it actually simulates reality
Thing with Sony is they are in no correspondence with developers and push timetables when shit isn’t done

I say it time and time again, if you game and need a computer for general purposes, get a pc. A moderate ($600-$700, cheaper if you're willing to hunt down sales for parts) pc can handle current games, video/photo editing, and whatever reasonable uses you might have. Free online play, tons of sales, mods, early access to in development games, etc. Obviously don't get it just for this game but if you game regularly and could use a desktop pc, its a no brainer. Exclusives and ease of use with a living room tv is the only reason one could want a console. But you can also attach a pc to the tv and more and more exclusives are coming to pc (horizon zero dawn, red dead, etc) so even that's not a great reason. I kinda hate sony and microsoft for their business model so im definitely biased but I can't stress how good it felt to break out of consoles. Sorry for the rant.

i ALMOST wanna spring for a PC cuz ive been loving "directing" little skate clips using it("dont tell people how i live...") and having access to those mods for spots/clothes(/is it really hard to add NPC peds?)would help me hopefully step up my shit, but $600-$700 is a little outta my range. or at least my justifiable one.
my friends and i are doing a little 1 minute part contest(winner gets nothing), but being the only unemployed one i finished this way too ahead of deadline and figured i'd make something else by then instead. also, this is 2 mins.

Does your pc specs match the min specs listed on steam? If you don't want to change out your cpu or graphics, steam is pretty good about refunds.
but $600-$700 is a little outta my range. or at least my justifiable one.
If you have a potato pc already, upgrading only your cpu and graphics card could be an option. Could bring it down to 300-400 range. As someone said before, pcpartpicker is your friend if you want to do some research.

Thanks a lot man. To reveal my cheesiness I found that to be a pretty touching comment, sincerely. I did a tiny bit of AE schooling years ago and got kinda too intimidated to pursue it as a career/sourcing footage can be tough, but this game is kinda relighting the spark to get better at it.
One of the good homies lent me his setup and I grabbed a fisheye, so an IRL video is coming but it’s over a year away realistically and it’s kinda nice to get in the swing of things instead of scrambling or being overwhelmed when the majority of the clips are in

Bethesda only allowed it cause they found a way to implement paid mods. Bethesda also has a big pull in the industry. Dealing with Sony and Microsoft and mods must be a nightmare and I doubt Easy Day can pull it off. Hopefully they at least make the stats menu mod a part of the game so the wack console physics can be adjusted. Praying for yall.

I can't get the mods to work. I figured out how to get new levels but the scripts don't do anything. Pressing the function keys does nothing. The mod installer says that the files are OK. Could it be because I have the game stored on a separate drive? All the how to vids seem to keep all of their games on their c: drive.
That being said Hollywood high is my favorite level. So dumb and simple but it is very accurate.
-
As long as you have Unity Mod Manager directed at the right directory for the game you should be ok. Check the modding discord if you need help and someone should be able to get it sorted. You may also just need to hit the install button on The unity window. After an update sometimes, you have to go back and just tap install again.
-
Sooo... is this worth getting for Switch without the mods?

very fun for the replay editor and putting together ledge and rail and (to an extent)gaps/stair tricks. the lack of set animations makes it fun to do tricks until you get them to look the way you want.
however, it has quite a ways to go.
even tho i like that they modelled stuff after real spots, they are all stairs, gaps, ledges and rails. pretty much everything feels very intended for you to skate and pretty well anything that isnt, isnt skateable. err... i guess i feel the skate levels had that as well as a design that allowed for skating things that werent intended or not as obvious. for example there are not really any hill spots in xl(i dont think the level sizes would allow it) and youre guy reaches top speed after 3 pushes, which starts to feel kinda limiting.
no pedestrians or moving vehicles kinda make the levels feel like ghost towns(la especially).
i have no regrets paying the 45 clams or whatever it was, but i really like messing with the replay editor and putting together lil clips(yeah, i am nerd). if you do not, im not sure that id recommend it at the price unless they promise new maps.
really good for what it is, but it's essentially 1/2 or 2/3 of a game at its current state without mods. im glad they decided to get it out at this state, but i hope they dont just stop here. i wouldnt mind paying again
but yeah, i went from being super hyped on it and assuming it was a very vast game to getting a little bored and feeling its limitations pretty quick. some of my fellow nerds and i have been doing little contests and have a group chat that keeps the game a little more fun

Figuring out the keyframing, gotta download that fisheye mod though since the one from the beta doesn't work anymore.
(first clip has no audio btw)
Really enjoying this game :)

If anyone is using xl mod, do yourself a favor and turn gravity all the way up and pop force up to counter balance it. Much weightier and satisfying to stomp tricks. Transition also feels better since the gravity helps you not do unintentional stalls or hang up on coping all the time.
-
Yeah, I have my gravity on 17.5 or something like that. It definitely makes everything more gratifying once you get all the stats balanced out however you want.
-
13 gravity seems to be the standard in the community for realistic skating

Have you downloaded the new XXL update? Things have shifted a bit and gravity seems to work better if turned up high and balanced with pop strength. At least for me.
Also, that edit slaps hard. Nice.

I was rocking 14 for a long time, but it seemed like it was different on the new xxl mod so I moved it around some. I may move it around some, as Im seeing a lot of people still have it around 14. I see your edits in boogies stream Lew. good stuff always.

Damn, I bought the game on PC because waiting for the Switch release is too long and the game would eventually look like crap. Now my computer shuts down every time I play the game...
Expand Quote
but $600-$700 is a little outta my range. or at least my justifiable one.
It's a 10 years old computer maily used for editing VX clips, but I added a SSD, 16Go RAM and a GeForce GT 1030. I can play the game in very low and it's kind of OK, but everytime I try to launch the challenges my PC just shut down.
My CPU is a 3.30Ghz i5.
Should I change my graphic card ?
-
Without know your whole build, but judging by it's age, you probably need a new motherboard and cpu. You could also try and snag a 1050ti or something and that may help as well. Depends on what you are willing to spend and what the weak point is.

Console player here. I definitely feel like I have gotten $40 out of this game. I mostly play it on break from my online classes as I only get 10-20 minutes between lectures. It has been fun but it is starting to lose its appeal a bit.
New levels would be awesome as would some more stuff to wear/skate. Its interesting that they have lakai in the game but not girl/chocolate?
The next thing I need to learn is 180s to manual. That has been fucking me up how I cannot seem to get that down.

You look like you're trying to play the game as if it THPS. I guess that's cool? Looks silly in my opinion.
Also you're in here acting, and boasting that you the best at skating... and editing... in a video game. Might as well just throw your real board in the trash homie.

Pop overs requires you to push the trigger once while grinding. Stop acting like its a genius move. Get over yourself. I turned mods on so I actually have to catch the board while popping lower so everything in that vid you would be incapable of doing. You should relax before I turn off my mods and do every trick in your vid cleaner and filmed better.

more disappointed the devs pretty much abandoned the game or at least suck at communication. probability that it even gets updated is gonna be low the more the game relies on mods on pc. console players got ripped off imo. they should still sell it for 15 or 20,- imo and left it in early access.
the game is great fun if you are willing to put in the work to mod it out, but fuck the devs, seriously. they've done shit since it went early access. the modding community did 90% of the stuff that makes this game really worth playing. otherwise it would be too frustrating to keep up with it.

agreed on them shorthanding consoles but pc players don't really have to "put in work" to mod. I'm a computer idiot and each new map is literally a click, open, and drop in folder. The mod manager is also idiot proof imo.
The main thing that needs to come to consoles is the stats menu. It would make even the existing console maps work way better since it unlocks obstacles and lines that you would float over before on the console's moon physics.

yeah, i get that it's fairly easy, still, other games let you subscribe to mods simply via steam and then they just show up in game. and it's true that maps, clothes, decks etc. can be simply added via drag and drop. but that doesn't change that you actively have to keep up with the mods and updates and all that. the more complicated the mod economy gets the less incentive the devs will have to fix it up because people will expect that all the mods work.
the stat menu just won't come to consoles unless the devs buy the mod and implement it into the game officially. and rn they seem to be chilling, which is cool, but they could say aight guys, we're taking some time off and then we will come back and work with all the modders on the next update and see how we can polish things up further.
just hoped the game would be way more polished than this, it seems the devs put resources into the wrong things, like mo capping, which didn't have that much impact on how good the animations looked imo. i don't get why the stat menu and camera presets, or a exit game option, music options, aren't part of the final release. there's no excuse imo, especially when you call it a sim. sims usually have all kinds of options to customize experience. i see people saying on steam "bro it's a sim, it doesn't need a music menu or too many options, it's for purists only!" yet everyone plays with tons of mods to customize every aspect of the game. the only people reeking in money are the devs.
my main problem is the devs being scummy by releasing the game and apparently peacing out on the project on the grounds that the community will develop the rest of the game for them while they continue to rake in the money, a good amount of which they rightfully deserve. but imo they should then honor their claim of supporting the game after release or at least work with the modding community to implement the most popular mods and pay these people from the money they made from the release. anyways, if easy day studios abandons this game, they will be a burnt dev anyway. apparently the mobile precursor of skater xl has been abandoned right after release as well.
i guess we will see what happens.

I'm pretty sure the devs are stuck trying to get the switch port to work. They didn't communicate an awful lot while it was in early access, so this isn't surprising. I'm assuming an update will come with or after the switch release, but not before.

yeah alright, but i still think it's wack they didn't learn to communicate. it's just expected from a good dev. imagine dlx acting like that, haha. we'd give them so much shit. the devs need to be held under more scrutiny and not glorified under some false gatekeeping mentality that they made a game for "hardcore real life skaters only" which is what i read a dude say, which made me chuckle hard.
anyways, hope you are actually right.
-
I don't know... as an independent dev trying to get mods/updates through to companies like Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo I assume they're at the very bottom of those companies' lists of priorities. They have FIFA updates to approve and implement. Or Fortnite. Or Call of Duty. Or any number of high profile games that will make a company like Sony probably one million times the money as a game like Skater XL will make them.
It's a shame that the game doesn't have more content, but I really like to turn on the game, turn on a podcast and just chill for 30 minutes or so.
But that is also the way I approach skating. I don't film often. I don't try a lot of tricks that I will get hurt doing. I honestly skate flatground and curbs 90% of the time. Maybe I'm just a boring skateboarder and I like this boring skateboarding video game.

Modded some polar big boys with the Tiago mesh on a custom character. There's clipping with shirts but I much rather run this than the default pant fit. Easy day get on this.

Can’t believe there hasn’t been an update, console players truly got fucked. Game had a lot of potential, and still does, but I don’t see an update happening in the future.

What do you have your stats at? I've been enjoying it around here and tuning it to the map
(https://i.ibb.co/cCWSkK3/stats.png) (https://ibb.co/3Mx945d)
-
i dunno man, full on gravity, but a bit more pop. i have my skater pop just as high so i can clear the highest thing i want to skate. still dabbling with it though. grind and manny pop is the same for me and at a about 0.5 i think. i sometimes think the stats are a lil buggy though. and i play with high and low pop, not strictly baby pop. i think sometimes it looks weird when people have pop too low. i like it better to have it float a little bit, just looks better in footage. sometimes the skaters look like they carry weights or something.
max possible speed.
grind pop off straight or to the side depends on what i skate.
i'd like to have manual catch on but need to set my controller up differently i guess. i hate catching with clicking the stick, i find it to be unreliable. most the time manual catch looks like a yo flip, too. i just keep the flip going via holding the flick and then let it autocatch when it's not super perfect so it doesn't look too generic.
tons of stuff i didn't change or dabble with yet. i'm fine where i am at rn. plays good and i can wallie lots of things, doesn't look or play too floaty, reasonable pop height.

Yea since ps5 is dropping soon a lot of game devs have gone silent... i havent seen updates for the few games that i play for last 2-3 months
-
I haven't played this in a few weeks, but if they do some updates for console version I will be re-psyched on it. More levels and more customizable options and I'll be good again.
-
I’m really hoping they release it for switch and include an update with it for all console versions. I’m really wanting some shaped decks.
-
I’ve gotten a lot better and am enjoying myself.
My chief complaint, I want it to be easier to do 180 shuv-it flip tricks, and harder to do the 360 version.
I want to do laser flips, 360 hard flips, and 360 inward heels exactly never. You should really have to whip it around to do those tricks.
Is there something I’m missing?
-
100% agree. I'm getting closer to feeling it out but you have to be so delicate to do a big heel or ghetto bird or something similar. I found turning the little stick display on and practicing helped a bit
-
As annoying as it sounds, it just takes practice to be able to do varial/inward/hard flip/heels easily (instead of the 360 variations).
I'm building a PC right now and being able to play modded Skater XL is one of the things I'm most looking forward to.
-
it also helps to manually catch the varial tricks I've found. I still get annoyed with them, but they are much easier when you use the manual catch.

Finally got the PC version and it feels like a totally different game (in a good way). Some clips from Berlin: https://streamable.com/jjp20r

Good on you! Welcome to pc gaming. Enjoy the free online play, modding, frequent sales, and ability to upgrade when you want without buying a 500 dollar hype machine everytime Sony or Microsoft decides you can upgrade. Sorry got carried away. I hate those two companies so much.
-
haha, i have sort of a creative block.
got all kinds of footage that i can't seem to edit right.
i made some mini edits, some longer ones, they all were fucked in a way. can't explain. i feel like i'm becoming super neurotic about rhythm and music. so i finished a bunch of vids that i discarded then. i guess that's normal when you edit stuff.

They haven't published anything on social media in the last 50 days, people is constantly asking about updates and maps and there's no answer.
Also it's been more than 3 months since they launched the game and there's no new content for consoles or any news about the switch version.
Maybe they're taking a rest but looks suspicious that they stopped the content on social media. There's someone from the pc comunnity knows something more?

Porting to nintendo is a famously difficult process. I agree the communication is bad but I wouldn't be surprised if a PS5/new xbox and switch version are what's holding things up

I personally think it’s just fine that I haven’t needed to upgrade the PS4 in 7 years. I also haven’t upgraded my PC in the same timespan, and guess how many new games that runs?
But community content on consoles can’t come soon enough, fantastic news!

Any idea what these updates are? Just playing online or ?
Anyway, played this morning (after 3 weeks of Tony Hawk). I prefer this (and Skate) STYLE of control. Even though I can't do grinds worth a shit, I prefer the controls as my feet. Xbox needs some updated gear to use though! The school and Downtown LA are fun af.

community maps,clothes etc. i would imagine it's gonna be similar to fallout/skyrim's mod system
-
Cool. Played both yesterday.. Fun for different reasons. T Hawk brings back that nostalgia and video game style play (AKA unrealistic crap) but Skater XL is more similar to SKATE. Skating switch in Skater XL fucks me up though because I have to do the tricks in reverse of how I should? Would be nice to have more shoe options though!

It sounds like you're letting go of the joysticks too early.

I'm almost always nollie out of lips. Every time I try to pop out properly I fail. What's my problem?
sounds like you dip the nose down while doing the backlip. if you just rotate with the shoulder buttons and just land in the backlip and leave the sticks, you can either nollie or ollie out. that unvoluntary nollie happens to me as well when i dip the nose down during the trick.
what doyle said is also possible. if you turn via the sticks, like a powerslide in the air. if you do em like that you want to hold the position until the skater disenganged by himself from the obstacles, then you can let the sticks go without him doing any sort of pop out. you can also push the sticks to disengage to left or right without pop. looks a bit weird tho.

That was really good, the skating and the NYC map. I'm currently playing this on console and cursing myself when I see these really great edits from PC players
-
So... for those of those making maps and gear... how does the creation work? Is it like a lego type of thing with pieces to move around and then put like a "street" or "park" or whatever texture over them? Do you create a wireframe?
I'm just curious how close the console version of the mods will be to the pc version. I know it won't be the same at all and will probably still be relatively VERY limited in comparison but I'm still excited about it and I don't intend to buy a pc to play this any time soon.
Regardless, I still play the base console game and enjoy it. It's a fun way to waste time, as a video game should be.

Regardless, I still play the base console game and enjoy it. It's a fun way to waste time, as a video game should be.
With custom maps, most of the ones that come out are literally modelled in 3D modeling softwares like Blender and Unity. They certainly not drag and drop pieces in an in-game map editor. They are designed the same way any video game is designed, which involves a lot of learning and practice. Working on it myself at the moment.
However, there is a mod (Dawg's Map Editor Mod) that lets you add pre-fab obstacles to existing maps, so people have been using an empty warehouse map to create their own layouts with said objects. It is limited, though.
As for custom gear, people edit the default textures in photoshop and then port them into the game by placing them in the correct folder. Luckily Easy Day made it convenient for us to do so in a semi recent update. Before that we had to literally rip and edit the game files using third party software which was a drag.
Lastly, when it come to console mods I am pretty sure they are just going to be integrating the skaterxl.mod.io website into the game so that console players can access community content at the click of a button. This will not, however, give those player access to mechanic changing mods like the stats menu, unfortunately. The only way for them to add that feature would be to code it into the game. I suspect they will eventually, as it's a highly requested item and arguably changes the game completely (for the better).

Harsh winter is coming and want to get this game for PC to get my skate fix on days where I cant book time at the indoor (thanks covid) or am too broke to do so. Dont want to pay full price in CDN, anyone know of any deals? Missed the steam sale a week or two back.

I just checked a few of the shady steam key resellers and didn't really see anything that much cheaper. I imagine it will go back on sale when the update comes out.

i pretty much only play it when i want to get creative and do a video. i get bored with it quickly otherwise. i also kinda fucked up settings to a point where i don't know how to get em right again. rn i feel very uninspired. might just post single clips on the reddit for now.
i agree about skate, even though they didn't look as real, skate 1 and 2 still felt better to play than skater xl. for me it's really about the visual appeal of the tricks looking real in replays, but sometimes it's not that much fun to get the footage. like i never just skate around the level like i did in the skate games. it doesn't help that the levels are very lifeless because there's no pedestrians or other skaters and no traffic.

Being able to get up and continue when you fall or get of the board to walk up stairs and stuff like in Skate 3 would make cruising around more immersive.

the fun in XL is perfecting your tricks and filming edits, imo

Try out Jboogie or Milky's settings they both feel pretty good.

Okay, I'm glad I'm not the only one. I just see so much hype around Skater XL and I just am not into it and felt like I was taking crazy pills.
Not to take away anything from people who love it. My main thing regarding the two is I like to really cruise around and hit spots in ways that they maybe weren't planned for. And I feel like the controls of Skater XL make that way too hard. I feel like even if I mastered the controls and could do any trick on command I still wouldn't be able to interact with the levels the way I want to. Also the fact that if you slam you automatically go back to whatever the last spawn point you created drives me crazy. Really makes pushing around and looking for spots frustrating as hell.

nah, i don't like the way the skating looks in their videos. everyone skates with minimum pop, every trick looks like the skaters are artificially dragged down. i hate that. the reason i started making my own edits was because i didn't like most edits. and i'll have my own settings because i don't like how the skating looks in their videos. i try to keep pop height realistic but have some actual airtime, as in real life. i don' want to copy their shit. i'm not even a fan. i care for pals edits and occasionally go through the reddit and vote some shit up. all these youtube talking heads don't interest me.
just riding your boards still sucks ass. no amount of settings tweaking can change that.

I am feelin your vibe bro, the skateing and the editing go so well together!
I have around 200 hours on my skaterxl-clock and I still love it. It is perfect to chill for me and I can see myself putting another 200 hours in it ...

I don't really know what I'm doing as far as editing goes, but its been a good creative outlet during this pandemic shit.

I admittedly didn't give Skater XL more than an hour, but even the edits by people who have it mastered look kind of "off" somehow to me - like the motion and gravity isn't quite right.
With Skate 3 I was hooked after about 2 minutes and could spend endless hours cruising around and searching the roof tops etc. I was able to figure out how to do tricks in different ways to make them look more unique, so I don't really buy into the argument that the tricks always look the same. I assume Skate 4 is gonna be unreal. Can't wait.
-
i don't like most popular skaterxl vids. gravity seems way too heavy, tre flips almost rolling on the ground. the community fetishizes low pop/ankle weight skating and reverts to an extent it makes a lot of vids unwatchable for me. what i'm missing in most edits is hangtime of tricks and speed. everything looks slow.
rn can't be bothered to play anymore. i have this mountainbike game called descenders which is pretty sick, maybe i'll try and make videos with that since i learned some basic editing chops with skaterxl.

I feel ya. There’s no character to the game. Technically it’s more expressive but it sure doesn’t feel like it. I think the physics are kinda dogshit and put flips ahead of feel. Both this and Session feel like pushing a balloon around, there’s no momentum or weight about them which leaves me flat.
-
Kinda fun finding different ways to skate this semi shitty spot
https://youtu.be/yykaKDcpVMU
-
i find myself going back to it every now and then i just cant be bothered to make all these edits and stuff. I jsut have way better things to do with my time i feel like lol. It is a great game and I have found cool ways to have my own take on the game.
Some of your guys complaints particularly Watson you made a comment about how you dont like to skate around and look for stuff, its super painful... The game is not meant to be played that way unfortunately. You have to come to the realization that this is an indie game made by a super super small team on a low budget. If they were to build animations for the guy getting off the board and stuff like that it would cost a lot more money. They spent the budget imo in the correct places first that needed it - simulating skateboarding on a controller.
I wont disagree the game doesnt look / feel like shit doing certain things. That is somewhat of the charm though seeing if you can "hack" the game to make it do something that normally isnt possible. you have to ride down grass to get speed for certain gaps and shit that you wouldnt do irl. have to think outside the box a little bit. sometimes you have to just find a trick that does look good on that spot and that's that.
not gonna lie though I would be more invested into the game if i had people to play with + make edits with + boards + clothes and stuff. would be cool to make a SLAP team + edit I think i am thinking the same thing as a lot of you guys i just want to stay away from those wild ass fat bill camera angles and trap edits and just make something that has cool skating in it lol
-
Yeah it's the fact it's a 'trick simulator' more than a 'skating simulator' that leaves me flat. Skate 1 was a better skateboard game for the fact it felt closer to skating & discovery. This is all small levels with a few spots that arent that surprising. Sure, it's an indy game, and is amazing for that, but it's now been released, and even with updates still coming out, the core of what it is isn't going to change.
Same for session, they had all the right intentions, but that games stiff as a board and still glitchy and I doubt it's in their roadmap to make the game feel fun to play over looking right, if that makes sense. None of these games feel good. Skater XL at least looks good when people make replays, but shit i'd rather watch real skating.
-
Yep i cant agree with you more on that buddy. The game in no way represents what a holistic view of what skateboarding actually is about, they just wanted people to be able to stack clips. I think if you consider that was their aim they did a decent enough job of it but yeah it gets boring after awhile. can see why the appeal is geared towards a certain crowd... I still go back to thrasher: Skate and Destroy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r3XIcKzC3SY

thx man!
i capture with my radeon driver programs record function. that doesn't have a lot of settings to play with, no contrast or brightness settings i think. i do that in the editor usually, but i left this one basically raw because of the trouble i had exporting the mp4. i had vids that looked crisper. i've been trying to capture with obs, but something doesn't work with the frame rate. i've been unable to troubleshoot the problem so far.
i have another monitor here that i want to move on for editing purposes, because it's an ips panel. should make the videos more digestible in the color and contrast department.

Hmm OK I use OBS and I have never had any issues with it. What do you mean it doesnt work with the frame rate? coming out choppy or something?

I need some game advise.
I'm almost always nollie out of lips. Every time I try to pop out properly I fail. What's my problem?
sounds like you dip the nose down while doing the backlip. if you just rotate with the shoulder buttons and just land in the backlip and leave the sticks, you can either nollie or ollie out. that unvoluntary nollie happens to me as well when i dip the nose down during the trick.
what doyle said is also possible. if you turn via the sticks, like a powerslide in the air. if you do em like that you want to hold the position until the skater disenganged by himself from the obstacles, then you can let the sticks go without him doing any sort of pop out. you can also push the sticks to disengage to left or right without pop. looks a bit weird tho.
Exactly what was happening.

I'm kinda over the game rn tho. I need more levels or online play.

yeah, comes out choppy, even though i went trough a couple of setup tutorials. it might be that i run an amd card? encoders seem to wonky for that. no problems like that with the built in radeon recorder.

i busted out this quick fakie edit today.

That was good

Got it on PC, game is dope when you dwell into all the different mods and custom gear. You can also easily make your own gear using blank gear templates and using paint/photoshop. Smith grinds be looking a little awkward though.

Sick edit Frank. I am working on one right now stacked a bunch of clips. Would be sick if we had a SLAP crew edit SHALOM
-
I'd be down to contribute some clips for a slap edit. that would be sick.
made a little edit over the weekend.

Waffles, that was dope. Here is some stuff I got the past few weeks.

sick shit guys

sick shit guys
hell yeah, nice edits.
i'd be down for a pals edit for sure. that would be cool.
-
OK Dope I am going to just take clips for the end of this week to fininsh my edit. Maybe we set a deadline of like new years day to get our clips in and then we can start editing? or a little bit sooner if someone has time off work over the holidays ? anyone want to handle editing? i have shit software just movie maker
-
I'm also down to throw in clips. I will be too busy over the holidays to reliably handle editing but bless whoever can.
-
Ill set aside some clips over the next couple weeks. someone needs to make a slap shalom hoodie or something.
-
I would be so down for a pals edit. That is, if I can figure out how to get the shit I’ve recorded off my PlayStation and online.
-
Any insider intel on the console update?
-
Def have a slap slx trick after the console update.
-
I had a go at a mates on the weekend, it’s alright hey, I probably spent a good fifteen minutes trying kicky boardslide down that hubba at school that angles to the right as it goes down, the one with the drop on the left hand side
Couldn’t do it, got the boardslide but it kept messing up trying to get around the angle going kicky in
I don’t think it’s much harder than skate 3 hardcore mode its just different, took me a minute to get around using the two - fuck what are they even called, joysticks?
I am pretty sure I will spend hours on this so I’m not buying it right now, I’ll probably get it over christmas
I don’t even have Sony plugged in at moment cause I can’t be trusted with that shit I end up playing the fucking thing all night
-
i'll contribute a couple clips
-
I would be so down for a pals edit. That is, if I can figure out how to get the shit I’ve recorded off my PlayStation and online.
I can help you with this. The easiest way is probably just to upload them to youtube. you will have to create an account and then link it up on your PlayStation. you can get to the share menu by holding down the share button
there is a setting that I use where you tap Share twice to start recording / tap twice to stop. Then once you have finished recording you just hold down share to get to the share menu again and find the clip and upload it to youtube with a few clicks. i think it is possible to have a setting so others can download the video as well.
Let me know if you run into any trouble
-

I will try to get the image from Seymour I will see what I can do...
If anyone wants to get in on the Slap Pals Discord let me know as well would be a good place to upload videos / share ideas
I dont mind doing the edit I think I can find some time over the holidays.

Trailer for update

I hope there isn't some weird brand infringement if people try to upload mods of real life gear. I'd like to give my character literally any pair of Vans other than the Kyle Walker 2s.
-
i kinda have a feeling there is gonna need to be some sort of approval process. history has shown if you give kids 2 colours and you will have dicks and swastikas spammed all over your game by sundown.
-
Thank you lord, all my worst fits of the past 10 years have been in skater xl
-
I think they are going through the shit on the modding website and tagging stuff to manually add. If they just opened it up it would be a shit show. I know they changed applewood because it had a bunch of random brand logos in the skatepark area.
-
I hope they don't neuter the PC mods to make it work for consoles. I got all my gear and settings just the way I like them. Tiago fit pants on the polar jeans on my character made me hate the custom character pants in vanilla SXL.

I dont think you will have to worry about your mods not working anymore. usually the developer goes out of their way to stop that kind of stuff and skater xl dev are very supportive of the modding community for this game. if they change something that the mod hooks into that breaks the mod, the maintainer of the mod will likely fix it shortly after the update.

Good to hear. I'm not a huge mod person so I don't know the ecosystem that well. Only dabbled in Fallout 4 and New Vegas mods but stopped because it got too buggy and complicated after a while.
-
who do i send my clips to for the pals edit?
-
Can you send to me over discord?
-
i sat down to film some clips for the edit today and filmed almost half a part. With the update coming soon I should be able to get a full parts worth of stuff before Christmas.
(got two tricks down Wallenberg today, hyped on those)
-
nice yo that would be sick if everyone has enough clips for full parts. i have been working away stacking clips still slowly. gonna start uploading clips last week of december i htink when i hav esome time off and that is whe ni really want to start collceting clips from you guys. might make the cut off for clips jan 1st and then try and put it out before i get back to work again :)
-
sounds great. i'll have plenty of clips by then
-
yo rawb, i'll send you some next week. is there like an amount of footage you'd like to have, like 3-4 clips? i don't want to send you to much so you don't have to sift through all of it.
gotta get discord setup, never used it so far, but that's easy.
-
maybe lts say a max of 20 clips or so... send 3-4 to start and if you get more by the deadline then we can add em in!
-
Are you cool with the FRAPS water mark? lol
-
idc really. have you ever tried OBS? imo its easier + bettter
-
I’ll look into it, I just saved a buncha stuff off fraps already
-
oh no worries bro ill take em! no need to re - record!
-
So, does anyone know, at what time the update will be available? They said 16th of December ...
-
Is it up yet? Look forward to playing this after work. Really just want some Nike SB, Adidas and new levels and I'm good
-
not up yet on pc at least.
-
So I reached out to them and they told me, it should be up around 17 am est
Damm, waiting time is the hardest time
-
PS4 here, it's currently downloading. Only a 4.6gig file but it's taking its sweet time. Probably just my internet.
-
Not a fan of the update so far.
The Quebec map needs stat mods on console to really feel good. Applewood seems glitchy for me, the main hubba won't grind. The game just generally seems to be running pretty shitty for me.
-
That Quebec plaza is a skatepark for ants.
-
my screens not even loading it’s just showing a grey/blue screen after starting the game
-
my FPS are dropping like crazy when skating around after the update. i like the new maps, but as others have said, physics could be toned down drastically.
-
fuck, all the shit i modded in is gone of course. you can only download all the wack fake brands. default physics suck and my settings seem ruined. it's just wack clothes and maps and the game stutters like hell. i'll just not play until this is sorted out. fuck that.
-
anyone that wants to use their custom gear and wondering how to enable: just download a random shirt via the mod menu. go to the documents/skaterxl folder. there will be a mod.io folder now. within that folder will be another folder that was created when you downloaded the shirt, which will be in there as well, that will have some sort of serial number. copy all your gear in that folder. you should now have access to custom gear as before.
-
Are you guys all playing on PC or is the PS4 version update bad too?
-
I'm on Xbox One but I only messed around for a few minutes. The couple maps I popped into aren't very well designed but in terms of performance they ran fine. All the custom gear is heinous though.
-
Fuck man I was of this on the PS4,deleted it, and thought the update would make me want to re-install....nope
-

Damn, ok, thanks! I don't doubt that the gear sucks, it's not like the original gear had a single good item in it anyway, haha.
-
A part of me regrets not buying this for PC for a wider variety of mods, but this has been a very enjoyable game to just pile out on the couch to.
-

Yeah, I like to turn the game on while listening to a podcast. It's just something I'll play instead of something like Tetris. Just a great time killer. Also, I have a Mac and don't want to buy a PC.
-
I just wanted orange wheels really.
Total frickin crash fest.
After restarting my ps4 a 4th time I went to skate Quebec but it's gone now.
I saw a Russian Sailor's shirt. That's pretty cool. I love stripes.
-
So I hate to be negative, and I have no idea of all the in's and out's of designing a video game, but this is trash.
I feel like maybe a lot of the industry is stonewalling Skater XL in favor of Skate 4? Is that crazy? I also kind of feel bad for the playable characters in this game. Will we get a Andrew Reynolds shift, like leaving THPS for the Skate franchise?
Some of you guys are really great at playing this game. I fucking hate it.
-
How do I reopen the maps after installing on the ps4. They was on the list now they aren't. Do I unsubscribe and reinstall?
-
I fixed crashing. I had to unplug the ps4 for like 30 seconds to clear cache
-
this update is crap.
if you're on pc and want to use your old mods, make sure you're on the main branch of the game(within steam go to properties, betas, opt out of all betas). run unity mod manager, uninstall all mods, update game folder just to make sure, reinstall all mods, update those that are outdated through the mod manager. this might break the mod menu they implemented, lol. or the "fix" just took it down again.
anyways, this is trash tier videogame development, they just should hand the source code to the community and be done with it.
the game now stutters and glitches around like skate 3. not shalom. even with my stats back it just feels worse to play, unsteady and jerky somehow. and i can't even use the fucking mod menu. this update basically only broke shit for me.
-
This update is driving me up a fucking wall, god damn.
-
I REALLY WANT TO LIKE THIS GAME
I'm on ps4 and I've restarted the game thrice now and totally unplugged console, the fuck is up with community levels/gear being impossible to access??
-
this update is absolute fucking dogshit. fuck skater xl and easy day studios. i'll just wait for skate 4.
-
I was really excited for the update but honestly it's a complete disaster. New maps are ok except for Quebec Skate plaza that's tiny.
New maps run Poorly on Xbox one S with glitches and performance issues. I wouldn't recommend to update till they release a new patch.

-
yeah been playing it on ps4 and really having a bad time since I updated it. crashing like crazy, new maps are really laggy at points. upside is the the first new map has slappy curbs and I figured out slappys and slappy crooks which was pretty fun.
if the new maps you downloaded aren't showing up when you start a new game, go into the mod menu and uninstall one and reinstall it. should make them pop back up to use, annoying as hell.
hoping they patch that stuff, total disaster for sure. game will crash randomly while changing your gear up too.
wish they added new pants, whatever Evan smith's character has on would be cool, and more vans, all we got were some cariumas and a few Uma boards that no one asked for.
fun when it works, hope they fix it.
-
Gear updates are wack. I think I installed a map but it won't let me play it so I just went to bed. Waaaaaack
-
New update broke my game (ps4 slim) can't make it past easy day without crashing
-
what I don't understand is why they finally release another street like level and every ledge is 3 inches high and basically just copy pasted all over the map, and who the fuck wants skateparks?
-
lot of the userbase is revive guys / youtubers
there are lots of really good mods out there, i heard there is a stalin square and have seen a couple other ones. They have done some contests on the skater XL modding discords and some of those spots were pretty on point and I had hours of fun at. there are a lot of shitty ones too, you just have to dig through a bit. i never dabbled much into the gear because it was all really wack but wanted to make my own just havent had the time. i just think the guys steering the ship at easy day missed the boat a bit on this one. hope they can get a fix out soon, i havent even played in a few days. Def gonnna wait on buying on console after hearing how poorly this update went :(
-
Such a shitty update. The city map at least. Has a couple parts with stuff but on my ps4 that map runs like shit.
It’s a shame but I don’t think this game is gonna get to where it should be content wise. They should be releasing more
Official maps on apr with the school and LA. Not just pushing some mediocre community made maps.
The plaza would be fun if you didn’t have to skate so slow just to be able to hit stuff. Seriously 2 pushes and you pop so far out you miss most of the ledge
-
Game still runs terrific on my PS5. Played two of the new maps and I didn't like the skatepark ones that much but had a bunch of fun on the new city one. New gear is shit but that's ok, adding mods on console is a huge step in the right direction and the content that gets added will continue to get better.
-
oh no worries bro ill take em! no need to re - record!
Whats your discord again? I think the last one expired.

What do you mean? Like the playerbase? I mean obviously a large amount of players weren't going to touch it simply because there's no story mode, plus they know Skate 4 is coming. 'The industry' itself doesn't really have any effect on this game, they don't have some publishing overlord controlling them and no one is sabotaging them here, they're just a small developer without a lot of support.
I understand people are getting bad performance issues from the update but a patch will fix that, it's annoying but having mods on console is a huge step forward.
As far as the skaters go it really depends on what kind of deal they signed, they may or may not have a clause preventing them from being in other video games. Reynolds went from THPS to Skate back to THPS so it really just depends on what the deals are like. In a situation like this where it's a small dev and the payday likely wasn't huge I imagine their deals were open-ended.
-
RIP all the console players waiting on modded gear but instead getting a bunch of corny fake brands. Also, stat's menu is essential for not moon floating over every obstacle in the course.

you should look up your pcs specs like cpu, gpu +vram, ram, and compare with recommended specs of skater xl, and treat those as being really minimum specs. being able to do 3d graphics work on a pc doesn't mean it runs games well. it's possible, but more likely is that you can do pretty good rendering with a gaming gpu and a good cpu, than that you can play games well with a workstation card. those things are powerful, but not built with game engines or running games in mind.
in general, skater xl is pretty badly optimized. i'd recommend a fast and modern cpu, since it doesn't seem to utilize graphics cards that much at all. but still i'd go with a gpu gtx 1060 or 2060(or amd equivalent) at least if you want it to run as smooth as possible at 1080 or 1440.

That Quebec level sucks, it’s so small, and tightly packed, even the hockey rink spot is wack. Coulda been better
-
that's what I mean, all the work and effort I'm sure it took to get the modded content on console and those are the levels they choose?
of all the levels I've seen PC players play, I can't imagine anyone wants some fucking tiny skatepark in quebec.
-
I have a feeling it's very complicated to get all of this shit through the bureaucracy of Microsoft/Sony/Steam bullshit and this is a small startup company who don't know exactly what they're doing nor do they have the power to push things through as quickly as EA or a similar company would.
That being said, I downloaded the 3 maps and a shirt and the fake AWS decks and my game crashed 4 times before I gave up and just said fuck it. I was able to play Riverfern and I liked the map, but the framerate was noticeably way worse.
I do like the game, but I will not play it in it's current state. It's a shame. Hope they can fix it.

this helped immensely with playing on my base ps4, mod gear and levels seem to work much much better
-
Alright I’ve got maybe 20 hours on this thing I already remember why I hate video games
It’s really hard for me to get a proper nice line
I wish you could place and move objects like skate3
One can also do nice catches with the joysticks on ps4 front foot for flips and back foot for shoves but you guys probably already know this but if you didn’t hit the other joystick you didn’t catch with right after
I’m trying to do a bunch of shit grecs did at those banks but I just fucking can’t
Still trying though
This will sound funny but that dtla map got me fucked up there’s so many video famous spots there
holy moly I love it
-
It's a shame that a very vocal fanbase asked for customized gear and maps when what they really needed to ask for is stat customization. Even with the base maps, not having the ridiculous gravity and pop heights would make the game a million times more fun for you guys. Even if you guys had the hottest pc maps, it would be pretty lack luster when you can barely hit anything when you're soaring over every obstacle.
-
i had the opposite impression actually. as in on steam it seems in the discussions people would have rather have a physics update or implementation of stats menu than easier gear implementation, especially since the gear is wack as fuck and it all looks like it's designed by little kids downing cough syrup recreationally.
ffs get wallrides and no complys in the game you stupid devs.
game is still the fucking same as in alpha without mods.

exactly, when I just want to do an ollie the skater makes an insane shove-it, when i just to do a kicklip the skater does a crazy forward double flip, when i just want to do an hardflip and the skater makes an insane crazy trick that is practically physically impossible.

Fortunately you can still do those tricks without the stats mod. Just be more deliberate with your joysticks and the pop and flick timing. I'm more talking about the ridiculous height you pop at at vanilla settings that make the maps unfun.

Unfortunately, I think console users are at the helm of demanding what actually gets implemented since its the biggest market in gaming despite pc growing over the years. Hopefully that will change in the future since next gen is getting expensive and the price points are closing in. PC has a bigger buy in cost but actually saves you money over time over consoles.
-
Sometimes I overshoot stuff but I reckon less likely just doing ollie with one joystick and just like letting it go rather than going back in the opposite direction
Still, could be better tho
-
OK, so after playing this game for a few hours the main issue I have with it is that it's really hard to just do a proper 180 bs/fs shove-it, so it's almost impossible to dominate hardflips, inward hellflips, varial heelfips and varial flips, which is really not cool.
It's a shame, because the game has a lot of potential and the graphics are really good.

The stat customization mod has options that really make a huge difference with this I think but unfortunately that’s still not even available for the console version

Definitely disagree here. If you try them in different ways they can look so good. Can do them so they look terrible or you can do them so they look like Bryan Herman. Keep messing with it

i agree. even better when you can use stats menu to manipulate how the board flips and how your feet catch it. i managed to tweak it just right to get herman hardflips. but my treflips have suffered. i haven't found stats that make all tricks look equally stylish. it's definetly possible to create a few different styles of flicking via stats menu, or just by being really good at the game.

im hella out of the loop, just found out this exists last week (had heard of it but never looked into it bc i had no way to play. got out of the hospital and my lil brother gave me his old xbox 1 to fuck with) only put a few hours in so far but i fucks with it.
we need stats customization on console. and wide boards.
fun for a game thats nowhere near finished. better than skate in terms of how you play/learning tricks/ reality if youre trying.
its fucked watching some of these youtube kids, i cant listen to them talk, but god damn that Milky kid makes the PC version look so much better. that dude is pretty fucked up at this game kids crazy with it
overall definitely something i will do while avoiding shitty weather and recovering from some recent health complications. thanks skaterxl
is session worth $20? guess i gotta check that thread too. any games in general actually for the xboxone hit me with recomendations i got nothing but time to kill for 2 months.

Apparently the lead developer left the company. Not sure what this means, the game will probably die on console and survive off PC mods...
Session seems to be chugging along as far as development goes. It’s slowly getting better and they’re taking time with it. The latest update seems like a step in the right direction, 20 dollars seems worth it to me.

With the new 0.0.0.6 update coming this month, Session is a much better game and they’re only half way through development. They’re concentrating on getting the game fundamentally right whereas Skater XL felt like a cashed up dash that they ran out of money to finish. It’s pretty hollow.
Brief list of things session gets right;
Levels: it’s levels are modelled off real cities, and they feel great. You ‘find’ spots and it’s super satisfying
Flips and Ollies feel way better. Not as floaty, look rad.
Grinds have better resistance to them, not everything feeling like coping as in XL.
Sound is great. Grinds sound spot on
Gravity exists
Can walk
Can’t quickzoom anywhere and have to skate/walk. Small thing but for me it keeps me in the right skating headspace.
Turning is still shit on both games which drives me nuts. Have any of these devs actually turned on a skateboard?

My best attempt at a Bryan Herman nollie inward heel on console

I'm sure some of ya'll have seen this thread:
https://www.slapmagazine.com/index.php?topic=114428.0
This got me more motivated to play on console. I thought Quebec was whack at first, however, am warming up to it and enjoy the challenge of having to slow down and be more precise.
It would be a wildly different game for me if console had stat modifications. That said, it's been nice to have a couple of new levels to fuck around with.

it's almost impossible to dominate hardflips, inward hellflips, varial heelfips and varial flips, which is really not cool.
Definitely disagree here. If you try them in different ways they can look so good. Can do them so they look terrible or you can do them so they look like Bryan Herman. Keep messing with it

it’s possible to do all those tricks on console, i play on xbox and can do all of those only one i have trouble with is varial flips. you just gotta flick the stick slower and less of a rotation and if it over flips you can still catch manually with the sticks to get a hard flip or varial heel

I would be really surprised if there was ever a stats menu released for consoles. Maybe an easy, normal, hardcore setting like in ea skate, but I doubt the pc stats mod type stuff would go through the platform guidelines/QC. But then again they did get all of their previous bugs through as well so maybe I’m in for a surprise.
-
PC has a bigger buy in cost but actually saves you money over time over consoles.
How do you mean? I’m playing on a PS4 that came out seven years ago, and everyone I currently know who are really into PC gaming buy GPUs that cost about a consoles worth atleast every 2 years. When I used to build my PCs I definitely did upgrades during a 5 year cycle even if I wasn’t buying to top of the line GPUs. I also payed 80 bucks for the PS4 but thats an unfair comparison.

I get the argument that mods make the game better, and he has every right to make it, he's just not very intelligent in his argumentation. But show me one game that isn't better with mods.
Sure, if they made it so that you could move a bunch of sliders to tweak every aspect of the gameplay it would make it more fun for you. On the flipside there is all of the rest of the console players who don't want to have to move a bunch of sliders to make the game playable. When you give players the control to affect how the game plays, the developers lose control of the game. How do you design a map when every player has different physics? How do you test the game when every player has a different mixture of stats? When you make a mod you can say "if it breaks, it breaks" but that doesn't fly with Sony or Microsoft.
I'm cynical and biased since I work in a small gaming company and I get misguided but goodhearted ideas every day from players about what we need to do to make the game great, while I see that 95% of players don't want that and when we test it out it makes no different or has negative effect. And then the same suggestion the next day, for the rest of days. For us SkaterXL is a skateboarding simulator more than a game, and admittedly it's very light on the "game" part so maybe they should move it even more to the sim direction, but I'm doubtful that there is business to be made with a sandbox skateboarding simulator. Like I said earlier, something like a hardcore mode I could see, and I'm happy to be wrong about the stats menu, but I just mainly see it as game-breaking in the larger scheme of things, instead of the path to being "the greatest game of all time".
-
Yeah console players need to emphasize requesting just a Hardcore mode rather than full stats. We'll never get full stat mods and I wouldn't even want them for every reason above me. Skate 3 successfully had different difficulties so this game can too

I get what you're saying. But the implementation of the stats has kind of become a core feature of the game if you're on PC. A lot of people don't really care to play this game in it's vanilla state I mean just look at the previous pages in this thread. As for the scaling I could be totally wrong here but I don't think it'd have a super drastic effect on map development since the main flaw with this game is it's gravity not the pop height. Pop height itself could be improved but it's not the worst.

I agree the argument was really weak, although it was sound for the most part, he really falls into his own feelings rather than what gamers (outside of skater) want. Skate was successful IMO because of its ability to be a video game. Skate XL can be just that.
If was designed to be a simulator they should say so, make it as one...and make it like those racing games (where you can engineer your car and driving style).

I will admit I haven’t played the PC version so I might be a bit more OK with the console than I should be.
Someone mentioned the lead programmer leaving and I thought that might not be too bad, you can get new developers, but looking closer at the company now he was the co-founder (and former pro skater?) as well and now they have like 3 people left on Linkedin so I’m slightly worried.
With the amount of bugs still in the game and the lack of game mechanics it actually might be their best bet to turn this into a simulation platform and turn the mod browser into a marketplace. Be the Roblox of skate games or whatever. Or is that what they are doing already... I might have been looking at this all wrong.

it's like when you do a backlip without the shoulder buttons, but just the sticks. you tilt left foot/stick to the right and the rigth stick to the left at the same time to do a shifty basically.

Ohh yep like how you do 360s on flat, I hadn’t thought about that or even doing lip slides without the shoulder buttons

That’s so sick, back tails and back lips didn’t look right before
Spewing about no stat mod cause it seems the most realistic looking way for a lot of stuff is with both joysticks but as everyone has said you go too high on console

faster spin is like the tip of the iceberg to me. Not floating a foot above a ledge when you pop out of grinds or being able to skate low obstacles without clearing most of it is where the stat mods shine.

I always instinctively hit O when I'm like 80% done with a clip and just exit out of the editor without saving anything and don't have the willpower or time to do it again.

If you've set keyframes and exit out of the editor they should still be there when you return. Just press the touch pad button thing (or xbox equivalent) to switch to toggle "Use Keyframes" on and it should show you the previously edited version.

This level would benefit from that for sure. Just played for a bit and as with Quebec skate plaza, it feels small with current physics/stats.
But as it was said, hopefully this is indeed a sign that maps will be added more regularly.

As for the park, got excited and 30 seconds in the place already sucks.

Overall its a great addition. As usual whoever designed this made so many had decisions. The scale of ledges is very THPS like, waist and shoulder height in quite a few spots but no big deal really. The random placement of generic benches, garbage cans, wood crates drives me insane. Fountain should've been emptied so we could recreate the sesh from Blessed. But its still a quality map and the aesthetic alone is very well done

Going back to this after getting used to Session and it feels so lifeless. Grinds are just static and slide like ice, there's no friction, no inertia. Session ain't perfect but they've definitely taken the lead. Skater XL is fun in a Skate 3 / Arcadey doing dumb shit way still though

yeah, same. i'm not sure what it is with session that makes it feel a little better to me. it's probably that grinds and mannys just feel way better, but are also harder to do. stat menu was definetly good move for session.
i want to check out skaterxl multiplayer, anyone know how the stats will work? anyone tried it? will everyone have the same settings on a server and can those be changed? if i have to play default controls i kind of don't want to play it.
both games still lack feeling of momentum and weight. like increasing gravity doesn't really make the player heavier, it just increases magnetism. i miss some sense of impact and momentum in both still. rolling around still off in both titles.
-
From the video I saw, each player in the multiplayer session apparently could have their own stats from any mods they were using. It might not be a good look to do that in the official release, especially if you want to have cross-platform play or competitive modes in the future. But it seems like their vibe is to make it unstructured so they might not even try to make a "S.K.A.T.E" mode.
-
I haven't been rooting for multiplayer since I don't have any friends, much less friends who would want to play Skater XL, but it did look like it could be kind of fun to try especially with familiar people and a voice chat so you could call out trick before you do them.
I don't understand why they insist on having the player always spawn at the marker, it kind of breaks the immersion for me to teleport everytime I fall instead of just getting back up.

Going back to this after getting used to Session and it feels so lifeless. Grinds are just static and slide like ice, there's no friction, no inertia. Session ain't perfect but they've definitely taken the lead. Skater XL is fun in a Skate 3 / Arcadey doing dumb shit way still though
yeah, same. i'm not sure what it is with session that makes it feel a little better to me. it's probably that grinds and mannys just feel way better, but are also harder to do. stat menu was definetly good move for session.
i want to check out skaterxl multiplayer, anyone know how the stats will work? anyone tried it? will everyone have the same settings on a server and can those be changed? if i have to play default controls i kind of don't want to play it.
both games still lack feeling of momentum and weight. like increasing gravity doesn't really make the player heavier, it just increases magnetism. i miss some sense of impact and momentum in both still. rolling around still off in both titles.
There are currently mods for the PC version where you get a stats menu and you can mess with anything really.
Easy Day Studios have been getting a lot of heat from a bunch of the most influential players in this game in order to release some kind of stats menu so that people on console don't get so far behind on the skating experience.
I recommend you check out Milky. He's this canadian dude that I've been following since the first lockdown and you should see him playing... You take his gameplay and put it up next to a vanilla gameplay and you are basically looking at two different games, it's unreal.
But hey, I'm more of a Skater XL guy myself.

yeah yeah, i know that, i played the game for hundreds of hours and modded the shit out of it, made a couple edits you can find on the earlier pages, too, until i was over it. that doesn't change the fact that both games still don't get momentum right, which the skate games did, and apart from being dragged down, the gravity settings do nothing to the skaters actual weight. the way the skater bails in both games confirms this to me, as the characters usually just sink into themselves like stickfigures. the modding doesn't help. it feels like steering a balloon person around. there's no texture to the different grounds you roll on, there's no sensation of actual rolling, powerslides don't feel like actual slides.
and i know milky and all those guys but seriously they are not critical enough of this game. they are basically doing pr work for easy day and that sucks. instead of apologizing on behalf of the game maker for the half assed state of the game and continuing to say "hey, at least you can mod it on pc and then it's cool!" they should give the devs more shit, but skateboarders are just super complacent consumers all around, hence we buy trash shoes by trash corps for insane money and fund trash games like skater xl. and i don't mean this in the game is not fun, it's just a trash product when held to wider standards in the video game industry. session is less bad but i'm over it as well. they are both glitched out or unfinished. also how hard can it be to figure out wallies/wallrides and no complies.

100% agree. They both still feel like they're balloons, and it drives me mad. Session is better at hiding it, but i'm worried the actual physics just dont allow momentum & g force to matter. Weight shifting & the impact of the ground need to be more important to these games. Turning needs to be totally redone too, so you can lean into turns use your weight to break traction and to lean into slappies & wallies etc. I hassled Session for a while on this and they said turning is pretty close to done which bums me out massively. The main thing that is skateboarding is using your weight & momentum with the board. From pushing, turning, ollieing, landing tricks, its the fundemental thing. I'd love someone to make a game ground up that just focuses on turning. Build the physics around how skateboarding actually works, and make turns & carves fun & satisfying, then go from there. Sure that's next to impossible, but it'd be incredible.
I think if you're focused on just doing tricks, they're fun but if you want them to feel fun to just 'skate' then they fall apart. Skate 3 did it better.

Unrelated to the above topic, but I just played the emb map for the first time. Bummed they didn’t drain the fountain, added a bunch of shit to it that was never there, and it didn’t seem very accurate to the actual lay out.
That being said, I got to live a life long fantasy of pretending I was the mayor in 1993.

If you look at how they build the physics and vehicle dynamics in the modern racing games, I doubt a skateboard would be impossible. Just requires a different level of resources.

been playing the multiplayer with a buddy at emb last night. it's sick that most mods work in the beta branch as well as the xxl beta branch mod. played a game of skate over the gonz gap. there was some desync, so i couldn't really see my dude skating in real time. rather he was teleporting around. if this gets better it could be pretty fun. also thinking about skating along a buddy to film his line should be pretty cool. sucks that you don't get to wear custom items, but not a dealbreaker.
i still think the devs are total amateurs and most cool shit has been done by modders but i am pleased by this addition.
-
I don't know if it's confirmed but someone gave a story that the original developers of the game abandoned the project some fans/testers picked it up and are now Easy Day Studios. So "total amateurs" would be pretty much correct. It makes sense therefore for them to focus on setting up a user-created content if they don't have the capabilities to create that stuff themselves.

i heard the lead dev left, and the remaining team tries to save the project and that they actually employed some of the modders. i don't wish anything bad on them. if they took over and try to save it that's cool. the whole production just seems unprofessional. especially since the game was announced as a full blown skate sim, then after releasing the game in a state barely altered from when it hit early access, they called it a sandbox, which to me was a cop out to have the rest of the game be pretty much done by modders. and if the current devs don't have the know how to implement wallies and wallrides and stuff and implement momentum i think they should ask for help. maybe some ex racing game dev could fix the momentum issues. black box, the skate devs, where actually a racing game dev, they made need for speed games before the skate series and you can feel it as the skating itself is enjoyable like a good racing game. they need some expertise from that genre to fix momentum and refine collisions imo.

this game on XboX One with the original moon physics is so shitty, I cant even play it more than 5 minutes anymore, why dont they make the physics MOD???
Screw this game for real, It had so much potential, but physics are so LAME!!!!!!
easier to make some stupid ass trick that isnt even possible in real life than some cool basic tricks.
this game is a BIG DISAPPOINTMENT!!!
I used like the Skater app to cell phone much more than this Xbox Skater XL game, oh, but I cant even play this app anymore on my cell phone, because I payed for the app, but my last 2 cell phones are Huawei and this app dont run on Huawei mobile phones...FFS!!!!!

modded or not modded, this game is brilliant for filming fake parts, which is something I always wanted to do w the ea skate games but I never had a proper set up. now I just film something, clip it w the nvidia app, toss it on a timeline. it's the stuff of dreams. i do think session is a better sim out of the box, and the ea skate games feel better than anything, but the functioning video editor does a lot for this game

this guy make sick used shit, he's working on making some ace af1's rn too. but i also use normal decks with DeckFX with the board wear mod, i just made the wear colour to brown. glasses and mustache are from GearUtils. by settings do you mean XXLMod? there's a lot to go through with that one, but main settings are -15 grav, 3.5 pop force, 0.5 high pop force, and make sure to turn grind stabilization off. So many settings but its all personal preference, and more so how you manipulate the tricks to look a certain way. fisheye is from millenia optics (with chromatic abberation turned off and tint dialed down) and i play in 1920x1440 at 144hz.

personally i never found skating transition good on any of these games. i think that may be the 1 thing the tony hawk series acutally did well.
no one has really come up with a good way to make lip tricks look / feel good though yet
its wild like when these games come out i get super hype but i just lose interest so fast. i can pick it up very quickly and i see some people struggle hard with the controls. they have made this game to target someone like me, but i just cant get into it like some guys do, streamin it like every damn day! lol
i feel like time spent landing something that takes a lot of tries is not worth my time - i would be getting more value practicing street fighter combos lol
i do think its cool how people make the clothes / graphics etc. i feel like if i was more in tune with that stuff i would get more enjoyment out of it. oh aslo building spots -if i had the means to make spots i would have so much more fun too. just cant be bothered though at my age

I feel doing stuff like bs tailslides and blunt-tres on transition is intuitive and satisfying in Skater XL on ps4. It’s a bit annoying that you can’t control the direction of the pop out, but I have had plenty of sessions in the miniramps on top of the megaramp.
-
You can control which direction you pop out by either bumping out with R3/L3, or tapping the trigger (R2/L2) in the direction you want to go just before ollieing out (or both at the same time to pop out straight).

This indeed works, thanks for that. I thought earlier you were supposed to hold the triggers, not just tap them.

Man i'd love it if one of these games made a good AI camera dude. Pick a style and it just does it, then go and tweak it. Filming is a ballache

They could break the mods with an update or something. But then they would actually have to update the game so I dunno.

If I remember correctly, I think they had a good relationship, but then one of them was rude, then the other got rude back then it ended with someone getting banned or something, then Dawgvinci had mods pulled? I read this a while back either on steam forums or on reddit. I've been trying to find a good summary but not getting really any cohesive explanations. People are pretty bummed about it.
My take, is I know how frustrating working on games can be, and how you have to be insanely careful how you portray yourself and your game to the community. If you give even the slightest hint you are frustrated with some of the fanbase, it can be disastrous. Gamers can be pretty demanding, and devs can't just outright say "That's a cool idea but we have no way how to make that work".

^this. It’s even more ludicrious when it’s a game they haven’t even paid anything for (unlike this case obviously)
That seemed like a pretty mild blowout, but very poorly handled by the dev still. Don’t just come out threatening right off the bat.

I agree with what you’re saying but I think developers should be able to say stuff like this. It would leave a lot of un-answered questions answered and at least stop letting people get their hopes up. Also Dawgvinci was making lighthearted memes about XL not having Console Mods and the developer Dain reacted like a baby. I really don’t think anyone on console gives a fuck about Multiplayer when we get one driveway sized map added every 6 months. I’ve been playing Session for a couple months now and going back to Vanilla XL last night was a nightmare lmao
-
anyone got a vid on how to fix the mods with the new update? If I can't get them working again I'm just gonna uninstall, turns out I don't actually like the game on vanilla settings anymore lol
-
Yeah without any context I didn't really have any idea why the dude got so aggro from one little snippet of conversation. I guess like all things, there's one side, then the other, then the truth.
I wish I liked session more because it seems like they are a little bit better at handing the social media aspect and not angering the fanbase. They're pretty open with communications. I think if their game gave you a better sense of momentum and landing impact, it would feel better to cruise around on your board.

I give the devs a lot more slack than most it seems, but this Primitive park is a waste of effort. I hope they got some money from it or something, but I’m probably not going to play it again

The multiplayer makes it more enjoyable on console imo, the maps don't feel so lifeless when there's other skaters in the lobby.

True although it feels lifeless again when you start to see that the entire room consists of 540 shove lipslide 540 shove outs

Dope new object drop feature added to the game similar to skate 3. Decent objects too like good ledges, slappy curbs, and a wood board you can get creative with stacking shit. Heard multi-player gets wild with people just making mountains of bullshit tho
-
I actually came here to complain about the multiplayer. Clearly there are far more Minecraft-loving children playing than actual skate rats. Most levels are rendered completely useless. Some of it is entertaining I guess, but a little ledge or handrail session used to be fun and now that shits covered in fire hydrants.

Yeah I'd guess 5/6 turn into some lego world nightmare instead of any attempt of a practical session

Hi peeps,
I haven’t played a skating game since Tink Hawk waaay back in the day so I’m definitely out of touch.
I have a Xbox one and need some advice on what to buy.
I really like the look of skater xl. Is this better than the new Tony Hawk games??
I just wanna cruz around and do back tails lol. Not really into the mega combo triple backflip grinds etc.
Thanks in advance

I think that once you get a hang of the controls skater XL can be really fun to pop on when you've got some spare time. That said, it definitely did not deliver for a lot of people; game bugs, slow updates (on console, mod community is big on pc from what I can see), and for a lot of folks the physics. And I agree with pretty much every gripe about the game, but it's still fun.
Like a lot of things it is what you make it really.
Edit: I'm on ps4, but Session is also on Xbox and my buddy really enjoys that over skater xl FWIW.

You will absolutely love skater xl, just takes a few hours to get it down but I love it for cruising and doing basic tricks.
Session is also a great looking game that delivers on other levels but you can't go wrong with either.
-
Skate and Skate 3 are also on EA Play/Game Pass (and Skate 2 is backwards compatible as well).
-
Session Skate might be really glitchy but overall I think it looks a lot more realistic than XL. It's a shame progress is so slow, and the locations are quite limited, at least I've grown rather tired of skating the same spots at this point. The game should turn out incredible once they get more work done since it's already better than XL while still being in development.
The worst issue is the lack of a proper sensation of weight.
I put on Ea Skate 3 the other day and it looks so smooth compared to either XL or Session, but that's all, going back to those controls feels impossible and restrictive.

Made my first edit. I mostly tried to have a trick & spot selection that you might find in a Nawrocki, Joey Guevara, Surrey, Max Palmer, or Suciu part.

That was very cool! Good trick and song selection, the edit was rich in good vibes.

I am very old and not at all "a gamer," but I got COVID 3 weeks ago and at the same time, got Skater XL on Xbox One and played it a lot. I love that there are community mods you can download but what I see on Xbox is a whole lot more limited than what I stumbled across for PC users (& very little for female characters). AND I don't see any new mods from the first time I was on. The newest mod featured is from December 22. Am I doing something wrong or is it supposed to be that limited with new stuff coming out rarely? Specifically, I see 69 pages of mods with what- 6-8 on a page? Only 8-10 spots and the rest, gear. Thanks in advance.

Thats exactly correct. The developers are slow as hell to get more maps to counsel players like us, we get one every few months if lucky. Supposedly they're always still working on new features and maps but just don't hold your breath. If I had a gaming computer I'd definitely play on that but I'm stuck to ps4

The fact that there’s mods on console at all is surprising as it’s typically a thing that’s pc only for any kind of game. Only exceptions I can really think of is some Bethesda games.

Been checking out people's XL footage. Wish I could skate those areas in Session...
To me eyes the Session animations look smoother. Already posted this in the other thread but for comparison my last Session edit;

Looks like they are having a live Street League style event on Saturday on Milky's Twitch.... Sounds kinda interesting

I actually made it in the Xbox catagory! Should be fun!

Map fuckin sucks. But at least it wasn't 6 months since the last so I hope the can keep the momentum of new maps

They aren’t actual mods. It says mod browser on the console menu but it’s just downloadable maps and fan made clothes/hardgoods.

I mean they're still mods, they're just officially adopted and supported by the devs. I understand they don't hold a torch to what's on PC, though.

This game for consoles is a fraud, it had a lot of potential, but the fact we cant control the stats makes the game impossible to play coherently and have fun with it.
If you have consoles dont waste money on this game.
-
The multiplayer makes it more enjoyable on console imo, the maps don't feel so lifeless when there's other skaters in the lobby.
Agreed, played it yesterday night with two friends. It was pretty entertaining. I was told you still need mods to get the best experience.
-
it had a lot of potential
To he it still has
Just drop a good map every month, add a Mode where you can play skate against others (you have to call the Trick before you do it) and add some new gear

nah...
I dont care about maps or gear if the physics and controls in the game are all fucked up, no precision, no realism, no fun at all...
If they put this game with stats control and modded on consoles yes, it can be an amazing game, but the way it is right now really sucks.

Agreed, although it is a fun game to mess around with friends in. The physics could really use some pop control. Your character blasts over everything like they're all jacked up on Mountain Dew.

Sadly, that's the truth. SkaterXL on console (or vanilla sxl) is actually just a demo version, and people have to accept that.
The full game on PC though... fuck, that shit is simply amazing. The SkaterXL + XXLmod gameplay is unbeatable.. Even Skate 4 will probably fail in provide better gameplay than that.
Add XXL's "total decouple rotation" setting to the mix and you will have some serious challenging hardcore simulation ting!
Session has everything I'd love to see in a skate game: amazing graphics, the whole core skate vibe and all, beautifully recreated eastcost spots.... but it will never truly deliver the feel of actually skating. The mechanics for it is just not there (not to mention animations, which just make you feel depressed as fuck)
The way you control shoulders, feet, and board flicks in SkaterXL is crazy. No wonder why some people have been buying new PCs just to be able to play this one game.

Has anybody on ps4 been able to invite friends into a multiplayer lobby? I’ve been in an open lobby but my friend/ I can never join. Always says lobby is full or that the lobby doesn’t exist.

Does anybody know how i can download a file from google earth in order to work out some sort of 3d model of a park that i can work with to make a skatepark on it?
I sort of might get involved in a local park adding a skatepark, but i have no idea how to use a fucking computer

This game for PC looks totally awsome, and I bet it is, but for consoles is really bad, almost like they havent finished the game.
-
They are on to some devilish tactics now. They added the first cosmetic DLC (here we go), but proceeds go to charity (ok I guess). It's all Skatepark of Tampa branded gear, so not at all worth paying for, except for the fact that it's all gear that is otherwise not accessible in the official game like baggy jeans and tank tops.
I don't know what to think of this. I'm not opposed to DLCs in general, I mean business wise you cannot expect them to keep a team working on the product without getting some money in, and I happily paid for all the Skate 3 DLCs eventually when I wanted something fresh. I wouldn't mind getting new boards and stuff from the real brands in the game like every season, but that's unlikely to happen for free.
But surely they will be releasing these new gear types in a future update for everybody? Or then they just keep selling them as DLCs with to drive the sales.... I don't know, probably I'm overthinking this since no-one seems to care for the console version in the first place... and the DLC isn't even available on PS, wtf
-
Yeah this drop is bullshit. Id honestly pay 5 bucks for new quality maps if they dropped on a consistent basis. If they had a NYC level at the same quality as LA I wouldn't think twice to pay for that. But would never pay for these new maps they've been dropping, way too small and generic shit

XL isn’t worth playing on consoles, not being updated with anything of value. If the session game gets you 1.0 access in september, buy that. Also depends if you like arcadey or sim controls. Once it clicks, sessions actual switch controls are unrivalled. Left finger as left foot, right as right is so satisfying. I always spend about 5 minutes just doing frontside and backside flips from reg to switch and back. Then this into and out of grinds feel great too.

Any news on this game? Like new maps, mods or anything?
I would love to have so see a big update in the very near future
-
Absolutely nothing.
No IG post since mid August and that was just reposting someone's in game clips.
Last game update was some bug patches in June.
Last new park was in April when they gave us the same SPoT park but a new rail or two. Prior to that it was February with a SLS skatepark... time to buy session next week

time to buy session next week
I love the controlls of Skater XL, but I feel the same. It feels like they are letting their own game die and I dont know why?
Comparing both games, you can see that is has way more players. But seems to me, that the guys from Session had put a lot of more work into their game or to say it better: Made the most out of their beta

https://steamcharts.com/app/861650 (https://steamcharts.com/app/861650)
Skater XL has around 450 avg players and Session has 120
I dont need much: Just new maps (without bugs), new gear and maybe new Mods (like paying S.k.a.t.e against each other)
-
skater xl is the only game i really play anymore. XLGM 2.0, that new experimental mod, hippiehop's Avenue map with the Museum of Natural History and Zucotti Park, it's been a great time modding-wise. I've got proper vignettes for my cameras finally.
It's just the New Vegas of these skate sims (if vanilla New Vegas sucked. It's still good. I played through the 360 port on Xbox One my first time.) Put a little work in and it's incredible
-

I take no pride in saying this. Cause I really enjoyed xl on console. Can't stress that enough.
Session is the better option. The offical release isn't perfect but once you learn it there's no going back. If your not on pc and your wanna solid skateboarding experience, session is the way to go.

thought it was interesting how those numbers have developed after the release of session.
i just clicked those two links, and while xl is staying around 468 avg, session has 884 avg players at any given moment.
so it seems those tables have turned.

I think session's ball is rolling and skater xl is going to be for discord kids and modders
Session scratches so many itches right out of the box. XL doesn't even have proper spherical fisheye built in to the replay editor

Gotta be honest I switched to Sessions after hearing everyone rave about it and I think it kinda sucks, you really have to spend a lot of time tinkering with settings to get it decent and even then I don't think it's as tight as Skater XL
-
that new XL footage looks like dogshit. Like a DIY Skate 4.
-
I haven't had a chance to play this yet. Are the controls nearly the same as Skate?
Even with this game being as old as it is, the graphics and the model smoothing look only fair.
The physics on the other hand look better than even Skate 3.

Way beyond skate 3 controls. Each joy stick is a foot and you'll be terrible for a couple hours but eventually it clicks and you'll realize how much better it is vs skate.
Skaterxl was a ton of fun for a year and would honestly still recommend it overall but Session is easily the best game out. But it's way harder and slightly different than skaterxl so I'd probably recommend start with XL still

That sounds awesome, so you can basically mess with the board like irl?
I'm currently on Xbox One. I'm not sure if Session available for it or not.
Thanks for the suggestion

^^ I'm also an Xbox One user, Session's available on there (it used to be an absolute steal, they had a pre-release version you could buy for like 25 bucks that was automatically upgraded to 1.0 when that came out) but honestly it's so much fun that I'd pay full price for it.

Believe it or not, SkaterXL got a beta Update. But only new grabs, which Dawgvinci had done years ago.
Yep, I am disapointed, again. It took you this long and thats all you come up with?

its a shame, this game had huge potential, PC version seems to be very cool with the modded version, but the console version just sucks!!!
-
The game is like controlling a pillow, but was super fun to mindlessly play. Easy controls. If they just kept adding good mechanics and sold levels, they'd made a motsa. The mod community really was the only reason this had any legs though.
I understand the decision to not add a stat manager to the game, as it does kinda break it but if you sell the game with shit baloon physics which is only kinda fixed with the stat manager, then you're just being pricks to your core audience.
I think a game with a really solid stat system that made it a level playing field for every player would be way more fun to watch replays of online, because tricks could actually be impressive. Session you could just mess with the stats to make anything easier, which i'm not sure i like.
