I NEED IT MAN
How do I get an access invite?
I got into this playtest and I didn’t know because EA didn’t send me an email about it
Now i’m playing it and they made this game look like Fortnite smh
after playing it for around an hour or so is that they made this game like fortnite or the saints row reboot, its lost all its grit that made the trilogy on 360/PS3 quite charming, now it looks generic and "disney"
I actually like the parkour aspects, kinda reminds me of the THUG games and the skating and physics feels fine if a bit wonky
all i can say is that its kinda mid, nothing really impressed me, however this game is obviously pre-alpha so early access and release may be different
I have an RGH'd 360 that I could just play the original games on, just as I have a bunch of other modded consoles i could play the OG THPS games on
This franchise introduced a lot of people to skateboarding in a similar way that the tony hawk franchise did for me. Skate 1 has so much soul and the grit in its art style is incredible. The spots, the story, the character interactions/missions made 1-3 special and unique with each entry.
This game is a slap in the face. A cartoony free to play sandbox game with s*** spots, no pros, no soul, floaty & unrealistic gravity and a huge focus on f***in parkour
I hope they have a hardcore mode and add some actual real life skate spots, this is a terrible representation of where skateboarding is right now and I highly doubt it’ll do a fraction of what the original games did for the skateboard industry
It's kind of insulting how watered down the aesthetic is 💯
Is this for late Gen Z/Gen Alpha kids that worship Fortnite and Roblox? Even then, they have their 2000s Y2K "older brother core" psuedo-nostalgia that can be easily capitalized on by making this game more aesthetically "grounded" in the way the original trilogy was
Skater xl with an actual budget would be the best skateboarding game of all time
I still haven't tried either SESSION or Skater XL, how are they?

Session is incredibly stiff, has cool challenges as well as a real core feel to the current skate world but the gameplay itself leaves a lot to be desired. It has beautiful graphics and spots but the movement and style of your character is personally disgusting to watch. You can tweak stats but it doesn’t improve the gameplay very much.
Skater xl is similar to session in the control scheme but much easier and the movement of the character is free and you can make your tricks/style look real. Not as pretty graphically but a much more fluid and fun experience. If you have a pc there’s tons of mods that make the game one of if not the best skateboarding game ever. The movement and freedom are unlike anything in this genre. Console maps and customization are limited but it’s so fun learning how to do what you want.
Skater xl with funding would be the best skateboarding game of all time idc what anyone says
I love when everyone starts working together without mics to each drop 5 quarter pipes on top of each other all the way into the sky to drop in off of onto some crazy ramp like the parking garage by the church
The physics aren't nearly as tight as the old ones but its a trade off with this crazy parkour off board system that seems like f***s with the actual on board code at times

game been in development for years and still in early access

crafting the perfect game as a service progression & monetization system takes time man
