general-discussion

[neon owl]

I can't really fuss about too much right now. I have my gripes and concerns, but none is about mtx.

[rough current]

yeah, people are so used to being given a half baked game and paying for the rest later, they immedietly throw hate or shade without even looking into what theyre talking about

every step of the way the devs have said that its entirely optional with no paid advantages, id be inclined to believe em, got no reason so far to not take them at face value

[stone hill]

hello Is it normal that I no longer see the Skate playtest?

[rough current]

i do too, i do also have concerns about mtx but not the common ones, mine are about servers needing paid and potentially not enough money coming in through mtx to support that

[raven imp]

you break nda

[dull pilot]

On the Playtest site?
Did you sign up? If so, you don't have the RSVP link anymore.

It's normal.

[neon owl]

I'd actually be more angry at a half baked game for $70-$80 and then still have to pay more.

[iron ruin]

They needa add different deck shapes 🔥

[neon owl]

Would be sick

[rough current]

real shi...the thing i hate most is "heres the game but for the low price of $30 extra you can have missions that are already finished before launch and were locking behind this paywall because we like money"

whatever happened to just finishing your game?

[scenic gull]

It isnt 2013 anymore

[rough current]

i know but it still annoys me to this day when i see it

[neon owl]

I wish

[vale anchor]

What even is finished. There's always something else to do or fix or polish

[scenic gull]

Hopefully it all works out , only 2 months left max

[scenic gull]

Same here 🥂 same here

[dull pilot]

that's honestly not how it is with a lot of games, despite the narrative that persists.

while a game is in development, other groups in the studio work on more content. it's not always ready for launch, or there's a seasonal reason to release it later.

while there are SOME games that have cut content for later DLC, it's not the standard across the industry.

(I've worked on 25+ games, so I'm not just saying this)

[rough current]

oh i know, im more reffering to companies like ubisoft that still to this day lock finished content at launch behind paywalls

any content after release is completely fine, dlc is dope and i love seeing games continue to expand, its just when they finish the game and then chop pieces off to put in "super duper editions" of games

the worst offenders are games that release in a broken state and still have the nerve to try it

[fiery prairie]

They decided to live up to their name by keeping us soft

[raven imp]

-# you be soft ☝️🤓

[drowsy leaf]

This might just be me but does anybody think pop shuvit to manual is satisfying 😌

[raven imp]

yep manual in downhill so satisfying

plz don’t

[fiery prairie]

Need the Lyon 25 stair gap in skate.

[drowsy leaf]

Text that in the idea chat

[raven imp]

fr

[fiery prairie]

It’s there already

Ill copy past the last message talking about it there

Its been a year since it was posted

[neon owl]

Good times. Either way.. I'm in the mindset of the community and not exactly for myself. It's not right to drag it based on hear-say or early opinions.

[left tiger]

They need to add brain injuries to the game

[vale anchor]

Assuming we don't already have them

[neon owl]

We need a realistic game where if you get injured.. you can't play until you'd recover in real life. Sarcasm.

[scenic gull]

That makes sense , you are a local, thanks for keeping spirit high

Me tho? Im a lil frustrated here and there. But also i am way more happy to have skate coming back

[neon owl]

Positives vs negatives.

[left tiger]

I Just want the stiff ragdolls

[drowsy leaf]

Hey fug are you signing up for the playtest

[left tiger]

I want to dropkick someone so bad

In the game tho(skate)

[fiery prairie]

Yes
Already have

[left tiger]

I hope they add that feature

[fiery prairie]

Need a smoking animation whilst riding (i do not condone smoking)

[drowsy leaf]

Do you want to play together if we get the invite

[neon owl]

Goodnight dudes and dudettes. Don't stress. Game looks good. Skate at its core. Free to play. No pay walls. Earn stuff through progression. Etc. Trust and see what happens. Looks good. Gnite. Peace ✌️

If anything.. be hyped. Nite.

[drowsy leaf]

Is there a game of s.k.a.t.e. option in the playtest yet

[scenic gull]

Only 7 days to goooo

[left tiger]

What other game used the frostbite engine?

[vale anchor]

Get some good sleep bro! Stay cool

[scenic gull]

6 now tbh

[kind turtle]

You’re question will be answered in about 1-4 weeks

[raven imp]

all this countdown just to get in waves 4

[scenic gull]

Madden 25. I liked it, but what madden does is release the same game yearly for $70. So i only buy 1 madden every 6 years

Honestly. Thank GOD that Skate. is not like that. It is free

[neon owl]

100 degrees ❄️

[scenic gull]

HAHAHAHAH that would be my luck

[raven imp]

there’s a text chat in-game btw?

ik u wasn’t talking about this

[fiery prairie]

I must kindly decline the invite. I am as solo adventurer as they get.

Dill Pickle Lays

[scenic gull]

I am going to decline invite to play until last wave

Im built different

[fiery prairie]

Crazy scenes

[wraith snow]

Even tho I’d find that dope, I think they’re going for a pg13 rating which, won’t be allowed with smoking stuff 😭

[vale anchor]

Can't wait to play

[fiery prairie]

True
A drink would be cool then

[scenic gull]

Haven’t you been playing for a year now

Just assuming since you have OG Tag

I’m playing btw lol

[vale anchor]

OG just means former mod here

[scenic gull]

Ooo

Still so cool, wait, how come other
Og tags don’t kick it in the chat

[vale anchor]

They pop in from time to time.
I just have no life

[scenic gull]

Same XD

[wraith snow]

Yk how (I hate that I say this) Fortnite has a bottle flip animation emote?

Imagine a soda drinking animation where u then throw it at a garbage can or something 😭

[dreamy field]

felt that sadly haha

looking forward to seeing all the changes with san van mostly, hopefully skating feels better too

[drowsy leaf]

Oh OK 👍

[trail spade]

tuff pfp

[scenic gull]

You too

I love a cup of the lita

[warm nest]

7 years…

[copper osprey]

I just signed up for the play test, do we know roughly when the new game is going to come out?

[warm nest]

👁️ 👄 👁️

Honey….. 🍯

[vale anchor]

late summer is early release

[warm nest]

🤫

[vale anchor]

[scenic gull]

July 2nd for those so lucky they should immediately play the lottery

Then, invites will roll in waves until all those who signed up get in

[copper osprey]

Got it thank you!

[scenic gull]

Then. The casual public will get to play end of summer. Those are the dads that dont even have social media so didnt sign up

[warm nest]

You mean the wives who are stuck in the kitchen?

[scenic gull]

Funny enough that is the vast majority of players. The casuals.

We are the minority nerds lmao

[copper osprey]

Yeah I'm just a casual teacher myself but don't worry I'm not stuck in the kitchen I can't cook but I can skate lmao

[vale anchor]

Da hub is a better cook anyway

[warm nest]

I can cook & skate… 😉

[copper osprey]

Nice what are you cooking for me then lol

[warm nest]

What do you want?, i’ll make it.

[copper osprey]

Lmaooo any Italian food is good af

[scenic gull]

Who here talking about the hub?!?!

[warm nest]

Like pasta?.. 👁️ 👄 👁️

[warm nest]

👀 the black & orange looking thing on my computer screen?

[scenic gull]

Hahah yeah someone said that was a better cook. I cackled irl

[warm nest]

Well they ain’t wrong…. 🙂‍↔️

[vale anchor]

Da hub as in The Husband omg

[scenic gull]

Hahahah!

[copper osprey]

I definitely took it as the black and orange hub too lmao

[vale anchor]

[me realizing how long I've been saying that and how confused I must've made people]

[warm nest]

Da hub is why i haven’t seen what the colour black looks like forever… ♾️

[mental pewter]

When u sign up for like the skate. Playtest does the option disappear, I applied a while back and I checked on it again and the option to sign up isn’t there.

[vale anchor]

Like this?
#general-discussion message

[meager thistle]

bros been a trymod for a while

[hollow hazel]

I’ll be there waiting for you so we can run to each other with open arms (assuming I get invited before you)

[scenic gull]

Haha you are so going to get invited on july 2nd

I believe in you

[vale anchor]

Actually, used to be one. Now I just spend my time helping out the community where I can while staying hyped for the game I've been waiting for. Good times

[meager thistle]

I know. I read what you said.

[vale anchor]

Proud of you, son

[meager thistle]

You're noticed, keep up the good work.

You're enough.💙

[trail spade]

i love gummies

especially gushers

[vale anchor]

I haven't had gushers in forever

[scenic gull]

I get why i was never tapped to mod this server

Im too much of a wildcard

[hollow hazel]

I definitely didn’t bully trolls when I was a mod in another server by changing their name with server rules of not being able to change your own name, not ever.

[trail spade]

your so malicous

[hollow hazel]

😈
🙏🏼

[mental pewter]

Yuhhh thanks

[vale anchor]

I have my fun in the Halo server. People be peopling in there way too much

[scenic gull]

I love halo , but i never wanted to join. In on their community. For some reason i really just love e-skating communities

[vale anchor]

Waaaaay chiller here

[hollow hazel]

Yeah trolls love trolling until they get trolled. How the turntables

[rich trout]

Damn i havent checked this server in months, how is everyone?

[trail spade]

skate

5

Unique

Are you worthy enough?

We will see

Time

[rich trout]

Yes.

[vale anchor]

Yes

[trail spade]

Yes

[rich trout]

Daniel bryan (sorry i dont have gif perms)

[trail spade]

When the time is right i will simply tell you

[scenic gull]

I prefer lita

[scenic gull]

I am not trolling, truly.

But once skate. drops officially and the wait is over…

When can we start spamming EA’s socials to #MakeSkate5

[supple dagger]

YOOOOO I turned on my Xbox and the first thing I see is skate. “Add it to your wishlist” like YEEAAAAAAHHHH

[copper osprey]

Yeah on Steam it says coming soon!

[kindred badger]

when the playtest releases will there be multiplayer to play with friends?

[dull pilot]

Yeah.
We’ve been having cross platform playtests since December.

[kindred badger]

wow so you will be able to crossplay as a pc player with xbox, playstation, and mobile?

[exotic beacon]

No, only with ppl on Atari systems

[kindred badger]

hahahah funny

[raven imp]

im community manager

whoops wrong account

[ivory river]

did u sign up for playtest?

yes i did

[dull pilot]

nah, I write on the internet for a living.
global community manager….

wait, you’ve been here since September?! come on, now.

lol

[dull pilot]

that’s the plan!
during this next playtest, cross-play and cross-progression will be active across consoles and PC. (we’ve paused mobile testing for now)

[final tinsel]

Hey Jeff the cosmetics can be earned instead of bought correct?

I don’t remember if that was in one of the grinds

[kindred badger]

wow thank you for the info. two quick question is it true that there will be no offline mode? and if there is a story mode coming to the game on the offical release?

[final tinsel]

There won’t be sadly

[final tinsel]

I think it’s in the grind volume 1

[dull pilot]

Check this part of The Grind: Vol 1.
There’s Rip Chips (earnable currency) and San Van Bucks (paid currency).

#1365004983212179578 message

[final tinsel]

Thanks 🫡

[dull pilot]

we’ve got a lot of info coming at ya before Early Access is here.

[final tinsel]

I hope so man, never been this excited For a game. You’re the man Jeff

[raven imp]

yes i like me some chips

oh it’s rip chips, so no chips 😿

[snow lake]

Is it normal for me to receive emails about the RSVP while i allready filled it in?

[silent anvil]

ive asked this a couple times and haven't gotten a response, how do i get confirmation that im signed up? i go to the playtest signup and it says literally nothing about skate anywhere

[river gyro]

Probs a good thing it disappears once you’ve done it

[silent anvil]

people keep talking about receiving emails but i haven't recieved anything

i dont even know if im still signed up

[river gyro]

All the emails are is to remind you to sign up to RSVP

[silent anvil]

i dont even know if i did sign up or not. couple months ago i did some survey where it was asking me about skate and skateboarding but i dont know if that was it

[river gyro]

I mean RSVP has been out for a week or two have you done that

[wraith snow]

step 1: sign up
step 2: fill out the RSVP email
step 3: wait for next email
step 4: enjoy skate. when ur in but remember to shhhh, cause ur under NDA

[silent anvil]

idk even know what rsvp means

[silent anvil]

ive never received any email ever

[wraith snow]

it comes from a french saying but basically means please respond

[silent anvil]

I search "ea" or "skate" in my emails and ive never gotten any emails from them

[wraith snow]

id go to the insider website and make sure ur signed up

[silent anvil]

what is the insider website

#skate-legacy-screenshots where do i go from here

[wraith snow]

dang cant send the link but just go to google and look up

"ea skate insider playtesting"

[silent anvil]

theres nothing that says anything about skate

[silent anvil]

@wraith snow

alright then

[kindred badger]

Just look it up bruh

Not the nettspend cover 😭

[late lark]

Link through email gets a DNS.
Guessing lots are getting an email this morning.
Is the RSVP needed to play if already on the playtest? Asking for a friend 👀

[golden cobalt]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7YZT-Z9QpZg

[wraith snow]

and what about it?

[ebon timber]

I don’t need to resign up do i if ive had it for ages do i?

[trail spade]

Unique

Beef time is ticking

[stable fog]

Wsg yall

Only a week left till it starts

[ember osprey]

When is the full game out

[sly flame]

F the NDA, they've sent 3 reminder of the RSVP mail, they just need to release the half-assed early access so people could start to complain about how rubbish it will look and the mechanics that wont work correctly. been waiting the playtesting roughly about 3+ years, still nada.

[simple swan]

Someones mad, who pissed in your cereal

[river gyro]

I would

[river gyro]

PF pic checks out

[sudden warren]

Ignore them

Typical impatient likely child that doesn't completely understand the process. Let it rock

[gray fjord]

we draw closer and closer!!!

[scenic gull]

Dejay in the house

[gray fjord]

So true

[scenic gull]

We got playtest invites next week

Then 3+4 thps the week after 😍

We do also have Session update happening rn this week. But for once, there is no hype around it??

[gray fjord]

There's so much happening in July, I'm really excited for it

[gray fjord]

It looks a bit underwhelming tbh,, cool that they fixed the camera rail thing tho

I might re-download the game and check it out

[scenic gull]

I guess it is one of those things where it was just too little too late.
Session does have update 2 happening in august and update 3 happening in November ish , so maybe they will nail it harder then

For now tho.. MAFIA FOUR in August 💦

[gray fjord]

Yeah, I don't really think about the game much anymore, I'm still subbed to JL so that's the only reason I noticed the update was happening lol

[hollow hazel]

According to sessions Insta comments their update broke the game lol

[scenic gull]

Ahhh it got capped to 30fps. That is the wildest bug to wake up to lol

[scenic gull]

I will always cherish the memories way back in 2022 when you , me and this whole squad of players would drop Edits and each one would the top on the one before it, creating Art that was so damn good

Sometimes, i will actually revisit those old Edits of mine, and they still stand the test of time.
Not to toot my own horn

[gray fjord]

Yeahh, I miss that, it kept me playing the game sometimes

I especially remember that one set up I made and uploaded, and a ton of people started doing it themselves

[scenic gull]

Oh i had forgotten but that made the memory of that pop up. That spot made me actually use the Diy lol so now i use it more.
But now as in back in the day

I actually stopped playing session like that after summer 2024. These days I either play Halo, wait for Skate. , or I am actually back in school for a course so just not gaming at all

Cant wait to get back into gaming with both Skate. and thps 3+4 thoo

[gray fjord]

I tend to play The Finals or Arma Reforger nowadays

Rematch and Rooftops & Alleys released recently, so once I get those, I will be playing them constantly

[scenic nova]

Fr

[rough current]

arma reforger is a brilliant game, being able to play modded arma with my friends who play on console is a major W

[gray fjord]

And it doesn't seem like a buggy mess, as opposed to Skater XLs console mod menu

I wouldn't have even tried Arma if my brother didn't force me to lol

[rough current]

yeah honestly its surprising, i got a buddy on series s, we play on heavily modded servers and hes still pulling 40+ frames, its wild how well that game actually runs when you look at bohemias track record haha

[rough current]

W brother man, arma is the goat when it comes to milsim games, a learning curve as steep as mountains but super deep mechanics and tons of fun to be had

if you ever wanna brush up on your tactics or get used to the mechanics a lil more theres a server i play as a warm up, its called "tactical barbies" full pve, tons of mods to get used to different weapon platforms

thay called it tactical barbies because the first 10 mins after joining is basically a military dress up game hahaha

[gray fjord]

Yeah, this guy taught me how to snipe yesterday and I hit a 750m headshot on an ai hiding behind cover

[gray fjord]

Lmao, I just throw on whatever and call it enough

I have yet to play PvP, just PvE so far, and I'll probably continue to do that for a while, I know I'll get frustrated with it like I do Insurgency Sandstorm

[rough current]

youd be surprised how fun the Pvp is bro, so long as you are comfortable clearing buildings and your squad has good comms youll do very well

alot of pvp players are either not very good at the game or playing solo/with randos

me and my cousin tear shi up in that game as a 2 man squad, and to be honest im kinda bad at the game, comms and tactics is all you need in most cases, skill can come later

[rough current]

youll do especially well in Pvp if youre a semi-decent sniper with a good spotter beside you, most people try to play it like its cod, bumrush a compound and get turned into a fine red paste

[gray fjord]

Yeah, I noticed that with my teammates in PvE even, and I started playing it just as I really stopped playing COD so I thought the same too till I played the tutorial

[rough current]

yeah arma will very quickly teach you that it aint like cod, youll do nothing playing like cod, gotta take it slow and sweaping every corner or youll be knocked out and start bleeding out

the absolute goat of milsim

[gray fjord]

Yeah, my brother taught me a lot of the controls and tidbits as well, and everytime I play it, I always end up playing till 1-2 am, it's really addictive

[sudden warren]

Can't hurt to try it out!

[rough current]

its always good when you have someone to teach you the controls, it was actually my cousin that taught me how to play, bro was in the military so he spent literal weeks showing me real squad tactics and cqb techniques

theres a running joke in my squad that this dude doesnt have ptsd he has fond memories, bro is the happiest youll ever see him when were playing arma

[gray fjord]

That's basically cheating, so unfair! (joke)

[rough current]

nah fr it actually feels like cheating at times, bro literally had years of training in how this stuff works and is going up against 18 year olds working in mcdonalds who have probably never seen a real gun

its like playing the god damned terminator hahaha

[raven imp]

yo what’s the meta in skate. 🦩

[vale anchor]

Probably a lot of scooters and BMX dirt jumps

[radiant latch]

If you use the sword of night and flame you are scrub in skate /s

[raven imp]

-# ✏️ 🗒️

[crystal shale]

Would I get banned for installing reshade?

[modern radish]

I wouldn’t say banned but I still think I wouldn’t risk it

[radiant latch]

Some how I've made my way into playing Elder Scrolls Oblivion (Never played the OG one).

[vale anchor]

That feels like a loaded question but I think it's probably answered the same way reskin mods for Battlefront 2 work where as long as it's solely cosmetic you are typically fine but there's always a small chance it will be detected via an update or whatever that could end up potentially flagging you as being more than just cosmetic and ending up with a ban

[modern radish]

I would avoid doing stuff with the depth, I’ve heard the game has to inject something for that

[dull pilot]

Well, you have until tomorrow morning to ensure you signed up, so go do it now, just in case.

[modern radish]

I think I’m signed up, I can never tell lol

[vale anchor]

If you've signed up before, then you're good

[modern radish]

Sweet

[radiant latch]

Now you gotta put a deck tech underneath your pillow and pray that the Full Circle Fairies bless your account with Skate / s

[modern radish]

Dang, I gotta go buy a tech deck

[river gyro]

Damn that time already

Fave band just announced a new album and released a new song plus skate damn I’m set to go

[bright rampart]

They should make a temple run style skate. game for phones with the flick it system. Skateboarding on rails so you can one hand your phone and kick it.

[river gyro]

I wonder if skate mobile will get scrapped I’m not saying this but just wondering

[bright rampart]

Body varials would have to be almost non-existent though. Make a button press to prewind for 180 or 360 before you input the flick? I dunno. I'm just looking forward to skate and doing the typical thing of imagining playing it at work.

[radiant latch]

Mobile gaming makes a lot of money

[river gyro]

I’m thinking more hardware

[modern radish]

Are the films required to beat skate 1?

[radiant latch]

if an iphone can run AC Shadows then I am sure skate will be fine

[river gyro]

Wait

It can run ac shadows???

[bright rampart]

Low resolution or 'cloud' processed would be the workaround. I hated the OG Switch for the amount of cloud edition games. Wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't the price of the full game and was just a subscription.

[radiant latch]

cloud for now

[river gyro]

Does that count

[jovial star]

Who is "kate" and why is it the tag lol

[river gyro]

My gf

[kind turtle]

No but it can run resident evil 8 and death stranding

[river gyro]

That’s crazy

Who wants to play re8 on an iPhone tho

[bright rampart]

Kate, Ms. S. Kate. AKA, ⚡ Kate.

[river gyro]

The names Kate

⚡️KATE

[pallid magnet]

oh btw why do some people receive emails before i do, is it because they registered first_

[vale anchor]

Found this with the kt together acting as 1 character so the tag would just be missing the "a" but would also allow for the . at the end
s㏏e.

[delicate tundra]

its waves

[pallid magnet]

oh alr, ty for info

[delicate tundra]

ea comes out in wave so dont worry if u dont get in at first

[delicate tundra]

dw ab it

[modern radish]

Who’s the filmer in skate 1, reminds me of Shingo

[radiant latch]

Reda?

[jovial star]

maybe sk8 would of been great

[tiny prism]

Playtest invites*
Early access is end of summer

[radiant latch]

Reda is still a Photographer / Videographer. would love to see him as a Cameo in Skate but not holding my breathe

[delicate tundra]

tbf they are basicly the same thing

[dull pilot]

Nope. Team is focused on bringing San Vansterdam to mobile devices.

[tiny prism]

No not really lol

[sudden warren]

Giovanni Reda 🐐

[dull pilot]

Correct.

Playtest is invite only and NDA’d
Early Access is “hey y’all, come play some skateboarding!”

[scenic nova]

but isnt like practically everyone gonna get invited to the last playtest wave?

everyone who signs up, that is.. DONT FORGET!!!

[radiant latch]

Not everyone is on Redditt / Discord / Youtube Insta etc

We are like a small percent of actual gamers that use discord, socials, etc for news. (Even myself I am casually up here.)

[vale anchor]

I'm amazed at how many comments I still see out in the wild that say something like "I had no clue they were making another skate, I've been waiting forever!"
I always try to let them know if they sign up now they'll get to play early but makes me think about how many people have been waiting for this and the algorithms, for whatever reason, everywhere hasn't let them know about it

[paper hazel]

can't wait for the new Skate the skate 3 was my childhood game. Regards From Finland

[radiant latch]

@dull pilot will skate have any form of in game chat? (Voice, Proximity, etc?)

[paper hazel]

and how can you sign up for playtest

[pallid magnet]

sadly skate will be with lots of microtransfers and gamemodes are yet to be known

[paper hazel]

well what can you expect now days games are all about microtransactions

[pallid magnet]

skate insiders, sign up and after a bit idk how long you will get a email about it

[paper hazel]

ok thanks

[pallid magnet]

which come in waves, someguys already have the email

[delicate tundra]

lucky bastards

[pallid magnet]

i remember the good times when we had a ps3 and used to play skate 3 on it

[delicate tundra]

i was a xbox 360 player haha

[pallid magnet]

such joy and fun

[raven imp]

do you think they will make a tv advertisement for the game ?

[pallid magnet]

ehh probably not, they dont got a budget like that

[raven imp]

o:

[delicate tundra]

they did a few for tiktok

[gray fjord]

That's basically TV nowadays

[delicate tundra]

yeah u have a point

[pallid magnet]

hmm i wonder, what pc specs would be for skate_

[delicate tundra]

i woudnt say u need the best pc but u would defo need a good one

[pallid magnet]

hopefuly the graphics will get better, like on the latest skate video made 3 months ago

[delicate tundra]

eh over time they will

[pallid magnet]

cuz rn skate 3 graphics look better imo

[delicate tundra]

eh im not to fussed ab it

[gray fjord]

In the latest post for The Grind, they showed a pretty big visual upgrade

[pallid magnet]

imean those look nice yeah but look at skate. latest video 3 months ago

[gray fjord]

What about it?

[pallid magnet]

3 months ago the graphics looked bland, the graphics on the post were decent

[gray fjord]

The games still in pre alpha tbf

[vale anchor]

Did you see some of the texture updates they showed off in the latest grind? #1365004983212179578

[gray fjord]

I love watching that video over and over again, I don't get why it's unlisted tho,,

[pallid magnet]

vol 3 is much better

[vale anchor]

Another alternative tag idea:
㏜an
㎭㏜an

[short stag]

sooo will it have an offline mode by any chance?

[river gyro]

Have you seen the skate 3 pre alpha

[vale anchor]

They said no so until they say something else in the future, no

[pallid magnet]

message got deleted, look it up on yt

[river gyro]

Huh

[vale anchor]

They posted a link to the video but the automod deleted it

[pallid magnet]

skate 3 vs skate. pre alpha

[river gyro]

Like I’m saying skate 3s pre alpha looked awful compared to skates

[short stag]

welp modders i hope will fix that issue, dont see this game servers lasting longer than 5 years since this is an ea f2p game

[pallid magnet]

suprised if it lasts for more than 2

[vale anchor]

You mean the board room Vol 3 or you mean the "PTest Hightlights February 2025" from 3 months ago?

[short stag]

true that

[pallid magnet]

the grind vol 3

[vale anchor]

Oh, I thought you meant one of their older YT vids you were comparing the graphics too

[river gyro]

Isn’t there rumours it re started development? Or

[pallid magnet]

easier version is to just pay for the game, not add microtransfers

[vale anchor]

Eh?

[river gyro]

I heard like someone saying it didn’t start development til 2023 or something

[gray fjord]

I hope it lasts a while, I've wanted this game for so long

[sudden warren]

No lol

[river gyro]

Probs bogus yeah figured

[last tide]

when do emails go

[river gyro]

After July 2nd

[pallid magnet]

emails get sent to you in waves, i think just based on luck, all shoud be out by july 2

[last tide]

when do they start tho june 27?

[pallid magnet]

ends june 27, 2 days

some people already have the email

[vale anchor]

Sign up by June 27, waves start on/after July 2

[river gyro]

Is that true I thought it was just RSVP reminders

[pallid magnet]

might be

[gray fjord]

Sign up ending has me very excited, finally starting the move to Early Access!

[river gyro]

Yeah it is

[pallid magnet]

yeah, but u gotta expect atleast some bugs, i played a game called bmx streets, got updates after the release for 2 days, then they started doing revamp like at the end of 24

so u gotta just hope they will put lots of effort into it

[vale anchor]

Anyone not expecting bugs at this point are setting themselves up for disappointment

[gray fjord]

I'll stay off of when early access releases lol

[pallid magnet]

like 90% of games that are newly released have bugs inthem cs2 etc

[tribal quiver]

Hey guys I tried signing into ea to do the playtest and dosnt load onto the page is there something up with the page ?

[vale anchor]

I meant more so because it's not a finished product and still in alpha

[pallid magnet]

try clearing your cache

[tribal quiver]

Kk thankyou

[dull pilot]

Looks like a DNS error in the UK region.

A recent Google DNS issue in the UK, particularly with Google Public DNS, has caused some users to experience website loading problems. Users have reported that some Google services, including Google.co.uk, might be affected. If you're encountering issues, you can try troubleshooting steps like checking your network connection, clearing your browser's DNS cache, or switching to alternative DNS servers, such as Cloudflare's 1.1.1.1.

[gray fjord]

every game has bugs, no matter how much testing developers do, they can never anticipate what players will do, achieve, and find in terms of glitches and bugs

I will say, the glitches people used in Skate 3 never interested me

Mainly the speed and launch ones

[dull pilot]

correct.
actual access invites start July 2, I believe.

[broken berry]

wait this worked but it didn’t work last night 😭.

[pallid magnet]

i hope skate. will have the same style point counter, would remind me of the skate 3 era

[vale anchor]

Sometimes it's best not to question network errors and just go with it lol

[vale anchor]

I remember being gut punched in Tomb Raider Underworld. I couldn't get past a certain section no matter what I tried only to find out there was a glitch where the ramp you need for the motorcycle to make the jump didn't render in and the only way around it was to load up an earlier save.
I didn't have an earlier save that loaded it in. My only option was to restart the game from the beginning

That's when I learned that if the game gave the ability to use multiple saves, keep multiple at different places as insurance

[rustic heart]

yo, heard the next game will be online only, is that true? 💀

[gray fjord]

Ough, that is rough

[gray fjord]

iirc yeah, this game is online only

[pallid magnet]

so if servers go down gg

[rustic heart]

welp. that's a deal breaker

[pallid magnet]

maybe the game wants more people to be in multiplayer, skate 3 didnt have many people online

[gray fjord]

I do hope they add an offline mode at some point

[rustic heart]

sure this would be cool, but they shouldn't force you

[dull pilot]

The game and city are designed to be a living, breathing massively multiplayer skateboarding sandbox that is always online and always evolving. You'll see bigger things evolve, like changes to the city over time, well as smaller things, like live events and other in-game activities. In order to deliver on our vision of a skateboarding world, the game will always require a live connection.
#1365004983212179578 message|

Make sure to check out #1365004983212179578 channel for all 3 volumes of The Grind - Vol 4 is coming in the next few weeks (currently writing it up right now, so get any questions you'd like to see answered in #1331689579920625796 )

[drowsy leaf]

Good morning guys

[dull pilot]

mornin', HK.

Is that a Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic reference? HK-47 style?

[short stag]

again what will happen to your living breathing city when you realise that theres only max 10k players left and most of them wont bother to pay their irl cash for you cosmetics?

[delicate sequoia]

To each their own

[dull pilot]

That's an interesting hypothetical.
We'll have to see if that day comes. But for now, we can all keep it constructive in this server, yeah? Cool.

[light yarrow]

Hey i have a question : I alrady participated in a previous playtest, what do i need to do to be a part of the july one ?

[delicate sequoia]

Honestly I'll take any type of skateboarding game I can get, and it being free is a bonus.

[dull pilot]

nope, if you're in now you're in until Early Access

[pallid magnet]

btw do the waves start from july 2nd or are they availible rn?

[dull pilot]

i believe they start July 2 with weekly waves

[light yarrow]

so evryone who is registered as a skate. insider will have access from July 2nd ?

[pallid magnet]

only the selected i think in the wave

[raven imp]

if you in 1st wave yes

[light yarrow]

how do i know that ?

[pallid magnet]

are the waves just based on luck, or the time you registered

[bright rampart]

Can the city annex neighboring townships in the event of property disputes? Where do I attend council meetings?

[raven imp]

i wonder if its random or nah

[raven imp]

you’ll get that email 📧

[light yarrow]

ty

[scenic gull]

Luck of draw

[pallid magnet]

and how many people are in 1 wave

[scenic gull]

Oh man. Im sure this july thousands will be invited

[wind linden]

Wait I thought everyone who registers gets a code, it’s another random draw?

[raven imp]

everyone getting a code, but at different times i would say

[wind linden]

Ahh okay

[light yarrow]

That's what i understood from their website too

[wind linden]

Are the waves really weekly, I was thinking every day after the 2nd there would be waves of invites

[pallid magnet]

1 week = 1 wave thats what the community manager said

[wind linden]

So next week people may not even be able to play it could be 2-3 weeks

Hope I’m first wave

[pallid magnet]

kinda stupid it comes in waves, everyone should receive a code at a specific time imo

[fervent sorrel]

Theyre inviting gradually to maintain and secure server stability it really isnt stupid

[pallid magnet]

or atleast make waves more frequently

[scenic gull]

Im hoping for wave 1. But watch me get in on the last wave on july 30th

[pallid magnet]

everyones hopin for 1st wave

[sudden warren]

Invite everyone = break servers = nobody can play at all

[wind linden]

At least we’ll get to see the new main menu

[drowsy leaf]

Just a little bit longer dude

[bright rampart]

Incoming tidal wave? It does look like a city by the sea, so it could be a legitimate fear.

[scenic gull]

I would pay $100 bucks to get in on Wave 1

[wind linden]

Lmao did that really get deleted

[scenic gull]

What was even said , without saying it

[wind linden]

[scenic gull]

Something nda?

[wind linden]

Basically what you just said about paying to get in wave 1

[scenic gull]

WHAT but it is so true though. I would bust open my wallet flap and pay cold cash to get in on wave 1

[sudden warren]

You'll get to see alot ! Lol

[wind linden]

Facts

Wonder if they’re gonna add OG parks cuz the mega park is too iconic to not be able to experience it in modern graphics

[sudden warren]

I've been forced to play SUMP enough

[wind linden]

I wonder if there are any new parks playtesters have tried that give the vibe of being the new version of SUMP

[bright rampart]

A THPS Collab with a hangar spot would be cool. It is neat that since it is online and ever developing, there's potential for some of these crazy hypotheticals.

[wind linden]

I hope the soundtrack is good cuz skate 3’s was peak

Put on 🔥

[scenic gull]

I honestly just hope for a Spotify integration button

[wind linden]

That would be crazy

Not Spotify specifically but if you could just upload your own music, imagine if it could play during online matches too when it’s your turn everyone listens

I’m sure it’d need to be moderated heavily tho lmao

[sudden warren]

Would never happen unfortunately

Licensing would never allow that

[bright rampart]

I just did a search for music on the skate suggestions channel and it does look like there's a ton of requests for custom music in some capacity. Which is not surprising. I was happy to hear Run the Jewels in the new THPS demo, they usually come through on soundtracks. For something like skate. mmo, a revolving community suggested playlist that's voted on could be a cool idea.

[river gyro]

Unpopular opinion but the mega park is meh

[dull pilot]

if you're on PC, you won't get a code. we'll just add the game to your account when it's your wave.

for console, you'll receive your code via email when your wave comes up.

NOTE: it's STRONGLY recommended your Gamertag or PSN ID is linked to the same account you signed up to Playtest.

[sudden warren]

Agree. But thats just because I've overplayed it because of playing online

[wind linden]

Is there an idea of how long the waves will span? Will everyone be in by end of month or earlier?

[wind linden]

What’s the best park then

[river gyro]

In skate 3 or in skate in general

[wind linden]

3

[river gyro]

Sheesh tbf I think it’s the weakest map. Out of the 3. I skate at second and navy the most but idk rosalita

Or goofy vs regular

In the whole series training facility

[vast gale]

What's y'alls favorite Skate trick?

I'd like to hear responses.

[scenic nova]

[vast gale]

Personally, I like the Laser Flip, it's sick.

[river gyro]

On skate nollie inward heel 180

[pallid magnet]

btw are dark heelflips and those coming to skate. ?

[scenic nova]

not confirmed

[vast gale]

heelfli[s are a thing

[hallow locust]

Hope it's ok to ask but how do u add friends to play with cause friend just got access to gane but I can't seem to find a way to add them and when I Google it it only find ways for skate 3 from years ago

[vale anchor]

Seeing a clean popshuv FS body varial scratches an itch in my brain

[scenic gull]

[scenic gull]

It is wild to think abbout now actually lol

[vale anchor]

Wait, what would 1st and (?) be?

[river gyro]

[scenic gull]

OOOO @scenic nova my bad my bad. Naming of irl vs skate 3 game hahha my bad i confused yall

I didnt realize skate overwrote the name

[scenic nova]

ohhhh lmfao

[river gyro]

Yeah lmao it’s 3rd and army irl

[scenic gull]

Didnt realize skate changed name. I just simply recognized it irl so i had always called it by real name

[vale anchor]

1th

[river gyro]

Isn’t hubba hideout in skate 1

[scenic gull]

[river gyro]

[vale anchor]

[sudden warren]

[river gyro]

Man the first ever thing I seen on 3rd and army was a guy called finger skate selective review the tech deck set on YouTube

[scenic gull]

Yes it is! This spot also made it in Thps and session

[river gyro]

Thps also has carls bad (rip)

[dreamy field]

[dreamy field]

Skate 3's mega park?

[river gyro]

Finger skate selective now in HD

[dreamy field]

[red iris]

[dull pilot]

if you're not in the first wave, you'll be in a following wave.

[red iris]

Alright thanks so much!

[drowsy leaf]

No it's not a reference

[trail spade]

spaghetti wednesday

[coarse arch]

Do u think it might take longer for some people to get in dew to how many people may have resubmitted requests a lot of time

[trail spade]

Does anyone know how much space does the game take yet or is it also NDA?

[trail spade]

Its already said its coming out in waves of people not all at once bro

[dull pilot]

Yes, the playtest is under NDA.

[dull pilot]

We purge the duplicate signups.

[vital kernel]

Coach Frank says:

RE: Playtesting Discussion in this Server

you cannot, in any way, discuss details of being in the Playtesting program, receiving emails/invites, your status in the Playtesting program, details about the playtest build or activities as you agreed to the Playtesting Pre-Release Confidentiality Agreement (NDA) when you signed up as a skate. Insider/EA Playtester.

per the agreement, until the NDA is lifted, you may only state "I signed up."

this is not a playtest support server, and we cannot share details on current or upcoming Playtests outside of what we have shared in the #announcements #game-announcements or #1214598970370957374 sections.

all needed information will be sent to invited playtesters via email prior to or as their testing wave starts.

your fellow community members are trying to remind you of this to avoid infractions that could result in the Moderation team giving you a warning, timeout or mute, or even remove you from the server (as it is called out in the #rules - and we don't want that to happen to anyone.)

[pallid magnet]

offline not sure

[trail spade]

Are you worthy enough?

[dreamy field]

July 2nd is getting closer

[dreamy field]

feels like we've been on this current build for awhile so I cant wait for the new build

[trail spade]

I am

Time will tell us

Time explains what words never could

[spring thistle]

Yoooo

[trail spade]

time doesn't care if you did or tried. It only shows what you became.

Violence reshapes flesh, but not the soul. To truly change a man, you must tear open his consciousness—only then will truth flood in.

No matter how the current resists, the river surrenders only to the sea, as all things do in TIME.

True, but sometimes the weight of today’s task only reveals its meaning when tomorrow arrives.

[rustic heart]

welp, that's sadly a big dealbreaker
as a preferred solo player, i feel like im left out after waiting too many years for a new title and now that

[trail spade]

Im sure they may add a private mode of some sort

[red iris]

Will I be able to give my friends codes when I get my code ?

[dull pilot]

well, we did announce back in December/January in the playtest forums that major updates come quarterly, with hotfixes and back-end fixes coming between those.
the last was in March, so it's still on track for 0.27 to be quarterly.

[fervent sorrel]

As in theres no option to get in then or fixin the sign up amount to 1 for the acc?

[rustic heart]

that still requires an internet connection, would be the same at the end of the day

[dull pilot]

removing duplicates, that's all.

[fervent sorrel]

Aye makes sense, ty for clarifying

[dull pilot]

if your friends sign up before tomorrow, they won't need one.

[red iris]

Alright thanks!

[worldly sluice]

The new Fantastic 4 trailer is crazyyyy good

[red iris]

This game is gonna be peak

[dull pilot]

i'm interested in how they will move to the MCU timeline, since we know they're gonna be in Avengers 4.

[pallid magnet]

it will not have offline

[red iris]

So ?

[pallid magnet]

gonna be all microtransfers

[red iris]

Ur angry about have a choice to spend money ?

[rustic heart]

just you wait until server maintenance

[pallid magnet]

nope, game wont last long like that

[red iris]

if people like it : )

[worldly sluice]

honestly same I think reed is gonna make a shift when they go through the black whole, orrrr their sonn franklin will do something on accident

[rustic heart]

imagine, coming home from a long day of work
u wanna play ur game, throw on your ps or pc and hit up skate and get met with a big ahh "couldn't connect to the server's try again later" or stuff like that

[dull pilot]

we've stated the following:
no pay to win
no gameplay locked behind paywalls
more areas will be added over time
paid cosmetics are optional, there's plenty of earnable items (even more coming in update 0.27)

[pallid magnet]

oh alr, but i think the 0.27 update has been released no?

or soon

[dull pilot]

no, it hasn't. it's coming July 2, 2025 after a maintenance window.

[abstract galleon]

i need help from someone, got the email to RSVP for the upcoming playtest that everyone is allowed to do, but when i click the links it never sends me to a page to RSVP and on the EA Playtesting website I dont see it anywhere.

[pallid magnet]

but idk how the game will last with only microtransfers, shouldnt u just pay for the game and you can add microtransfers later?

[dull pilot]

no, because we don't want to paywall getting into the game.

again, they're optional.

[dull pilot]

then you already RSVP'd. if it's not showing in the Playtesting site, you're good to go.

[bright rampart]

Need another automated message stating these repeated questions. 😂

[pallid magnet]

i havent even gotten the email

[dull pilot]

did you just sign up like in the last couple of days?

[pallid magnet]

yeah...

[dull pilot]

well, we've updated the UI for 0.27.

i feel you should wait until you jump in and then give feedback on the playtest forums on what's working/not working in regards to the UI so we can continue to improve it.

skate. will be launching in Early Access on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series S/X, and PC (EA App, Steam, and Epic Game Store) in 2025.
and the team is dedicated to bring it to iOS and Android - we'll have more details to share on that in the coming months.

[candid ember]

I went to the link to sign up before June 27 but I can’t see the skate forum does this mean I’ve done it already?

[dull pilot]

you can't access the forum until you're invited to the playtest.

[candid ember]

No I mean like the link on zexyzek yt newest video

Like the test or quiz?

[pallid magnet]

so u signed up and filled the quetion's?

[candid ember]

Yh

[dull pilot]

then you're good.

[candid ember]

Bet

[scenic gull]

what what are u guys talkin about. the test or quiz??!?

[dull pilot]

you confused me when you said "forum".
if you meant "form", that makes more sense.

[candid ember]

Just to make sure can I check if I’ve done it?

[dull pilot]

did you do it?

[candid ember]

Yh

[dull pilot]

#general-discussion message

[scenic gull]

chat

[candid ember]

Wait what happens if I did it like what will happen?

[dull pilot]

if you signed up, when it's your wave, you'll get an email. just keep an eye on your email inbox.

[scenic gull]

btw since ur a mod im just gonna ask this. ik talkin about playtests and whatnot is prohibted cuz NDA. but one thing. in the ea playtest website. there is a section called "your playtest" and there is red text saying "you do not have any upcoming playtests" we all have this right? i assumed it should say skate there

[candid ember]

Do I get it after June 27 or can it happen before then?

[pallid magnet]

Yup! after you have signed up

[dull pilot]

i'm not a mod. (Global Community Manager)

if you don't see the skate. Playtest there but you signed up, you're fine.

[dull pilot]

you wait for an email.

[scenic gull]

alright appreciate the feedback!

[candid ember]

Can’t wait for my wave

[candid ember]

Do u have it

[dull pilot]

do I have what?

[candid ember]

The new skate game

[simple swan]

Nda brudda cant talk bout it

[dull pilot]

I work for EA on skate. - yes, I've been playtesting for a few years internally and in every Insider Playtest.

[pallid magnet]

i hope coach frank will be in skate.

[simple swan]

Better be

[candid ember]

Fr

[trail spade]

i wonder why they decided to make this game ftp

[dull pilot]

Watch The Board Room videos on Youtube #youtube-feed

[pallid magnet]

they will basicly earn money from the game cosmetics etc

[bright rampart]

Or better yet, an entire Jay and Silent Bob Collab with the actors across their universe.

[simple swan]

No, just coach frank

[pallid magnet]

atleast jay and silent bob if not coach frank

[candid ember]

The name skate. reminds me of skate. (2007)

[bright rampart]

I want Coach Frank to say Snoochie Boochies.

[candid ember]

Why wasn’t Big Black In Skate 3?

[simple swan]

Probably personal reasons

[scenic nova]

@gleaming peak watching ur new vid while eating a pop tart

[candid ember]

K

[gleaming peak]

W Snack

[simple swan]

But what kind of pop tart?

[scenic nova]

strawberry

[gleaming peak]

he was scrapped, but I think he was actually meant to be in the game. No clue why he wasnt

[gleaming peak]

FIRE !!

[gleaming peak]

you know its so weird, the game from 2007 is sometimes called "Skate." but is always called "Skate". No idea why different platforms have given it different names

[dull pilot]

check #1365004983212179578
added the comparison pics of 0.26 and 0.27 - full size images/not split.

[pallid magnet]

nice improvements

[dull pilot]

it's even sicker when you're skating around and whatnot.

[delicate tundra]

All I’m hoping for is no loading screens

[pallid magnet]

so is the map fully finished with detailing? or

[dull pilot]

read The Grind: Vol 3
#1365004983212179578 message

[pallid magnet]

crazy that they made the game look better and improved performance

[delicate tundra]

Yeah fr

[vale anchor]

Look at you breaking more NDA

[sharp socket]

balls

[scenic nova]

pics in #1365004983212179578 are siiickkk

[vale anchor]

Nice to have the full comparison

[jaunty wigeon]

so is the next playtest going to stay up until early access?

[modern radish]

I’ve heard the community center was in skate, does that mean other well known spots are going to be in it?

[dull pilot]

my tattoo is my NDA. I'm good

[dull pilot]

yup

[jaunty wigeon]

so its lowkey a soft release? nice!

[vale anchor]

So if I get a skate. tattoo...

[dull pilot]

then you have to get a job here, and be here for 15 years and sign like 100 NDAs in that time.

[vale anchor]

https://tenor.com/view/pirates-yesbutno-gif-1502181837354549727

[jaunty wigeon]

why no?

[jaunty wigeon]

skate. 2 playtest confirmedß?!?!?

[carmine gale]

You can pre-download skate on Xbox, sadly it doesn’t load though lol. Just a really cool splash screen before you’re booted back to the Xbox Dashboard

[vale anchor]

I think I can manage that in a few days. Challenge accepted! Lemme find my needles and ink real quick...

[vale anchor]

Cause it's still a closed test and if you don't sign up by the deadline, you don't get in

[jaunty wigeon]

oh btw i was wondering, if you were a tester before and didnt sign up to the form, do you still get access or nah?

[dull pilot]

if you previously playtested, you're in the lists of signups. you'll get invited.

[worldly sluice]

I think you should still rsvp js in case

[jaunty wigeon]

alrighty

[worldly sluice]

nvm

[dull pilot]

as Reagan said, still RSVP just in case.

[carmine gale]

Game on Series X is 6.9GB and 1GB for Reserved Space

[worldly sluice]

then I take back my nvm

[dull pilot]

too late. it's in my pocket.
no take-backs!

[timid lily]

I hope you guys go with the art style of the old games I’ve been a long time fan of the skate series and also skateboard in real life

[radiant latch]

Will there be pizza in the game?

[vale anchor]

Idk but looks like there's gonna be sloppy janes #1365004983212179578

[river gyro]

What kinda pizza

[radiant latch]

Pepperoni 🍕

[timid lily]

Quick question if I already have the latest playtest downloaded do I still have to sign up for the new one or will the current playtest just update on my console?

[river gyro]

Nah gotta be bbq chicken or kebab pizza with garlic sauce

[vale anchor]

[river gyro]

The worst

[radiant latch]

Mandatory on a burger especially a smash burger

[silent anvil]

is there a direct link to the playtest signup you can send me because i just cant figure this out. when i search "skate insider playtest" and press signup, it shows up with literally absolutely nothing related to skate at all

[pallid magnet]

wait so will skate. have gamemodes like skate, hall of death etc?

[silent anvil]

hall of meat

[mighty badge]

i got a email about an RSVP survery but already did the survery do i fill it out again?

[final tinsel]

Legit just google it

First link type skate insider

[final tinsel]

No, I did to be safe tho

[dull pilot]

https://skate.game/insider

[dull pilot]

hey tim, again, check #1365004983212179578. we've answered a lot of questions and shared a bunch of info in Volumes 1 - 3.

[final tinsel]

@dull pilot is it normal for the registration to disappear on the playtesting site?

[dull pilot]

if you signed up already, yep

[silent anvil]

i do that, but people keep saying that i also need to fill an email??

[final tinsel]

No once you do that you’re good

[pallid magnet]

alr ty

[final tinsel]

There’s an rsvp but they said if you signed up you’re good

[dull pilot]

did you get an email? if not, you're fine.
if you just signed up, you won't get an RSVP email - it's specifically for folks that are currently in the test or signed up long ago.

[silent anvil]

okay so that dude was just lying out his azz then

[final tinsel]

I still did the rsvp email to be safe

[dull pilot]

which dude would that be?

[final tinsel]

Once you’re signed up you’re good tho

[silent anvil]

idk some guy with a toad pfp

[final tinsel]

Don’t worry about it dude as long as you signed up you’ll get invited this month

[silent anvil]

just find it weird how theres no proper way to tell that you're for a fact signed up

[final tinsel]

Have you gotten emails

They’ll email you that you completed registration

[dull pilot]

if you completed the form, the end page says you're signed up.
when it's time for your wave, you'll get more info via email.

[dull pilot]

no, we don't email when you complete the registration. we email when it's time for you to get into the playtest

[final tinsel]

Oh, I got emails saying I signed up for electronic arts playtesting I thought

Nvm it was for signing up to EA not skate specifically

[dull pilot]

yep

[bright rampart]

The new spicy dill pickle ruffles are 🔥

[river gyro]

Yous don’t have the all mighty pickled onion monster munch tho

[warm acorn]

if i get the game on steam when it enters early access, will i get my insider rewards as long as my steam and EA account are connected?

oh heck idk if this is the channel to ask, my fault if it is

[dull pilot]

yup. as long as your accounts are linked, yes.

[warm acorn]

YESSS

[silent anvil]

when skate comes out its over for skater xl and session

eh actually session might survive just cause of how realistic and hard it is

[carmine gale]

I’m gonna lose my mind, my Xbox is linked through an old email that has been deleted and I can’t update it, ffs

Trying to get EA support to put me in contact with a live agent and not some stupid AI Garbage

[bright rampart]

I think they'll be all right. Different kicks for different folks. It's good to have so many skateboarding games these days though!

[timber turret]

how is dingo related to skate.

I'm so confused because I saw someone playing "dingo"

I searched it up and it brought me to skate.

just a stupid question

[modern radish]

Playing skate 1, and for some reason whenever I go in the air I just start glitching

[delicate tundra]

could be the games exe directory

[timber turret]

I'm thinking it's a code name or smth

[delicate tundra]

yeah or that

[river gyro]

Ah guys… actually nvm I can’t say it. Was warning about the Xbox club and skate but nvm

[delicate tundra]

what xbox club

[river gyro]

Like how Xbox games have clubs on the console

[delicate tundra]

yh but we cant get into that yet can we

[river gyro]

Yes we can and put it this way if people don’t want the game spoilt don’t go on it

[modern radish]

Even like this, I csnt seem to break my pelvis

[oblique shuttle]

im excited to play

[neon owl]

3 days straight, chilling outside in 100 degree weather 😎

Gonna cool down for the rest of the week and probably for a while. 80s next week. Supposed to storm tonight and for the next few days

[delicate tundra]

i have a heat wave saturday n sunday

[neon owl]

Went to my grandma's. She loves the heat. She has her thermostat set to 80. I was dripping in the house

80 is way worse inside than outside.

[neon owl]

What's it supposed to be?

[modern radish]

I’ve had heat advisory for like 4 days now

[delicate tundra]

idk but alot

also why cant i say the f word now

[neon owl]

Same. lmao. They keep giving me a heat index for 108. I don't even know what the real temperature is other than what the car says.

[delicate tundra]

this isnt on

[neon owl]

Wirty dord

[modern radish]

I got a pretty interesting Skate 1 glitch

[delicate tundra]

cant say the f word isnt on

[neon owl]

My grandma went out and push mowed her lawn yesterday in this weather. Insane. I wouldve done it if i known. I've been working today too, but it's pretty warm.

[modern radish]

I really wanna go out and try to learn to Ollie but I rather not melt

[neon owl]

lol. I'd rather skate in the heat than in the cold. Winter makes falls hurt worse. But if you get a scrape on hot concrete.. that sucks too.

[modern radish]

I’ve always liked winter tbh

[neon owl]

I like the snow. But when it comes to skating.. it just seems to hurt worse. Other than that, yea.. winter is better. I prefer spring or fall at 72 degrees

[modern radish]

Skating on snow sounds cool but I’m sure it just doesn’t work

Pun not intended lol

[neon owl]

I don't mean skating on snow. lol. But I love snow.

[warm nest]

Imagine those snow skates in skate 👀

[neon owl]

There are 'snow skates' tho.

[neon owl]

Yes. Would love it

[warm nest]

I have one lol, never use it 😶‍🌫️

[modern radish]

I know, I just thought of snow tbh, I am easily side tracked

[warm nest]

You need a big ass hill or something dope to use it on.. could go to the skatepark but you’d need like a pully to gain some gnarly speed

[neon owl]

I've seen videos where people will run and jump on their snow skates and skate like normal. It's crazy to see.

[delicate tundra]

spring is peak for skateing summers to hot and its always raining in winter

[modern radish]

Skating in the rain looks cool, I’m sure the puddles doesn’t help tho

[dull pilot]

codenames are just codenames

[dull pilot]

[neon owl]

Waterlogged. But I've done it with old boards idc about

[carmine gale]

I got it! thank you so much

I was with support for the past hour figuring it all out and got it fixed up. I just want to be ready for Skate.

[dull pilot]

That makes me so happy, buddy! See you in San Van!

[carmine gale]

thank you so much, and I am very sorry that I was a douche a few times a while ago (back in February)

[little ruin]

are there certain clothing items that you can get after opening every lootbox?

[wet path]

hello

[dull pilot]

no worries, dude.

[modern radish]

I think you gotta be 18 bc if the NDA

[drowsy leaf]

So am im not going to be able to play I'm 14

[umbral comet]

Early access awaits near the end of summer!

[dull pilot]

To participate in Electronic Arts (EA) playtesting, individuals must be at least 18 years old. This age requirement applies to signing up and participating in playtests.

[umbral comet]

I haven't seen much discussion about the need for 150 players in a server at once for skate. I hope there is upcoming info about what will make 150 players necessary or fun. Otherwise, it might feel like a crowded skatepark!

[dull pilot]

the city is a lot bigger than a crowded skatepark - and it's not just flat.
there's a whole verticality of the city - with spots on buildings to throw down and have fun.

[umbral comet]

Cool, hoping for server wide activities that give the game a reason to have everyone there. Otherwise, everyone else is just an NPC

[dull pilot]

Might want to read the EA Playtesting Pre-Release Agreement: https://tos.ea.com/legalapp/prfa/us/en/closed/

[dull pilot]

By participating in the Pre-Release Feedback Program, you agree that:

A. Your access to the Pre-Release Feedback Program begins once you install or access the Pre-Release Feedback Materials and ends when the Pre-Release Feedback Program expires unless extended or terminated earlier.

B. An Internet connection and EA Account may be required to participate in the Pre-Release Feedback. To create an EA Account, you must provide a valid email address. You must be eligible to participate in the Pre-Release Feedback Program and be a resident of a country where participation in the Pre-Release Feedback Program is permitted.

C. You are 18 years of age or older.

[umbral comet]

Is the next skate release in July going to have a complete graphics pass? Meaning will all the graphics be close to finished? I guess I'm also assuming that Early Access will have a complete graphics pass 😄

[kindred badger]

is the story mode in development or are they focusing more on the multiplayer experience?

[dull pilot]

check #1365004983212179578 Vol 3 posts. we talk about the visual updates and even have a video to show you what it will look like in-game.

[umbral comet]

Thanks! I saw the video. Looking better! Looking forward to seeing where it all goes. Hopefully hear more about pros and skate brands soon.

[kindred badger]

damn

[raven imp]

big city life

[hollow hazel]

If so they also run the same risks then

[tiny prism]

Why are you trying to rule lawyer a legal contract
Get an actual lawyer if you wanna do that man

[warm nest]

Child!

[kindred badger]

i mean your spelling sure as "shure" and u did that twice so its kinda obvious that you're below 18 tbh

[tiny prism]

I've seen many many English-first-language people from around the world who I know arent kids with way worse spelling and grammar lol

That really doesn't mean anything

[kindred badger]

thats true but it gives a feel that he is

[tiny prism]

Dogging on randoms gives a different feel

[kindred badger]

im not dogging im just saying that he seems below 18

[hollow hazel]

You literally typed and sent a message here saying how old you are I really don’t think they’d need to hire a private investigator to find that out

[trail warren]

I hope this is better than mario kart world

[kindred badger]

it better be i havent waited for over a decade for this game to be bad

[drowsy leaf]

I'm just trying to play skate 😫

[trail warren]

I really hope it is because mario kart world is boring as hell man

Nintendo rigged the game.

[kindred badger]

i played mario kart 8, didnt buy the switch 2 cause way to expensive

[trail warren]

Its same price as series x

[kindred badger]

yea but the games are a ridiclous price, controllers are stupid price, plus online subscription

[trail warren]

Yeah even game chat not being free is stupid

Why i kinda wanna go back to xbox right now.

[kindred badger]

nintendo is just greedy thats really how it is

[hollow hazel]

Damn it sounds like Nintendo just hates their customers lol

[trail warren]

Honestly every company is right now because imaging paying for internet plus membership its ridiculous stupid

[kindred badger]

yea thats why i switched to pc

[trail warren]

Good thing i have a pc

[drowsy leaf]

Yeah I thought the Nintendo switch 2 was pointless

[trail warren]

It is lol i tried it got bored fast not even interested in the new games

[carmine gale]

I love my Switch 2

[trail warren]

Even mario kart world to because how rigged they did it.

So its good choice for me to switch to pc why im rebuilding my setup to make it look better

[drowsy leaf]

Sorry I'm just not a Nintendo fan I guess

[kindred badger]

well if you play online play there is so many strategies from mario kart 8 i learned that transfer into mario kart world. For example there is chaining, bagging, and chasing, tricking again when you hit the water

[trail warren]

I use to be a nintendo fan

[carmine gale]

I have a Switch 1 & 2, Series X and Gaming PC lol, I have a variety of things to play on

[trail warren]

Yeah but they rigged the bullet bill

[carmine gale]

Yeah, plus I grew up in that generation where Nintendo was on top at the time

[kindred badger]

nintendo 64 is top 3 console oat

[carmine gale]

It’s a good console, I have one of them lol

[trail warren]

I grew up during the good days when the wii and ds came out

[drowsy leaf]

I have a xbox 1 a wii and a ps5 and a ps4, Nintendo switch

[carmine gale]

Me too, the DS came out 7 months after I was born lmao

[trail warren]

I have everything

[trail warren]

Ah lol i was alive when it came out and got it day one

I even got the ps2 as well.

[carmine gale]

That’s awesome, I got the Switch 2 on day one lol

[drowsy leaf]

Gutar hero is so fun

[trail warren]

Same but i wish i never wasted money

[trail warren]

It really was fun.

[carmine gale]

I save most of my money tbh

[trail warren]

Yeah but i still wish i didnt waste it i should of got like a new pc because i had mine for years

[gusty snow]

skat 11

[trail warren]

And i didnt realize how i wouldnt play mario kart world as well

[carmine gale]

Ahh okay, you’ll get a new pc soon hopefully

[trail warren]

Compared to the other mario karts the other ones are cooler than the new one

[trail warren]

Already bought one but i still wish i had that 600 bucks

[carmine gale]

I’m mixed on World, it’s a good concept and I enjoyed the races and the open world aspect but it’s just like, I’m mixed on it

[trail warren]

I do love the old tracks but the game being so rigged is not cool

[carmine gale]

Yeah it was, they used ai to mimic your driving, I hated it, it was a long process to get all three stars on all modes at 150cc

[trail warren]

Its surprisingly cool they added toads factory back

And ds arship fortress and mario kart 7 wario ship yard

[carmine gale]

I loved that they brought those tracks back, felt nostalgic

[trail warren]

Yeah

[tepid dome]

Excited to play this new skate game

[trail warren]

Same.

[carmine gale]

Agreed

[dull pilot]

and deleting messages - we have logs. lol
hahaah

[trail warren]

Yo jeff i can play offline without membership right?

Or do i need it?

[dull pilot]

there's no offline in skate., and you don't need PS+ or Xbox Live to play skate.

[trail warren]

Sweet

[trail warren]

We should play some original xbox sometime

[carmine gale]

I really hope they drop it on Switch / Switch 2, I’d love to play it on the go (like at lunch during work for example)

When I got my Switch 2 I told my boss and he was like “I knew you were gonna get it” lmao

[trail warren]

Bring a gaming laptop

[carmine gale]

Maybe, I already have a PC though lol plus always bad luck with laptops

[trail warren]

Better option for when you work

[neon owl]

lol.

[carmine gale]

That’s true, just wish I had better luck with laptops

[trail warren]

Easy finding one

[neon owl]

No gaming laptop here. Mine is 2014. But I only use it for occasional use. Straight for making stickers or thumbnails, etc.

[trail warren]

Nice

[carmine gale]

Wish I had a proper use for a work laptop

I mainly work with ancient slow computers with Windows 10 and a buggy POS System

[hollow hazel]

Who else is ready to go get some double dip donuts in San Vansterdam

[bleak viper]

Sessions has a sick new update

[tepid dome]

I played it. Seemed more fun then when I had last hopped on but I suck at it 😂.

[sudden warren]

Good morning toasty!

[neon owl]

It's 9pm brotha

[sudden warren]

You haven't been here as much, so good morning to this stint of your chat time

[neon owl]

I'm just chilling in the heat tonight and bored. So I'm hanging out. lol

[sudden warren]

Same dude

Getting a little game session in before bed

[bright rampart]

Anyone try Session on the Switch? Since I picked up the 2, I debated on it to have a portable skate game, but the snapshots look really low res. I'm not normally adverse to a graphical hit, but since I played it on PC, my expectations of the game were a little higher.

[worldly sluice]

yoooo has anyone played the new rooftops and allys game????

[loud thicket]

yea

[raven imp]

wait session on switch ? lol

[cosmic flame]

Is there a way for the devs to make skate not quick resumable

[pale bolt]

I signed up for play test will I be able to play it?

[raven imp]

type shi

[rough current]

its online only, most online only games dont work with quick resume anyways

[lean maple]

are the speed glitches even allowed

[tiny prism]

wdym by "allowed"

like, are they gonna jail you if you do one (no)

[cosmic flame]

Hence why I asked if they could make it to where you can’t quick resume it so you don’t gotta restart your game

[torn harbor]

Crazy

[kind turtle]

It’s alright. It definitely doesn’t look the best in handheld mode, which is going to be an issue on switch 2 because it’ll be a lot more noticeable on a bigger 1080p screen. It ran pretty decently on switch so there shouldn’t be any performance issues on switch 2.

[raven imp]

blawg

[dreamy field]

blawg

[hearty marsh]

i hope i got accepted for playtesting

[scenic gull]

Paid my debt to society, i could kiss the ground of this server

[scenic gull]

Made it to Phoenix , layover. It hit 110° raw, feels like 120 , CRAZY

[silent anvil]

im waiting for them to fix the new fps bug in the new update

[scenic gull]

Session got ported to switch couple years ago as a Snapshot.
Which means session from 2 years ago is the switch version permanently forever

[raven imp]

if it was me i would cancel my session tbf

[tepid solar]

fore the tag why did u guys do kate instead of skte

[raven imp]

it should have been skrt

-# 💨

[kind turtle]

The lightning bolt is the S

That being said I still read it as Kate instead of skate at first glance

[scenic gull]

I said the same thing!!

I was literally like why is everyone into kate

How many of Yall have shoe goo on your shoes

✋

[halcyon flume]

Whenever I try to sigh up for the Playlist it says it's gonna send me an email so I can confirm my sign in on Playstation but it never sends me an email can someone help me 🙏

[dull pilot]

Are you using your PSN account to sign into the EA account on the Playtesting site?

[halcyon flume]

Yes

[flat ermine]

Hello, can someone help me? I received an email to confirm my presence at Skate. RSVP, but when I click on the link I go to EA Playtesting and nothing appears about confirming presence or any survey. It only appears to do tests for Battlefield and Apex Legends, what do I do?

[silent anvil]

then you're done

you're not meant to get an email

thats what ive been told atleast

wait i read the message wrong nvm i cant help you with that

[scenic gull]

I wanna eat a pootart now

[tiny fiber]

skate rsvp keeps spamming me

got like 4 emails a day saying i should rsvp

[frozen tapir]

What’s good people what’s the move for today

[silent anvil]

same i need help with this as well

[quick rock]

Did the earlier playtests have tricks from earlier skate games?

[silent anvil]

i wish someone could just make a simple a to b tutorial video on how to sign up because all the help ive been getting has either been useless or doesn't work

[opal crystal]

Hi I've heard that you can get access to the game to test it? Is it true?

[warm nest]

Another day of thinking about SKATE while I work for 8 hours… 😮‍💨

[pallid magnet]

search up skate insiders, press register now , select skate. and awnser the questions and ur good to go

and if you have done it right u shouldnt see skate. playtest anywhere after filling the questions

[pallid magnet]

[opal crystal]

What do we have to do ?

Is there a date?

[pallid magnet]

[opal crystal]

[pallid magnet]

[scenic nova]

Waddup peeps

[wraith snow]

or go to their social media like youtube, to use the direct link

then u just sign up

[dull pilot]

Today is the last day to sign up.
https://skate.game/insider

[wraith snow]

glad u had the link, last time i tried to send it some bot kicked my face with a boot 💀

[pallid magnet]

will there be any more gameplay of skate. before we get acces? like vol 4 or smth

[scenic nova]

Perchance

[radiant latch]

Video?

[wraith snow]

they just released the grind vol 3, where u can watch a video/teaser trailer of the graphics and skating the testers can expect to see in july

[scenic nova]

Grind vol 4 when

[radiant latch]

Luna beat me to it 😂

[pallid magnet]

oh alr

[dull pilot]

About 3ish weeks.

[wraith snow]

https://tenor.com/view/the-flash-barry-allen-grant-gif-23737312

[scenic nova]

Too impatient :/

[radiant latch]

Smaller scope for vol 4?

[scenic nova]

Actually my bday is in like just under 3 weeks so it'd be a nice lil prezzie

[dull pilot]

Still writing it.

[scenic nova]

Jeff can u wish me a happy birthday on the 15th?

[scenic nova]

Damn guess not 😔

[fiery prairie]

Best skate shoe for board feel?

Id skate in socks if i could
Or barefoot 🦶

[vale anchor]

Personally like vans because there's little to no padding

[dull pilot]

Of what month?

[hollow hazel]

Once Sk8 Hi’s are broken in they feel great, never even had a pro skate pair but they always held up well. Same goes for Half Cabs

[scenic nova]

July

[modern radish]

Staring at my email, trying to force it to hurry up

[vale anchor]

Let me know if you get it to work like that!

[modern radish]

I’m sure it will one day

[sinful cedar]

What’s the earliest we can expect a playtest code rn?

[modern radish]

July 2nd

[sinful cedar]

Alright thanks

[modern radish]

It ain’t working

[wraith snow]

its not a code
should happen in the coming days up to the test, but remember u cant let people know if u get in, just, stay patient 🫡

[sinful cedar]

Thought you’d get a code to get the game

[dull pilot]

We changed that. You can say you got in. You can say you’re playtesting.
You can’t discuss details.

PC doesn’t get a code, console does.

[wraith snow]

oh nice!

guess it got hard making sure people stay completely quiet?

[dull pilot]

We’re almost at Early Access. Don’t want excited folks getting banned/timeout for being excited.

[wraith snow]

yeah super valid ngl!

[modern radish]

Just so I’m fully clear and understanding, I can tell people I’m in, but I can’t show them

[sinful cedar]

Yeah

[wraith snow]

yea so, if im understanding what Jeff is saying is that

before u couldnt, but now u can
u can say u got in, but u cant rlly say
"oh in skate. u can find this and this and this"
sharing details and u also cant show any footage off

[modern radish]

Got it, thanks

[pulsar drum]

Kate middleton

$kate bitcoin

[scenic nova]

YESS!!!

[quick rock]

So if you play on pc does it go to EA Play directly?

[fervent sorrel]

It gets tied to the accounts ea library on the user registered when it gets access

[acoustic vector]

Hello who are you who speaks French ?/ salut comment ça va ? qui parle français ?

[dreamy field]

anyone else curious about the san van expansions and when we could see them

I hope the expansions have to do with the bridges on the map

[river gyro]

Probably they also said the main map will have changes over time
