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

I need to tweak my settings again, I'm too used to where they are and now everything feels too easy again

Are they completely removing mod support? Or is it just Dawgs?

Dr Waffles · « **Reply #849 on:** July 11, 2021, 11:43:07 AM »

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

goingapelikenigo · « **Reply #850 on:** July 13, 2021, 07:44:15 AM »

this dawgvinci mod situation is dumb as fuck. really hope they just let each other be so we can keep getting mods. i'm not playing the game without manual catch and gravity sliders.

goingapelikenigo · « **Reply #851 on:** July 20, 2021, 03:34:28 AM »

tried out a new optics mod and i think it looks pretty cool

Multiplayer is up on consoles. It's seriously so good

i won't update unless my mods will work or they have all been updated. what was up with dawgvinci, do the devs and them have beef or what?

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

InternetDaddy · « **Reply #859 on:** August 14, 2021, 01:28:44 PM »

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

BinkyConklinFan · « **Reply #860 on:** August 14, 2021, 05:11:58 PM »

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’ve been interested in this. I got my first gaming console in 20 years last week because I broke my leg skating. I’m imagining this to be the closest thing to real skating in the meantime.

It's really fun, I got into it for the same reasons. Even if you aren't into a lot of games you can have a good time with it on consoles. It's still enjoyable without the mods that PC players use. Hope your leg gets better soon.

Went back to the give try the new park and it's ridiculous. Also after playing Session for months the physics feel so weird.

Oh great, another map the size of my bedroom that nobody wanted or asked for. Until this game brings in actual street spot maps or a stat menu I’m fuckin over it. Feels like everyone’s been very patient with ED studios but got damn man.

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

now that the mods are working again it's still kinda fun. I did the multiplayer for a bit but it's kinda bland with nobody talking. if any of the PC Pals wanna get in a server and talk shit on discord/play skate/just fuck around I'd be down
