The new controls that Session and SkaterXL will make you never want to go back to Skate.
HUGE disclaimer though, the default gameplay sliders for Session (especially the ones involving turning) are pretty awful. All of it is going to be subjective, and may vary by what controller you are using. However I think the turning is ridiculous out of the box.
I'll share my personal settings for an Xbox One controller on PC:
Board Settings:
Sync Truck Tightness: On
Front/Back Truck Tightness: 12/20
Wheel Bite: Disabled
Wheel Grip: 15/20
Advanced Settings:
Banking/Turn Rate: 0/20
Crouching Bank Rate: 10/20 (Default)
It feels like the turning may have changed a little bit since the pre-release, so I might still tweak these, but this is a good starting point at the very least.
I also feel that the revert triggers a bit too easily while you are trying to fine-tune your approach to a rail, so I have that backed off of the default by a bit.
