Sup

[dull pilot]

Check your spam, junk folders too.

[late minnow]

I love it when people don't read the rules it's very entertaining

[open osprey]

That it is

[hybrid pawn]

Yeah

[lucid portal]

Just got home from work and now chilling 🙂
Wyd?

[hybrid pawn]

Im good wby?

[lucid portal]

Kinda tired

[dusk walrus]

I regret subscribing to get ea forum updates cause now I get excited for no reason when I see a daily fourm email

[civic rapids]

if a playtest shows up under playtesting schedule that means ive gotten accepted for it right?

[hybrid pawn]

Yeah and the FIFA invites email to

[icy rain]

Check #1214598970370957374 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!)

[scenic gull]

Bahaha I remember ageees ago I got exited for a play test email just saying my acc wasn’t fully setup

[late minnow]

Lol

I wonder if speed glitches will get patched out in skate. Or if the devs will let us have a little bit of fun like we had in skate 3.

Only time will tell

[hybrid pawn]

Probab patched or dont even exist at all

[late minnow]

I certainly hope not, there's a whole community dedicated to just that and it would suck to not have them in our lobbies

They'd just keep playing skate 3

[vale anchor]

With a physics based game there will always be glitches to discover.
Just don't expect old "glitches" to be included in the new one

[late minnow]

Obviously not expecting old glitches to come back but that would be hilarious if it did

[tiny prism]

Different engine, not possible

[late minnow]

Anything is possible

[tiny prism]

...no this one is pretty cut and dry
A glitch might be similar but it inherently can't be the same glitch lol

[late minnow]

You're no fun

Let me dream

[muted ether]

no hate but glitch implies the game is half baked im ngl

and i dont want an intentionally half baked game

[late minnow]

If the glitch isn't game breaking I don't see it the same way you do

[vale anchor]

All games have glitches. There's no way to avoid that. Nothing half baked about it

[late minnow]

And non-game breaking glitches are always funny

[tiny prism]

That's so actually real

[late minnow]

Bad take

[late minnow]

Ikr?

[tiny prism]

Sure, but intentionally including glitches would be horrible

[muted ether]

^

[tiny prism]

Which is what they said

[late minnow]

Not fixing it doesn't mean it was intentionally included

[tiny prism]

Never said otherwise

[muted ether]

skate 3 had the massive boom in popularity because it was a glitchy mess and idk if i'd want that for the new game

[amber veldt]

honestly they should find a way to keep those speed glitches from skate 3 and implement em into skate.

[tiny prism]

Hopefully they do fix bugs and glitches

[muted ether]

to each their own i guess tho

[tiny prism]

You can't include glitches from other engines, wouldn't be a glitch then

Just ask for a speed launch feature lol

[late minnow]

Bugs and game breaking stuff yeah but things that make you fly at mach 1 should stay in, in my humble opinion

Unless like anything you do makes you fly at mach 1

[tiny prism]

I disagree but you're allowed to have your hopes

[muted ether]

bugs shouldn't be in the game but bugs should stay in the game

[late minnow]

Try to grind that ledge? Nah you're flying now.
That yeah I'd understand if they fixed i5

[muted ether]

basically what im getting here

[tiny prism]

Personally I'd rather a game just work properly, fully

[late minnow]

That is not it at all

[late minnow]

A game can work properly and still have speed glitches

[muted ether]

so you want the game to not work properly

[tiny prism]

Like I said just ask for a speed launch feature
A developer is never going to get on board with intentionally introducing "glitches" into the game lol

[late minnow]

Goat Simulator

[muted ether]

that's literally apples and oranges

[late minnow]

1/10 rage bait

[muted ether]

u did not just compare skate to goat simulator im crying

[tiny prism]

Yeah definitely trolling, later

[muted ether]

yup

[gray fjord]

who needs speed glitches when you can skate as the grim reaper!

[muted ether]

real

[gray fjord]

that outfit gives me THP8 vibes lol

I'm looking forward to seeing what they have in-store for early access customisation

[muted ether]

anyone else think thp8 and thpg were overhated

[gray fjord]

I played THPG so much, never owned a copy of P8 tho

It's the one Tony Hawk console game I've never played, minus Ride and Shred

oh and, 3 I think

[empty coyote]

not many things makes me more upset than when people want glitches in the game....

[muted ether]

3 is a must play tbh

[empty coyote]

they were awesome with the open world and the story was fantastic

[muted ether]

i remember being like 10 and getting the ps2 ports and being mad they didn't look like the ps3/360 version lmfao

[gray fjord]

I'm picking THPS 3+4 so I can't wait to play that!

[gray fjord]

I often wondered why footage of Proving Ground looked way better than my PS2 copy lol

[empty coyote]

after proving grounds it felt like they gave up because skate. owned them 🤣

[rancid steppe]

I mean, they're okay, I don't think people should necessarily wish for glitches to be in the game, but if there are, ppl can say they like them

[muted ether]

proving ground came out like a whole year before skate 1 but neversoft was already on their last leg

[empty coyote]

sure, but when people say: "they should add the speed glitch from skate 3 into the game" that makes me clench my fist fr

[muted ether]

then r*bomodo ruined the series

[late minnow]

No I'm using goat simulator as an argument against him saying devs would never intentionally leave bugs in a game when clearly some do, you guys are just dense

[rancid steppe]

wait people said they should add it on purpose 😭

[gray fjord]

I think it was actually because the series had declining sales so, it was their last chance at doing well, then it bombed and neversoft basically closed down and then everything between happened

[empty coyote]

i've seen people in here say that a couple times actually lol

[muted ether]

is goat simulator a triple-a title? no? alright then

[late minnow]

I never said they should add it I said it would be hilarious if it somehow found it's way back in

[dusk walrus]

😭

[late minnow]

People are taking me out of context

[dusk walrus]

That's what they all say

[rancid steppe]

that's fair, but I don't think they should go out of their way to add it to the game on purpose yk

[gray fjord]

Goat Simulator is definitely meant to be that way, all ridiculous and barely keeping itself together, skate. is definitely not going for that, so, why would skate. have intentional glitches?

[muted ether]

me when i compare an indie steam game to a skateboarding simulator from EA

[gray fjord]

actually it's technically a mobile game I played it on my iPad

[late minnow]

Never said that either

[muted ether]

except u did

[late minnow]

Fair argument, however: speed funny

[gray fjord]

just build a really big and steep ramp

[rancid steppe]

I mean, I didn't say you did, all I'm saying is that they don't rlly need to go out of their way that's all

[late minnow]

Hell no go read again and use your 2 braincells together instead of one at a time

[dusk walrus]

Goat simulator exists the same reason the Shrek franchise does.
Because employees got lazy, and because employees were doing bad on other projects

[muted ether]

speed glitch guy is mad

[gray fjord]

Really? I didn't know that, just figured they wanted to make a goofy game

[rancid steppe]

you aren't making it any better man

don't provoke him yk

[muted ether]

yeah im egging i'll stop

[dull pilot]

This.

[muted ether]

dw

[dusk walrus]

Yeah they got bored and wanted to make a goofy time. And decided later on its a half ass punishment for other employees that aren't performing as well on other triple a games

[gray fjord]

was coffee stain studios a triple a developer?

[dusk walrus]

Well what they considered triple a games

[muted ether]

just looked up the dev and they made valheim and satisfactory wtf

thats crazy

[dusk walrus]

Yup

[late minnow]

Main reason why I wanted to mention them, I'm always on valheim and ik how good they can make games and how fun they can make bugs be

[gray fjord]

did you know the goat from goat simulator has a skin in Fortnite

the goats name is Pilgor

[empty coyote]

wow, valheim, satisfactory and goat sim? that's a crazy mix

[late minnow]

Swag

[dusk walrus]

Satisfactory is the game where you just turn a good looking game into a industrial factory right?
Or am I thinking of a diff game

[late minnow]

Coffee stain knows how to make something for everyone

[torn birch]

And payday

[muted ether]

tfw the name of the skin is "A Goat" thats strangely ominous

[empty coyote]

tbf everything is in forknife

[gray fjord]

payday is not in Fortnite but Goat Sim is in payday!

[torn birch]

No

Payday is in fornite

[muted ether]

reda skin in fortnite when

[late minnow]

I wanna see master chief on a skateboard

[dull pilot]

Game dev is hard.
If a glitch doesn’t break the game, it’s non-critical. And you have to analyze the knock-on effect.
“We patch this, what does/can it break?
Is it fun? Can we leave it? “
Something that negatively impacts gameplay definitely takes priority, regardless of studio size. Some glitches are like gremlins. You may see it a dozen times, but can’t replicate it enough consistently to triage it.

[empty coyote]

oh man, i know it's unlikely but my biggest wish is for Reda to be in the new skate

[gray fjord]

in Fortnite you can give Master Chief a skateboard backbling, somehow we don't have a skateboard emote yet tho

that still bothers me

[late minnow]

Damn

[muted ether]

crossing my fingers for a playable Cuz

[gray fjord]

Over 10 different skateboard backblings and no skateboard emote

[torn birch]

Ain't there a game mode for skateing

[gray fjord]

We got a long board and carpet board with a roll

[dull pilot]

Not even a Shaka?

[torn birch]

I remember playing it

[dull pilot]

🤙

[gray fjord]

Nope, you might be thinking of the driftboard, hoverboard vehicle

[torn birch]

Probably

[muted ether]

imagine the clapping animation from thps4 in fortnite

[dusk walrus]

^ if you guys every wanna know how game breaking a bug can be
Watch any first time gameplay of a YouTuber titled "let's game it out"
Dudes sole objective is completing games with one bug or glitch

[gray fjord]

There's two emotes focused on this (Hang Loose and Hang Loose Celebration), a spray made exclusive to Australian players iirc, and the carpet board emote starts off with this!

[dusk walrus]

I think he played hydroneer 4 times and found a way to complete the game in under 50 mins every time

[gray fjord]

I was hoping we could maybe get a collab or something for THPS 3+4s release but I don't think we'll get that

maybe we can get Coach Frank through skate.! we already have Isaac Clarke in Fortnite!!

[scenic gull]

Bro I hope the trophy list is funny like skate 3 🙏

[tiny prism]

God I hope skate doesn't turn into fortnite with a ton of stupid skins

[torn birch]

Oh yeahhh it was like a Parkor event we're you could get the skate bord backblings

[dusk walrus]

It will dw.

[tiny prism]

Talk about something that'd kill my want to play

[gray fjord]

You seen the trailers? they got quite a few silly skins in them

[tiny prism]

Yeah mostly not though

[muted ether]

surely right? jason lee is awesome

[torn birch]

It was 5 years ago😭

[rancid steppe]

they have to make money somehow, so let's just hope most of them are tasteful and not over the top

[gray fjord]

The first ever Nike Jordans Collab!

[torn birch]

I hope we can have the emo hair in skate.

Because i have it irl

[tiny prism]

Rather them partner with real clothing brands to do so

[dusk walrus]

You cannot have a f2p game and minimal things to buy

Gotta make money somehow

[rancid steppe]

they have, if I recall correctly they're working with Vans and other brands

[gray fjord]

People absolutely LOVE their silly cosmetics too

[rancid steppe]

but people love their grim reapers

[gray fjord]

Cod for example, everyone is running goofy skins

[scenic gull]

Test

[gray fjord]

Cod also has a lot of them running around lol

[scenic gull]

Bro why were my stuff being deleted before haha

[torn birch]

Yeah if they wana make the most money for micro transaction irl brands are a better option than fake ones that's what rider republic did to me

[rancid steppe]

that's also why I don't really play COD anymore, because it's so unserious now. seriously. nicki minaj??

[gray fjord]

Maybe a word you typed that's not allowed? Only thing I can think of

[gray fjord]

That was 3 years ago! no they just got TMNT now, and Squid Games

[vale anchor]

You fail but I'll grade on a curve for you

[dull pilot]

Because import gets spammed so it’s blocked in every channel but #import-skaters. it’s the automod.

[gray fjord]

Riders Republic had a lot of real brands, there were original ones but there were a lot of real brands

[scenic gull]

Honest all they need is a couple pros, some well known and NON well known brands (like butter or cash only etc) and even head me out have a ‘starter edition” 40$ with like enough tokens to start your create skater

[rancid steppe]

no way... no way it's been that long since they added her

[gray fjord]

MW2 was back in 2022!

[rancid steppe]

it was 2 years ago

[scenic gull]

Ahhhh I was just saying how can’t really compare some of the wacky skins to fortnite due to some of skate 3 ‘forbidden word’ skaters

[rancid steppe]

just shows how long they've been going down this path though

[torn birch]

Yeah ik XD

[gray fjord]

It sells, so why not keep doing it!

COD Players are really odd with their cosmetics, I saw people celebrating that they couldn't use last years cosmetics in the newest game

[torn birch]

Cods micro transactions are a ces pit

[rancid steppe]

I wonder if there are going to be cloth physics

I've seen hair physics

[empty coyote]

at least the hoodie laces have physics

[gray fjord]

I think at some point in the future there will be some cloth physics, but I don't mind if they don't have any

[muted ether]

anything to save me from playing session or sxl man

just doesn't hit the same even with hella mods 😭

[gray fjord]

I was enjoying the games but I got sick of both the developers personally

[rancid steppe]

am I lucky for still being able to play skate 3 on my ps3

because I've met a lot of people who can't play it because they don't use their ps3 etc

[gray fjord]

I got a 360 with all the skate games on it, although I'm intentionally holding off on playing them

[muted ether]

still on og hardware with a capture card, been replaying skate 2 cuz that game is peak

[empty coyote]

mood. if i combine them i have almost 3000 hours... but nothing compares to the ultimate flow you get in skate.

[late minnow]

Same, tonight imma try to get the xbox 360 to run on my ultrawide

Perchance skate 3 has support for it, somehow

There's a slim chance

[empty coyote]

s t r e c h

[late minnow]

16:9 stretched to 21:9 is what I use for valorant and cs2, yes

Wide enemy

[tiny prism]

There isn't, 1080p is the max

[late minnow]

2580x1080 is technically still 1080p and it's 21:9

[sudden warren]

You could always get an upscaler too, right?

[tiny prism]

That's not how the Xbox works

That's far above supported resolutions

It'll just put a 16:9 image in the middle of two massive black boxes, as I'm sure you've experienced with other unsupported devices and programs

But you're probably just gonna keep arguing in favor of it working so, enjoy

[late minnow]

Or maybe I'll just prove you wrong instead of argue

Or I'll prove you right, whichever happens

[tiny prism]

Whichever happens, I'm not interested in the outcome and would like to be left out of it, thanks!

[late minnow]

Disappointing, I thought you too would be interested in seeing old hardware running natively on ultrawide

[tiny prism]

I'm not, please stop pinging me for this topic

[scenic nova]

ppl needa realise they can turn off pings for replies

[undone turret]

i’m sure aldonist doesn’t mind being pinged just doesn’t want it for the topic

[tiny prism]

Yep

[scenic nova]

valid

[late minnow]

But then it's not fun anymore

[raw lark]

Good day so far fellas ?

[undone turret]

[tiny prism]

So-so, wbu

[gray fjord]

[undone turret]

NDA

[tiny prism]

That's real

[scenic nova]

nobody can say if they are

[undone turret]

Shhhhhhh

[tiny prism]

Winter here and 50f

[scenic nova]

non-disclosure agreement

[foggy hedge]

^

[gray fjord]

Let me have a piece of that wtf

[scenic nova]

dont talk about it

[storm mauve]

ill stay quite mb gang

[tiny prism]

I'd trade it instantly homie

[undone turret]

you can’t mention anything about the game or say you have access you can only say “i signed up”

[tiny prism]

Some winter

[undone turret]

i have seen so many people break NDA since thursday it’s insane

[foggy hedge]

holy

[scenic nova]

moly

[late minnow]

It's been great so far, at work with 3 hours of sleep

[storm mauve]

quacamole

[gray fjord]

winter is my favourite season cause I get to wear big and warm clothing and it covers my worst parts of my body, very euphoric for me

[late minnow]

My brain currently cannot function properly

[raw lark]

Same here bro but this is regular in this life we have just trying to survive

[tiny prism]

Not much of a winter here, it's been mostly 40's, worst snow we got was 3 inches
For here that's nothing

[gray fjord]

Australia never gets snow so, that sounds like a lot to me

[undone turret]

i’m from utah i’ve seen snow get 2-3 feet deep

[gray fjord]

Jeez

[tiny prism]

10ft is my record

[undone turret]

that wasn’t utahs record either

[tiny prism]

Snowstorm atlas really did a number on our area

[acoustic dock]

I signed up

[undone turret]

alta ski arena got 75 feet in 2022-23

[late minnow]

Real, gotta get our money up while also being set up for failure

[tiny prism]

Yeesh

[undone turret]

this is why i’ve turned to producing music

clears my head and if it blows up then cool

[late minnow]

I do need to get started with fl studio

[undone turret]

fl sucks

it crashes like 40 times in a session for something that’s $200

[late minnow]

Idk any alternatives tbf

[undone turret]

get a mac and use garage band

id say mac book specifically

[dull pilot]

it's because you're upside down. 😉

[gray fjord]

If only I was downside up, then I'd be in winter!

[gritty citrus]

so hyped

[undone turret]

shhhhhhh NDA

[gritty citrus]

for my KFc tonight

[undone turret]

ok proceed

[cursive zodiac]

"get a mac"

[gray fjord]

Zinger Stacker ftw

[undone turret]

only apple product i like it the phones but atleast garage band won’t crash on a macbook

[cursive zodiac]

I'm not paying to make music bro

[undone turret]

i wasn’t talking to you saying to get a mac tho

[undone turret]

bro there’s used ones on ebay for as much as a a regular laptop

[late minnow]

Yeah i know, but I don't wanna

[undone turret]

i found one from 11 years ago for 150

[late minnow]

Already got 3 laptops and 2 desktops I don't need to add to the pile

[undone turret]

fair

[late minnow]

people keep giving me their older yet actually pretty recent and decent PCs

I was given an acer nitro desktop and a lenovo thinkpad from a few years ago last month

[coarse moss]

that's actually really good

wish people around me were more like that

[late minnow]

well those are the perks of building and fixing PCs and cars and random things for people

sometimes it feels more like a curse than anything though

[vale anchor]

I love a nice thinkpad, great laptops

[late minnow]

yeah only wish the screen wasn't broken and keyboard worked and GPU wasn't dead

it works on integrated graphics but try to do anything with the quadro gpu and it crashes no matter what drivers I use

I have to order a new screen, keyboard and mainboard that has the quadro gpu

[empty coyote]

i just got a new GPU and a new case. i have an old motherboard so no m.2 but i have an expansion card coming in the mail which lets me put m.2 drives on it

[late minnow]

you're gonna be sacrificing some speed but since your mobo doesn't have a m.2 slot there's a 99% chance your cpu is too old to make full use of the speed of your m.2 ssd anyway so it's actually a really good idea

[empty coyote]

yeah i know. still, when I eventually upgrade mobo, ram, and processor i'll be able to put even more nvmes on it with that expansion card

with that expansion card I will have upgraded my pc as far as i can without a new motherboard

[cursive zodiac]

Do you guys think <1348692781475954788> is something that should be in #1177291332696424468 or no

Oh wait hold on how do I link to threads

#1348692781475954788 There we go

[empty coyote]

still, i hadn't had a desktop since 2015 so this pc still feels beast to me, even if it's not at max speed

[late minnow]

you can get cheap chinese mobos with m.2 slots for like 50$ on aliexpress and then a cheap i7 that fits in there for like 20-40$

I saw an i7-8700 for 30$ on ebay and a brand name mobo that works with it for 70$, DDR4 is plenty cheap too nowadays so you have a lot of budget options

[empty coyote]

i'm going for an AM5 when i eventually upgrade. right now i'm on an i7-4770k but I wanna switch to an AMD system

and 60hz screen, so framecapping everything to 60 doesn't give me bottleneck issues at all with my 3060

[late minnow]

mobos for AM5 are way too expensive right now but I have a feeling they might go down soon, if you can get an AM5 mobo for 100$ that's good, then obviously the r5 7600x would be your best bet unless you have a microcenter near you, then you should get a 7600 non-x

[scenic gull]

Hahaha good times. Now you can just google it. But something special about finding cheats in a Game mag or at a friends house who did have internet and a desktop, then writing it down or you better have it muscle memory

[empty coyote]

yeah it's a bit steep pricing. no microcenters since i am in norway unfortunately

might have to get a white one too, so even more expensive lol. i got the white nzxt h6 flow case

[late minnow]

I remember knowing cheat codes by heart and I felt so cool pulling it off in front of my friends without the help of notes

[empty coyote]

i used to buy books with cheats lmao

[late minnow]

asrock white mobos are actually the same price as black ones rn I think

[empty coyote]

or cheathappens. com was cool

[scenic gull]

Too bad no youtube in 2002 for vice city lmao

[dull pilot]

interesting. I may have to try that sometime.

[cursive zodiac]

huh WHAT

Brad Dock jumpscare

[sudden warren]

That's my work laptop. I like it. Touchscreen too

[vale anchor]

oo fancy

[gray fjord]

Imagine playing skate. during Halloween and there's a possible chance of getting a Braddock jumpscare lol

[dull pilot]

hahah

[sudden warren]

Haha and it folds all the way over itself basically turns into a tablet

Not that i EVER use it like that

[cursive zodiac]

I'm starting to internally say "skate dot" in my mind whenever I talk about the new skate game

[empty coyote]

skate period

[cursive zodiac]

And I was thinking

Dude...
Kdot...
Skate. ...

[empty coyote]

careful

[cursive zodiac]

Skate dot... Kdot...

[vale anchor]

Skate Point

[dull pilot]

i like how Cuz said it one video.

it's skate period.

[cursive zodiac]

Oh yeah that seems cool

[vale anchor]

That's two periods

[empty coyote]

i remember back in the day when we said EA skate.

[cursive zodiac]

Skatrius Von Vansterdam The Nth

Oh right yeah the number four here is cursed

Rule of thirds oops 🫠

[vale anchor]

Haunts you

[gray fjord]

We're all like Gabe Newell but instead of the number 3 it's the number that's higher than 3 but lower than 5

[empty coyote]

"The fifth game in the EA Skate. series"

[gray fjord]

This is technically true!

[cursive zodiac]

Coach Frank's Pro Skater

[gray fjord]

alternative universe where Coach Frank shot skateboarding into popularity

[empty coyote]

he kinda did if you think about it

[lilac widget]

alternative universe where coach frank invented skating

[empty coyote]

Jason Lee was on the forefront of street skating

one of the first to do 360 flips

[gray fjord]

I never knew that, that's cool!

[lilac widget]

in Coach Frank we trust

[empty coyote]

check out Tincan Folklore on youtube

ancient skate video

[gray fjord]

I don't know my skate history ngl, I just know I love the wheels that go round and the trucks that hit the rails

[cursive zodiac]

Skateboarding was invented by Coach "Skate" "Board" Frank when he accidentally turned his car 360 degrees on the roll axis and thought "what if I did this but with a piece of plywood and four wheels"

[gray fjord]

Will do! Tomorrow tho, gotta hit the hay, go to bed if you wanna be more proper

[empty coyote]

there was a kid in my hometown who rips, like insanely good. i asked him who his fav skater was, he said "I don't know any"

[lilac widget]

That's true

[gray fjord]

It's 3:30 am, I stayed up playing too much Trials Rising lol

[empty coyote]

indeed

[cursive zodiac]

I have an OC who skateboards when the only skateboarding knowledge I know is treating Skate 3 like it's Underground

[radiant latch]

Jason Lee didn’t create the Tre flip

Rodney Mullen created it

Jason was the one who popularized Tre flips for the modern era of skating l

has the friends invite been resolved?

[last bloom]

no one knows than ea

[tiny prism]

#1214598970370957374 has the most up to date info anyone here knows (or can even talk about)

[gloomy island]

damn

[floral iron]

Such a good game!

[sudden warren]

He technically didn't say he created it. He said one of the first

Which idk if that is true either, just pointing out the technicality

[teal orchid]

I created it

[radiant latch]

Saying you are the first implies that you have created it

Why are we moving the goal post?

[waxen apex]

W

[quaint cobalt]

Would be cool to see Skate. have an option to invert controller sticks for switch tricks similar to Session.

Y’all think that would make sense or nah?

[empty coyote]

i never said that though....

"one of the first to do 360 flips"

not "the first"

"one of" means "one of several"

you are the one who moved the goal post lol. i wasn't talking about the creation of tre flip at all.

[empty coyote]

that's how skate has always done it if you don't stay in "true switch"

[teal orchid]

Do we know if skate. will be 4k 60fps on ps5?

[radiant latch]

Thank you for clarifying

[tiny prism]

No, we don't know anything past it'll be playable on Ps5 really

[quaint cobalt]

Can u elaborate I’m not too sure what you mean. My bad

What’s “true switch”?

[teal orchid]

hopefully it will be

[muted ether]

if you do a 180 and immediately push the stick up, the animation is more accurate to real life switch/fakie

stick up after a 180 for true switch

stick down for true fakie

i think i explained that correctly

this youtube short has a good example of a switch flip https://youtube.com/shorts/tE16Ff4FwPQ?si=VhjryyGgDVg0TglX

[empty coyote]

yeah when you do a 180 and don't push/hold down the stick so the skater will stay in the stance you were in. making it so fakie ollie will be stick down and up like regular ollie, instead of up/down like some sort of "switch nollie"

[muted ether]

playtest trigger

[tiny prism]

We don't know, anything like that is under nda

Including mentioning you got accepted in

[muted ether]

figuring out this was even a thing when i first started playing the games was such a nice touch

[tiny prism]

people really just don't care about breaking nda 😔 😭

[shy skiff]

🥵

[teal orchid]

there should be a mandatory Ea login point here before you can send messages, and if somehow violates the nda fly out of the test

🤣

[radiant latch]

A lot of ppl got invites (I’m assuming)

[tiny prism]

Good, but do they gotta break legal contracts so commonly lmao it's starting to feel like some sort of requirement

[muted ether]

inb4 the entire playerbase gets cut in half

lmfaoooo

[teal orchid]

just until release

[muted ether]

coach frank puts you in timeout for the first 10 days after release

[teal orchid]

why me?

[tiny prism]

Maybe, but maybe you won't have that playtest spot for long

[sullen flicker]

how so?

[foggy hedge]

they really dont it seems

[shy skiff]

Same here💀

[tiny prism]

You're breaking nda by mentioning you got in

[sullen flicker]

so strict?

[tiny prism]

Yes

[teal orchid]

[shy skiff]

Show me the source. Im sorry if it

[tiny prism]

Read your emails entirely

[shy skiff]

Yep and there‘s norhing about it

[teal orchid]

The NDA is the source

why would you sign something you dont read

[tiny prism]

You could tag and ask Jeffrey, the community manager, if you don't believe me

[cyan eagle]

I mean, TO BE FAIR, we all sign stuff we didn't read all the time

[hybrid pawn]

u js at least need to know that u cant tell anything abt the game

[cyan eagle]

Nobody reads 200 page TOS before hitting agree

[shy skiff]

That‘s what I know

[sullen flicker]

yeah sure thats obvious for a playtesting

[tiny prism]

Including the contents of the emails and that youd been accepted yeah

[teal orchid]

I think NDA is a bit different to some netflix user agreement

[tiny prism]

Yeah one is a legal contract lol

[hybrid pawn]

If u dont read nda its not a big deal, the problem is telling everyone that u are in the playtest or maybe leaking the game

[tiny prism]

Hey Jeff

[foggy hedge]

hello jeff

[hybrid pawn]

Watch out guys the boss is here

[shy skiff]

I never would leak it, I know that but I didn‘t know that I can‘t even ask about it

[dull pilot]

And if you break NDA, there's a lot of potential consequences.

removal from this server, removal from playtesting, sanctions against your EA account, etc.

OR

folks could just not talk about stuff that's not to be publicly discussed.

[late minnow]

Why don't you read the nda

[hybrid pawn]

So the deal is js not talk abt it lol people dont need to read everything abt the document

[cyan eagle]

Not wrong. Just wanted to be a smartass

[late minnow]

Reading is such a vital part of our daily life and people still find ways to avoid it

[sullen flicker]

owkay we all shut up and be excited about the future

[dull pilot]

this is the important part:

TLDR - you can't say anything but "I signed up!"

[teal orchid]

soon as the game launches imma find all the out of bounds spots

[unborn iris]

yeah we are all excited abt nothing tomorrow

[hybrid pawn]

I signed up xd

[shy skiff]

Allright boss

[sullen flicker]

Thank you Jeff whent trough an heart attack there

[hybrid pawn]

U can track the EA acct from discord even if its not linked when something happens?

[jaunty trench]

basically if you get into thew playtest treat it like fight club.. first rule dont talk about it... second rule dont talk about it

[late minnow]

Some might say nothing ever happens

[unborn iris]

my kicks were supposed to arrive tomorrow but they came in today

[dull pilot]

I can't tell you all my secrets, but I'm very VERY good at finding folks.

https://tenor.com/view/liam-taken-point-gif-18698093

[shy skiff]

I‘ll find you and I‘ll…

[teal orchid]

pls don't come to my door

[dull pilot]

take all the power cables and charging codes from your house.

[late minnow]

Just ask rainbolt

[shy skiff]

Oh oh

[late minnow]

I'm sorry to hear that, you get 5 big booms

[vital spruce]

anyone know if there is a point of contact for what was mentioned in #1214598970370957374. Or is that more of a sit tight and hope kinda situation.

[dull pilot]

sit tight and wait for an email.

[hybrid pawn]

Even a kid would understand the nda purpose

Some people js become to excited and start telling everyone lmao

[vital spruce]

?

[dull pilot]

https://tenor.com/view/oh-wow-michael-scott-the-gif-25268355

[teal orchid]

Is the npc Ai stoopid braindead in skate. like in past skates?

[tiny prism]

Well that's not very appropriate

[late minnow]

It's okay, I too, am part of a minority

[jaunty trench]

if ur anywhere near the gaming industry even as a kid u probably heard of NDA so many youtubers use it due to embargos

[tiny prism]

That doesnt matter at all, ill be real

[dull pilot]

not even relevant. keep it appropriate for everyone. per the #rules.

[hybrid pawn]

Anny hint about new information coming or new QNA date?

[bold cloud]

no

[open osprey]

This exactly idk how so many ppl don’t realize they’re breaking the nda and have potential consequences

Like ppl earlier today asking about play.test times from they’re emails

[late minnow]

I would like to formerly apologize to all wheelchair bound people in this server

[hybrid pawn]

Not tday bt js now lol

[open osprey]

Oh no it was terrible this morning

[foggy hedge]

oh god

[bold cloud]

the time is on the ea test page thingy

[hybrid pawn]

They were lucky the boss wasnt here

[late minnow]

I'm glad you think this way, wish more people would think like that

[tiny prism]

It might be rude to say this but I don't really care what you think of what I think, sorry

[bold cloud]

wow so edgy and cool

[late minnow]

Boowomp

[open osprey]

One guy even brought up the fact he’d had two separate warnings for talking about the play.test prior to asking about play.test time

[tiny prism]

You've been antagonistic and trolly all day lol, your opinion I don't hold in high regard 🤷‍♂️

We can move on and talk about skate :)

[late minnow]

Nah he's in the right I'm in the wrong fr

[bold cloud]

ok

[tiny prism]

Hoping for dark slides

[late minnow]

What's your favorite trick in skate 2 then

I'm gonna guess dark slides

Even tho you can't

Or I think you can't in skate 2

[bold cloud]

do you think theyre gonna start remaking the THUG games now theyve done all the THPS or will they re-do 5 ?

[late minnow]

From memory

[tiny prism]

Laser flip, always

[unborn iris]

you can't

[late minnow]

Swagger trick

I like inward heels

[tiny prism]

With them not doing a full thps4 with the missions, I'm leaning on either vicarious is doing that in the background whole iron galaxies made the 3+4, or it's just not gonna be done

[late minnow]

Don't remember if you could do that in skate 2 tho

[empty coyote]

anyone try the demo for streetdog bmx? pretty fun

[gritty citrus]

idk how THPS can still be fun after you are used to skate/session/skater xl etc

[tiny prism]

Probably easier if you grew up with thps lol

[bold cloud]

its like going from tarkov back to COD

[late minnow]

After being disappointed one too many times by bmx games I've not even considered looking into bmx games anymore

[bold cloud]

same thing different flavour

[late minnow]

Even back when thps was big I really didn't like the controls

[gritty citrus]

back to only thps i was used to it but when i discovered skate is was no match lol

[empty coyote]

demo is free lol

[late minnow]

Flick-it always been on top

[gritty citrus]

even now, im playing a lot more session / skater xl then skate 3, i think if you are real skater you want it to feel as genuine as possible

[neon owl]

I only care about Tony hawks that aren't classic 2 minutes. They're fun for 1 playthrough. But I never touch them again after beating

[empty coyote]

i always hear people complain that they cant go back to some other game because they got used to something else... meanwhile I have no problem swapping between any of them lol.

[late minnow]

It's probably not worth the time though

[empty coyote]

negative nancy

i never liked bmx games but this is fun

[neon owl]

Streetdog is fun

[gritty citrus]

the skate mode in riders republic is better then thps i think

[late minnow]

Session's controls are definitely more realistic but I personally can't handle it, hand-eye control and general hand movements are harder for me than the average person, having to make my left thumb go one way and the other thumb go the other way actually messes with my brain

[late minnow]

We'll have to see, for tonight it's skate 3 on an ultrawide time

[empty coyote]

I have skated for 20 years, while i appreciate the realism of those games, i actually prefer skate.

i have over 1500 hours in both session and sxl tho.. 😛

[late minnow]

More laid back experience

[gritty citrus]

i get it, sometimes i get overload of session its is too unforgiving lol

[late minnow]

Yeah, I like it though, very refreshing

[empty coyote]

if skate. looks and feels realistic enough, i don't need dual stick. i can just go skate irl if i want that stuff 😛

[late minnow]

Real

[tiny prism]

So glad they stuck with flickit

I remember playing skate 1 on the xbox's at Walmart, when they had those kiosks you'd strain your neck to see

Mind blown

[neon owl]

The only kiosk we have here anymore is for Nintendo switch

[late minnow]

One other franchise I want to see come back is SSX, I've had so much fun on there

[gritty citrus]

I think the skate. game will be much more complete then session and xl, and much more things to do so itll still be more fun so I don't mind the flickit

[bleak viper]

Damn so I started with xl and had several hundred hours down , tried sessions and then I just couldn’t get the turning down with l2 r2 . Tried again a month later and it clicked…. Haven’t played xl since. Seshing in session feels so good when you put it all together and are landing tricks and lines. Super rewarding . I hope skate. Atleast has hardcore but I’m really hoping it just doesn’t seem too easy after mastering sessions

[empty coyote]

yep. the big thing for me is just throwing the board down. in session it magically transports under your feet, and in sxl you can't walk at all. both those games lack polish

[bleak viper]

I’m also afraid it’s going to take me forever to get away from the trigger turning , as it did to learn in first place

[gritty citrus]

yeah haha its indie studios and xl was abandoned early i heard by the devs... EA is huge so obviously theres the budget

[empty coyote]

these days sxl gets more gear drops and maps than Session actually. the studio that makes session straight up deleted all their community content and the chat.. and session still doesn't have goofy stance

[fierce tree]

I want to play skate again I miss it so much!

Havent played since ps3

[gritty citrus]

same, at first i played xl more and now i do more session it feels so rewarding when you land the tricks. the thing with skate is that it has more of a aracadey feel so even if they do hardcore mode it won't feel the same

[empty coyote]

takes me about 10-15 minutes each time i switch from sxl to skate so don't worry

[gritty citrus]

yes the mod community is huge

[worthy geyser]

Hello, I had a rather obvious question about the Skate. playtest. I registered last night. Someone have any idea how long it would take to receive a concrete answer to know if I am eligible to participate in the playtest?

oh

[gritty citrus]

we are not allowed to talk about it here, but if you just sign up last night, some people have been waiting 3/4 years without getting anything lol

early access should be this year thou

[vale anchor]

But that doesn't mean there isn't a chance

[bleak viper]

Sxl had the analog turning think used to session now

I can’t wait tho, skate is going to be so much more flowy

[worthy geyser]

Thanks for clarifying that this topic could not be discussed here, I didn't know that.

PD: 3/4 YEARS? DAMMMM

[open osprey]

If you signed up your eligible to get into the play.test and if you do get in you’ll receive an email

[worthy geyser]

ohhh okay, thanks

[gritty citrus]

yea but don't worry you still have chance, and i think in a couple of months its in early access anyways so you don't have to wait long

[open osprey]

That’s all we can really say tho

[muted ether]

😭

[open osprey]

Another broken nda

[coarse moss]

nda after nda

[neon owl]

The session mod community is huge. Over 30k+ members

[coarse moss]

never ends

[open osprey]

So many today

[coarse moss]

don't get how people can't simply read

it cannot be that difficult right

[foggy hedge]

def not

[late minnow]

Chat let me show you how it's done

[vale anchor]

actually, you'd be surprised

[late minnow]

I signed up

[coarse moss]

very true

[late minnow]

Easy as stealing candy from a baby

[coarse moss]

yeah yeah me too

[late minnow]

Until the dad shows up and beats you up

[open osprey]

Saw like 7 different ppl ask about play times at like 9 this morning est

[coarse moss]

how rotted must their brains be

its either that or they're letting children into the playtests

[late minnow]

More than we'd wish

[muted ether]

and another bunch breaking nda then telling me they're not by also explaining nda breaking behavior

[plucky lichen]

my fault yall

[open osprey]

Honestly dude what you asked isn’t as bad as 90% of the ppl who’ve broken nda

[coarse moss]

indeed dude indeed

[late minnow]

There have been so many

[muted ether]

its been really funny

[plucky lichen]

LMAO i bet i thought it was alright cuz i thought id seen someone with the same question😭

[hidden bronze]

Sup yalll

[foggy hedge]

yo

[open osprey]

Wassup

[coarse moss]

nah people be asking it just in a way around automod or whatever, u good now though

[hidden bronze]

How’re yall doin?

[weary tendon]

Hi

[foggy hedge]

doin good, wbu?

[late minnow]

I'm doing

[plucky lichen]

massa best song off cmiygl

[coarse moss]

im personally doin alright, you?

[hidden bronze]

Yessirrrrr

[plucky lichen]

tapped in'

[hidden bronze]

I’m doing alright, it’s close to 6 in the morning where I’m at

[open osprey]

Doing good ready for skate early access this year

[hidden bronze]

Started a new playthrough of Dying Light 2, so that’s what I’m entertaining myself with so late at night

[hidden bronze]

Same here

[open osprey]

Understandable heard it’s good game

[hidden bronze]

It’s certainly got a lot of divided opinions, but I definitely enjoy it
I honestly had no clue I’d sunk close to 700 hours on it until I had just checked a bit ago

[open osprey]

700 ain’t that bad I only say this bc I have a cyberpunk addiction

[foggy hedge]

ooo how many hours?

[open osprey]

3000 and counting

[foggy hedge]

holyyyy!

it is a really REALLY good game

[hidden bronze]

Same here, played since launch and I think I have close to 1k hours across three saves combined

[bold gyro]

for what?

i can only read numbers my bad

no words

[open osprey]

My personal opinion yes but it def ain’t for everybody

[open osprey]

A lot of build optimization

[foggy hedge]

oh yeah def!

[open osprey]

The story by far one of my absolute favorites for any game tbh

[hidden bronze]

I haven’t played cyberpunk in a good while, now that I think about it

Whenever I finish the gigs and main story, I run out of motivation to just have fun

[open osprey]

I’m currently doing another cyberpsycho build

[hidden bronze]

I think my last build was a netrunner

[open osprey]

Those are always fun for stealth

[foggy hedge]

love netrunner sm

[hidden bronze]

I think the build was optimised in such a way that I pretty much gained infinite RAM when using quickhacks in a certain way

[open osprey]

Edgerunner builds have my heart tho

[hidden bronze]

Definitely agree. The build before the netrunner was a Martinez build. Full on Sandy + Gorilla Arms

[open osprey]

Rn I’ve got a Martinez build the sandy has like 6 sec cooldown and I’m running mantis blades bc why not

[hidden bronze]

Ah yeahhh. Mantis Blades definitely work for that build just as well

[open osprey]

Mantis blades are more the cyberpsycho route gorilla arms is true David tho

[hidden bronze]

Exactlyyyy

[open osprey]

What you think about the cyberpunk manga

[hidden bronze]

I haven’t gotten the chance to read it unfortunately

[tough swan]

so there was no friend invite fix lol

other than people who did not already fill in the survey if they got an invite

[tiny prism]

All I know is I signed up and anything past that is no-no zone for talkie

[late minnow]

Am I tripping or did half the channels disappear?

[tiny prism]

You're trippin

[late minnow]

The skate 3 channel doesn't appear for me anymore

[foggy hedge]

did you remove it from the channel list?

[dull pilot]

no, there was a fix - if folks follow the instructions, more details will be sent via email.

[late minnow]

I'm in the channels and roles section and it doesn't even appear for me

[dull pilot]

in server settings, make sure you have Show All Channels

[waxen apex]

I'm having the same issue. I think Discord is bugging. I turned them all on but closing the app resets it

Channels also aren't marking as read

[late minnow]

Thanks, why did they stop showing up though? They were there this morning, and yesterday.

[late minnow]

Common discord reliability

[dull pilot]

i don't know. Discord updates sometimes untick that box.

[tough swan]

im very confused on what we could've done for people that were hypothetically invited if they hypothetically followed instructions but hypothetically did not receive any supposed emails :3

[late minnow]

Didn't update discord either

[foggy hedge]

prob discord being buggy then

[tough swan]

hypothetically of course 🦒

[dull pilot]

perhaps the emails haven't gone out yet, so they just need to wait.

[waxen apex]

Yeah. Seems like many apps and whatnot are breaking recently

[tough swan]

okay thanks

[late minnow]

Unless it was a client-side update that didn't require any download from the play store, those sometimes happen but I would've probably noticed

[dull pilot]

the update I just posted stated that we closed the survey to compile all the info.

so, unless they ignored signing up as a skate. Insider and doing that survey, they should be fine - but it will be communicated via email.

[tough swan]

okay but that doesnt assure an invite correct? whereas the friend invite codes would be a for sure invitation? Or am i misunderstanding

[dull pilot]

we don't send friend codes.
the survey where you submitted their emails - the playtesting team would reach out to them directly.

due to the issue with the survey, we put the survey in the actual post, so they could sign up as a skate. Insider and do the survey.

the Playtesting team is now gathering all those submissions to start emailing folks.

so, if you did what the post says - have your friends sign up and do the survey - based on what I've been told, they should get some info in the next 24 hours.

[tough swan]

ohhhhh

Oh man Braddock i have been lost this entire weekend thank you for that confirmation

with the two surveys and instructions its been a convoluted process to follow so thank you thats a very helpful explanation @dull pilot i appreciate that. <3

bro cannot take a hint

[foggy hedge]

fr

[muted ether]

😭

[tough swan]

bro lmao

mods working overtime

someone exile them 😈

[dull pilot]

@hybrid pawn The info I just shared is the info that's available. There's nothing further I have to share on that topic.

[sudden warren]

@unique nebula please advise:
Listen to the song Massacre by Dwarves. You'll recognize it from the first skate game. I want you to read the lyrics and tell me what you notice.

[hybrid pawn]

Okay im sorry then

[foggy hedge]

you can't talk about it

[sudden warren]

😮‍💨 lol

[ruby tartan]

GGs my fault

[noble notch]

Redownloading skate 3 to play the hell outta that again 🥳

[hybrid pawn]

So many nda brokens today lmao

[ruby tartan]

so where would I go to ask said question

[foggy hedge]

yeah

[foggy hedge]

you would just need to wait for more emails

[dull pilot]

@ruby tartan If you're not sure it's allowed, it's best to err on the side of caution and not proceed with asking the question.

#1214598970370957374 (first post links the NDA)
any other information that is available is in that channel.

this is not a playtest support server.
you can email the playtesting team (contact info in the emails they sent you)

[ruby tartan]

sorry dad

[hybrid pawn]

thanks for the update anyway :))

[dull pilot]

it's your access that could get revoked, not mine. do with that what you will.

[hybrid pawn]

look out the boss have methods to find

[dull pilot]

i'm just trying to help folks not get in trouble.

[ruby tartan]

nah I appreciate it fr

ur a great boss

jeff is js helping you guys not getting in trouble, dont think they dont want to help you

[dull pilot]

but the NDA still says not to discuss this. weird.

boooom

[hybrid pawn]

people dont understand anything

[hybrid pawn]

how was the double cheese

[dull pilot]

dood.
it was so good.
i love smoked gouda.

[waxen apex]

Gouda is the best

[hybrid pawn]

damn u must have enjoyed that meal haha

try out francesinha i sent pic of it

jeff told not to discuss abt it here

[lapis wigeon]

drose be careful police is here

[pearl igloo]

this makes 0 sense

[muted ether]

playtest

[foggy hedge]

you can't say anything

[hybrid pawn]

BRUH

[lapis wigeon]

xDDD

[muted ether]

BOOM

[hybrid pawn]

What did i do to you? 😭

[lapis wigeon]

bro you are gonna die

[pearl igloo]

EA clearly still doing EA nonsense

[muted ether]

when i say the magic word the bot comes to furiously tap the NDA sign

[glad silo]

will friends that have been invited be able to playtest on day 1 ? my friend has not recieved his invite 😦

[muted ether]

no way man

[pearl igloo]

apprently you cant speak of the playtest here due to NDA

[glad silo]

oh

my bad oops

[pearl igloo]

cause that makes all the sense

[hollow hazel]

You’re summoning a discord bot congratulations

[lapis wigeon]

too late. enjoy your next 24 hours

[dusk walrus]

Maaaan

[verbal relic]

what an insane stipulation

[hollow hazel]

Not mentioning stuff you aren’t meant to mention is actually super easy idk why you’re acting like it’s so hard

[verbal relic]

i referenced a public announcement

[dull pilot]

It DOES make sense - here's why.

When you sign-up as a skate. Insider, you agree to the Playtesting NDA (linked here: https://tos.ea.com/legalapp/PRFA/US/en/closed/)

Failure to follow the information in this section is what is causing folks to get warnings, timeouts, etc. from the moderation team.

[glad silo]

OK we get that but you guys are not making it easier to understand, we have all already done the signs up and all that but its something wrong with yall servers that needs to be addressed

[white sorrel]

Time to hit a christ air off the EA headquarters

[dull pilot]

Then wait for an email.

(our servers are fine, the next wave of playtesting hasn't started yet - it's March 10, 2025 today)

[white sorrel]

I now fully understand, thank you

[late minnow]

Jeff, it must get frustrating at some point to have to handle this

[tiny prism]

He's battle-hardened

💪

[late minnow]

Like my gloves in cs2

[dusk walrus]

This is what happens to short attention spands

[dull pilot]

it makes me weep for society

lol

[hollow hazel]

Don’t even need to be an EA employee to find all this frustrating

[faint cape]

do i need my psn linked to my ea account?

[jaunty trench]

jeff is old school and he had to handle battlefield at one point just comes with the job

[hollow hazel]

Freelance frustration

[tiny prism]

Yes

[late minnow]

It really is all crashing down

[dusk walrus]

These kids could straght up sign their life away and have no idea until a man in a black suit shows up at their door

[dull pilot]

you should probably check if there's a place about #1214598970370957374, like... that exact channel.

[late minnow]

[open osprey]

Bro I genuinely feel bad for Jeff with how many ppl it’s been today breaking nda

[late minnow]

It will only get worse

[dusk walrus]

My teachers tell me to pay attention to my email and I never listened
Ig all it took was a reason to

[late minnow]

There's a 100% chance that some of them will upload footage on youtube sadly

[dull pilot]

if it does, instead of warnings the moderation team will be handing out 7 day mutes or temp bans.

[muted ether]

oh definitely

[dull pilot]

(i don't want that, but we literally have info as you join saying "don't do that". LOL)

[dusk walrus]

Oh dude it's probably already up. Search up ea play.test on yt and sort by upload date

[late minnow]

They'll get sued but y'know

[lapis wigeon]

its been quite secret for years, should be fine

just 1-2 old playtest leaks

[muted ether]

true

[late minnow]

And in play testing info channel you say it like 7 times

[lapis wigeon]

no

[muted ether]

no way

[dusk walrus]

Wonder why

[muted ether]

right after jeff just wrote an essay bro

[lapis wigeon]

if you finished that you cant invite bro, 1+1=2

[open osprey]

Correct

[late minnow]

Some think they're funny

I'm some but I don't break nda at least

[dusk walrus]

Jeff i beg of you to force who ever is in charge of play.testing to link discord accounts to be able to see who breaks nda's and ea's polices

[jaunty trench]

iv done too many beta's and early access to know when a dev says shhh be quiet dont talk about it.. very simple.

[open osprey]

Ntm the fact that ppl who are in for the play.test get access to a forum of other ppl that are in which has been stated before

[foggy hedge]

super simple

[scenic gull]

so fwipping excited

[stuck cave]

does anyone know if we will be allowed to playtest on multiple platforms if we need to switch? or is it locked with the one you prefer in the survey?

[scenic gull]

this game boutta be lit

[open osprey]

That forum is the only place it can be talked about

[scenic gull]

what im most excited for is the soundtrack

[jaunty trench]

guarantee they will be scouring youtube and twitch for people leaking.

[scenic gull]

please add ekkstacy to the soundtrack he will be stoked 🙏

[lapis wigeon]

nah forum doesnt help, they just give answers to 1 post out of 100

[scenic gull]

well session is more realistic, if you're into more realism, i don't blame anyone for glazing

[cursive zodiac]

bait

[stuck cave]

^get a load of this guy

[open osprey]

I’d delete that

[foggy hedge]

#1214598970370957374

[late minnow]

You okay broski?

[scenic gull]

ah, so if i signed up maybe 3-4 months ago, i should've gotten an email by now im assuming

[faint cape]

nice pfp where is it from

[jaunty trench]

nope as it says " you might be chosen"

[scenic gull]

right, should've as in, if i got in...

[scenic gull]

my pfp?

[faint cape]

yes

[rocky fiber]

Can’t wait for that feeling when the code hits the inbox

[late minnow]

You don't wanna know

[scenic gull]

you really really don't want to know...

[open osprey]

Yeah if you got in you’d get an email the email it comes from is listed in #1214598970370957374

[scenic gull]

i wouldn't wish my greatest enemy on that path...

[rocky fiber]

Or if you got a friend invite then you’ll be getting an email soon

[faint cape]

dont say that bro u breaking nda

[late minnow]

You're hilarious

[mighty trail]

Dayum man, cant wait to test it. Played skate 1 2 3... i hope so frikn badly they do not f this up, we desperately need a good sk4te 😄

[lapis wigeon]

skate 2 the best

[open osprey]

#1214598970370957374

[muted ether]

based and real

[stuck cave]

nah skate it for the wii was the best game hands down

[lapis wigeon]

haha

skate it was fun back then, with that Wii board

[late minnow]

I love the vibe of skate 2 but I still prefer the gameplay of skate 3

[lapis wigeon]

skate 2 is more clumsy, but aesthetic is soo good. feels very real

[muted ether]

the walking mechanic definitely shows the games age

[open osprey]

we all the wrong ppl to ask we know literally just as much as do

[mighty trail]

I read somewhere that right after the playtesting, the game will be directly available as early access and everyone will gain access. Anyone can confirm or cap?

[lapis wigeon]

100%

[tiny prism]

Yes, Jeff has said the current playtest will run til open access starts

[open osprey]

They have stated it will run until early access that’s all we know

[mighty trail]

Aaah ok, but we dont know hpw long the playtest will be, right? Could be 1 week could be 5 months i guess

[tiny prism]

No, we don't know

[foggy hedge]

#1214598970370957374

[open osprey]

Delete this

[foggy hedge]

^

[scenic gull]

bro

hes just asking 💀

[mighty trail]

Can they really do that? Make us wait for so long? The excruciating pain of waiting for a new skate… isn't this against the Geneva Convention?😂

[dull pilot]

he should just read the NDA and #1214598970370957374 before asking.

(helps avoid mutes and bans and being removed from the playtest)

[open osprey]

I’m finna start tweaking

[foggy hedge]

fr

[scenic gull]

i put on fo my city on on fo my city I PUT ONNNNNn

[white sorrel]

Just go skate for real 🙏🏽

[small stag]

@dull pilot alright I'll do that

[scenic gull]

are you guys looking for software devs 😎

[open osprey]

Bruh I would if I was still able too

[white sorrel]

Why what happened

[vital spruce]

maybe he got old like the rest of us

[muted ether]

never too old to skate

[white sorrel]

You are never too old to break your bones

[hollow hazel]

You don’t quit skating cause you get old, you get old cause you quit skating

[open osprey]

Broke a few bones skating a couple years ago and being dumb didn’t let em heal properly so my balance isn’t the best

[dull pilot]

facts.

I'm probably double (or triple) some of y'all's ages, and I longboard daily.

[late minnow]

I'm canadian, more like geneva suggestion.
And no making us wait to play a game has nothing to do with War "rules". And imo, the longer we wait the better it'll be, more time to work on the game means the game will most likely be better and work properly

[muted ether]

rodney mullen stepped back on his board after a hip replacement and the dude is my moms age anyone can get out there

[vital spruce]

Literally. moved house not long back, found my old board. tried a few tricks, got the kickflip, thought yeah i still got it, went for it again, ankle like a balloon

[white sorrel]

The kids over where im at get our skatepark shutdown all the time because of graffiti so always forced to street skate 😔

[late minnow]

Tbh I'm 23 and I'm willing to bet you're older than my father

[hollow hazel]

Hell yeah 🤙🏼 even just the sound and feeling of the wheels on the road or concrete feels like therapy

[dull pilot]

are you willing to be banned for such abuse? HAHAHAH

ouch

(jk, of course)
I'll just tell your dad you're being mean to the elders.

[vital spruce]

Think about picking it back up all the time, just never do. Might pick it back up soon.

[late minnow]

😱

[open osprey]

Get em Jeff

[vital spruce]

ok boomer

[white sorrel]

Yeah i feel you, but im a masochist 😂 in a non sexual way

[scenic gull]

shutup dyno. Why are we roasting jeff????

[dull pilot]

Gen X, buddy.

[late minnow]

Roasting nice people is always fun

[scenic gull]

Jeff still cooler than 3/4 u nerds and I known him 3 min

[dull pilot]

I was born 362 days AFTER Star Wars: Ep IV "A New Hope" released in theaters.

[scenic gull]

oh gosh yeah nvm bully him

[open osprey]

[white sorrel]

You were waiting to say that one weren’t u jeff

[dull pilot]

https://tenor.com/view/getout-gif-16327023334064302194

[late minnow]

Yep you're older than my dad

[scenic gull]

Jeff have you had to ban a lot of people in this discord? just curious

[dull pilot]

nah, I have other cool facts about my birth date.

Same day as h. jon benjamin (Bob from Bob's Burgers, etc.)

[scenic gull]

ah so ur like 45

[open osprey]

Ok that’s actually pretty cool ngl

[scenic gull]

Dude my dad is 60, you're chilling

[foggy hedge]

thats really cool

[scenic gull]

i share a birthday with Charlize Theron, and that alone continues to guide me in the darkest moments of life

[pine musk]

it’s a blessing to live long enough to be called a “boomer” honestly

[scenic gull]

and sidney crosby

[vital spruce]

Didn't think he was, just throwing a 2 years+ old joke out

[late minnow]

Nice, besides some random journalist getting murdered in pakistan literally nothing happened on my birthday

[hollow hazel]

Bruh I checked and I share a bday with Frankie Valli and Machiavelli wth

[dull pilot]

I turn 47 in May.

[white sorrel]

Oh yeah? Its mine AND Johnny Knoxville’s birthday tomorrow

[dull pilot]

That’s sick!

[scenic gull]

young king

[scenic gull]

im ngl idk frankie valli am i too old or too young

[late minnow]

When I was one day old there was a measles outbreak in london, some think I did it but I have a good allibi

[hollow hazel]

Most people are too old he’s 90

[scenic gull]

oh are we allowed to curse

I GOT flagged man idk

[open osprey]

I share a birthday with rob Schneider and vanilla ice

[scenic gull]

[dull pilot]

no, all ages server.

[vital spruce]

https://tenor.com/view/spongebob-patrick-star-noted-notes-gif-26231953

[scenic gull]

no s word?

[vital spruce]

all this personal information

[late minnow]

Swag

[white sorrel]

What the freakin frick man

[hollow hazel]

skate. is the only s word necessary

[dull pilot]

FACTS

[late minnow]

I'd argue that swag is also necessary

[hollow hazel]

I’ll allow it

[open osprey]

Reasonable

[hollow hazel]

I have the Grease theme song in my head now cause Frankie Valli sang it

Not mad

[open osprey]

At least it’s not vanilla ice I’ve got ice ice baby playing in my head

[shadow heart]

is it okay to ask when the next playtest invite wave is?

[white sorrel]

Coach Frank my beloved

[hollow hazel]

Have you heard Under Pressure by Queen

[shadow heart]

didnt ask when it started but okay

[open osprey]

Yes honestly sad ppl haven’t

[empty coyote]

Grease is the word!

[hollow hazel]

It’s a trip out when you figure it’s the same sample

[empty coyote]

That’s such a good song tho

[hollow hazel]

My older sister forced me to watch it so many times that I think I like it now

[proud pendant]

W profile picture

[latent vine]

Coach frank better be in skate

[open osprey]

But so much better than vanilla ice Freddie mercury one the greats

[hollow hazel]

100% he was incredible

[open osprey]

I hope so I need my coach frank

[last bloom]

it aint a skate game without coach frank

[hollow hazel]

I hope skate. has a tutorial that you have to finish to unlock a red headband and white knee high socks

[vale anchor]

Remember the cranberry juice longboard man? I aspire to be that chill daily

[open osprey]

I wouldn’t be opposed to having some white new balance dad shoes as well

[stable galleon]

Hope they do a big black tribute in the new skate game

[proud pendant]

idk if i’m an old fella for saying that but i feel like the artistic direction and overall vibe of skate 1 and 2 were really good and unique and skate 3 was just plain (only talking about the overall vibe)

[hollow hazel]

Ultimate chill goal would be to walk into the forest and have birds and animals just come hang out with you unprompted

[scenic gull]

I think skate. will add a lot of that back

although skate 3 is a great game i know what you're saying

[open osprey]

Disney princess type vibe

[hollow hazel]

Reject capitalism revert to frolicking

[proud pendant]

i don’t think so… which is fine though, maybe it’s because the EA Big studio was behind all this street vibe

even with FIFA street games

[dull pilot]

Dogg Face was a vibe.

[scenic gull]

i mean it already looks like they did add a lot of that cartoonish element back

[open osprey]

Reject the modern world return to monke

[proud pendant]

i wasn’t talking about the cartoonish aspect but more about the street skateboarding culture, graffiti, the camera angles, the shades the overall vibe u see

[scenic gull]

yeah i see that with this game too

[proud pendant]

maybe

[hollow hazel]

There was graffiti in the last highlight video

[proud pendant]

u got what i meant yk like the street skateboarding vibe of the old skate games with the low camera angle and shi

[hollow hazel]

Wait it was more street art

[hollow hazel]

Yeah especially OG skate it had a real gritty vibe, like even the colours and contrast increased as you got a higher score multiplier

[proud pendant]

exactly man, that’s what i’m talking about

[open osprey]

I’m just happy to have the flick it system back in all its glory

[proud pendant]

i think EA Big games were a lot like that, old SSX’s, FIFA street

but i’m not complaining, nowadays the gameplay feels much better and we can do much more

but the vibe man… i miss that

[hollow hazel]

I’d like to see some of that style come back, I also really liked how distinct each district felt like old town was a total different style to downtown

[proud pendant]

u a real one man 💯

[dull pilot]

Until we drop Early Access

[hollow hazel]

Coming from THPS, skate was so realistic at the time and just spending 45 minutes on a single flat bar felt so much fun

Now that I’ve been used to session I’m so hyped to come back to skate. for the vert and transition skating

[proud pendant]

we had the same life man

[proud pendant]

SAME

im so hyped for the skate gameplay, session got me tired man

tired of falling every second

[scenic gull]

god i'm so excited man

[hollow hazel]

Yeah and not even being able to throwdown or do any grabs is just so limiting

[proud pendant]

for real

[open osprey]

Yeah ngl session was a big let down for me

[cosmic oasis]

nothing quite compares to skate tbh

[open osprey]

Tbf tho session isn’t even fully finished hope once it’s fully finished it gets better

[cosmic oasis]

you can tweak settings on session to kinda mimick skate gameplay, saw some video about it the other day

still didn't draw my interest to the game though if I'm being real

[open osprey]

Yeah i regret paying full price for it

[proud pendant]

they shouldn’t have us paid full price for it then, not interested in that anymore tbh, gameplay feels bad

[open osprey]

Yeah they should’ve just done an open beta to get feedback

Small dev team tho so somewhat understandable

[proud pendant]

yeah ure right

[open osprey]

And you def right about this especially with how many bugs it has

[cosmic oasis]

and skate will be free to play anyways, worth the wait over paying for session

[open osprey]

One being not being able to progress past an obj bc the game doesn’t actually register you as doing the trick it’s asking

[scenic gull]

I used to try and play thps3 realistically, but you would end of BS Flipping down a stairset and OVER to the other side of the street lol

[proud pendant]

i know right, the falling system is what made me stop playing, they said it was because it’s realistic, but i skate IRL and still don’t fall like that 😭

i have the same issue

[open osprey]

It’s literally a clipping issue

[hollow hazel]

Man everything was always way too fast as well you try a kickflip back tail and hit the particle accelerator

[open osprey]

Sometimes your board or wheels clip into edges or the ground

[proud pendant]

exactly

[hollow hazel]

I just loved unlocking the clips of skaters to watch as a kid without internet

[proud pendant]

hahahaha mannnn so much memories unlocked

i loved that sm

[hollow hazel]

I used to get my older brother to fax me game cheats lmao

[open osprey]

Oh the memories

[hollow hazel]

I have cheat sheets older than some people here wow

[neon owl]

Session used to have a control mode that mimics skate controls. They removed it later
