general-discussion

[dull pilot]

I mean, I can see that.

Will be interesting to do the poll again once Early Access launches. See the difference.

[tight bay]

After launch, the polls will be a ghost town of zero responses because everyone will be ripping.

[exotic beacon]

This poll should be posted on every social if it hasn't already

[shadow yoke]

@dull pilot Why isn’t Nintendo Switch / Nintendo Switch 2 an option for EA Skate?

[floral jackal]

Hello everyone

[cunning sparrow]

skate it for the nintendo switch

[dull pilot]

Because the team isn’t developing the game for those platforms.

[tropic shuttle]

Where's xbox 360 on the poll 🤔

thats where I play

[dull pilot]

you won't be playing skate. there, though.

I COULD'VE been more specific, but the poll is referring to where you play today + where you're most likely going to play skate.

sorry for any confusion.

[quartz field]

any idea when the next set of play testers are going yo be picked i been waiting since they announced that you could sign up 😭

[split sluice]

waddup skate gamers

[waxen apex]

hi

[hollow hazel]

I can’t believe OG gameboy black and white version isn’t on the poll

[split sluice]

i cant believe the soulja boy console isnt there

[stiff lichen]

When is the console plays test ?

[split sluice]

sometime this fall / autumn (fall/autumn finishes dec 21st)

[vale anchor]

[violet panther]

[dull pilot]

[unreal finch]

[tropic shuttle]

I'm aware 😔

[unborn snow]

what role would that be

[dull pilot]

The role sweeps winners get for the contest.

[unborn snow]

aah

[dull pilot]

It’s a different role for each sweeps to avoid folks double-dipping.

[unborn snow]

ngl the dev team should refrence me in the game

[raven imp]

forreal 💯

[empty coyote]

I wonder if i could build a sleeper xbox. New xbox but in a 360 shell

[unborn snow]

probably not

the shell was really cramped as it was back in the day

[empty coyote]

I bet you I could

I can just have everything stick out at the back, no worries

I can hide it behind a stack of games

[unborn snow]

youcould maybve get away with putting an xbox series s in there but not sure

the psu is massive for the size

[small mirage]

PC 2 should have been an option in the poll😔

[rapid briar]

Yes you can

[sudden warren]

@languid sky LET'S GO! congrats on the contest dub!

[honest mortar]

@languid sky congrats for winning your 80th giveaway

[languid sky]

Yooooo!! Shoutout to everybody who won on the Franksgiving Giveaway!

[waxen apex]

Yooo congrats @languid sky!!

[dull pilot]

CONTEST, not giveaway.

nerds.

[honest mortar]

Contest to giveaway stuff

[languid sky]

That’s WAY good haha can’t lie, the truth tho

Every time there was any contest, I definitely entered

Truth be told has a new meaning…..

[honest mortar]

you probably win like 8 outta like 10 contest

[languid sky]

I was blessed!

Lol

[honest mortar]

I would of made a video but work and other stuff takes to much time

[maiden adder]

Can't wait for this game to come out

[languid sky]

I knoooooo 😢 That’s the sad part. Atleast you still have some time to record when you can(:

and you get to take some pretty cool pictures when you’re at work!

[honest mortar]

sent you a test record too with me playing bass cause getting back into music a bit

[dull pilot]

What kinda bass you got?

[honest mortar]

Ibanez

[dull pilot]

I’ve got a jet black Fender PBass Lyte (JP) with EMG pickups.

[honest mortar]

mines is Root Beer the color it says lol

so like a red

[dull pilot]

I dig it. I put one sticker on my bass.

The Nando’s chicken logo.

I freakin’ love some cheeky Nando’s.

[honest mortar]

I need to get myself a 5 string

[scenic nova]

congrats @languid sky

[scenic nova]

cheeky nandos 😂

[upper vault]

Skate might the best game I played when I was younger

Really made my days

Best game for real

[split sluice]

ive never been and i feel like i really should have

[eternal arrow]

</3

ay gg tho

congrats on the boards guys

[dull pilot]

My hands are too small for a 5.

[magic pasture]

I have a Fender Tele American Vintage with EMG’s on it, I am aware it’s a war crime

[dull pilot]

Calling The Hague right now, you monster.

My first was a Steinberger headless with EMG Selects. Was awesome, but way too heavy.

[magic pasture]

Deftones on a Tele is a vibe… (and it djents if I try hard enough) 😂 I have an Ibanez that gets far more use because its light! Steinberger headless guitars are the most unique looking things ever

[dusk cosmos]

i play on skate 3 not in skate.

[unreal finch]

I have… a guitar hero warriors of rock controller if that counts 😂

[rocky hearth]

Hi

[gaunt smelt]

p

[silent pagoda]

there is a surprising number of PC fans here. Has Skate ever officially released on PC?

[unreal finch]

Not until skate. Came around

Skate 1 and 3 can be streamed through xbox game pass on pc for now however

[onyx bough]

Any chance someone can help me trouble shoot trying to invite a friend into an online game? Using Xbox One currently

[dull pilot]

#skate-3 check some pins

[clear orchid]

Just got some games downloaded while I pass the time for this game to release!

[wraith snow]

W information giver fr

[wraith snow]

“They’re gonna make him do this till he’s 90”

[prime vortex]

Ibanez is cool. But I’m a Schecter chad

[onyx bough]

Not sure I understand, I apologize

[dull pilot]

In the channel #skate-3 check the pinned posts. Also, see what other community members may suggest.

[unborn snow]

Damn finland aint on the list

[rancid timber]

Giveaway time!!

[unborn snow]

Maybe someday

[mortal vault]

I gotta say session skate sim is low-key kind of fun

[rancid timber]

Also, about the poll: shout-out to my bois still on Xbox One

Mines beginning to die after about 11-12 years

Kinda goated console for me

[mortal vault]

Real Homies continue playing the game on the 360

[visual oracle]

I am honestly surprised there's more people on the OG Xbox One than the PS4, at least on the poll.

[rancid timber]

Maybe PS5 is a bigger jump in tech than a Series S/X (not hating, just theorising n such)

(I may be immensely wrong)

[visual oracle]

The Xbox brand is weird.

Anyway i need to sleep.

[silver pulsar]

Anyone else here since like 2021?

[strong vector]

just a heads up the #giveaways-and-contests date has a typo

[silver pulsar]

Still havent been able to playtest

[split sluice]

hello all skate gamers

[scenic gull]

Wassup

[split sluice]

im chilin how you doin homie

[scenic gull]

Chillin as well bro 😎👍🏼

[wraith snow]

Why the S?

But congrats on the upgrade!

[scenic nova]

series s 😭

i would just save for the x

[wraith snow]

That’s what I would’ve done too- the series s is also what holds a lot of game devs back cause it’s so annoying to make games for as far as I know, but the console does look sleek tbh

[unreal finch]

Right, plus a digital only console is a hard pass for me

[wraith snow]

Call me an old school youngster or whatever u say, but like- I need my games on disc, cause then ik I own whatever I got yk?

[waxen apex]

Same for me with games and music. I need that CD unless it's digital only

[wraith snow]

Sameee, I’ve also gotten into vinyls as of late, so I’m trying to find a good record player to play my tunes on

[waxen apex]

Heck yeah. Good luck

[waxen apex]

What rank do we get the purple role?

[wraith snow]

Uhhhhh tbh I’ve forgotten, all ik is- I haven’t levelled up in a while, so I think I’m stuck here now 😭

[waxen apex]

Rip to you. It's either 50 or 60. I'm level 45

[wraith snow]

I think it’s 60-

[unreal finch]

Is blue rank 15 or 20?

[wraith snow]

I tbh don’t know- cause I got it when it was a level 5 thing haha

[unreal finch]

Wow 😅 i wouldve had it a while ago if i joined last year

[languid sky]

💙💙

[signal hazel]

yeah rip skate

[wraith snow]

Rip skate?

[hollow hazel]

I’m gonna rip skate next year when early access drops

❓❓❓

[waxen apex]

I wish y'all a Slappy Christmas

I'm just now realizing there's no Slappy emoji

[simple stag]

Yes

[hollow hazel]

👋🏼

[unreal finch]

We need a slappy emoji now

[languid sky]

I want the rickroll building sign as an emoji!

[unreal finch]

Consult jeff for that one

[languid sky]

Emoji suggestions, I’ll png it later(:

[scenic gull]

Never.

I'm hoping that skate. has a scooter feature. That would be good.

[lament garnet]

No

[white elk]

I need the game to come out now because what if I die in this next year and I can never play skate⁉️

[wraith snow]

As mean as this sounds, that’s life man 😭

[crystal compass]

i bought my first skate today

[cold fulcrum]

I signed up for the play test like 11 times I’m a hardcore skate fan and hardcore gamer

[scenic gull]

No way.

[slender crag]

I’m excited af for this fr

[vestal river]

How do you know if you got chosen to play test? Just email, or on the website?

[dull pilot]

You’ll receive info via email.

[dawn hedge]

I haven’t received mine and I’ve signed up for everyone lol

[abstract shuttle]

if you sign up, it's not an absolute guarantee that you get in, be patient 🙂

[wraith snow]

I think people forget that all the marketing says “for a CHANCE to test the game” not “to test the game” haha

Oh that’s so valid 🙌

[abstract shuttle]

i mean pretty much yeah, although at the end of the 2022 "still working on it" trailer, it directly says "sign up to play" which i'd imagine can mislead some people

[scenic nova]

Was it cheesy?

[hidden bronze]

How’s everyone doing?

[wraith snow]

I’ve never had mac n cheese haha, what’s it like?

[wraith snow]

Hella good! Did a super fire drawing of myself in like a baggy, cartoon graffiti style

[hidden bronze]

Swaggggyyy!

I’ve been working a ton, it is what it is though, income’s been good

[wraith snow]

Truly! I’ll share it in #creative real quick!

[wraith snow]

Heck yeah!

[hidden bronze]

All my Christmas presents have arrived though, by the looks of things too
Lots of sick clothes n’ stuff

[wraith snow]

That’s awesome! I’m thinking of buying this crazy expensive camera, but at the same time- I’m in need of more swaggy clothes haha

[hidden bronze]

Oh yeah, I had a crazy haul of clothes

I got a Smashing Pumpkins hat as one of my gifts, it’s super nice

[wraith snow]

That’s doooope- I never rlly look forward to Christmas- I just look forward to the food

[hidden bronze]

Same, and the gifts hahahaha

I’m not very festive 😂

[wraith snow]

I don’t rlly get any like “good” gifts ever- in the sense that- I don’t rlly care making wishlists- so I instead go and get a nice trip out getting food the day after with my mom

Cause now that. Is a good gift- food and family time haha

[scenic nova]

Mmmm pigs in blankets

Bro I'm so bored rn fr

Work is so dead

[hidden bronze]

True true! I buy most of mine myself, ruins the surprise but it is what it is

[wraith snow]

Then- make it not dead

[hidden bronze]

Preach my brotha

[scenic nova]

Don't ask why I'm on my phone at work 😎

[scenic nova]

There's nothing to do!!

[hidden bronze]

I try and socialise with customers while scanning stuff but some are genuinely so dry when it comes to conversations

[wraith snow]

Hey. If there’s something being danish taught me, and having Lego has a huge company we created.

Make ur own fun. 😎

[scenic nova]

I'm legit jus standing in the kitchen doing flip all

[wraith snow]

airpods in, looking at phone, then saying no to a receipt then asking for one 10 seconds after u asked them

That’s the cashier life

[hidden bronze]

At least I can reprint receipts from my register

[scenic nova]

I'd hate doing retail cuz I'd eventually just crash out

[wraith snow]

Yea, but it’s still annoying

When I was a cashier, I could print a receipt instantly, but if I then scan someone else’s things- I’d have the either cancel their things and put them back to scan after I then go into the machine and make it reprint it haha

[hidden bronze]

Omg exactlyyyy
Sometimes they come back 10 minutes later for a receipt, but we can only reprint receipts up to the previous transaction

[scenic nova]

People are jus stupid 😭

[hidden bronze]

So if someone bought something after they did, tough luck

[wraith snow]

EXACTLY- 😭 it’s frustrating haha

[hidden bronze]

Most are pleasant, thankfully

I’ve got a good grip when it comes to my job

[wraith snow]

That’s good! 🙌

[hidden bronze]

There’s just some people that grind my gears

[vestal river]

So does early access mean anybody can play?

Because I can’t connect to ea nation at all in skate 3 so I’m just waiting on this for the time being

[sudden warren]

That is correct. It is not a closed event

[vestal river]

Awesome

[hidden bronze]

Sup Huck! How have you been my man?

[sudden warren]

Not too bad, hbu?

[hidden bronze]

I’m going good mate! Considering joining your raffle, but money’s tight coming into Christmas, you know how it is 😭

[warped cliff]

I hope they make s.k.a.t.e good like in previous titles i wanna beat my boy with my inward heel bs360

And let us play off stair sets so i can do my bs 540

[sudden warren]

Good to hear dude! and don't mention it my friend

[sudden warren]

I can't see a world where it isn't included. that's an OG game in skateboarding!

[warped cliff]

True thatd be cool if we could pick the spot tho not just predetermined area on only flat.. me and me boy would always go around and find the craziest sets to play off of and if we clip the set u pass ur turn

[sudden warren]

I love that idea

[vestal river]

I’m praying to RNGesus that skate 4s liptricks actually work

[vestal river]

Oh my god shut up

[wraith snow]

It’s just one of those days

[vestal river]

I hate when franchises name something after a game that already exists

Like madden 25

[sudden warren]

Very triggered from a single bot comment. Take a step back and take a chill pill and hang out with us

Check this out ^

[wraith snow]

I mildly dislike when fans of a franchise don’t take a chill pill and end up sadly creating a bad vibe in chat

[waxen apex]

Same

[wraith snow]

Also love when chatters don’t respect the rules of the community they’re currently in 😭

So amazing. So crazy. So creative

[vestal river]

Like what?

What does that emoji combination mean

[waxen apex]

How you doing today Luna?

[wraith snow]

Can’t say- against server rules 🤷‍♀️

Pg13 and stuff yk?

[arctic seal]

can i still signup for playtest as of rn ?

[waxen apex]

Dang ):

[arctic seal]

oh fr thanks

[wraith snow]

Yea :( but overall like, good, moods amazing atm

[empty coyote]

Yo i can’t wait for skate

Just for the throwdowns honestly

[wraith snow]

Same, the animation is CLEAAAAN

[wraith snow]

Also! Just got some amazing tea, so now I’m chilliiiiin

[waxen apex]

Heck yeah

[scenic nova]

what kinda tea we talkin

[wraith snow]

Uhhh- Forrest fruit flavoured tea bag

[scenic nova]

ok that does sound good

its like i recommended those a long time ago

[wraith snow]

I’ve been drinking these since I was 7, so- not from a recommendation of urs 😔🤚

[scenic nova]

:/

[vestal river]

We need more styles for skate fore

Like the loose and aggressive in skate 3

Loose made like every trick look 1000 times better

[wraith snow]

U can throw that idea into #1062053586537820210 🙌

[vestal river]

Man you know for a fact ea doesn’t care enough about the players to read those

[scenic nova]

funny u say that

a LOT get checked

[wraith snow]

Incorrect, a lot has actually been checked through and gotten responses

Some even talked about in boardrooms, or shown off in small short clips on their socials

[icy pilot]

Incorrect, EA have clearly seen a pattern, especially with there multiplayer centric experiences in recent years, hell I hear even the new battlefield is taking a completely new approach to its development

I think this is the era where EA as a publisher realise the products they sell need heart before they can actually breath

Don't get me wrong, they could still mess up, everyone always has that ability, however the way they have treated skate is a completely new direction for a studio that big

[unborn snow]

is this the curse of starwats games? when ever a gamecompany gets a starwars franchise deal to make a game with the ip they absolutely eat bricks and become disliked?

[tiny prism]

Jedi survivor and fallen order were well received

Fallen order had launch issues that were ironed out honestly fairly quickly All things considered

Wish they'd stop crunching and let people finish games properly

[unborn snow]

survivor was a bit iffy due to the performance but yeah i agree with ya and i personally liked fallen order

[tiny prism]

I've played half of survivor and none of fallen order, but I'd like to revisit survivor again
Don't think it runs well on the steam deck tho

Oh man it's not lmao

Oh well

[unborn snow]

i just want to play titanfall 3

[tiny prism]

Apex legends is right there

:)

[unborn snow]

apex wont let me grind another player into fine mist like an a10 warthog though :c

[tiny prism]

Real

[dull pilot]

I actually read all of them, reply to many, and share them with the team.

[unreal finch]

I want titanfall 4 then!

Is apex legends actually tf3?

[dull pilot]

Apex Legends takes place 18 years after the events of Titanfall 2. Same universe.

[unreal finch]

Wow, i didnt know that

I wasnt ever really a fan of apex unfortunately, wasnt too huge on hero shooters in the first place and battle royal was kinda a dry genre for me at that point. All the streamers playing it tho does make it look super fun

[dull pilot]

The Lore is pretty interesting.
So apparently, the IMC were defeated by the Militia in the Frontier War, and with both factions unable to exert control over the war-ravaged Frontier, the birth of a competitive bloodsport known as "The Apex Games" was created by Kuben Blisk (according to legend) who was the leader of the original Apex Predators mercenary group and veteran of the Frontier War.

[dull pilot]

I'm sorta the same.
I played BF a ton from BF1942 to V, but the rise of Battle Royale and hero shooters sorta turned me off the FPS genre.

I now focus mainly on racing, skateboarding, RPGs (multiplayer like Diablo IV or single-player like Veilguard/Starfield) or story-driven single player games like Ghost of Tsushima and Cyberpunk 2077.

[unreal finch]

TF1 was always interesting to me, another futuristic shooter exclusive to xbox. Especially coming off of halo 4

TF1s multiplayer was super fun though, one of my favorite games

[dull pilot]

I actually got the Titanfall sytlized A tattoo 20 minutes before walking into the launch party with Xbox and Respawn. (Turns out the launch event was across the street from the tattoo shop I went to in Austin)

Loved that game/series. (Helped manage the social team for months)

[icy pilot]

ngl my personal favorite shooter series of all time were the old WW2 medal of honors

especially at the time where the ai in other fps games just "Died" the ai in MoH used to react to the shots which gave it more life

[dull pilot]

MOH series was great.

[unreal finch]

I forgot about medal of honor!

[icy pilot]

i also miss the command and conquer games

[unreal finch]

The 2010 reboot and warfighter were SOLID games, but unfortunately were overshadowed by Battlefield

[icy pilot]

especially the red alert series with its corny cut scenes

[unreal finch]

I wish they were backwards compatible…

Not many people know but a new MOH game was actually released a few years ago, developed by respawn too! However was only on the oculus quest 2

[icy pilot]

tbh nowadays imo, if you want a good shooter, you dont buy a mainstream one nowadays

Squad, Hell Let Loose, Insurgency Sandstorm all amazing shooters

all from smaller publishers like Team17

[unreal finch]

I gave in to black ops 6, only because it was on gamepass

[icy pilot]

same but only because i wanted to play a lil zombies too

[icy pilot]

ngl that main menu song for bo6.. kinda really blows tho xDF

[sudden warren]

Need to revive these

[honest mortar]

Someone save me at work

Got like 2 hours left

[waxen apex]

https://tenor.com/view/i-just-saved-your-life-jared-vasquez-jr-ramirez-manifest-i-rescued-you-gif-16687426

Hey look. Less than 2 hours now!

[honest mortar]

I wish it was 2 mins

Stuck here till 5 with like nothing to do

[icy pilot]

You can make it 2 min's, just depends how much you like your job 😂

[midnight spade]

Are we supposed to get like a confirmation email for the giveaway?

[honest mortar]

I need my pay still lol

[split sluice]

you'll get an eligibility email

[dull pilot]

if you were selected by the bot in #giveaways-and-contests , you will have received a role that gives you access to the contest verification channel and a DM to go there to provide your eligibility verification information via ticket.
if verified as eligible, you'll receive a link to the shipping form.

you don't get an email to confirm you joined the sweepstakes.

[midnight spade]

Okay I think i filled out the form just wanted to make sure I wasnt missing anything.

[dull pilot]

yeah, I got your info on 12/6. you're good to go.

[languid sky]

Connecting to EA Nation……

Forever and ever

[unborn snow]

Eepi

[gleaming peak]

hi

[unborn snow]

I have a decak idea for skate.

[unborn snow]

Ferret.

[languid sky]

So you want a ferret, as a skate.deck? Is that what you’re saying…

[valid crest]

i love skate. !!

[hoary sand]

i fw ferrets hard asf

[languid sky]

Welp, you guys asked for it so…..I’m making it rn, and it’s actually turning out legit, I didn’t think it would. Gimme a few too cook

[waxen apex]

Hi Nik

[waxen apex]

You should make the Skate logo or the flick it arrow in Legos

[languid sky]

Dudeeee, genius. Deal

[waxen apex]

You can buy sets of one color of Legos on Amazon and Walmart I believe

[graceful mist]

Oh I actually won? That never really happens to me lmao

[unborn snow]

I love snake!

[tiny prism]

Grats enjoy!

[graceful mist]

I think I won atleast I'm one of the 50 ppl that won in the giveaway

Idk if they just pick one out of the 50 ppl at random and then send the stuff to them

[tiny prism]

No, you won

[night palm]

Any idea of how long until a ticked is replied to?

[graceful mist]

Oh, neat hopefully the stuff gets here atleast before January 7th due to a personal situation that is happening to me that I would rather talk about in DMs

[unborn snow]

I think you can re route mail if needed?

[minor jasper]

.

[scenic gull]

I really hope the game has stuff commemorating the old games

Like old outfits and playlists

[empty coyote]

Dude same. It would be so sick with a few references here and there, especially in the soundtrack

I would scream if Surrender by Cheap Trick came on

Even the elevator music version from the skate 1 loading screens

[scenic gull]

It’s also mandatory and non negotiable that reda comes back

[unreal finch]

Slappy and shingo better be there 👆

[split sluice]

waddup skate fam

[sudden warren]

Yo!

[split sluice]

ayyy how you doin huck

[dull pilot]

I will be starting eligibility verification this morning in the tickets.

[night palm]

Perfect, forgot about the time diff haha

[dull pilot]

My plan is to have everything shipped with 2-4 day shipping before the 20th.

[dull pilot]

😉 no worries

[sudden warren]

Chillin, another work week!

[wraith snow]

@hidden bronze random thing, I just ordered food from a place called cafe down under, and they apparently in their restaurant have skateboards on the wall 😭

[wraith snow]

Same here! Is ur week gonna be busy? Or more chill? Haha

[sudden warren]

Busy in general but I'm off on Wednesday to relaxxxx

[dull pilot]

that's dope.

my favorite coffee spot in Long Beach is called Rad Coffee and it's got Creature decks on the wall - the classic monster series - and they play old punk music and love horror.

it's a vibe.

[sudden warren]

Departed Soles brewery near me is also very skate oriented. Just Google it, new Jersey, pics don't do it justice

[wraith snow]

That sounds so dope, it’s just unusual to see skateboards anywhere here, cause the city I moved to- to yk- study film, is built in such an unfriendly skateboard way haha

But the spot u mentioned- imma need here as well

[wraith snow]

I saw one pic and was sold, that looks like an awesome place

[sudden warren]

Especially if you like beer! Haha

[wraith snow]

I don’t haha, I’m more of a drinks person

But it does look cool haha

[sudden warren]

What does that mean?

Like cocktails?

[wraith snow]

Oh yeah sorry, we just call those drinks as a broad term

[sudden warren]

Totally cool! AFAIK, we call anything with alcohol a "drink"

[wraith snow]

Like- anything from sodas mixed with alcohol to, a lot of alcohols mixed together, to danish people, they’re all just classified as “drinks” haha

[sudden warren]

Like, let's go get a drink. That could be beer, wine, cocktail etc

[wraith snow]

Oh- we’re such a big beer country that beer is its own genre of drink

Prob why Carlsberg got so big

[sudden warren]

That's totally fair as well

[wraith snow]

Oh wow :O

Here people would more often go “let’s go get a beer” where if u say “drinks” it could be any form of alcoholic beverage apart from beer 😂

[sudden warren]

There's no real rule, but that's how it is around me I'd say. It could vary from person to person. Like if you hang out with people that strictly drink beer, you'll probably just say the word beer instead of drink. Idk it's not a strict thing

[wraith snow]

That’s actually cool haha

Damn. Countries and their way of using language amazes me at times 😂

[hallow grotto]

heyaa

[sudden warren]

It is funny. I'm always amazed at the Spanish language. To me as an outsider to the language, it seems SO different country to country

[hallow grotto]

2025 is going to be a CRAZY year with tech and games releasing!

[sudden warren]

Welcome ob!

[hallow grotto]

thank you! I'm not new tho xD

whats chilling/

[sudden warren]

Well, welcome to the chat TODAY haha

What ya looking forward to in 25?

[hallow grotto]

RTX 5000 series, especially the RTX 5090, Galaxy S25 Ultra, Assetto Corsa Evo, GTA 6, a brand new skatepark in my city (insanely huge for in my country!) and obviously Skate in early access!

[dull pilot]

Take pics of the skatepark when it’s done.

[hallow grotto]

Will do!

There are renders already!'

[hallow grotto]

Where can I post pics?

[dull pilot]

Depends on the pic. IRL skateboarding stuff is #irl-skate-pics

[hallow grotto]

Alright!

[grizzled hare]

if so when does the playtesting start for playstation?

[hallow grotto]

It'll be summer 2025 before we know it. Every time around new year, we realize "damn this year been so quick!"

[hallow grotto]

You can already sign yourself up for the console playtests!

Put in your preferred consoles in the preference tab when signing up. :D

[grizzled hare]

where do I sign up?

[zenith sand]

Check #frequently-asked-questions-and-more and https://www.ea.com/games/skate/faq for info on Playtesting.

(make sure you're signed up - and with your correct EA account - to ensure you get the sweet skate. Insider gear when Early Access drops in 2025!)

[hallow grotto]

^^

[grizzled hare]

thanks

do u get an email

or?

[grizzled hare]

?

[hallow grotto]

You'll get an email to let you know if you are accepted!

[grizzled hare]

thanky

[hallow grotto]

But there are new waves out regularly, so don't think you aren't chosen if you haven't gotten an email in a while!

[grizzled hare]

okie

[empty coyote]

I’m about to try my first lipslide today, wish me luck!

[hallow grotto]

damnnn! Good luck broski!

Lipslides are super sick on ledges too

[wraith snow]

Not to mention movies! A lot of good ones are on their way

[hallow grotto]

i knew i forgot something!! haha movies!

[sudden warren]

A new assetto?? Didn't know! New Tokyo extreme racer as well!

[hallow grotto]

Avatar 3, Captain America Brave New World, Superman, Jurassic World Rebirth, Snowwhite (looks interesting since it's a real life movie?!), How To Train Your Dragon, Karate Kid Legends, Zootopia 2, Mission Impossible, Spongebob, honorable mentions: Minecraft Movie 😭

I feel like the Minecraft movie is such a stupid take for such a big company, there are a million ways to make it bad, and from the trailer it already is. It's very hard to make such a complicated, open world sandbox no rule game based movie a good story with good characters since it's real life made. (Mojang's animation team is on top tho) so I hoped for an animation tbf!

[hallow grotto]

Yeaa! It's game changing. FINALLY! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0uOkigs9hnY

[scenic nova]

hopefully if im rich enough, a lil bit of travelling

[hallow grotto]

Things I'm really hyped about is freeroam and traffic (FINALLY!)

[hallow grotto]

Love travelling! Where would you like to go / are you definitely going to?

[wraith snow]

Not to mention

Elio (new Pixar film), Lilo & Stitch, the fantastic four, thunderbolts, five nights at Freddy’s 2 (this one should be a lot scarier than the first one)

And prob many more haha

[scenic nova]

i wanna go to spain again, australia again, maybe america to meet one of my friends

australia costs the most ik that for certain

thinking other european countries too

[hallow grotto]

damn how could i forgot FNAF 2!?

[scenic nova]

fnaf 2 😭

[hallow grotto]

Yea about the other ones, I heard about them but haven't seen much about them yet (Elio, fantastic four, thunderbolts)
I did watch Lilo And Stitch 1 tho, amazing!

[sudden warren]

In tokyo?

[wraith snow]

This lilo and stich movie will be live action- so I’m excited to see how it turns out (it will be my only Disney live action I’ll watch)

[hallow grotto]

have watched fnaf 1 in the cinema, pretty terrible "horror" movie but enjoyable story and plot and stuff. The scary part is a 2/10 but the rest is fine for FNAF standarts.

[hallow grotto]

dayum am excited as well then!

[hallow grotto]

Where do you currently live?

[scenic nova]

UK

[hallow grotto]

Ahh! Neigbors hahaha

I live in The Netherlands

[scenic nova]

oh sick

[hallow grotto]

The nkd gun 2025?! damn need to see that with my dad lmao!

We both loved those movies

Never been to the USA yet, but to the other countries you wanted to go to I have. So next is USA / Japan. Depends where life brings me

[hallow grotto]

No, Assetto Corsa Evo hahah

[hallow grotto]

but DAMN i need to play Tokyo Xtreme Racer!!

[sudden warren]

Oh that's interesting for assetto!

[hallow grotto]

Such a legendary game back in the day

[sudden warren]

For sure

[hallow grotto]

you know it's gonna be good since the devs are Japanese themselves

[sudden warren]

I wish I played more of the originals but I think this one will be sick

[hallow grotto]

Don't wish for it! You can still do it :D

[sudden warren]

Well yea. I have them haha. Just very odd style of gameplay it takes getting used fo

[low knoll]

what if skate isnt real

[sudden warren]

https://tenor.com/view/the-matrix-has-you-gif-3336575470240207957

[unreal finch]

Oops, misclick i meant to send the skate 1 sticker

[cobalt dust]

still a nice read tho lol

[waxen apex]

Hello

[untold coral]

I'd like to say that I am glad the developers are taking their time with this game

[viscid stream]

People always complain about the fact that developers rush out games but then complain when they take their time with development. I keep seeing people complain about the graphics even though it’s still in the playtest phase lol

[vocal thunder]

I’m curious, can you win more than one giveaway?

[waxen apex]

I believe you can as long as you don't win the same items you previously won

I would recommend reading the terms of the giveaways linked in the giveaway announcements. It'll probably say there

[dull pilot]

you can, unless it's for the same thing.

EXAMPLE:

let's say you won a Year 4/M-Corp deck sweeps.
you are not allowed to win any other sweeps that involves the Year 4 deck. but you CAN enter a sweeps for the gear (hoodie, t-shirt, beanie)

The sweeps are selected randomly by a bot, so there's no way it can be biased.

to avoid any kerfuffles, you may notice you have a role called Winter 2024 Sweeps.
that will prevent you from entering any t-shirt, hoodie, beanie sweeps .

[vocal thunder]

Makes a lot more sense now, thank you

[marble flame]

Hi Everyone!

[languid sky]

Congrats @hollow hazel on the W!!!

[split sluice]

wadup ygk

[marble flame]

sup swaggy, how's your day been?

[split sluice]

[marble flame]

feeling sick, hopefully the cold gone

[scenic nova]

jus put the fries in the bag bro

[void stag]

good luck yo!

[hollow hazel]

Thank you homeslice 🤜🏼🤛🏼

[hollow hazel]

Hey Jeff, just checking about the email I got about the winter giveaway that says XXL hoodies are limited, is that just a generic email to inform about the limited stock ? Just because I didn’t check XXL and wanted to make sure I don’t get a different size

[dull pilot]

correct. and I worked it out and got a quick shipment dispatching to cover the sweeps winners' selection so it's all good. (I just emailed everyone that had already submitted their info just in case so I didn't miss anyone)

[split sluice]

banned.

[wraith snow]

I’m with swaggy on this one

[solar panther]

hmm

Is there a playtest going on already?

[scenic nova]

rude

[hollow hazel]

Ah cool beans, thank you

[dull pilot]

just labeled your specific package, actually.

[hollow hazel]

Awesome ! Was lucky enough to win the year 3 deck and I was so stoked to see my username on the box 😂 thank you for the extra little bit of joy

[wraith snow]

Ay Jeff, Can u spoil something? WILL WE… get to see the Santa costume this year?

/beard + red cap combo

Haha

[dull pilot]

I mean, I've got the pic saved on my phone. LOL

[waxen apex]

👀

[raven imp]

vampire in the moonlight countin money up

[wraith snow]

Yea but- will it get recreated haha

[wraith snow]

Robert pattinson living the life I guess lmao

[wraith snow]

[rancid timber]

Time to play my favourite morning activity

About a good 40 rounds of "Will my Xbox One actually boot?"

It lives

I actually screamed in my room when it booted lol

[wraith snow]

Pfhhh, me but with “will premiere pro crash?” Instead haha

[rancid timber]

Real

[waxen apex]

Drip so hard its frozen in time

[rancid timber]

Also RIP, did not get either of the sweepstakes

[empty coyote]

Same with my 11 year old xbox one.. very loud. Not louder than a ps4 from around the same time tho

My PC sounds like a jet engine when it boots 😂

[scenic gull]

been tryna sign up for PT on console and every time i goto the sign in screen for that specific consoles website, i get an error 😢😢

[misty fiber]

Been listening to " I THINK" by Tyler, the Creator a lot recently - hoping it's in the games soundtrack 🙏

[lucid crag]

you guys think we’ll get a trailer at the game awards on thursday? maybe announcing the console playtest date or something?

[languid sky]

The Lego.Logo and Lego.Deck are in Creative Chat!! 👌

[wraith oxide]

Yer hot y’all doing

[ripe bison]

what happened to the skate playtest

[scenic nova]

nothing

[scenic nova]

😭

my xb1 used to give me errors just for turning on

[sudden warren]

Oh noooo

Crazy how unreliable tech is these days

[honest mortar]

I remember my Xbox one would sound like a plane taking off when I would start skate 3. But was only for the start up.

https://tenor.com/view/xbox-gta-gta-san-andreas-gta-sa-xbox-controller-gif-20772264

[sudden warren]

My ps5 was for the first 30 seconds of boot up

[honest mortar]

Nintendo 64 you throw that down the steps still working fine

[sudden warren]

Mine i have to clean the pins every time but beyond that, yes works great

[honest mortar]

https://tenor.com/view/the-goldbergs-nintendo-blow-gif-13223329

[sudden warren]

Lmao exactly

[honest mortar]

The good old days.

[left latch]

We need early access tomorrow 🥲 2025 seems so far away

[teal orchid]

Just stop thinking about it and have your notificiations on

It will come faster that way and you will know when it launches

feel faster

[fair heart]

Does anybody know why my ps4 controller isnt being detected?

[tiny prism]

By

[dull pilot]

I'm hoping you're not asking questions in the public Discord re: playtesting/playtesting issues when you should be posting issues, bugs, feedback (if you're a playtester) on the appropriate private forums playtesters have been provided a link to via email.

[raven imp]

oh the console playtėst already started

[dull pilot]

no, it hasn't.

[sudden warren]

Sup my skaters?

[waxen apex]

What's good, Huck?

[sudden warren]

Looking forward to 5pm

[waxen apex]

Is that when you get off work?

[sudden warren]

Haha yes

[waxen apex]

W

[sudden warren]

2 hours 14 minutes

Not counting or anything

[waxen apex]

Definitely not 🙄

[fluid siren]

@waxen apex you run Xbox?

[waxen apex]

I have a few Xboxes but I dont play online

[fluid siren]

Aw

[waxen apex]

I saw you need help with achievements. You could try reaching out to Huckman. He tries to help people from time to time

[fluid siren]

Someone reached out and we got a lil group going I just wanted to add you on Xbox

Due to being one of the 2 people I’ve talked to the most on here hahahah

@sudden warren the other one

[waxen apex]

I dont add many people because I dont play online. Its usually the close friends or people I've known for a long time

[fluid siren]

Excuses Kaiza nothing but excuses…..

[waxen apex]

Thats what I do best

[waxen apex]

You having a good day?

[fluid siren]

Yes I’ve been on my skate 3 kick again

I’m at school studying for finals but I wanna play someone in S.K.A.T.E.

[fluid siren]

What about you

[waxen apex]

Not a bad day by any means. Listening to The Cranberries and about to play RDR2

[sudden warren]

Yea i can help tomorrow

[fluid siren]

Good artists and great game. I can confidently say rockstar has never made a game I didn’t love

[waxen apex]

Same here!

[visual oracle]

Manhunt.

[sudden warren]

Thrasher skate and destroy.

Just naming rockstar games?

[hollow hazel]

Table Tennis

[dull pilot]

Max Payne

[scenic gull]

Man hunt 1,2

[simple remnant]

has anyone been selected for playtesting yet?

[dull pilot]

um, yeah.
folks have been playtesting since Sept.

but they can't talk about it, including if they got selected, because that would violate the confidentiality agreement and result in a mute, timeout, or ban from the server and possible action against their EA account including removal from playtesting.

[simple remnant]

ohh ok so how would i know if i get selected for console playtesting?

[dull pilot]

#1214598970370957374

[simple remnant]

thanks

[raw musk]

hey guys, I'm just a little confused and frustrated and a little mad as to why skate. will release on mobile but not switch?? I mean its really convenient it releases on switch becuasee of portability and the fact that there is cross progression? I'm not fighting but I just want to let the devs know this is NOT on

[raven imp]

i know skate. is gonna be free but i wanna buy it

[split sluice]

its probabbly cuz switch would is the least popular console , so without working on a switch release , they can focus more on the more popular consoles (hope that made sense)

it could also just be nintendo wanna deal with "skate" maybbe

[exotic cargo]

surprised that would be the least popular console. Figured it would be more of a processing power thing and switch might come later

[vale laurel]

Yoo, just wondering if the franksgiving contest winner stuff is still be sent out, saw some people have received it but I've yet to get an shipping email that I've gotten from previous contest wins

[exotic cargo]

Has anyone played skate 2 and 3 lately? I recently played skate 3 but then picked up skate 2 today and remember how much more I liked it. Is there general consensus on this? What is the difference here? Skate 2 just feels so much better. How does the new skate feel?

[knotty mist]

how do we get to the secret discord

[stoic axle]

I have never played Skate 2 you think I should pick it up?

[dull pilot]

you don't talk about it in the public Discord.
those who are invited to playtest can view the post in the private forums and apply to join.

[dull pilot]

it'll be there Monday, Dec 16 before 6PM

[vale laurel]

Thank you!!

[exotic cargo]

As someone who hasn't played any skate in like 10 years, I just played a decent amount of skate 3 and it was great, but then just tried skate 2 again and it just feels and looks better to me. Doesnt feel like its aged any worse than skate 3. I like the fisheye camera and color contrast more in skate 2 and the tricks seem easier or tighter to do. So yes, I would recommend it if you can. Would love to hear other peoples thoughts on it though and how it compares to the new skate

[stoic axle]

I’ll give it a shot then was getting bored of skating the same places in skate 3 anyway tbh (it’s not bad it’s just I’ve done it so much now )

[coral kite]

Yo

Is this a discord for skate 3?

And I need help , my friend can’t join but 2 of my other friends can

[unreal finch]

A deluxe version will probably release

And im hoping they do a physical release as well…

[dull pilot]

it's for the whole skate. franchise.

#skate-3 is where Skate 3 stuff is chatted about.

[vestal river]

I really hope cosmetic stuff isn’t too microtransaction heavy

Really don’t want this game to end up like riders republic

I have faith

[waxen apex]

I like the feel of Skate 1 and 2 more

Which one

[rancid timber]

30 times for this morning lol

It still lives

[stark flicker]

man i wanna playtest so bad dude

[raven imp]

i doubt

[silent dew]

even floooooww 🗣️

big great question here
will skate be available on linux?

[sudden warren]

Id read your emails again...

[sudden warren]

#frequently-asked-questions-and-more

[torpid siren]

lemme check

[silent dew]

uh ohhhh

[silent dew]

only thing that's related is:

What platforms will skate. be available on?
Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, PC, and we are currently exploring mobile.

PC is vague, it includes windows, linux and macos 😭
mobile (if its about android) is basically linux, so idk...

[sudden warren]

That's all they've shared at the moment. I hear ya but for now that's what we've got

[silent dew]

ye alright thank you

[scenic nova]

forgettin bout chromeos 😭

lets be real tho, skate is NOT running on chromeos 😂

[silent dew]

real

[silent dew]

we'll never know...

[vale anchor]

For PC I always just assume it means windows unless stated otherwise. That tends to be it's typical use

[silent dew]

yeah lmao

hope skate will support linuk

(that will require EA app to run on linux natively first of all...)

[vale anchor]

It's going to be on steam as well

[silent dew]

all ea games download ea app

so it doesnt matter really

[gleaming sequoia]

hey hey!

you're excited, I'm excited, but that's no reason to break the NDA/confidentiality agreement.
this ain't the place to chat about the skate. Playtest non-public info (build details, emails sent, having access - none of it is bueno, compadre!)

if you're in, you're in and know where to tell the devs about bugs, issues, and give some feedback on the game.

don't get bent of shape if one of these other community members reminds you - better than a mod smacking you with a warning or worse, amirite?

[silent dew]

who

[dull pilot]

who, who?

[silent dew]

guh

[hallow grotto]

[flat pollen]

it depends if the devs are going to support it or no or if there is something that prevents it from running by a compatibility layer (in case it isn't supported natively) like most of the multiplayer games

[radiant latch]

I didn’t know that MacOS was an option I need to tell my friend this

[silent dew]

no

its probably just windows

i don't know

[radiant latch]

Gotcha I was getting excited. Surprising a lot of ppl have MacOS but don’t have the ability to play a lot of games

@dull pilot are you going to the game awards this year?

[silent dew]

lol real

[dull pilot]

nah.
I'm gonna chill at home and get ready for my quick trip to Austin to see my nieces, then home on Dec 16 to start my winter PTO (until Jan 6).

[radiant latch]

@dull pilot How lucky my PTO doesn’t start til next Friday I won’t be back until Jan 2nd

[scenic gull]

I got SO excited but looks like there is no macOS support announced, yet. I prefer my windows box but sometimes I want to play native games on my mobile beast of a mac

So far, last games I have native macOs were both from a decade ago, Max Payne 3 and Sleeping Dogs lmao

We did get Stray recently! That game I recommend for a good but laid back linear story

[unreal finch]

Max payne 3 is one of my favorite games ever, though i think the macos port is delisted now because of modern oses not supporting it anymore

[scenic gull]

ahhh I just had this realization again the other day when I went to install it 😭

everyone was just upset at Max being in South America. That is bizzare as hell

Well ignore that, and the writing is some of the best work by Dan Houser

[scenic gull]

Reading up on chat, looks like something went down 👀

[dull pilot]

at this time, it's not an option.

[scenic gull]

nooo, i guess for my mac I should just dual boot it. But at least Skate. will be on mobile, it will be on console, my windows build, and next gen and... and..

lol

maybe nintendo down the line 👀

[unreal finch]

Hey jeff, what is being used to ship the giveaway items?

[scenic nova]

carrier pigeon i think

[dull pilot]

FedEx.

I'm waiting for labels to ship out the first 44, then the rest will ship next week (since there were 2 sweeps of 50ish winners)

once it's picked up from my house by FedEx, you should get a tracking number via email.

[unreal finch]

Okay, thanks

[unreal finch]

Always a possibility

[waxen apex]

Hello 👋🏻

[scenic gull]

Wassup

[waxen apex]

Not much. You?

[signal hazel]

yeah rip skate

damn i thought it was coming

[hollow hazel]

Me when the game without a release date doesn’t release

[fluid siren]

Anyone know if it’s possible to get the Xbox achievement sellout! Where you create a logo and put it on your skater?

[scenic nova]

u would need to (opposite of) export someones skater

!mport

[hidden bronze]

Well I just possibly lost a pair of $170 Nike SB’s in transit 😭

[scenic nova]

damn

usd or aud?

[hallow grotto]

how?

[hidden bronze]

I sold them on alias, and they somehow got lost in transit to be verified
So I’ve gotta file a police report and other stuff

[hidden bronze]

USD

[scenic nova]

dayum

[hidden bronze]

They were on their way to be verified by alias last I had checked, and now they’ve been lost

[sleek ore]

I've been checking my emails daily lol

And playing skate 3 on 360 as practice incase my numbers are called.

[wraith snow]

well, the considered term "fall" is very soon over (i believe its a specific date in december that counts as the official end)

so id keep checking emails, checking ur ea preferences on the ea play,testing website to make sure ur answers are updated and match the systems ur able to play on and what u like to do when u game

(i believe the answers matter in context to whos chosen for the specific tests, but im not 100% sure)

[sleek ore]

Sheet sorry I just read the playtest page and idk if me asking is against those rules. So ima just delete that an apologies if it was

[dull pilot]

it's fine, bud.

console invites should be going out soon - so keep an eye on your inbox. (that's all I can say today)

[left latch]

Can someone message me when the console playtest is here I think I missed the others idk

[sleek ore]

That's really all I was wondering. Thank you. I had my world rocked. (Assault from a drug addict) And lost track of dates. Lol had bigger things to focus on lol but I got really sad thinking I missed it lol

[wraith snow]

questions related to when tests start can be alot a times, but u havent shared any information on if u have gotten an email, or shared anything thats not officially said/released by full circle

so ur question was more than fine, in here there is alot of those questions and thats the only bad part haha

cause the only thing the devs, community managers and people can say is "wait, stay patient, check ur emails, read ur email all the way through, wish for the best"

cause no one can sadly give u more information, tho i bet they wish they could give u an easy answer

thx for coming to my ted talk haha

https://tenor.com/view/peter-griffin-peter-griffin-yapping-yap-yapping-pretentious-gif-17637209908620689237

[sleek ore]

I also feel bad. Cause I'm very much overwhelmed by discord. And regret not getting into it when it started. To be more well versed.

[dull pilot]

I mean, I COULD tell y'all everything, and it would be the last time I get to use my work phone or work laptop.

I like paying my bills. My wife likes me being able to pay bills. BUT IT DRIVES ME CRAZY KNOWING WHAT I KNOW AND CAN'T SAY.

but this ain't my first rodeo - so I suffer in silence - keyword SILENCE.

besides, surprises are fun. THEY ARE, DON'T ARGUE. LOL

[wraith snow]

i remember feeling the same way alot of years ago when people were moving from skype to teamspeak, and then onto discord- it 100% took a long time for me to get the feel of too

like when i now just speak off the top of my head and go "yea i talk on discord etc. etc." to people from my family theyre like "dizkord?" and then i go "modern skype for internet nerds" and then i get the classic "ahhhh of course"

haha

[sleek ore]

Oh I know all about ndas. Lol that's why I don't push. I 💯 get it. And have suffered too lol

[wraith snow]

i bet there are times where someone gets an idea like

"what if skate. got insert cool idea"
and u have to sit like "brilliant idea member of the community"
knowing it has prob been made, or is something the team would love haha

[dull pilot]

would look silly to leak something with all my EA, Battlefield, skate. tattoos.

what a awkward conversation looking for a new job

Them: Dude, you have a lot of gaming ink. Did you work in the industry?
Me: Yeah, and after I got all these tattoos, I leaked something.
Them: Idiot.
Me: Facts. Got a job?
Them: Nah, fam. You're literally sus.

[sleek ore]

Lmao.

[dull pilot]

oh dood. it happens more than you think.

and for a split-second we're like "where are the beans and who spilled them?!?"

then it's like "dude, they're gonna go nuts when we show them."

[wraith snow]

skate. was the first time i ever signed an NDA for anything, so i was like

"huuuuuh? bruh, this is so complicated"
but after awhile i just realised its just advanced house rules

"dont use ur phone at the table" = "don't spoil anything that the team hasnt officially said"

etc.

[sleek ore]

Especially when you surround yourself at work with people that all know. You get comfy. Then have to pull the reins when it clicks that it's a secret.

[wraith snow]

DUUUDE, that sounds so fun but annoying, its like being apart of a secret club thats gonna blow our minds later on

thats how i feel when we make projects at film school lately, atm we're pretending to be 3 small companies in groups of 8, having to make 3 video projects, and knowing we cant tell the other groups about our awesome films but them having to wait for our fake oscar show is exciting

[dull pilot]

i almost put myself in a situation years ago. chatting to a colleague at an event and (I'm a loud dude) and he was like "shhhh. eyes and ears" and we looked up to see a couple podcasters and journalists leaning towards us.

so I got REALLY LOUD
"anyways, that's why my toe is inverted. genetics and bad shoes."

it's like being a video game spy.

hahah

[sleek ore]

That's sounds really cool. I am definitely a cinophile and a bit jelly. I regret not going thru school

[dull pilot]

that's super cool.

[wraith snow]

i love filmmaking, i like to think ive been a little filmmaker since i was 5, and tbh, getting to film school was super tough- like damn its hard work, both physically and mentally, but ive had alot of tough times and can easily tell ive never been as fond of a school as filmschool, its like my life finally found its place

[wraith snow]

for sure!! i actually just applied at a film company for a potential student job there, and then i found out one of the company starters actually started his filmmaking journey doing skate films! and i instantly went home and made my application, cause that guy was just so awesome

actually gave me vibes of u, cause he wore a cap the same way as you haha

[dull pilot]

it's because he's hip and withit.
very demure, very mindful.

hahahah

[wraith snow]

but also, just like skating, its never too late to start film school, im turning 19 in 10 days, and in my class there are people who are 35, and we all get along, so go for it, if the dream is still there!

[dull pilot]

i'm gonna be 50 in 3 years and 6 months. it's never too late, unless I wanted to try to get on the 30 under 30 list for gaming. HAHAHA

[wraith snow]

truly, but not just demure but exquisite even!

[sleek ore]

The last thing I filmed/photographed was a skate session of some local skaters. I was new to the city. And it's the one group I knew I'd vibe with.

[wraith snow]

pfhhhh, skate. community manager, creator of the battle dab, owner of the skate. servers cutest dog, AND A COMEDIAN?! can we handle any more? haha

[wraith snow]

thats siiiick!

[dull pilot]

i'm also a musician, published poet, and I can REALLY cook.

[sleek ore]

Lots of fun filming skate related stuff. I can live thru them. My irl skate skills are -1. Lol

[dull pilot]

that's why I play skateboarding games. bones too old to break again, but I live vicariously through digital Jeff. hahaah

[wraith snow]

published poet?! damn?! thats actually so dope, and i know u can cook, ive seen the amazing stuff that makes me jealous in #food haha

[sleek ore]

Exactly why I'm so excited for this game!! I literally bought a 360 a couple months ago just so I could buy skate 3 again and play lol (and guitar hero lol cause guitar skills irl also -1 ) lmao

Also wanted to get some of these games before they become outrageous like some of these older games. I'm fighting the use of the word retro lol. It hurts to think 360 is considered that now. Ugh

[dull pilot]

I wrote a poem back when I was 16 and it got put in an Anthology of poems when I was 18. Another I wrote for a friend (I called the style mirroring - the last word of the first sentence was the first word of the next sentence) and she got it published in her school's yearbook, then it go published in another anthology.

@wraith snow I'm gonna post a pic of Kuma at daycare in #pets 😄

[wraith snow]

oh wow!

[wraith snow]

WOOHOO!

[waxen apex]

Such a wholesome convo. This is how I hope this server is when the game drops and people are super active in here

[silent dew]

real

[sleek ore]

Ya. I usually don't expect such a chill group. Definitely glad to be a part of the fan base.

[fallow oracle]

2 people are in a hidden VC in this channel lol

[waxen apex]

We're glad you're here

[fluid siren]

There should be a skate 3 S.K.A.T.E. Contest giveaway

[dull pilot]

Player council/Design Council folks (aka Locals)

[abstract shuttle]

blink twice if the pigeons in san vansterdam are m-corp spy drones

[abstract shuttle]

im not sure any of the skate games have had an update since 2010

[scenic nova]

This should be part of the lore

😂

[scenic gull]

Do I have to connect my psn to get invited to the playtest?

[uncut pier]

I hope skate. Will be at game awards tonight

[scenic gull]

What is this slowmode thing? 😅

I have something that is completely inoffensive by any means but it keeps getting blocked..

I wanted to say that I'll probably never play SkaterXl once skate. drops 😆

[abstract shuttle]

just stops constant spam in chat, limits user messages to only one every 5 seconds

[scenic gull]

Understood, but it was blocking my first message weirdly..

[dull pilot]

It needs to be connected to the account you signed up with at EA Playtesting, yes.

[viscid stream]

O yeah it is tonight huh

I’m doubtful but I’d like to see some announcement.

[gleaming sequoia]

hey hey!

you're excited, I'm excited, but that's no reason to break the NDA/confidentiality agreement.
this ain't the place to chat about the skate. Playtest non-public info (build details, emails sent, having access - none of it is bueno, compadre!)

if you're in, you're in and know where to tell the devs about bugs, issues, and give some feedback on the game.

don't get bent of shape if one of these other community members reminds you - better than a mod smacking you with a warning or worse, amirite?

[fallow oracle]

anyone played the game yet ?

[vale anchor]

If they did they couldn't tell you

[radiant latch]

I have played “A” game before, yes

That game is Sonic the Hedgehog

[honest mortar]

Did Triple H come out with something?

https://tenor.com/view/triple-h-entrance-wwe-wrestling-mad-gif-9903732926629229586

[honest mortar]

Sucks when you dont jump on skate 3 so long you get that 15 min load screen for your profile

[hallow grotto]

hahahah

[thick karma]

Are there any devs of the game in this server?

The urge to tag one of them but at the same time knowing what the consequences could be 💀

[scenic nova]

yes

[scenic gull]

sometimes they do kick it in the game! like the sound dev. I have mad respect for that because skating sounds are asmr so it is vital to get right

[summer cradle]

When's "tonight"? I'm in Cairo so completely different timezone here. (Not the one in Illinois)

[viscid stream]

2 hours from now

[summer cradle]

Dang, already? It feels like they js announced early access yesterday. Can't wait for it in 2025.

[viscid stream]

Wat

I’m talking about the Game Awards lol

[dull pilot]

https://tenor.com/view/robert-deniro-meet-the-fockers-point-looking-at-you-im-watching-you-gif-5145428

[summer cradle]

Wait we're not talking about the playtests?

[viscid stream]

No

[summer cradle]

Lol

[viscid stream]

The Game Awards is in 2 hours

[summer cradle]

Game awards is gonna lame

[viscid stream]

What I was saying is I think there will be an announcement at the Game Awards lol

[summer cradle]

Highly doubt GTA news

[viscid stream]

Nah it’s still a year too early

[flat pollen]

tga should be 2am for you if you mean cairo in egypt (1am for me crying in north africa)

[viscid stream]

2:30 AM

[summer cradle]

Hello fellow north african

[viscid stream]

TGA is mostly game announcements and ads rather than awards anyways

[summer cradle]

Well that's the exciting part for lol

For me*

[viscid stream]

I think Wukong wins GOTY though

If the Elden Ring DLC somehow wins then GOTY becomes even more meaningless

[summer cradle]

I don't care about the actual game awards, or any awards for that matter. Most media is subjective. You can't really determine the "best" movie, game, show, or song, and so on.

[hollow hazel]

Indiana Jones game takes best chest hair award, mark my words

[summer cradle]

For me I enjoyed astrobot the most

[summer cradle]

Tbh I didn't notice that game launched until 2 days after release

Xbox has given up on marketing

Anyone seen their last campaign? This is an xbox

[dull pilot]

I wouldn't say they've "given up", but reprioritized where their marketing spend would be is more close to what's happened. (this is my personal opinion)

[summer cradle]

They're begging you to not buy their products

[summer cradle]

It'd only make sense if your product does the marketing for itself. Like, I never see ads for the new iPhone, coca cola, rolex, Lego, Heinz and the list goes on.

I feel for game consoles marketing is crucial. The ps4's "for the players" campaign singe handedly won them the 8th generation.

Xbox are focusing more on software nowadays which isn't gonna be profitable in both short and long term lol

Pc is better anyways haha

[hollow hazel]

Huh when iPhone release a new model I see their ads absolutely everywhere

[summer cradle]

I mean, you're probably in the us. Egypt hasn't been an officially supported region since the iPhone 13. Still, people line up for it here every year. I genuinely haven't seen a single apple ad for 4 years.

On the other hand, samsung here has flooded the streets with all kind of fancy advertisements and they are still unable to catchup with apple when it comes to high end options. But they basically dominate the low/mid range here.

[hollow hazel]

I’m not in the US but alright

[summer cradle]

Idk bro give me a break you get what I mean😭😭

[flat pollen]

are the samsung ads for flagships? because in here they're just ads for the chapest ones (a05/a15)

focusing on storage and aesthetics more than the specs

[summer cradle]

I want to say that ever since the S22 or so, they have dialed back on advertising their flagships. They noticed it was pointless, and the low/mid-range market was more lucrative, anyway.

[summer cradle]

Yeah, same here. A0 and A1 series.

But i also see advertising for the A5X, they position it as the "ultimate midrange phone"

Cus it is icl

[flat pollen]

and also people in here go for iphones specifically the iphone 11 because it's "better" but they were just using some low budget phones from either samsung (overpriced) or some other companies

[flat pollen]

it's overpriced lol

[summer cradle]

Its 330 here once converted to usd

I think it's well priced tbh

[flat pollen]

$570 converted in here

[viscid stream]

I don’t think it’s them giving up but they’re definitely less focused on making the console itself the main focus. Gamepass is clearly making them the most money.

They’re trying to become the Netflix of video games, and it’s clearly working.

[viscid stream]

I agree. I just watch the Game Awards to see the announcements. That’s what most people tune in for now.

[summer cradle]

Oh damn, yeah that's way overpriced. Yet again, the purchasing power of the Egyptian pound is a lot less than Morocco's.

I use the big mac index when converting currency

If i want to know the value of items in different countries that is

[summer cradle]

Is it working?

[flat pollen]

why

did it get deleted xd

no idea which word triggered the message to be deleted

[dull pilot]

it was the word import.

[flat pollen]

oh

[viscid stream]

They spent around a billion to get games on Gamepass and they made around $4+ billion back

[flat pollen]

i'm from Tunisia actually but mostly shipping fees are the ones making the prices too high especially electronics . still ,the economy got worse by time

[dull pilot]

that could be regional based on market share, etc.
targeted marketing is more critical now that mass spend that may catch a few.

it's like fishing.
you could throw bait in the water and use a net to catch whatever you can - spending a lot on bait and definitely getting some fish. or you can select specific bait that will focus on certain fish you KNOW are hungry that are almost a guaranteed catch.

[flat pollen]

gotta wait for thegameawards (it's midnight already)

[dry swan]

yo

should i buy skate 3 for my xbox, or use an emulator on my pc

[raven imp]

do both

[dry swan]

can you play player made maps on xbox

@raven imp

[dull pilot]

I'd recommend reading the #rules re: discussion of non-official emulators (as it's not allowed).

if you're referring to Xbox Cloud (which is emulation), that's official. anything else, not discussed here.

[dry swan]

ye im reffereing to the cloud

and i think playstation has one as well

[dull pilot]

the Skate. franchise isn't on PS Remote play.

[waxen apex]

Hi

[dry swan]

oh alright, one question by the way, can i acess player made maps like the ones youtuber use on my xbox one s?

[dull pilot]

we have a section for #skate-custom-parks, so yep!

[dry swan]

on xbox one?

if thats the case ill teleport to nearby store to cop a disc copy

[waxen apex]

Xbox and PlayStation both

[dry swan]

im sold 🫡

[honest mortar]

I'm really mad I just found out skate. not gonna be on the GameCube..

Hopefully on the DreamCast then

[summer cradle]

Yeah, you're 100% correct. Maybe I'm just having trouble seeing bcz I'm not part of the intended/targeted audience haha

[waxen apex]

Rip

[waxen apex]

Hoping for Sega Genesis

[summer cradle]

Skate on a console without an analog stick😭

[waxen apex]

It's a mental game. Stare at the black screen and imagine playing

[summer cradle]

Game awards is so lame

[cold fulcrum]

Dang I have to remote play mine so I can play my ps5 I’m broke and the hdmi isn’t fixed

That how I play my games

[unreal finch]

Skate 1960s edition, where the only goal is pushing

[fresh carbon]

Is "skate" getting mentioned in game awards?

[raven imp]

i mean it’s not out yet

[mint seal]

I’m surprised there hasn’t been a new board room video been looking forward to one

[flat pollen]

nope it didn't

[stable galleon]

Yeah unfortunately no mention at the game awards was hoping they were there

[waxen apex]

Same. I'm excited for the next one

[abstract shuttle]

send it

[delicate field]

Hi, could anyone help me with my final 2 achievements on Xbox? It’s the ranked solo win and any 5 ranked challenges

I’ve already done the team otl so that might count towards the 5

[nimble skiff]

hello guys

[delicate field]

Wsg Dan

[inland solar]

Has anybody got the console playtest yet?

Is this not the discussion tab?

[empty coyote]

there is a non-disclosure agreement for playtesters. if anyone got access to the console playtest they wouldn't be able to say, unfortunately.

yeah yeah, frank. shouldn't you be playing golf or something?

[silent dew]

lmao

[solemn stream]

EA sent me 7 emails all talking about the PT some even said your invited but its also "not confirmation your invited" so i just check my EA account often just hate i cant tell if its the real deal or not

and the NDA makes it impossible to know who to ask about the stuff.. so we wait for 2025!

[left latch]

I want to play skate 3 so bad right now I never played that one

[rancid timber]

Howdy, fellas

What's happening?

[quartz tundra]

send an email to the ea support email or something

[dull pilot]

EA Support doesn’t handle playtesting and can’t assist on getting access.

[rancid timber]

I'm currently having a meltdown over the condition of my friend's fridge, and the amount of mouldy food items in it

I'm actually screaming at him over text

I also want to state that, at some point this year, I was considering moving in with him

[vale anchor]

"was"

On the other hand, it sounds like he could desperately use a friend like you

[rancid timber]

Yeah

Heavy emphasis

[rancid timber]

He also repeats the most immensely annoying copypastas

[quartz tundra]

is there an email for playtest support seperately then?

[vale anchor]

NVM boss man got this

[vale anchor]

Pros and cons eh?

[rancid timber]

Very few pros, if I'm gonna be brutally and completely honest lmao

I would not live with him

[dull pilot]

You can reply to the email address that sends out playtesting emails.
Please note: if you are invited you would have access to the build in the EA App and access to the private forums. It can be confusing (even frustrating) when you’re invited to register - which is most likely the email you’ve been sent - but it doesn’t guarantee access.

[quartz tundra]

makes sense, thanks

I got over 144 hrs on NMS

according to my xbox I'm 409 hours in 👀

I want to check how many hours my save file says I have played because something doesn't seem to be adding up there

Check #frequently-asked-questions-and-more and https://www.ea.com/games/skate/faq for info on Playtesting.

(make sure you're signed up - and with your correct EA account - to ensure you get the sweet skate. Insider gear when Early Access drops in 2025!)

[vapid obsidian]

Check my registration and click accept 🥸

[waxen apex]

Sir that's a bot

[vapid obsidian]

It was ironic

[radiant latch]

If we got it we can’t tell you about it.

[raven imp]

can we talk about playtėst in private messages tho ?

[dull pilot]

No, you are required to abide by the NDA. You can post on the private forums or if you’re invited to the private playtest Discord for social, you can chat there.

[dull pilot]

console testing hasn’t started.

[exotic cargo]

Huh, I guess when I was asking about how it feels compared to skate 2 or 3 no one can comment

[unreal finch]

If i had to guess, alot smoother than those games

I hope the series x and ps5 runs the game at 120fps

[dull pilot]

correct. no one can share details publicly without possibly getting removed from playtesting until we go live with Early Access.

sorry!

[radiant latch]

I can say from the videos that are public it looks like Skate 3 but better 🙂

[honest mortar]

Am I allow to tell people I played Skate 3?

[scenic nova]

nope sorry

what the heck is skate 3

are u breaking NDA?

smh

[raven imp]

this is against the rules 🙅‍♀️, it’s just like you tell somebody you play greed island❗️

[low knoll]

dear skate devs, please add a banana costume, i will spend all the micro transactions in the world to skate around in a banana costume

[iron ruin]

Costumes sound like they could be a very fun addition

[graceful herald]

Or maybe mmm possibly a big steak costume

Bring back cheat codes omg those were so funnn

[viscid stream]

Thar She Blaows is the worst mission ever

[violet tapir]

That mission makes me want to cry

[viscid stream]

I Killed It a little after sending that lol

[worthy rune]

i actually think its the hardest one in the game, either that or the art gallery one where you have to nose manual across that ledge

modern manual its called or something

[viscid stream]

It wasn’t really hard more so tedious

[worthy rune]

try killing modern manual it sucks

[cerulean relic]

Might have to play some skate 2 again... but i wanna 100% it, what are some things that count towards 100%?

[silent dew]

best suggestion

[abstract shuttle]

i'd love to skate around as a giant hand, the hand was my favourite unlockable character in tony hawks underground 2

just let me be a big fingerboard 🙏

[exotic cargo]

So console playtest is happening next week unless there is a delay? Fall ends on the 21. Official site says it’s happening in Fall. I doubt I’ll get in but hope it will be accompanied with some news or updates

Hi Luna. How you doing?

[wraith snow]

Good! “Recovering” from a Christmas party with my film class yesterday, so I’ve been munching amazing food and hydrating a lot haha

Also got the best cup of tea in my life I think

[dull pilot]

What clips? Community clips of the game once NDA is lifted?

[cosmic scroll]

Yes , either once DNA is lifter or either if we could send to a certain official email , and get selected , i don't know .

[uncut pier]

When does Xbox play test start

[tiny prism]

Whenever the console playtest starts

[uncut pier]

They said about it being in December but I don't remember them saying a certain day

[tiny prism]

They didnt

[waxen apex]

Sounds fun! Congrats on the tea

[exotic cargo]

I’m betting on early next week

Still technically Fall which the official site says it’s coming out in. Dropping it Tuesday gives a few days after to work out any major server issues or bugs, then people can enjoy it over the holiday and the devs can take some time off as well. Then they come back right at the start of the new year to a laundry list of feedback to work on. This is all just wishful thinking though

[dull pilot]

I mean, I run content contests for Skate 3 - so you know I’m gonna wanna see y’all’s clips for skate. - I can’t wait! I wish I could talk about the silly things that may/may not have happened to me if - hypothetically- I was playtesting. But we can all chat about it when Early Access drops.

[unreal sapphire]

I’m gonna get so many clips once early access happens. Waiting for this game brings me back to being a kid waiting to go to GameStop and get the new skate game the day it dropped

[viscid stream]

Does this mean console play test invites have been sent out

https://tenor.com/view/goku-prowler-stare-meme-angry-gif-14312537171363175004

Embedded fail

[dull pilot]

no, it's a message that is posted every 24 hours because too many folks don't read their emails and come talking about console testing, getting access, or asking questions that should only be discussed in the private forums.

(rather have a repeating message than have to get folks in trouble with the mods and whatnot, y'know?)

[waxen apex]

[waxen apex]

Hi Jeff. How you doing today?
