do you think skate will adapt a VC like 2k does it already I never played online
[close]

I really hope they don't do anything like 2k with VC. Myteam in 2k is one of the greediest money grabs in all of video games. People literally spend thousands on packs. They have a monopoly on one of the 3 most popular sports in the world and it really shows in how lazy they are not fixing things that have been broken for 3+ years. I have made a decent amount of money selling MT this year though.

And this shit right here is why I've been playing 2k12 for ten years and refuse to get any of the new 2ks

Saw some news about Skate 4 being revealed in July. I guess we'll find out the release date/ game details in a few weeks.

I legit hope they don't make everything loot box based.

Like, everyone starts with Revive boards. And if you want an AH18 Eagle board, it's $5.99.

Don't want to watch John Hill vids? That's $4.99.

I wouldn't be shocked if its just a full on reveal maybe with a CGI trailer and a big name skater alongside it. Tons of games get a couple showings before they get a real release date. Maybe we get a release window but if its just that usually add 1/4 of a year to it.

hopefully they stick to the old formula and put pros in the game people actually like and pay their sponsors to put their product in the game or at least make an online server where people can upload shit like customized parks and gear

Same. I loved (and still love) THPS, but the controls of not turning enough so you can't get the lipslide or the such makes the dynamics feel way more real. Also makes battling certain lines/tricks both frustrating and real as well.

Games haven't been doing the best right now, and still cant easily get a new PS5.  And yes many gaming studios have turned to online micro transactions, will most likely be a big part of a lot of future gameplay

I only hope they allow us to turn pedestrians off, like in the first game. They drive me crazy whenever I fire up skate 3 on the xbox. I finally have a good PC so I'm looking forward to messing around with mods.

Pretty sure You can turn off traffic and pedestrians in free play in 3 just not in career mode. Quick switch and you can play as yourself or pros (might be mis remembering I only really play career)

That speech and music was unbelievable

But the clips at the end definitely has me optimistic for it being a solid step forward from skate 3. I'll definitely be more hyped for session if Skate keeps the old controls but definitely will go back and forth

the motions for setting up, popping and landing all look really good. also noticed they have a new motion for throwing down your board which is pretty cool.
the "main character" is wearing a Dime shirt so at least we know there's hope that there will be cool clothes and hopefully good pros to play as

SkaterXL and Session ruined Skate for me. I hope Skate 4 has modern dual stick controls. Skate feels so limited compared to SkaterXL. Makes Skate 3 nearly feel like THPS.

So did Skate when you first played it, you just don't remember that part.

Calling it right here, they're going to have a dime glory challenge in game.

Also this update has me cautiously optimistic that they'll be able to appease both the annoying let's play hall of meat crowd as well as us big nerds

Looks pretty promising from that teaser. I've been a Session loyalist the past couple years, and honestly wasn't planning on getting S4, but I may be changing my mind. Session will be there to satisfy my sim needs while S4 seems like it'll be great to just fuck around with and do silly creative things.

The controls in SkaterXL are the best ever in a skate game imo. Made perfect sense off the bat for me. Each joystick as an individual leg/foot makes the tricks feel like you're actually doing them more. It's also cool that you can do tricks with different styles depending on how you flick and control your legs, like it's not just a standard animation that looks the same every time. You can mob a kickflip if you want or bone it out shifty depending how you do things. It's dope

the error list near the start mentions slappies, better pinches, more lip tricks, and staying in switch. thats enough to get me excited, animations near the end looked good as well.

skater XL is fun and satisfying to play, but the animations are too odd for me to fully enjoy, will be interesting to see if skate 4 mixes up the controls or just sticks with how it was

I think they will have both control options. I think it would be so short sighted to limit themselves to the old Skate controls. Its worth noting that the dev studio had a job listing for a veteran gameplay control designer a few months ago. It COULD be for the parkour and such, etc... but man I'm really hoping they don't rest on their laurels with the previous control scheme.

The whole thing that made Skate 1 stand out is that it broke tradition and let you have more control than THPS... if they were to come along and just go "Yeah, we are playing it safe and sticking with the controls from 10 years ago ONLY" it would be going against what made the franchise successful. SkaterXL has shown how much more control you can give a player, and how much more a player can express themselves with that extra level of control.

I think SkaterXL has amazing controls (definitely better than Session), but obviously there is room for improvement and growth that Skate 4 could bring to the table.

I'm going to play Skate 4 regardless, but if they stick to the old controls, I don't see myself obsessing over it as much as I would want to.

Its sad that SkaterXL got bought-out and abandoned, and then Session got bought-out and the lead developer left... I don't have a ton of faith in EA at this point. Hopefully they can surprise me though.

I didn’t know the lead dev left session? Any more info on that?

I think sessions controls are the best of the lot but the flow of the game is too stilted and the weight distribution isn’t there. Hopefully V1 pulls it all together.

This new update looks super goofy but some of the grinds looked slick. I’m keen for it either way. XL is dogshit, which is a shame as it was easy and fun and if they kept developing it it could have been good but it’s super boring.

I just want weight distribution and momentum to be the core of one skate game. It would fill in all the gaps where these games fall flat. Slappies, wallies, turning inertia, landing from different heights, balancing on grinds etc.
