Anybody having this problem? -

I tried saving a couple of clips and then after a while I couldn’t view them anymore and it says not enough storage space (which is bullshit because I checked my ps4 storage and there is plenty of storage left plus an external hard drive.) I then restarted the game and my “saved character” went back to the original male default skater.

same here! ps4

I’m so bummed. It took me like a half hour to make this one clip after getting the perfect angle and figuring out the key frames etc lol. I even tried uninstalling it and installing it again and still doesn’t work.

Never in a million years would I think I’d be better at skateboarding in real life than in a video game but here we are. This game is fucking hard!

Lifelong gamer who actually got into skating via THPS. then back when the first skate was about to come out, the fluckit forums were the first message board I was ever a part of. Pretty much both my lifelong passions wrapped into one so it's easy for me to binge free skate and just practice shit lol

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.

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.
I'm going to argue that Placebo owes their entire career to a Canadian dude's skate video part. Appleyard should be getting royalties for this shit.

Cant get off the board, but there is a spawn point where you can mark to any point in the map and spawn in that specific spot and direction.

Yeah, it’s really convenient and I don’t miss being able to step off the board at all, although it would make sense if there was a mechanic where you could do like caveman tricks and shit

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.

Fifty Scent. I helped start La Familia shortly after skate 1 released. We even had a full length that got lost to the Internet after Vimeo started purging all the video game clips that started to flood the site around that 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.

Guys! You're not impressing... hold on... SlapRhaters? Sorry - is this supposed to be someone of note?

Of course a Nyjah fan would equate playing a video game to real skateboarding. Lol.

Day 3, everything started coming together. Still not solid on ledges/rails and am horrible on tranny (stalls) but can roam each map and control the speed of my flip tricks (PS- a massive, slow rotating hard flip is amazing in this game).

Anyone know where I can find the leap of faith?

I'm just dropping knowledge you should be paying for but im nice, Tired of watching people who claim to love skating who don't even realize the boards magically sucking to their feet, I don't like Nyjah but I Don't like You either.
