🛹

aye

🙃is nebula wild , or just unruly
When's the game coming out? Also how do I get the test game?! I did sign up for it😅
hi
Suuuup
I can answer both of those questions
No one knows, and waiting
It's limited capacity randomly picked
Judging from the last video , things are going rather smoothly for a game not that far into Dev all things considered
all things considered on this side of the planet
still on earth but its in a parallel universe where san van actually exists
I’m tired of not being able to play test! I’m officially now calling the game skate 4. You did it to yourself
It's okay to choose to be wrong.
😉
San Van does exist. San Vansterdam. 😄
i think he meant san vanelona
I can’t wait for SKATE 4
show me on a map where it exist
*looks at star charts.
Your world doesn’t exist.
😛
(These are jokes. Don’t take it seriously.)
Skate 4
skate 2022
It’s been updated on consoles to Skate. (2007).
When you see the year, that is when you know you're old.
When it is a game you absolutely killed it in that game 'back in the day'.

u never sleep lol
If riddles=Riddlisticles what does test equal?
me or you
us
Does self-promotion have to be skate related?
its not skate. but id love to share my little channel with the skate community 🥳 on #self-promotion-skate
lol true
where is thad :(
You guys like crustaceans?
i think crustaceans are pretty cool tbh @still wagon
same, im a big crab guy myself
Sushi is lit 🔥
Yessir
Ok but you don’t have to promote ur promotion from the self promotion channel in general

hi hurt
skete 
Saas
tbh i am pretty hyped for session to release on playstation
Have you ever played Session?
Yes, which is why I'm not hyped for it on any platform
in all honesty how is hardcore mode, like hoe much hader does it make grinds, tricks and manuals
In Session? It just makes it harder to be consistent
It's okay though, but that's not what's wrong with the game
The core is flawed in my opinion
wdym by core
Way more clunky, XL is decently fluid to be honest
yea ik, just trying to visualise
Morning
afternoon
Good night
you're right, my bad
😁
Good morning tho
Happy Tuesday, y’all!
Heyo
Is it actually real that skate or skate 4 is actually all platform?
This was announced a long time ago. It's XB1, XBX, PS4, PS5, PC, and eventually mobile as well.
Nice
It's supposed to have crossplay as well. So 👍
it's likely to have crossplay so yee
Super duper real.
skate. will be on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series, PC, and we're looking at mobile.
It will be cross-play and cross-progression.
And free to play.
hi ygk

The part about the cross-progression, not just cross-platform, makes me super happy 
that’s rly cool
imagine playing on xbox then you leave for a flight or something and continue on your phone

Here!
hi thad!

What’s going on Hurt?
struggling to wake up lol
wbu?
also idk why i replied if your message was right above
Here
Just ate some chicken parm so not doing too shabby
oouuu that sounds fire
Sounds good! I'm not sure what I'm gonna eat for lunch yet
Nah imagine finishing up on your Xbox and then at a buddy's house or on a trip booting it up on your steam deck
thats what gets me excited
The only drawback is it needs (at least) internet for initial login data sync but that's easy nowadays with mobile hotspots doable from your phone
The future is now
like right now
I love chicken
who?
me too 

Ur joking, right?
I check my email like an addict 😂
wh0
Will Kader Sylla be a playable character
We don't know
it must be in skate now
No way. #Creed4skate
agreed
You know it’s a good day when Thad and Nik are in chat talking about Creed
I got to say it was a good day
it was a good day

Sorry I haven’t been in chat much everyone, caught the rona. Hope y’all are doing great and staying safe!
any update on the prizes for the giveaway winners
no
Get well soon fellow skater.
i know this is kind of a weird place to ask but i had a question about irl skating, i’m trying to find a place to buy a single shoe since i don’t really skate switch ever and only my left shoe is completely destroyed, right shoe practically still brand new
i kinda just didn’t know where else to ask
word thank you!
no problem
sorry i’m not super active here
its okay
appreciate the help though
How do I get in the draw to play skate?
I'm down to wall run triple backflip Tre flip 720 some stuff 😂
Also where do I react to the giveaway to go in the draw for the year 2 deck too
So the giveaway raffle is over, but there is a video contest going on here you can enter
#reddit-feed message
A video contest lemme chekc that out I edit
Oh man I don't got my old Xbox I used to make first person clips on skate 3 would take ages too but I never uploaded them online I was only like 9yrs old
I can't download the ea app on phone I don't own a pc
How can I sign up for playtesting if I don't have access to ea app
Skate. Gameplay > gta 6 40 minutes leak footage (watch dogs)
Thanks bro 😁

Yes

Correctomundo.

Good morning!

Good morning
What’s going on?
what's that?
Afternoon folks
What’s the creed situation?
Listening, enjoying and hoping it’s in skate.
That’s what I thought, I’m happy we’re on the same page as always ! 🤝
Likewise king
Hows your day so far mate?
Is there a contest going on rn?
Not too bad just ready to go home from work already lol wbu?

Yes! #reddit-feed message
Thank you so much
Aw man, At least you're off you get a break before going back to the suffering lmao! I'm chilling man, Been playing the hell out of Star Citizen lol
Haha yea just a few more minutes. How’s Star Citizen? I’ve never played tbh
What ya work as? and yeah man its good, A very demanding game but its solid!
I just found out that my emails filtered a play test in august as spam and I haven’t got into any of the other ones 😔
Thanks GMAIL!
Why is skate. free to play?
For the contest are you aloud copyrighted music?
Or even music at all
Why not?
It’s best to just not have music at all
Ight thanks
goodmorning!
Good morning hurt!
hi thad! what are you up to
Just at work atm wbu?
just now getting out of bed
well i uploaded a video to the reel site. anything else? gotta put it here somewhere?
Nope just the reel site. @dull pilot reviews the submissions when the entry period is over.
groovy. thx

It's actually just @outer halo reviewing the videos - and we take the ones he doesn't like.
Well, TIL. Thanks!
really no way 
It's actually a group of devs and brand folks, me, and couple others that vote on top 5 videos from a list of like 10-15 semifinalists.
If I submit a video of only mongo pushing and double grabs, you think I got a chance? 🤔
if you coffin that might add a few extra points

Lmaoooo
lol
Hey @dull pilot is skate 4 going to be free?
Good evening, I'm new. 
Welcome.

[wonders what his notes were on my past submission]







anybody here rlly good at english
Only on Tuesdays
damn
Wednesday I only speak pig English
Thursday I really shake it up by sleeping the entire day
But seriously, xD what cha need
gotta find what Literary Element the quote is
Lets go to #off-topic and figure it out

no not me 

Which server?
Like "the" cuz? Almost resubmitted my first skate 2 video, but he actually shared it on the skate blog when it first came out and he was actively sharing community vids. Glad i didnt lol, maybe a fun throw back but lacking quality
this server
Oh weird!
I didn't notice an outage
You stay talking here

tbh it might’ve been on my end, there were 2 other servers with the “!” symbol on them and said they were experiencing a server outage
I love chicken
hi
Sounds like discord being discord to me
Jokes on you I've got the quickest reaction in the west
I knew you already reacted. And @lavish lark, I know you'll complain regardless. I had that option for you. 🙂
(jokes, of course)
🙂
hi nik!
Hi Hurt !
how are you?
Now that's a burn
But it would be very useful. I have all messages for giveaways on but it doesn't work. A ping role for it would be perfect
good, and u?
W
do you know what that is
Yes
Dunno man, it needs more cow bell
Hi guys
hi nik!
how are u?
Hey guys
@tacit dagger Please don't DM me anime

@dull pilot 🐐
HOW
Re-downloading GTA V makes my connection caca

Thank you Jeff !
@dull pilot 🍻
i don't even know how yall got them that quick
bruh i still aint got one 😔
Thanks for the 2 free months of gamepass ❤️
Thanks again
i entered as soon as i saw and it was already redeemed 😭
I love how i re-arranged my setup and broke my mic in the process
ctrl c ctrl v
too slow
I got one! Thanks ^^
I love breaking my personal things on accident
damn bro i sat here just putting them into the xbox
i forgot how to redeem codes on xbox smh
@dull pilot do you have to redeem them on xbox?
you can redeem it on the xbox website
does the gamepass pay for the nitro
no
redeemed mine on microsoft.com
thats how ppl did it so fast
I copied it on phone, then pasted and selected the code to copy, and pasted it lmao so idk
because it has been going on for awhile now
I appreciate your kindness Jeff
skate on the nintendo switch
Or the site or app.
now that will be sick actually steam deck and skate sounds even cooler
it's like on the go gaming
no
Alrighty, you rascals.
I'm gonna go hit the gym and make some dinner. Behave and have a good night.
Drink your water, take your meds, get some sleep, touch grass. And remember:
Keep Calm .. and Skate On.
See ya tomorrow.
has anyone ever played on those things the steam deck is it worth it by any chance since i heard it can run xbox gamepass stuff like a windows pc
oke
I can’t touch grass
havoc
living in the desert
sad
w community manager
No allergic
mods are gone post all the codes
Have a good session Jeff !
dang well nobody can tell you to go touch grass because it will be bad

Yeah
💪


thats you!
Okay. NOT YOU. Don't touch grass. 🙂
Tokuo_ is built different
Fiiiiinneeee.... I guess I'll do what I'm supposed to... 
😂
Maybe I'll touch grass tomorrow, going to touch grass at midnight might not be the best idea
he defies the touch grass joke that discord says everytime they crash
Allergic to grass? Didn't even know that was a thing. Unfortunate.
im an avid soccer player
Ight
some people are allergic to direct sunlight to
@dull pilot would you like to join the vc for a bit?
Water is in rum right? That counts
Damn, some people must be very unlucky if that's the case
including some people being allergic to water i don't know how that is a thing the body is made of water
sounds like a 1 in a billion type thing
the only thing i am allergic to is a life saving medication that helps with all bad sicknesses
fun
yeah pretty terrible luck amr
I gotta run my 3 miles and do my chest/arms workout before making dinner. Soon, though.
Think I'm allergic to some forms of pollen, i.e., I have a bit of trouble breathing in late spring, but for the most part I got off scott free
ayo send me some dinner
Let's GO !! 🫡
hope to see you soon!
Tbh i wish i was alergic to pickles instead of the only life saving medication out there
McD's is so bad for you, it's pretty much the same as being allergic tbh
like half of my shirts and pants are sagging because i been doing maintnance outside here in FL
i cannot spell whatever i was saying
the heat boils it off i used breath heavily but it has went away
lets see my original weight was 207
it is now 203 or probably more now then since half of the pants i worn feel loose
I think you'll find it drops a lot faster when you've built some muscle
my arms have been building lately
since you'll be burning a lot more calories per day
when u get 2 codes but u cant use it for some reason 😦
instead of lawn mower
good cardio as well
rip
probably explains the no heavy breathing anymore
at least u have a code ;-;
Yeah I just copied and paste it on the website easy as tbh
For everyone that got a code and hasn’t played it takes two before, go play it. Very good game
dopee
man discord pinged me so late 😭
Ikr
Lmao fr
same
I just got pinged
I haven’t played it but I own it
Bro I just got the ping
Same man
Same lol
Bs
crying
lol why did I just get pinged
Same
Bro 😭
helo guyes :D
Same
Daaamn
Discord am I right?
i think someone just like pinged everyone then deleted it or put a ton of @s
It was for EA play
delayed ping oof
not even a chance to redeem lmao
I’m going to kill myslef! Omg
Didn't even try
Lol
myslef
Good discord, good.
Only a half hour late on the ping. Thanks discord
The fact that I thought I was the only one who got the late ping
I did did the ping say
No that's not what happened, you can check your recents to see
Thought this was for Sk4t3 4
ohh nvm then
tbh good on whoever got em i already won a copy of skate 2, give some other people a chance
skate 4 doesnt exist
Ooo
Wow, thanks discord, you miss a @ everyone, very cool
ea play, not skate 2
🤦
Y u type it like that
Oh
Dang I need some gamepass, kinda sad 😥
Fr
you know considering how many people are saying they just got pinged it’s possible there’s some codes that will work
They gone alredy
Already clapped 😢
1 D0n1 Kn0w Why
Aint no way
I just got pinged aswell
200 messages? What'd i miss?
Same
12 month ea play
they dropped codes for 12 months of EA play
i got late pinged too
tbh it can’t hurt to try
They all got clapped bro 💀
what doesn’t kill you makes you sadder
I would help but yo boy broke
Well if anyone wants to pass some free gamepass still, I'll take it 😎😎😎😎
Someone drop a nitro code in chat and I call u dad for a week
Sooner or later, someone will mod a skin, make the skater turn into a tiny monopoly battleship, and say “I’m a G0DDAMNED WARSHIP!”
how many people in here starting skating irl because of the skate series
it’s cause that’s what’s in his head
WWW
Don't like the fact I got the notif an hour after
i wonder how many people gonna get this reference
Fr
Still waiting for Skate-It remastered, EA.
is it not?
nope
I just need nitro
We only got 1 and 3, but still no IT and 2.
Cheese?
Braddock give me gamepass before I tell the world what you did last summer
was skate it the one for the wii?
And phone, I think
i really didn’t like how it controlled on the wii tbh i’ve never played it on a regular controller

What
but you know wii ports tend to suck
and ds
Yep
i never had my own console until like 2016
Yoo
Ye lol
Xbox is taking their sweet god damn time with Skate-It for Xbox 360, 1, series s and x, PS 3, 4, and 5!
I missed the codes, but thank you @dull pilot and congratulations to those who got them!
how do you guys feel about skate. not coming to switch
Can I get a "oh yeah"? Before I leave.....
no
Bruh
gottem
Rip
if i bought a skate 2 disc for 360, could i play it on my series x?
Welp, no good byes
Well damn lol
🤣
I don’t know.
i feel like it should bc i remember them making it bc, just didnt add it to game pass
How much value does Skate-It have in a Pwn Shop?
but i'm new to xbox so im not sure how that works with older discs, i'd have to buy them
Gotta be like a hundred or something
Check the timestamp when I posted. That was 30 minutes ago. They probably are all gone... NOW. They were when I posted.
@dull pilot join vc pls
yup guess i gotta be faster next time
check like ebay and offerup, guitar hero guitars are getting mad pricey now so maybe it gets some luck like that but i cant imagine it will be worth a lot
Ok
You still can as long as you use a web browser
Yep! Just find skate 2 on the website version of the xbox 360 store
There's a few links under the pins in this channel
What is the story behind the San van quakes in skate it?
can this be used for new gen?
Yep as long as you're signed into the same account that you use on that xbox
you cant triple stamp a double stamp
No. I'm saying that whatever microsoft account you use for your current xbox is the account you should sign into on the website version so that it is added to your account correctly. It then should be in the install tab on your xbox
This might help! https://www.xbox.com/en-US/games/backward-compatibility
a lawnmower
thanks to the staff for adding a new music bot 
i found it on the web store on browser but it shows "not available as bundle"
who ping?!?!?
i've also found a way to download it to my xbox before but it doesnt let me play it
stupid question but is the play test still out
no
nope
oh igh preciate y’all
we werent able to use the previous music bot, im just glad theres a new one now 
@astral totem like menno menno and you dropped an n when your 🥜 dropped...cuz its jpdidde13 and i wanna say hi
Weird. I guess it had a bug or something. Glad it’s working for you.
?
confusion
there was a menno on iNH skate2/skate3 team my team i thought it could be you and you just dropped an N
you must be mistaken me for someone else homie
correct that is what im saying lol. He's very cool to me tho so i had to ask even tho I suspected you were not him..
You could have phrased that first comment in a less weird way 
lol
Anyone playing mw2 beta tomorrow?
damn the vc is empty:( just got back
all discussion regarding the mw2 beta goes in #off-topic
i’m guessing these have all been used now
most likely
i hope to
🐇


Only one way to find out
I may or may not have 2 game pass codes to give out that are in my nitro gifts
dont be shy
maybe don't look in #skate-memes just sayin 
Any news regarding a new update about Skate.?
that’s hilarious
niiiiice
But then I wouldn't have been able to filter out a false claim from a non menno, that when provided an opportunity to pull a prank tool advantage, this way filters that out as well ....you must play checkers huh?
Crazy how Rockstar got hacked amr
it was by a 16 year old what reports say man when I was 16 I was really just watching TV and dealing with school work that person has a 5.9GPA or higher he can be a great IT guy seriously he can help companies
.
I just want to throw it out there, but day 1 on the new Skate. I really need someone to remake this ramp.
Also, I'd love to have the song from this video in the game too, that's bonus
The Creed Merch joke lmao! I love it
If you get selected do you have to fill out a survey cause I missed my window it was sent out in August. Been signed up since the reveal, am I not eligible now?
Will there be more contests in the future?
Yes
I got a notification in this channel but I can't find it lol
Same
Xbox people got pinged yesterday so it was probably that lol
If that's what you're calling it and want to believe, then sure. In the future keep it more appropriate for the server.
How is asking someone if they are someone who you made multiple videos with for the game skate 2&3 not appropriate for the general discussion channel on the skate franchise discord. #hallmonitor
One was even featured by cuz on the skate magazine because my daughter made custom decks for everyone including a perry the platypus one she was 7yrs old.
All of that is irrelevant. Don't ask people or make reference to private parts dropping. That is all. 
Curse you need to sleep! I missed the codes 😭... 🛑... 😀 Be strong...you got this.
I'll never sleep again! 😭
I may have been doing similar things when I was 16. It can be very easy, especially if whoever is in charge of security hasn't been staying up to date with software patches or firmware updates
Also sometimes a directory that's left open for press or for any reason really can accidentally get things stored on it when they shouldn't be. The problem is far too often things that shouldn't be stored on the same network let alone server... Are
This kid isn't by chance a family member of an employee or friend of a family member? I haven't really been following it beyond "Rockstar hacked". Then I saw a video of what looked like a piece of GTA5 with some natural motion physics tests being done along with more in depth ai reactions but obviously neither are done.
Good morning
Understood Don't make jokes that only someone old enough understand would understand. Side note what's the servers stance captain on referring to someones choice of vernacular as being weird, then when clarified continued to speak condescending to that person to secure their self manufactured feelings of importance and authority in said virtual space....asking for a friend?
Good morning Nik! 
I liked your interview with Sy. I watched it yesterday
I have that saved for later today. Pretty cool
Dude thanks! Still trying to get better at actually interviewing someone but he did great lol
If that's what you have to do to feel better then you do you. For concerns contact modmail.
Thanks guys! 
Morning Nik! Having chicken today?
Huge Chicken guy
I think I might stop at Cane's for lunch. Pro tip, ask for the bread double bobbed
Top of his class honestly
I’ve never had Raising Canes tbh. I always wanted to try that sauce
They finally opened a Canes near me about an hour away I gotta go try it I’ve never had it
Never seen one
It's good sauce. All the seasoning for the chicken is in the sauce
Ok, so session released today and was wondering if anyone has played it on ps5 and if it has haptics?
Speaking of top of his class. Me week 2 in fantasy going 4-0 😎
Is the cole slaw as bad as people say?
can u trickline in skate 4
What is skate 4
Dude let’s go! What a bounce back lol I’m 2-0 in both my leagues so far so hopefully that continues
King 👑
What’s even better is when the patriots beat the Steelers though 🥱
Not as good as the stuff I got at nandeauxs (spelling?) But it's not terrible
Zaxby's not nados, idk why I was thinking that
Nando's.
Would Nandeaux be a cajun version? That'd be dope.
Oooh snap. A shrimp po' boy with X sauce from Nando's. Oh goodness.
For some reason I remember driving by a place with that name but Google is telling me no
Google knows all
Yes I am ! Lol, I actually just ordered some
You gotta get a poboy from this little shop called Bon Creole if you ever make it down this way. It's a little far for me but great poboys! And gumbo, and etouffee, honestly all of it. It's known to be a place for tourists to stop but also just super good
Oops lmao
I have zaxbys where I live and I love it but I hear Canes is better so I need to try it
Let's be honest, most food in that region is good. (I just don't do boudin rouge.)
OMG I meant Zaxby's the whole time how did I mess that up!?!?
Like... I cant recover from this... That's just a bad flip of restaurant names that makes no sense.
My long covid brain finally feels fog free today and woooooow... Honestly you might've thought I had the beginning stages of dementia sometimes if you heard me talk on the bad days 😅
Dang I don't have even one of these places around here
You don't do boudin? Or you don't do boudin from Baton Rouge?
I don’t think I’ve even heard of half of those lol
I honestly only know Nando’s
Is Nandos even in the states?
Yes
When I look it up on Google maps google is just like “nah doesn’t exist here” lmao
Oh yeah cause Jeff goes there so it has to be. Must be a west coast thing
Most likely
Just wanted to say that I hope everyone has a stellar day 
I don’t do red boudin.
Oh... Yeah no. I forgot that was a thing. I stay away from that
I just know it from trips to London. And the fact the sauce is carried at Ralph’s (grocery)
I wish we did
Small town noises
Oh yeah I’ve definitely never been to London so I know nothing about it lol
Morning y'all
Good morning!
P
you fly to london for one day, just to eat nandos lol
I would. But nah, for work stuff.
that's true lol, maybe when u have some time off
Yum nandos
I’m pretty sure if you’re in Kindergarten you’re breaking discord TOS because you’re under 13

i cant wait for it to realease on xbox!
When do they start xbox and playstation play test
Eventually.
Ok
How the heck
What the heck
Nice move support other devs work 👏
You love to see it 🥹
Wait.... What if they were the teacher? 

Uhhhhh…. Nothing to see here not at all keep it moving
Now I have that meme in my head where the kid goes " when I was in the third grade they treated me like a criminal"

what the hell
it was a joke
ngl i thought emulators werent illegal

Hello
Hi Nik
Sounds like you should probably get that checked out
Yeah maybe
But I nearly got a kick flip again
Btw I haven’t skated in like a year and a bit
Hospital stuff 😔
hi nik!
whats up?
Hey Thad
sup dude
dup
dup is the new sup now?
dup
Hello what is the #disscussion to talk about Skate.
Props to EA skate supporting Session.
OK thanks
I’m downloading it rn
it's quite good
I like session but it still feels unpolished and kinda clunky
Which is understandable due to it being an indie game
do anything cool today?
make the new skate game based in california (LA, OC, SD)
im tryna skate in LA Hoods without getting banged on by a LA banger
The city in skate. is called San Vansterdam.
I still love the name
Me too.
Just heard Skate. is gonna be free-to-play... not a fan of that.
Okay.
The game is going to be free to play.
With cross platform and cross progression.
On PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Series, PC, and we’re looking at mobile.
There will be micro transactions - but focused on cosmetics.
No pay to win.
Will the cosmetic items be able to be earned?
All the info that is available today is in The Board Room video.
To be fair, part of skateboarding culture is about style.
It's not about cosmetics, its about being tired of video games trying to solicit money from me. And being tired of working hard to unlock things that people just unlock for cash.
yeah but it isnt like that huge of a deal
well they are taking influence from apex so it should be fine
I understand where you're coming from, but its about companies trying to build out games to encourage me to participate in microtransactions. They're really talented at convincing players to spend endlessly. Look at fifa, half of the marketing for the game is about the loot boxes. And I'm nervous that the extensive marketing of character customization is skate. is a similar tactic.
well they need these transactions to keep the online life and updates that we want constant
Facts.
It's also a matter of principle. I want to pay devs for games, I know how difficult it is. But when I feel like I'm being manipulated it can make the game feel inauthentic
you will never be manipulated
no free game asks directly for money
excpet like mobile stuff
what do you mean? thats the whole objective of every free-to-play game?
I think the objective of every free to play game is to play the game.
they only give the ability to spend
thats why multiplayer games work so well, you see all of these people with these things, which makes you want them. and then you have to go spend money on them.
The objective of making skate. free to play is to remove barriers of entry so anyone and everyone can play.
I mean even paid games do micro transactions so I dont see why one free game matters
thats just you man sry
I have never wanted to buy something i saw someone spend money on in game
You're right, the issue is with the live-service microtransactions, not the free-to-play. Ideally there is a free-to-play version. But also a version where you can have access to everything behind one initial paywall.
could be worse, they could make you pay and do microtransactions
It's not just me, its not even me at all. I refuse to play games with microtransactions. But the US government is literally considering legislation due to the manipulative nature of these models.
Don’t play them?
We’ve only shared a first look (via The Board Room, you should watch it) and have a lot more info coming as we continue developing the game.
I understand that sentiment. The issue is that there are a lot of really cool games with really good teams behind them that lose their value as a result of the model. It's just a bummer cause devs work hard and then someone like EA comes along and makes the whole experience feel inauthentic.
I'm almost done with it - have been watching it.
That’s business my guy
Businesses are ran a certain way, and they remain in business that certain way
I don't mean to sound like an .. but when my little cousin spends his parents grocery funds on a fortnite skin cause the game has been designed to make him want it so bad it really sets me off.
I’m positive they know what they’re doing otherwise we wouldn’t be where we’re at
speaking of the board room vid, can we get braddock in the next one plssss
That seems like a naive assumption based on the recent history of video games.
Oh, you don't want to see my big bald head. 😉
I think I do
I’m not particularly investing in any one game, whatever that experiment has, we’ll know once it’s out.. it’s meaningless to pout nonsense on an unfinished project that even they don’t know if it’ll live up to the “hype” or expectations
I don’t care about micro transactions, as I have a job and money, but to each their own
That's why a lot of games now have spending restrictions built in, etc.
And it's not a game's fault for having MTX. It's up to each player (or parent of minors) to set limits.
Games will be around forever and companies will come and go, but the experience we have to wait and see mate
yeah that's definitely up to the parents
it's not like it can be bought behind their back
"try to wait for the game to actually release before making conclusions challenge (impossible, GONE WRONG)!!"
In the same way a casino is not responsible for people spending their life savings. Sure its not their fault, but the deliberate design of the institution to encourage that sort of behavior is no more ethical for it. MTX in theory is not unethical, but the in recent years implementation is certainly questionable.
in what way is a casino related to mtx
you're not gambling when you purchase virtual goods
you know precisely what you're getting
Its an analogy dog. Its not gambling, but there is a parallel between the encouragement of self-destructive or irresponsible spending.
You're referring to paid lootboxes. Not MTX.
it's a bad analogy
Lootboxes are worse. But I'm not talking about the gambling aspect, I'm talking about designing a game specifically to facilitate excessive spending.
fair enough.
Well, the game is going to be free.
How would you expect to have a long life, frequent updates, etc. if the game is free?
Add a different version with an initial paywall, even if its quite expensive. And if I purchase this version, I get access to all content in perpetuity. That would be ideal, I do appreciate having a free version of the game. And I would happily pay a decent chunk of change so that it can be free for those who need it to be. But if I want to whole game, I don't want to have to spend money continuously.
thats dumb
if you can instantly unlock everything while they constantly add new stuff you would pay thousands for just one game
This isn't out of nowhere btw folks. Do a little bit of research. MTX live-service its pretty much universally considered anti-consumer by the people who know what they're talking about.
not a separate game - just a 'deluxe version' sort of thing
*works in the industry for 12 years, but is told to do research on the industry I work in.
Alrighty then.
All I'm gonna say is
even then that would prob only have like a few exclusive skins
LOL
Not talking to you on that one - I understand you're in the industry
Wormfood is simply an expert on the matter
None of us can even come close to his level of expertise
I'm not an expert - I've literally just done some preliminary research... and am familiar with the relevant literature.
definitely not an expert - just trying to voice a concern that I have for a franchise I love
Nah I know it's you William Higinbotham
As I understand it as well, voicing the concern of a large portion of the community.
Ur cover is blown
@late coral - you've made your point. And it is appreciated that you've shared it here.
That being said, the game will be free to play. It will have MTX.
It will be your choice to play it or not, and if you do, it will be your choice to purchase MTX or not - and it won't be required to play the game.
Anything else - well, you'll have to wait for us to share more information.
u got me
okay. my apologies for getting heated, I hope you all don't let EA make all the decisions. best of luck.
they dont got much of a choice lol
*works at EA on a game developed by an ... EA game studio.
Okay then.
quick question:Do you know Andrew Wilson personally?
I've met him a few times. Got a couple selfies with him during an E3 a few years ago.
wow, is he cool?
He's pretty cool. He's an executive of a gigantic video game publishing company and started in the Asian and European Markets before moving to EA Sports as an Executive Producer for FIFA. Then he became Executive VP for EA Sports and Origin, then became CEO.
Pretty cool journey.
Whatup skate. fans!
I just came from this video -- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y2XddTE08rI
- and I'm happy to see stuff is happening -- excited to see where this goes!
You should check out #youtube-feed - there's more videos.
I'll be sinking my teeth into the info!
I've been playing since the first game, and I'm enamored with the way the game feels to play!
I think the camera angles used in the skate. games probably have a lot of impact the overall gamefeel - something that's been difficult to find in other, similar games.
skate. absolutely nails the control scheme, as well - I miss it!
Skate being online free to play makes so much sense. Skateboarding is all about community and having fun with your friends. I think it makes sense for the game to focus heavily on that. It’s not like skate is some big story driven single player RPG that’s going free to play lol
Heard about this on a podcast today, hope it works out!
The Board Room video was very good and informative!
Exciting! 👍
what just happened
Nothing. What's happening with you?
about to eat this new seasoned chicken my mom found at costco
when are more beta invites going out? i still havent gotten one 😢
No Beta invites have gone out.
We're in Early Pre-Alpha stage. And signing up as a skate. Insider just puts your name in consideration. Participants are randomly selected - and invites go out a week before a playtest starts.
💀
bruh this year flew by like a wasp ready to sting ya nan its wack
ikr
ikr the months are just flying by
I like the cold
I'd rather be cold than hot
^
i cannot sleep at night if it's hot
would just like to the point out that the general population is honestly pretty stoked about the game being free lol
true fr
they already said they arent locking gameplay stuff behind paywalls or anything, that's enough for me
like to a hilarious degree the difference in reaction is honestly quite funny
When it’s nighttime at the ferry port on session I loved it so much the golden bridge had decorations
Hello
I can not sleep. I can not dream tonight
i need somebody and alwaaayss
Beta? Never heard of it.
guys how do i access the skate 5 post beta
waiting xD
I'm more worried about singleplayer and challenges, and cosmetics behind mtx doesn't sound too good i would want be able to just express myself without giving EA a single dollar I don't wanna look like another default bot character wearing the two free cosmetics in the free battle pass I want to play to express myself (And I mean PLAY not GRIND the game like a belt sander)
Lot of assumptions based on a bit of information. Maybe wait for more info.
Ever heard of Diablo immortal? And free to play usually means no single player. unless?
Again, assumptions. My recommendation is to wait for us to share more info. Game is in active development, we'll be sharing more info as we continue building the game.
anyone wanna play irl skate on cam?
I'm just worried that's all
Check the #youtube-feed for videos, like The Board Room.
ty
I think microtransactions are completely fine when it comes to free games
personally i would rather just spend mone on it
the entire game
skate platinum edition
lol
I've been playing riders republic for a while and got it on sale, now for a paid game I don't think micro transactions are justified
was just going through emails and found one from ea playtesting asking me to complete a survey but now it's past expiration
its a scary thought, paying to access certain things, maybe if it was like a custom map and what not, but honestly I like the thought of having 80% of the game when i buy it
I think emotes and cosmetics and dlc are all good options for microtransactions
I just seen that
all though a custom map would be cool (even if you had to pay for)
not locking the main map, but just another custom (like skate 3)
It's not saying there will or won't be future map stuff. But if there is, it will be free
But that divides the community with the "haves" and "have nots", which is the opposite intention of this game. So, why not have it free?
well I was referring to how skate 3 did it
nothing said it had to be a lot of money lol
but there is a reason i say thisd
when there is a game this enjoyable, I would like it done right, not some sloppy seconds map (if you did create one) as a map dev/js dev I like my work to be as polished as possible, that's very approachable for the person that wanted the game, basically I wouldn't want anyone dissatisfied
I guess my thought is, if its not a payed for map, why would people try as hard to work on it
The only thing, in my opinion, that could be payable are DLCs, similar to the ones in the previous games
Plenty of games have had huge funding and still flopped because of things like crunch, feature creep, and rushed release
Because they're passionate, they created this studio to make this game, OG devs came back to the company to make this game, and brought a bunch of awesome new blood to the studio to create a game that respects the legacy of the franchise while building the future - and can be supported for a long time.
Well if you say so I can trust and respect that, to be honest I am glad that you guys are communicating to the community at all, thats something a lot of companies don't do so its very nice to see
I mean, heck, this server has been open a year already - before we had closed public playtests.
We're bringing y'all along the journey of building this game. And yeah, I've been at EA 12 years - and worked on a lot of franchises/titles. But I've never seen a studio be this open, share this much of the early dev work publicly... ever.
(Except for like those kickstarter games and whatnot).
No shade thrown in my last comment, btw.
And to bring folks into playtests this early - as we're building out the gameplay, listening to feedback, etc. - and more playtests are coming.
It's pretty dope.
Personally I love when devs are open with development and playtests, not gonna name names but I know plenty of communities that abandon a game because of radiosilence.
What is your thoughts on the modding community that are interested for Skate, via play models, custom decks etc. what are your thoughts on that community that wants to come around
I mean, that's basically the reason I'm here. The openness of the team and the community. Makes it all feel like everyone is a friend
Idk how many other game servers I've been in and left where, even though it's official, no one actually on the team is there and it's all one big show of anarchy that doesn't matter
same here
It's honestly too common
Especially for really good games
Not Braddock but I'ma take a stab at this.
I think it'll depend on how the game actually is to see if and how mods could be a thing. Too much unknown right now
fair enough
My personal thoughts on a mod community? Some games need it to expand the game. Some don’t.
Officially? I have nothing to share.
We’ll have tons more info coming to share with the community as we build the game.
Very excited to see where they take the game in terms of mods/add ons
Skate 4 doesn't exist
But the new skate. game has not been announced for switch
I meant skate
@tall falcon I don’t think skate 4 is a game but skate. Is going to come out but not on switch
sKaTe 4 dOeSnT eXiSt
Oh ok
Don’t take that from them Daniel
It doesn’t
If you want Skate 4 you make it happen bb
@dull pilot will there be custom soundtracks
Is that something you’d want? Check #skate-ideas-archived for a thread - if there’s not one, make one. And share your idea.
alright i might do that
do you know when there will be more betas?
There haven’t been any betas.
😉
We’ve been having a couple of external playtests of the pre-alpha build, but not betas.
yes, maybe I've explained myself badly. e your page registered one and the mail could get the game to try it, that's what I meant
I'm so excited to be able to try it out that how much every second of the day
Yep. You register? You’re good to go. Now you have to wait to be invited. Invites are random, go out a week before the test.
Yes, I am registered from the first moment you communicated it but unfortunately I have not been chosen
