Flip tricks into crooks/nosegrinds/manuals are so much better now with the flip trick adjustments. Back wheels used to always hit first.
I think with new developers on and them being able to do a deal with TMNT for some payment, we should be on track for more future updates. Either way hyped to see them not let the game die unlike SkaterXL
I initially thought XL had more promise - after digging into the deep settings of Session it's a much more enjoyable experience from a skate simulation perspective anyway.
But they really did abandon Skater XL quickly. I lost all hope for any updates a long time ago.
More maps- and free! is welcome and I certainly don't begrudge them getting a cash infusion with a crossover, but I don't see myself spending a lot of time at the sewer spot.
I would happily pay for another city map or additional famous spots rather than the more fantastical / novelty or themed options of TMNT Sewers and a Waterpark.
Can anyone on console vouch for either of the 2 current paid DLCs that offer maps? Are they worth the £10? The skatepark one that isn't the water park seems the most interesting. Even if I do want that fucking Cobra character model / missions.
Map Ideas:- Barcelona
- London / UK general spot amalgamation
- Stuff like Stoner park or other modern plazas
They could even get creative with branding or crossovers if not homages and do things like a
Dying to Live map with tons of big rails + gaps permanently at night or dusk.
I cannot stop tinkering with the gameplay settings. The new updates (at least on PS4) have improved the animations but have left me feeling totally useless at flatground regular (or switch) tre flips. Seems to be more scope for natural, varied looking flip tricks in general though.
I've got a good couple of trophies left to get (smith+feeble grinds, Manny S stupid 180 5050 mission, then doing sponsored>pro with manual catch) and just turned off the casual grinds. Sooooo much more fun!
