general-discussion

[dreamy field]

What makes me curious though is that they said they'll be evolving San Vansterdam, so will completely new areas outside of san van appear or will we only get san van expansions

I wish they clarified that more

[worn kite]

First they need to finish it

[river gyro]

I guess anything could happen who knows

[dreamy field]

i hope they confirm if they're already working on new areas or not

[river gyro]

I doubt it

[dreamy field]

same here sadly

[river gyro]

Game isn’t even out or finished

[dusk walrus]

lowk can we get a battle pass?

[worn kite]

Don’t worry they will☠️

[dusk walrus]

w

[dreamy field]

which is why they have plenty of time to blueprint new areas

lets be real the general public aint gonna like how small san van is

[river gyro]

Their main focus is gonna be getting the game out

[dreamy field]

well obviously but they can still roadmap

[scenic gull]

TESTERS can ADMIT they are IN the TEST

Go ahead and say it people!!! So i can be envious if you 👿

[vale anchor]

[sinful cedar]

[vale anchor]

We'd have to know its current size before judging its size

[sudden warren]

Happy Thursday yall! Almost the weekend

[sudden warren]

So you're saying you're in and playing but you dont want to say that

[vale anchor]

I'm saying if I was in and had the ability to say I'm in and playing it I wouldn't say that I'm in and playing it to let others know that I'm in and playing it if I was in and playing it

[sudden warren]

Woof

[dreamy field]

Oh I know it

[vale anchor]

[unique rover]

Can you discuss the current playtest now? Clips are able to upload now on xbox so I'm just wondering

[dreamy field]

well in that case, im in

[vale anchor]

and you discussed the details

[dreamy field]

i mean tbf what i mentioned you can see in the youtube videos

[vale anchor]

[dreamy field]

when early access comes we'll be able to openly talk about the game right?

[vale anchor]

Considering Early Access is the launch release, yes

[dreamy field]

word word

[vale anchor]

So sometime late summer SꚘN™

[dreamy field]

july 2nd is getting closer too 🔥

[river gyro]

Yeah I was gonna point this out I’ve hinted to it

[sudden warren]

Afaik, they haven't addressed that. I dont think you can post clips, as that would be part of the play test detail

[scenic gull]

YOU LUCKY SOB!!! (lower cap characters to neutralize caps)

[unique rover]

So I can upload and send clips on xbox but we still can't discuss it. Is this a mistake or something?

[sudden warren]

You can NOT send clips anywhere. Its the same as PC testing, you're always able to record in general, but per the nda, you cant record the test. but once you send/post, that breaks NDA.

[unique rover]

Alright good to know

[sudden warren]

Jeff can correct me if I am wrong and just recently changed but from what I saw, the update to nda is that you can ONLY say you are in and accepted

[unique rover]

If I go to the official club for skate on xbox I can see other people's clips so its just strange

[scenic gull]

WHAT

[unique rover]

Unless that's exclusively for people that have access

[scenic gull]

i bet game is looking good. Wronng, tsk tsk! But prob looks so good 🤤

[bright rampart]

Hypothetically, if one were to be invited to this Playtest in the future and a spouse walks by, would we have to lie to our significant other? Would we have to tell them they can't watch what we're about to do and just leave it open ended like that?

[scenic gull]

I would just my SO i was playing Skater XL, and they respond back with, “enjoy your new Tony hawk pro skater!!”

[bright rampart]

"Skate 3 mods"

[stable fog]

Absolutely no clue

[torpid torrent]

Wishlisting the game got me more excited than I should be

[river gyro]

Yeah however there’s a bunch of clips on the Xbox skate club

[bright rampart]

Just saw the full .26 and .27 comparison images on the grind discussion board, progress is looking so good! Kept zooming in to see the building differences and graffiti/mural changes.

[violet panther]

Man haven’t talked in here in a minute

[torpid torrent]

Imagine a pull feature, you’re skating up to a spot you know you don’t have speed for and you can pull your homie for a good 3 seconds to go faster for the spot gap

Have to be off the board ofc to do it

[bright rampart]

Slingshot!

[vale anchor]

Dirt bike tow ins would be crazy

[torpid torrent]

I put a idea in #1062053586537820210 for a slingshot you can attach to rails, car spoilers or dumpsters for that lil speed boost

You pull it back and gap that spot you need to

[torpid torrent]

This would be so dope 😭 but if they add bikes for us to tow people everyone would be on those instead of the boards

But, imagine it being a prop! And you can set the ai to pull you in a certain DIRECTION

[vale anchor]

Could remedy that by not letting us control the bike but make it an environmental interaction

[torpid torrent]

^

[vale anchor]

yeah, that lol

[torpid torrent]

I guarantee someone’s gonna use it to wall ride a building somehow 😭

Would be funnier if it was a prop ai, cause imagine you get pulled to your spot and boom a funny clip as well cause he hit the wall launching you 😭

[vale anchor]

That would also lock it down so it's not useable for any competitive modes and what not, but also still allow the gotta go fast for the open world skating

[torpid torrent]

I just imagined an insane clip, say the prop ai for the bike tow gets added. You have it pull you up onto a box and as it’s riding beside it you gap the biker

Absolute cinema

[trail spade]

I have a sin too confess, i had a pickle from the pickle jar and i liked it i take back what i said abt pickles.

[woven pebble]

I must’ve missed Jeff saying we can say we’re accepted into the play test. I thought it was the same as it’s been for years.

[bright rampart]

Now try the spicy dill pickle ruffles.

[dreamy field]

ive gotten really lucky with invites ngl

ive tested like 5 times now

i wonder if they reinvite people who actually play the game a lot over the people who barely played 🤔

eh prolly not but still weird how i got invited a bunch of times yet some people still havent gotten a chance

[worn kite]

I’ve applied for all the playtests over the last few years and never got in

[sudden warren]

You will over the next few weeks

[worn kite]

Honestly from what I’ve seen it didn’t really seem like I missed much. Just hope they get their servers together so it doesn’t crap out on launch day

[sudden warren]

Id like to disagree that you've missed... a lot. Just seeing the highlight videos you can see the improvements they've made over the last 2 years

Its been cool to watch. But now you'll get a bit shiny-er product

[indigo forge]

Will skate. be SteamDeck compatible?

[bright rampart]

This hasn't been publicly answered but can be a Q&A. Search this* discussion for 'Linux' or just 'Steam Deck'.

[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.)

[modern radish]

I hope the air timer system is removed

[tulip mirage]

I signed up.

[dull pilot]

what air timer system?

[modern radish]

Skate 3 would respawn you if you’re in the air too long

I don’t know what else to call it lol

[empty coyote]

You can call it annoying. Worse than wheelbite actually

[kind turtle]

No. EA Anticheat doesn’t have Linux support which is what skate. uses

[scenic nova]

everybody hates the skate 3 air timer

[last tide]

so eager to get the email lol

[sharp kettle]

Hello chat

[raven imp]

hey trim

[modern radish]

I got this glitch in skate 1 and I’m trying to recreate it and I want to know if any of y’all know how, the best way I could describe it is when you are in the air, the board starts spinning like crazy which then shoots you up in the air

[static coral]

Hey guys. A quick question : im already a tester for Skate but do i have to register again for the new playtest incoming ? Thank you !

[violet socket]

guys i sgot the email to playtest and it got sent to the wrong email

so i changed it and i dont know how to get the mail to my new mail someone pleaseeeee help me i have been waiting to playtest skate for so long

[violet socket]

no one helps here

[sudden warren]

This is not EA or playtest support

[sudden warren]

If you've signed up once, you're good

If you're a current tester, you're definitely good

[violet socket]

hucker, maybe you can help me ok?

I went into the ea playtest thing and i got the thing saying i have a new Skate. playtest available and i did the survey and it sent something to my mail, i then checked the mail and got nothing also it was sent to the wrong email since i forgot to change the email before i completed the forum.

was the email even important

[sudden warren]

[sharp kettle]

How are we doing

[scenic gull]

has gone viral been fixed yet?

[raven imp]

we evaporating rn 🥵

global warming.exe

[foggy pagoda]

skate baby you already know what it is

[sudden warren]

Fyi they haven't supported any game fixes in years for skate 3

Have you checked trueachievements for suggestions or work arounds?

[dull pilot]

this isn't a support server. we do want you to get assistance, but for account, game, etc. support, you'll need to check #help-and-support-info

[sharp kettle]

Same 😔

[sudden warren]

And we even helped and they left. Bummer

[silent anvil]

thanks man absolute life saver never wouldve thought of that mate cheers

[pallid magnet]

yup yw!

[vocal thunder]

I saw skate pop up on my Xbox today so it must be gettin close to bein an open beta (no I’m not talking about the playtest)

[raven imp]

yea early access september

[dull pilot]

end of Summer.

[trail spade]

So early access would practically be beta?

[floral tiger]

Looks like chat has been filtered so all i can tell u is follow standard troubleshoot rules

[warm nest]

Erm.. yes.

[floral tiger]

I knew that was coming i warned him

[warm nest]

🙈

[rough current]

on a completely unrelated note from what was just discussed, the tutorial is getting updated according to the grind, might be helpful for some people out there

[floral tiger]

I saw that on the grind as well

[quasi dock]

Do I not have access anymore if I didn’t sign up for the new test?

[warm nest]

You still have time

[floral tiger]

Sign up if u want to play u have till the 27th to join the next playtests

[quasi dock]

Where do I sign up bc I need that

[warm nest]

I genuinely hope there is alien content in this game… 🙂‍↔️

[unreal viper]

which is tm btw

[warm nest]

It’s still before the 27… ☝️🤓

[unreal viper]

indubitably my broski

[warm nest]

We shall see bro.. if he does sign up now.. he should still get in hopefully.

[floral tiger]

its garrenteed

[unreal viper]

yeah its getting a lil close to deadline lmfao

[floral tiger]

anyone who signs up before the date will garrenteed get in 100%

[dull pilot]

**guaranteed to be invited.

Gotta be checking emails to get in.

[floral tiger]

@dull pilot completely correct gotta be watchin that email like a HAWK @quasi dock

btw how do i get into community moderation and such? would love to help any way i can

[quasi dock]

Bro I’m praying

[floral tiger]

Keep your eyes on ur email and spam just incase and U WILL get in just watch for the email and accept the playtest when u get it

i cant say anymore than that on how it works etc , NDA stuff.

[warm nest]

Erm, spamming doesn’t work ☝️🤓

[quasi dock]

I was locked in playing it everyday, I wasn’t expecting access to be revoked

[floral tiger]

@warm nest very true you do it once and thats all u need to do

[warm nest]

It was either i say it or boss man..✋😐🤚

[floral tiger]

I mean true might as well see ahead

[dull pilot]

we have a paid moderation team. we no longer leverage community moderators, but are definitely always on the look-out for community leaders who set great examples.

[hollow hazel]

Are you on the lookout for unpaid community jesters

[floral tiger]

@dull pilot would love to look into it is it available on the EA website?

[vale anchor]

That's already all of us here existing

[dull pilot]

look into what? sorry

[hollow hazel]

I just want like a lil 🃏 tag or something

Balatro man

[vale anchor]

Like this?

[floral tiger]

@dull pilot applying for paid moderation team thats what i ment. As skate has driven me at very big times in my life and i would love to be able to help others and provide a fun time and safe place knowing people are helped and want to come back..

[dull pilot]

I don't know that we're currently hiring, but let me follow up and if I get any info, I'll let you know. Will that be okay?

[floral tiger]

You bet ill be keeping my eyes out for anything, Again ty for u guys keeping skate going <3.

[quiet yew]

If i did the rsvp and still got an email is that normal

[floral tiger]

If u did the rsvp and going a email that u fillied it out

thats the normal process and u should see around july 1-2nd of the pending processs to join the playtest

[floral tiger]

once u get it u must accept the playtest via the link they provide and itll do the rest and u must have the ea app for pc or ur Appropriate console account linked or available in order to play in the playtest.

If you accidentally link the wrong account or attempt to play on another account it could impact your playtest access / issues its all available on the terms in the skate. RSVP application page.

[hollow hazel]

Hey no fair

[kindred badger]

Will everyone that signed up get an invite on July 2nd or do they do some people everyday

[quick rock]

if they give everyone a code at once the servers will likely take a heavy work load

either they do that to test the how much the servers can handle or they will do it in waves

[kindred badger]

Wow so what do you think the time span will be

[kind dew]

Pretty sure it’s waves

[median jay]

if they r stress testing servers like tht then in my opinion they should go all out bc its gonna go crazy anyways when the game drops, better to have an issue found before release than after lol

[quick rock]

stress testing would be a good idea, a dev will probably give us more info on the matter

[rough current]

starting from the 2nd theyll be sending everyone invites on a weekly basis if i remember right, so some people get in on the 2nd then some more on the 7th and so on til everyone is in

[kindred badger]

Damn

Hope that's not the case

[rough current]

could be wrong tho, youd be best asking someone with more than 3 braincells and who isnt under the influence haha

[quick rock]

waves is perfectly fine

[kindred badger]

😂

[median jay]

im so impatient i just wanna play

[kindred badger]

How do you guys think the story is gonna play out cause I feel like they haven't talked about it enough. I loved the skate 3 story mode, I sold a million boards and it just felt so good

[rough current]

i mean the "story" of skate games hasnt exactly been a narative masterpiece in the past, its basically just "hey guy, you should skate" or "these guys are bad and think you shouldnt skate, show em whats up"

if you mean like the challenges and things like that id love to see where they go with it, but story wise its never been a big deal for me when it comes to skate

[vale anchor]

have you tried adding an emoji to your name just for this server?

You know, for a skate. server, everyone keeps talking about being excited for waves. Didn't know there were so many surfers in here

[hollow hazel]

Yeah I always played the trilogy for the skating because it was so good, same as when I’d play with homies doing play til you bail. The stories weren’t bad by any means, but they weren’t the main draw. The stories also got progressively worse imo lol

[hollow hazel]

I just want something special for me only

[rough current]

gotta say, S tier dad joke

[raven imp]

what month is end of summer ? 😰

[quick rock]

August

[rough current]

and yeah, like the narrative has never been the mainfocus of skate, all that the game is really about is skating ya know? they never needed a super deep story because it just wasnt as important, gameplay over story ya know?

[dull pilot]

Summer always ends during the autumnal equinox. This is the period when the amount of daylight and dark are equal in length. In the Northern Hemisphere, this typically happens on September 22 or 23.

[rough current]

welp, jeff beat me to it and worded it way better than i could haha

[raven imp]

ok so october

[dull pilot]

That would be Fall 2025.

[raven imp]

im lost 😞

[dull pilot]

Have you tried Google Maps?

[raven imp]

nice one

[rough current]

itll come in the closing months of summer, aug/sept, more likely sept

[hollow hazel]

Great for finding skate spots

[rough current]

i gotta say though, jeff if you have any sway with it, please try to make sure it doesnt drop on the 12th of september, I and so many others are gonna be busy with borderlands and we want the game to have a booming launch into early access, want those numbers to pop day one but im a borderlands addict

i gotta feed my habit on BL4s launch

[quick rock]

Unfortunately that isn’t up to him

[hollow hazel]

Yeah exactly, the first skate was the best story and even then it was just the simple rags to riches style thing, which isn’t a bad thing it summarises a skate career in a condensed way

[rough current]

i know, but hes atleast closer to the higher ups than we are

[quick rock]

For sure

[rough current]

i just want the game to have the biggest player count day one as possible, would really cut down the numbers launching just after BL4, i want the EA execs to see how much we want this game so it lasts as long as humanly possible

[quick rock]

Since it’s free to play it’s also a lot easier to access compared to a paid game

Which also means a younger audience may get their hands on it

[hollow hazel]

Yeah I’m hella hyped for a big open world skate game that isn’t full of npcs. Session always felt so lonely

[kindred badger]

Yea I'm ngl if I don't get it July 2nd I'ma be mad. I'm too impatient lol

[last tide]

Hope I get in early

[hollow hazel]

I hope you do too

[kindred badger]

🤞

[brittle hornet]

wake me up when September ends 🫡

[wraith snow]

Wait @dull pilot I had actually just had a thought

Are there any real life recreations or heavily inspired spots we can look forward to in skate.? Or is it mostly spots based on what gives off the right vibes? Etc etc.

[bright rampart]

Steam Summer Sale time though. 👀
Skate is free, so I'm free to flash my wallet at my wishlist.

[wraith snow]

Also fair if u can’t say haha

[wraith snow]

Can I recommend u an amazing game u prob haven’t heard of?

[wraith snow]

Everyone who signed up and answered the RSVP email should get in according to what they’ve said on socials

[bright rampart]

I'm all ears! Well, eyes in this case.

[sturdy sphinx]

i can recommend one im having an absolute blast in. atlyss, half price and a new major update next week. although the sole developer has got... tastes. thats for sure

i havent played in half a year so im excited to get back into it with all the new content

[wraith snow]

The alters.

It’s a game I had no idea about and suddenly saw a video of and was hooked

It’s from a smaller studio, 11bit i think they’re called, got a budget of maximum 40 mil from investors from what I heard and they said smth like “we got plenty to make this run”, they didn’t wanna price it insanely so it’s around 30-40 euro/dollars last I checked, so they aren’t giving u a 60-80 dollar game with bugs or filler content, it’s a fairly priced game with an amazing vision

It’s a story game like Detroit become human (toned down abit but choices do change how ur game goes, and how u treat every person impact ur entire playthrough) mixed with the whole base system like fallout and exploration from games like Zelda (in my opinion)

It’s called. The Alters.
(Also the graphics and shaders are insanely beautiful and the creativity, story and visuals are beyond what u expect from that price point, they rlly blew my mind, and they don’t waste ur time, only got 2 hours to game this evening? Perfect game! Also has movies in the game to watch when ur character is stressed which both lets u relax and ur character cause it boosts his mental and joy levels 🙌

Ur welcome for the essay

Now hop on the space skateboard and try some the alters until skate drops, to be fair San vansterdam will feel like an alien planet too, cause europes built like that at times 😂

[sturdy sphinx]

i looked it up and noped out when i saw its got a short time limit :x

[drowsy leaf]

Shred america!!

[wraith snow]

U can change that! U can put the game on easy so ur character is less affected by time and lack of recourses

Sometimes I got so far ahead in the game that it would say “danger many days away”

So u wouldn’t have to worry, on easy u can basically play without a time crunch even tho the characters will sometimes speak as if something bad is happening tomorrow but it might be months away 💀

[sturdy sphinx]

actually, another game with space-skateboards that i wanna play is echopoint nova

[sturdy sphinx]

i love difficulty settings! if only so many developers didnt abandon them because their vision is to make the games as hrd as possible ToT

[wraith snow]

Never heard of that, what’s the overall concept?

[sturdy sphinx]

fps with open parkour floating islands

i played the demo and thoroughly enjoyed it. i need to buy the full game

[wraith snow]

This game is perfect then it gives u difficulty settings for economy, time and action sequences

Im not rlly good with counting and stuff cause I got dyscalculia so I put economy on easy, and for the first time with a game like this, I wasn’t stressed or felt like I was not doing well enough

[wraith snow]

Sounds rlly dope I’ll give it a look!

[raven imp]

yo luna are u in playtest

[bright rampart]

I held off on Tears of the Kingdom because the OG Switch had a difficult time in some high demand parts of the game. So now I'm wasting time away accidentally discovering everything in that game with the Switch 2 upgrades. I do like to build up a catalog during these sales though.
I recommend Hades 2, Supraland, and for ridiculous local co-op - give Human Fall Flat a try.

[flat ermine]

looking forward to playing

[wraith snow]

Since it’s now allowed by Jeff and such then I can finally announce

Yes. Yes I am. And my favorite thing to do, is be afk and look at my microwave in the real world

Yk how does that microwave just do that microwave thing? 🤯

[wraith snow]

Do u use that phone gps at all? I heard a lot of switch fans calling it dumb and useless 😭

[modern radish]

I hope we get a really advanced camera system so we can make really cinematic stuff

[bright rampart]

Is that the notes feature or whatever? I don't think I do this, it does sound odd.

[dull pilot]

We have channels for videos and screenshots, unless it’s about the playtest - then no.

[woven pebble]

You can only post play test content on the forum. It’s like people don’t know how to read

[coarse arch]

Exactly

[dull pilot]

Check the channel list. There’s some for IRL skateboarding content, Skate franchise content, memes/comedy, etc.

[woven pebble]

My apologies. It’s been nonstop play test questions here for weeks.

[dull pilot]

*months and months, tbf

[woven pebble]

Indeed bro. Your patience blows my mind. I appreciate you.

[dull pilot]

I work here. Not an option. 😉

[woven pebble]

You new here? lol

I’ll let Jeff tell you his role, but he isn’t a mod

[bright rampart]

https://tenor.com/view/facepalm-really-stressed-mad-angry-gif-16109475

[vale anchor]

He's the community manager. He's the connection between us and the devs and our babysitter, basically

[rough current]

its not exactly uncommon for companies to have paid community managers

[rough current]

hes the best babysitter we could ask for tbh

[vale anchor]

The one we needed and deserved

[woven pebble]

lol you nailed it; our babysitter

[rough current]

fr, and if the past few months ive been in this chat are anything to go off, some of us definitely need that babysitter haha

[trail spade]

Few more days for playtest to rollout excited as heck

[woven pebble]

It’s like navigating children

[rough current]

you and me both, been waiting years, im so hyped to finally get some hands on time with the game

excited to see what the team has cooked up for us all

[vale anchor]

And then you learn some of the "children" are actually at their big age and learn that adulthood is a myth lol

[woven pebble]

I’m a 56 year old that loves this game, so yeah lol

[trail spade]

I hope i get it as soon as possible

[rough current]

im praying for us both bro

[vale anchor]

Yeah but you act 30, not 13

[trail spade]

i like you

[rough current]

im an enigma that fits into neither catagory, got a username about scrathing my ass and somehow still end up talking sense

[trail spade]

Gosh i wanna steal that helmet on your pfp

[woven pebble]

I’m gonna take that as a complement lol

[vale anchor]

I've seen 50 years olds have full on temper tantrums and bribing them with candy doesn't work the same

[rough current]

trade the candy with Marlboro Red and a beer and maybe youll get somewhere

[vale anchor]

Completely meant that as one but reading it back I can see how it might not've hit right...
I'm 33 for context if that helps any 😅

[woven pebble]

My two sons turned me on to the skate franchise after I tried to sale them on skating irl

[vale anchor]

Win dad

[rough current]

hell yeah, love to see that kinda stuff bro

[woven pebble]

No worries. You’re two years younger than my oldest son. I still send him my clips. Creepy, right? 😀

[dull pilot]

Dude. Tha’ts freaking dope.

[vale anchor]

Creepy? Nah! You're still teaching him how to live right is all

[rough current]

bro i hope im playing games and sending my kids clips when im in my 50s, W dad right there

[woven pebble]

Thank you. Means the world to me. If about family to me

[woven pebble]

Thank you. I’m lucky that they’re receptive lol

[woven pebble]

Thanks, Jeff. My boys are the reason I’m sold on skate.

[loud thicket]

5 days till the update im hype

[daring gulch]

this is the first time il get to try it im so excited😫

[hollow hazel]

I’m excited for you

[raven imp]

i hope i get wave 4 so you guys can get wave 1

[loud thicket]

y’all gonna enjoy it the current playtest is pretty fun I can’t even imagine an even better version rn

[hollow hazel]

Fire react

[rough current]

absolute GOAT mentality right there

[kindred badger]

What RSVP email?

Are you talking about the play test signups?

[wraith snow]

Creepy? Wdym? That’s insanely cool?!?

[somber thistle]

does anyone know if the game will be very laggy depending on regions, because of it being an online game? i live in China, and i suspect there's no servers for the game here

[wraith snow]

Actually a good question, I’ve been wondering how that’s gonna work

[somber thistle]

999 ping kickflip go crazy

[past fable]

Ea might send you an email telling you to fill the rsvp form out under available playtests

[edgy lotus]

does any1 know when the playtest begin?

[last tide]

Do emails go out today since it's the 27

[past fable]

I don’t think so i think they js stop letting ppl in now

[past fable]

should be july 2rd

[edgy lotus]

thanks

[loud thicket]

2rd

[hollow hazel]

Secornd of July

[empty coyote]

Twoth of July

[wraith snow]

Pretty sure they said between 27th of June 10 am pt and July 2nd

[river gyro]

Oh dang it is the 27th today crazy

[sudden warren]

Good morning my humanoids

[final tinsel]

Glad yall can connect through that, my brothers and I all play games, our dad hasn’t touched anything since the sega genesis😂

[final tinsel]

I think they’re going to do a few waves in July, but I’m not sure.

[empty coyote]

I prefer biped, but good morning to you as well

[wary kelp]

emails go out the 2nd of july, no invites before that

can anyone comment on optimisation and how it felt in the playtest or nah?

[sudden warren]

Details of the playtest are under NDA

[wary kelp]

completely? i thought it was more or less just content?

[sudden warren]

All you can say is that you are accepted and playing. Nothing beyond that

[wary kelp]

fair enough

[north trail]

Let’s say if you are already in the play test do you still need to respond to the RVSP email or will the game automatically update on the 2nd of July ??

[woven pebble]

Thank you for the kind words. I had the sega when my oldest was an infant. My dad was an og gamer. We had pong when I was a little kid. He was addicted to dr Mario at one point lol

[bright rampart]

Have you heard of Antstream Arcade? Pretty inexpensive for the expansive library of classics that could be fun to revisit. It's insane how many games we have access to now. I'm not complaining, but I do get that decision paralysis some days when I sit down for a session.

[bold gyro]

yeah lmk too

[gentle fiber]

It's great hearing about generational gaming! My dad introduced me to Morrowind and Half-Life - talk about sold on the hobby for life

[fervent sorrel]

Search RSVP in this channels search it has been answered hundreds of times

[eager nexus]

ahh July 27th.. the day for the chosen ones

[unique nebula]

Happy pizza pie Friday!

[bold gyro]

Ayee so im good ion gotta do anything

gonna just check to be safe.

[gaunt condor]

Is today the last day to sign up for play testing ?

[dull pilot]

You have less than 2 hours, yes.

[vale anchor]

Go go go go!!!

[modern radish]

Im playing skate 1 as I wait for skate

I’m trying to recreate the glitch I got yesterday but no luck so far

[mild chasm]

Signed up yesterday for the P.T does it just show up in your game library??

[proper raft]

I'm hyped to play skate tbh I'm gonna be playing all day when I get the invite

[dull pilot]

When you get an email for Play Now, if on PC it will be in your EA App client.

[scenic gull]

Less than one week to go to make it to Wednesday. This is seriously about to be the greatest day ever

[dull pilot]

Reminder: Invites start July 2 in waves.

If you’re not in the first wave, just hang tight. More waves every week in July.

[bright rampart]

I'm excited that Early Access has an ETA. Once the NDA is null I feel like we'll learn a lot more about the game.

https://tenor.com/view/yoda-star-wars-gif-10940865116650073754

[trail spade]

Is it know the amount of people per wave?

[river gyro]

Praying I’m in the 1st wave knowing my luck it’ll be the last

[dull pilot]

we got a lot of info to share before Early Access hits.

[woven pebble]

That’s awesome. My youngest son bought me Skyrim and later rdr2 for Father’s Day.

[daring gulch]

praying to coach frank i get invited on july 2nd🙏

[delicate tundra]

real

[trail spade]

We making it out Port Carverton wih coack frank 🔥

[twin otter]

fr

[kindred badger]

Rdr2 top 3 game of all time

[woven pebble]

Absolutely. I had separation anxiety when I finished the game

[raven imp]

no way he spoiled me

[final tinsel]

It’s been years

[raven imp]

i literally downloaded it yesterday

😿

[delicate tundra]

gng he dont die

atlest not in the cannon ending

[woven pebble]

Oops, my bad

[kindred badger]

Damn sorry about that

He does then comes back to life

[bright rampart]

Look at it this way, the journey is more important than the ending.

[woven pebble]

Edited sorry

[raven imp]

nah it’s aight lol, i’m not really into story in games

[dusk walrus]

#game-announcements reason 222 why this game is unable to "flop"

it costs NOTHING to play, directly or indirectly

[warm nest]

Not u Dissing rdr2…. 💔

[fervent sorrel]

That argument basically argues against ur own claim

[dusk walrus]

ok

[delicate tundra]

they were all talking ab the non cannon ending anyways so its fine

[bright rampart]

Anyone here remember CD keys? I was just thinking the other day when Steam was announced I was so disappointed to see the WON servers go away. Then I remembered I had to use CD key generators even though I bought the game because my CD key had been used by someone else probably using a CD key generator. What a mess that was...

[trail spade]

Its not really diss its her? personal prefrence

[last tide]

wow no ps and xbox subscription to play this game

[delicate tundra]

yh i still use cd keys good site tbh

[trail spade]

I wouldnt be upset if they ended up selling it tbh

[kindred badger]

When you play this you will be

[trail spade]

100% worth it no matter if its free or not

[trail spade]

Check out eneba i use both but i feel like eneba usually has lower prices

[delicate tundra]

i may do that gotta compare stock n prices tho when i do

[trail spade]

Cdkeys says not taxing when it does btw

[delicate tundra]

ouch thats why its so expencive then

[last tide]

im on pc anyway

[delicate tundra]

most people are nowadays its good to see they are doing online free to play tho

js wonder how its gonna effect game play/funding

[warm nest]

Obviously

[torn birch]

Bro no live subscription required is a big W hell yeah ea

[bright rampart]

This isn't a critique of in game currency or debating whether it's right or wrong, I'm just wanting to understand a piece* of it more since the EU banned fictional currencies. Does this impact other markets or solely the EU?

[raw idol]

There is a chance they close down the live service and servers wouldn’t be active … which why they should have an offline mode keep it alive…

[delicate tundra]

depends if the game is popular in 5+ years time

[dusk walrus]

maybe in half a lifetime or so

[delicate tundra]

they wont shut down the servers of a populer game unless they run out of funding

[dull pilot]

got a link with an article, because everything I've read focuses on crypto.

[bright rampart]

Ah, I think link posting is no-go on here. I tried to just now. From what I'm seeing, it's only if there's no transparency on how much 2000 points translates to real world currency, but if $5 is next to the 2000 points, it's transparent enough.

[prime pebble]

sorry if lots of people been asking but how long will the upcoming playtest last i couldnt see anything about that.

[bright rampart]

Early Access starts at the end of Summer, so the Playtest ends then too.

[prime pebble]

that's what i started thinking as well but wasnt sure

ty

[dull pilot]

@bright rampart think the bot got the link. I’ll take a look, thanks!

[kindred badger]

If there's a battle pass are y'all getting it

[worldly delta]

I hope im in the first wave

[raven imp]

yes the free one 😼

[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.)

[whole ermine]

I signed up

[waxen apex]

Same!

[astral flame]

If i signed up and skate. doesnt appear in "Your upcoming playtest" Did i do something wrong?

[restive tapir]

Same I signed up months ago and was waiting. But the link I got is useless

[dull pilot]

no, you're fine.

[dull pilot]

invites haven't gone out yet. hang loose.

[astral flame]

Good because i saw a post saying i needed to log in to ea to get an email confirming

[dull pilot]

you do have to receive an email when it's time for your wave to start, but that's it.

[sleek night]

I have a question when do you get invited to the playtest is it before or when it starts

[dull pilot]

playtest started (Always On) back Sept 10, 2024.

these waves will start with the July 2 0.27 update (weekly)

[sleek night]

Oh ok thank you for telling me👍

[dull pilot]

once you get invited

• if on PC, it will show up in your EA app
• if on console, you'll get a code for that platform

[sleek night]

Well I chose console so yeah

[astral flame]

I'm so hyped for the playtest wave because i got all my friends to sign up and we used eachothers referral codes

[sleek night]

I'm also really hyped for the playtest

[waxen apex]

Hi Jeff. How are you doing today?

[delicate tundra]

cant wait for the playtest hopeing i get in first wave on

[north topaz]

any emails go out yet?

[delicate tundra]

to a few people from what i have heard but thats probably not true

im intrested how many people get picked each wave

[tiny prism]

Not until July 2nd, they haven't changed it.

[kind turtle]

No

[scenic gull]

Why are my messages being blocked? I'm not spamming...

[kindred badger]

When do you guys think update 1.0 will be released

[delicate tundra]

ages from now

[kindred badger]

Yea we're in pre alpha 😭

[scenic gull]

That's literally what I was trying to ask but my messages were being blocked.

[delicate tundra]

how long is a pices of string ahh queston

[kindred badger]

💀

[delicate tundra]

fr bro

[fierce otter]

What’s going on everyone, Happy Friday!!

[sudden warren]

Happy Friday dude!

[autumn ibex]

my guess is late 2026-mid 2027

[vale anchor]

Imagine never and the final update ends up being 0.99.999.9999.9999

[sudden warren]

Im down with that

[deep iron]

quick question but what does the "requires in-game purchase" mean at the start of the last video that was uploaded ? just wondering :w

[tiny prism]

Uploaded where

[scenic nova]

unlisted video i thinks

this one @tiny prism

[tiny prism]

Well you can't pay for gameplay so it can only mean there are cosmetics someone is wearing that costs money lol

[raven imp]

where’s san van waterpark 🗣️

[mystic ingot]

i want the game

https://tenor.com/view/rage-inside-out-angry-anger-gif-9449633401003478333

[dull pilot]

Because it’s not Skate 4.

[dull pilot]

It means there’s in-game purchases (San Van Bucks) items in the game that may be shown in the video.

[delicate tundra]

all i want out of this game is my black n white nike sbs

[warm nest]

Gonna buy $100 worth of San Bucks 😎

[delicate tundra]

ill buy 20 pounds worth and then see if ima buy more

[warm nest]

Go big or go home.. 😌

[deep iron]

ohh okay, thought it was meaning it'd be mandatory to progress

thanks for the clarification 🙂

[kindred badger]

G

[lament bobcat]

if you can buy san van buck in playtesting and you buy something will it come with you when it realeses or will it be turned in to the bucks again?

[tiny prism]

yeah they said all san van bucks will be refunded and waiting for you when early access happens

[modern radish]

I just bought riders republic skate DLC, this is not fun in the slightest

[hollow hazel]

I downloaded RR last night for free and man it’s definitely one of the games of all time

[modern radish]

I bought the skateboard estioj bc I thought it would come with the skate dlc and skate plus pack but no? It doesn’t? Of course they don’t tell you that

[river gyro]

Yeah the skate dlc suckssssss

[hollow hazel]

I got it because it has bmx and mtb but WHY did they choose that trick mechanic ???

Trigger + stick for tricks is so confusing I keep moving my camera mid air lol

[modern radish]

I Ollie and then I press the press A, backflips???

It’s like they wanted to be Tony hawk and skate but worse

I bought RC credits and they just didn’t give me my bonus credits

[tiny prism]

Avg Ubisoft game

[modern radish]

Nah, they did not just say “skating mongo or am I going too fast for you”

[trail spade]

[modern radish]

I don’t even skate irl and I know they don’t say this, aint no one speak like this

[hollow hazel]

Mash ⭕️ to get up

For why ? Just let me press it once ???

[tiny prism]

Do they just not get up at all

Or is it slower like thps

[modern radish]

Let me check

They just teleport back up after like 5 seconds

[hollow hazel]

Just like irl

[modern radish]

I’ll give them one thing, the cosmetics look cool. But thsts really about it

[hollow hazel]

Really surprised how basic/janky the character creator is too, it’s like a 360 game

[hollow hazel]

I haven’t seen many I’ve got like 1 hour lol

Realising I have to buy the season pass to get more bmx stuff is really lame

[modern radish]

Posting a photo of the only thing i could afford in #off-topic

[hollow hazel]

I don’t like when games won’t let me have platinum bleach blonde hair 0/5 stars

[delicate tundra]

i cant remember what show this is from but i feel like its icarly

[scenic gull]

i will be making it in this playtest

we will ❤️

[hollow hazel]

30 Rock lol

You were very close with icarly though

[delicate tundra]

i have seen clips of it never watched it saw the lockers and it looked so much like it

[hollow hazel]

30 Rock is great, definitely recommend

[kindred badger]

Neighborhoods in skat 4?

[delicate tundra]

i was raised with icarly so that what i came to haha

[kindred badger]

Damn they just removing my messages

[delicate tundra]

i may check it out

[languid frost]

I cant wait to see the cosmetics..

[hollow hazel]

Werewolf bar mitzvah spooky scary

[kindred badger]

What do you guys grinding in the game will be like

[tiny prism]

@kindred badger yeah
It's a muted phrase, because that's not the game lmao

[languid frost]

Just Kickflip non stop

[delicate tundra]

did they mute that?

[kindred badger]

Tbh I have been playing skate for years now and played all the skate games so I'm still gonna be calling it 4

No disrespect that's just what I'm used to

[tiny prism]

Not a real fan, unfort

[gilded blaze]

What about skate 92

[tiny prism]

It's not even the fourth skate game lmao

[kindred badger]

Say whatever you want I'ma call it 4 💀

[languid frost]

So like does the next playtest start on the first ?

[kindred badger]

Whatever skate it doesn't count

[tiny prism]

https://tenor.com/view/moving-goalposts-goalposts-changing-requirements-gif-25214446

[delicate tundra]

u think they are ever gonna make one?

[hollow hazel]

I was way too young to skate in 92

[tiny prism]

Invites start getting sent out on the second in waves with a new wave happening every week
It will not be all at once

[kindred badger]

Damn

[delicate tundra]

what do we class this skate as a spin off?

[hollow hazel]

Waves coming soon bros get your board ready 🏄🏻‍♂️

[tiny prism]

It's just skate dude it isn't that deep kek

[hollow hazel]

The evolution of skate

[languid frost]

I miss coach frank

[kindred badger]

No blackbox 😢

[delicate tundra]

it isnt but i feel like we should atlest give it a class

[hollow hazel]

Full Circle has some previous Black Box people

[tiny prism]

Yeah it's the live service one

[delicate tundra]

bro all i want in the game is my black n white sbs and my birdhouse bored and im fine

[delicate tundra]

yeah that fits well may get my gf to play it with me

[hollow hazel]

I’m gonna wager you won’t be able to have a birdhouse deck, SBs who knows, hopefully

[tiny prism]

A decent amount of blackbox, actually lmao

[delicate tundra]

bro i need my birdhosue one i wanna use the stuff i skate with irl

[kindred badger]

Guys what is the neighborhoods in the game they talked about a lil

[hollow hazel]

Wouldn’t thps likely have an exclusive contract with birdhouse tho

[hollow hazel]

We know as much as you man

[kindred badger]

All I know is that when you upgrade them you get more places to travel with the bus

[delicate tundra]

they defo have sbs im js hopeing on the birdhouse boards

[kindred badger]

Tbh all these other brands like Nike are gonna cost money

[delicate tundra]

eh im willing to pay for it

[tiny prism]

They've made zero mention of such a feature kek

[delicate tundra]

it wont be to much

[kindred badger]

Its EA 😭

[drowsy leaf]

How do you send a video on discord I just did cool trick

[tiny prism]

Ah so you're deliberately misinforming, very cool man

[drowsy leaf]

On skate 1

[hollow hazel]

The last bullet point in the grind

[delicate tundra]

i dont think they will mess with skate that much tbh

[kindred badger]

They're known for being greedy. Don't you know this?

[tiny prism]

Only mention shops

[hollow hazel]

“You can take the bus to various locations in the city, but you'll have to level up your neighborhoods to unlock all the stops.”

[tiny prism]

Believe it or not I much prefer waiting and seeing what itll be like before I start uselessly doomposting
I save that for when I actually know
Right now we know basically nothing

[delicate tundra]

i wounder how thats gonna work

[trail spade]

i bet the start area already has alot for us too check out really has no rush tbh

[delicate tundra]

i hope so haha

[kindred badger]

I mean fair enough. But why do you think there are already micro transactions in pre alpha?

[hollow hazel]

Me skating everywhere because that’s fast travel, just not as fast

[trail spade]

Im happy full circle is the team doing this project they have great optimizations in their game i mean look at battlefront it has such good graphics and run insanely good

[tiny prism]

Would you rather them release mtx alongside early access and it not be tuned at all and cause an insane amount of backlash?
Like
That's a horrible idea lmao

[delicate tundra]

so real

[delicate tundra]

remember its not js ea who do this

[hollow hazel]

Yeah imagine if the game released to the public and mtx didn’t work properly, that would be much worse than them just testing them in the playtesting phase lol

[delicate tundra]

also mtx arnt to big of a deal

[kindred badger]

I mean if I was EA I would say screw the skins for now, we can make all that money later. And focus on perfecting it. I know they are working on the game the hardest they can and I'm not trying to bash it but I'm saying this cause I'm scared cause they are known for being focusing more on skins then the game itself

[delicate tundra]

dont have to pay for it

[trail spade]

The micro-transactions are in pre alpha cause the game is prolly getting early access this year and they wanna make sure it work properly with the early access release?

[delicate tundra]

skate. is gonna be good the skate game still hold up after 15 years so im not worryed

[tiny prism]

You do realize the people who work on the physics, and animation, and art, and game economy

Are all completely different people, right?
Several things can happen at once, and do

[trail spade]

Plus its not like the game is forcing you too buy any skins or anything its a Optional thing

[hollow hazel]

Idk man lots of people on the internet think devs are the ones who read forums and reddit posts

[tiny prism]

The people working on the tricks are not having their time wasted by trying to balance mtx
That's would be so horribly inefficient

[kindred badger]

These are all great reasons why they are adding micro transactions. But I just don't want this beautiful franchise to turn out like a battlefield

[hollow hazel]

Imagine FC being like “surprise dev field swap ! Art directors, you’re now doing coding 🥰”

[trail spade]

Its free to play its not a big deal your not forced to pay for anything

[tiny prism]

All you're doing right now is doomposting

Think about how cool it can be, not how bad it could be

[waxen apex]

I can doom post too

[kindred badger]

True

[delicate tundra]

it really wont i dont think they can turn a skateing game into a mtx filled mess anyways it wont be a big deal

The Villainous Mac & Cheeze!

i slept 16 hours so good

[delicate tundra]

dam lucky u

[trail spade]

hbu?

[delicate tundra]

didnt go into school today so i js chilled so pretty good

[hollow hazel]

I keep getting woken up by ravens at 6am so I’m tired every day and then I keep getting woken up by ravens at 6am

[waxen apex]

Hey me either (I graduated years ago)

[delicate tundra]

wild haha

[delicate tundra]

u not have anything u can do ab it?

[hollow hazel]

I try earplugs before I sleep but I must pull em out in my sleep lol

Gotta learn raven and tell em to chill out

[delicate tundra]

yeah or pur a scarecrow at your window haha

[hollow hazel]

Scarecrow drone mod

[rough current]

get alot of bird food and train them to preform tasks for you and to wake you up later than 6am

[hollow hazel]

That’s the thing bro I used to feed them food my cat didn’t eat I saw them giving it to their young and this is how they repay me ??

Ungrateful teenage ravens

[rough current]

no joke if you start leavling food for them when they dont wake you up theyll learn very quickly that they shouldnt do it

ravens are smart as hell, they pick things up faster than alot of humans

[hollow hazel]

Yeah they used to bring twigs and leaves when I started feeding them lol

[rough current]

yeah bro, ravens literally know how to barter, theyll bring you things for food, you see if you keep higher quality food for when they bring you nicer things theyll learn to bring you what you want

crows are like that too, saw a guy on youtube who trained crows to bring him money

for having such small brains them lil things be smart as hell

[neon owl]

This weekend is so busy dude.

[woven pebble]

That’s really interesting. I had no idea. The only time I’ve ever seen a raven was when I was at the Tower of London. They’re massive and majestic.

[neon owl]

On top of everything else, I have to get my car fixed in the morning at 9, picked up the parts today, and went shopping today. And then I had this thing listed on ebay for like $100 for about 2 years now, so i haven't paid attention. Got an email from eBay that I should've sent it out 2 days ago. lmao. But I still gotta stay up tonight. Tomorrow, the next working on other stuff. I'm already tired. lol

[last tide]

many updates

[neon owl]

Good things come to those who wait.

[neon owl]

It definitely is early access this year. Everyone will play.

[neon owl]

Same. 🙏

[delicate tundra]

bros back after hibernation

[candid ember]

Once I signed up for the play testing before June 27 will they send me a code to download it on my Xbox in one of the waves so I can download it on my xbox

[urban slate]

haiai 👋

[tiny prism]

Yes

[delicate tundra]

isnt hard to mess up a skate game tbh

[neon owl]

I'm taking a break for an hour or so. I was doing stuff until 3am this morning. Woke up at 5am to start again. Almost 8pm now. Gonna be like this til Monday probably.

[tiny prism]

Yes

[vale anchor]

Where else would you play?

[delicate tundra]

thts no good then

[tiny prism]

Idk if it allows streaming to other devices though.

[vale anchor]

Go sneak a nap. I just did

[delicate tundra]

normaly early accese marked games dont

[neon owl]

Nah. I'm gonna nap at around 3am again. Then wake up and get my car fixed. lol.

[candid ember]

Nah I don’t use that stuff I only just download the games or the skate play test game and just play it

[vale anchor]

That's called sleep

[neon owl]

I just hope it's worth it. Time will tell. 🤞

[delicate tundra]

yeah haha good luck

[neon owl]

Oh yea. 😂

[vale anchor]

[candid ember]

Who’s excited for the new upcoming skate. play test?

🛹

[delicate tundra]

i js want my black n white sbs

[candid ember]

What’s sbs?

[delicate tundra]

lows ill send a pic in off topic

[neon owl]

Wife started her week vacation today, btw. lol. So I'm trying to get everything done before next week.

July 4th week vacation 🎆

[vale anchor]

Well that makes your crunch time make more sense

[waxen apex]

Heck yeah!

[neon owl]

But hell.. her mom gonna wanna do everything around July 4th. I'd rather just stay home and work on stuff. Christmas is a month long event with her family, because of timing, events, etc. And then New years comes right after. Thanksgiving right before. lol.

[vale anchor]

ooooooooooooooof

[waxen apex]

Dang

[neon owl]

Last July 4th. We wanted to stay home and canceled the beach trip. Her mom couldn't cancel, and then she felt guilty. So my wife went to the beach for the week anyway. I stayed home and worked on stuff

[vale anchor]

I admire people that have the energy for all that

[neon owl]

I kid you not. We celebrated Thanksgiving for 2 weeks for all the family to have their own time and celebrations. Christmas was all month long, including Eve and the day, and day after. Then New Years Eve and New Years dinners. And then people's birthdays started popping up. Then Valentines, Easter, blah blah. It's insane.

[vale anchor]

When does the sleep part start? 😭

[neon owl]

At 2-3am. Then I usually wake up at 5-6am out of habit. lol.

[vale anchor]

Noooo

[neon owl]

My beard is turning gray and quick. Oh well. It's been like this since 2014. lol

[waxen apex]

Dang. That's a pain. It's probably fun for a day or two, then exhausting.

[neon owl]

I like the food. lol. But I don't like chilling for like 5 hours for so many days.

[waxen apex]

I've been working on my iPod most of the day. Thinking about working on wallets or music

[neon owl]

Good news is.. the mechanics were gonna charge $400 to fix the car. But my family has mechanics and the parts only cost $100. So that's why I gotta wake up early tomorrow. Save $300

[waxen apex]

Worth it! Labor is expensive unless you know a guy

[neon owl]

It's good to consolidate your music. I would do that to my ipod all the time to stop hearing music I don't want anymore.

[waxen apex]

I've just been working on getting cover art in all the folders. I have a third party OS in it and I can just put in music with folders instead of relying on iTunes and I need to put cover art in the folder with specific dimensions and file name for it to show up. Its been a mess. I want every album to have some, but it's a pain sometimes. That's why I do a little at a time

[languid frost]

I want to skate bad

[neon owl]

There was a program I used one time that would detect the songs and get all the info and cover art. It wasn't perfect, but good for sorting thousands of songs.

[neon owl]

Yesterday you said tomorrow.

[waxen apex]

I'm not that desperate. I have a Photoshop script that processes all pics in a folder asap. Then all I have to do is drop the pics in the folders

[tiny prism]

I haven't regularly used local files to listen to music in such a long time

[honest mortar]

I preorder THPS to come with the board (:

[dull pilot]

Me too. I did the first day. Can’t wait til July 8th!

[bright rampart]

Anyone get the Welcome X Elden Ring merch? Saw they had a restock earlier today.

[modern radish]

Praying they have mask cosmetics in the new skate

[honest mortar]

noice

[hollow hazel]

Imagine Halloween in skate

[modern radish]

I can only wait

[honest mortar]

I get to use my skateboard in a haunted attraction to scare people during halloween season

[hollow hazel]

lol that’s sick being able to use your board for work

[modern radish]

I bet there’s gonna be better cosmetics than RR, and you won’t have to pay twenty bucks for a single outfit

[honest mortar]

I use a flint pad on the board so it looks like a fire trail behind me too when I'm going up to people

[hollow hazel]

Those spark trucks/pads would be perfect

[hollow hazel]

I keep forgetting to look but cool they give you the in game currency

Happy w my Vans shirt and backwards cap 😎

[modern radish]

I like my skaters looking cool tbh, makes me feel more good somehow lol

[tribal crypt]

idk where to ask this but what if i signed up for the early access a long time ago?

[hollow hazel]

I’m hyped skate. is gonna have Vans and Dickies I wear a lot of their stuff irl

[hollow hazel]

You should be good, did you get an RSVP email and follow through the link ?

[modern radish]

Imagine decenders style dynamic map but for skate, that would hit crazy

[hollow hazel]

Idk I like their concept of an evolving map, I don’t think it’d be different every time tho, just improved and built upon

[tribal crypt]

i didn't see the email until just now

[hollow hazel]

Oh I’m not 100% sure but if you haven’t RSVPd yet, it might be too late

[dull pilot]

Used to longboard (and bus) to work when I started at EA 15 years ago. Sorta became known for it. When I got the skate. gig, folks were like “of course”.

16 miles each way, 7 of it on my Sector Nine.

But it was Austin, so it was a nice ride.

[hollow hazel]

Man anything to do within the skate industry is a dream but skate. is a different level. Also you’d have to have legs of steel by now

[dull pilot]

I’ve had comments on my calves resembling 90s comic book art.

Helps I try to run 5Ks 3-4 times a week now.

[tiny prism]

gd
your cardio is great

[dull pilot]

I was so proud when I got my fastest 5K time of 24:12. That’s less than 8 minutes a mile.

If the Hobbits could hoof it like me, we’d have 1 1/2 LOTR movies. #justsaying

Hahahahahhaha

[tiny prism]

lmao

[hollow hazel]

I did an introductory Muay Thai class 1 day after quitting cold turkey and threw up in the bathroom 30 minutes in, went back out and finished the next 30 minutes. Don’t smoke is great advice

[dull pilot]

Been contemplating hypnosis. Had a friend do that 22 years ago and never smoked again.

[summer cradle]

Hypnosis? Where do you get that?

[hollow hazel]

Hypnotherapist

[dull pilot]

There’s lots of hypno-therapies for stuff.

[hollow hazel]

I had a friend do the same thing with the same result, definitely can work

[dull pilot]

Fine. I’ll really look into it, crunt. Jeez. Peer pressure. 😉

[hollow hazel]

Woah, maybe I’m the hypnotherapist

Best of luck though🤞🏼

[dull pilot]

Thanks, brother. Trying to be a better human every day.

[vale anchor]

Now what else can we peer pressure him into doing

[hollow hazel]

Pizza party

[waxen apex]

Maybe they can pay for us to go bowling

[vale anchor]

[hollow hazel]

Cousin is that you

[waxen apex]

Idk what we're talking about but bowling sounds fun

[hollow hazel]

Bowling pizza party

[waxen apex]

I am SO down!

[hollow hazel]

Gutter rails up so I can backside smith to 7-10 split

[waxen apex]

https://tenor.com/view/thanos-tanos-imposible-impossible-avengers-gif-21256041

[mild chasm]

Drop The Playtest to my gamer tag on PS4 DoloZone

[waxen apex]

Just sign up. You'll be invited next wave

[hollow hazel]

lol every time I see this whether it’s a gif or the whole movie I can’t help but laugh and think of the “5 year old me when” memes

5 year old me when my brother removes his thumb and reattaches it

[mild chasm]

Will the game show up in library kaiza

[waxen apex]

Idk. I just know everyone is getting accepted who's signed up next round

[hollow hazel]

It should be available to Wishlist

[tiny prism]

you'll get an email with a code to redeem

if you're on pc itll just show up in your library in the ea app

[modern radish]

Finally got to the second map in decenders

[dull pilot]

If you’re invited, it will show in your EA App Library.

For console, you’ll get a code.

[fervent kite]

A code in what like my email or something else?

[loud thicket]

email

[silent anvil]

skate, deltarune, gd and balatro fan no way

[modern radish]

I’m a Jack of all trades

I’m still trying to beat skate 1 tbh

[wraith snow]

With a skatepark, it gotta be like a combined venue with the pizza party splitting the room for safety reasons you know?

🫡

[dull pilot]

Nah, Aol Instant Messenger or ICQ from 1997.

😉

Yes. Email.

[unreal finch]

AIM.. wow haha

[dull pilot]

I’m old.

[unreal finch]

You and me both

[wraith snow]

I don’t trust all that WiFi stuff 👾👽

Can yall morse code visualise it on paper to my fax yo?

[dull pilot]

No, but I’ll telegraph it.

[wraith snow]

Hmmm…. Seems complicated, could we get a carrier pigeon to deliver it (written in ink pen preferably)

[dull pilot]

I worked on BF1 that had pigeon mode. Done.

[wraith snow]

We got a deal then🫡

[topaz talon]

(ive had skate 3 since 2012 lmao)

[quick rock]

Page it to me

[hollow hazel]

Maybe your venue would follow OSHA and food safety standards, not mine

2 quarters either side of the bowling lane, frontside air the strike

Pizza oven Hubba

[dull pilot]

I’ll write you a PenPal letter on college rule paper.

Air Postale style

[quick rock]

I’ll do you one better, send me it in Morse code

[slate olive]

Hey I somehow downloaded skate on my Xbox but I can't play it. Is it because I haven't been accepted? Or do I have to be able to download it for being accepted

[pulsar sonnet]

How'd you download it?

[slate olive]

Xbox store on my phone

[pulsar sonnet]

Just downloaded it as well😂

Doesn't even show up in game library

[past fable]

I think it’s something with microsoft because i think the same happened with gta 6 where you could download it but you can’t play it

[pulsar sonnet]

Brb hacking my xbox to play it

Gonna chatgpt how to play it

[scenic gull]

Not as old as me!!

[full jungle]

wassupp,i didn’t find the info online so i’m asking you guys,i have a ps4 and a macos
Will i be able to play skate. with those

[past fable]

Google said yah so maybe on ur ps4

[river gyro]

Less than a week til July 2nd

[past fable]

4 dayss

[river gyro]

You can also do this with GTA 6

[river gyro]

Less than two weeks TIL Tony hawk also yeeee boi

[worldly delta]

How do I know if im in the playtest, because after I registered I didn’t get any confirmation emails

[river gyro]

That you registered

[lilac maple]

It was MSN messenger for us Aussies

[worldly delta]

Email?

[spice saddle]

I might be playing skate next month. since i first signed up for play testing when it was first announced

[spice saddle]

Yes

[sleek night]

Let's go I'm so hyped

[olive crag]

is it too late to register for the playtest even with a referral code?

[sleek night]

You we're supposed to register before the 27th so I'm pretty sure you're too late

[heavy eagle]

Does anyone wanna add me so I can get a color board on skate 3 ?

[sudden warren]

Missed that convo, but i miss the AIM days

[trail spade]

Your unfortunately gonna have to wait till early access sorry

[dull pilot]

@olive crag sadly, signups closed yesterday.

[spare niche]

someone know the minimum requirements for skate. ?

[bright rampart]

Anyone here ever play Jedi Knight DF2 on MSN Gaming Zone? It would be cool if EA could resurrect that series with Kyle Katarn one day. The online play with sabers sealed the deal and modding was so easy with those cog files.

[tropic path]

I'm so hyped

[astral flame]

Does anyone know what time skate. playtest will go live?

[trail spade]

NDA

[mossy pelican]

how do i access on steam??

[trail spade]

Forgive me if im mistaken but i think 2pm pacific time

[mossy pelican]

i rsvp already

[trail spade]

You have too be accepted you cant just have access with rsvp

[mossy pelican]

damn so i gotta get accepted even after rsvp

[spare niche]

ok

[tiny prism]

You don't, Playtesting is not on steam

You wait until waves start getting sent out weekly on July 2nd, and hope you get in early

It will appear in your ea app library

[waxen apex]

What's good

[trail spade]

Whats cookin good lookin

[trail spade]

But if you’re worried your PC can run it or not, don’t be. Full Circle has always delivered well-optimized games. Battlefront 2 is from the Full Circle team, it looks amazing and runs great.

[spare niche]

i hope my RX580 can survive it

[trail spade]

Probably but gotta remember that its a play test so could still not be optimized

[spare niche]

thank you

[waxen apex]

Yes

[tiny prism]

Dice was the main developer on Swbf2 2017

Full circle helped a fair bit I'm sure, like they did with bf2042

Dice is named as main dev for both games

[gusty carbon]

im just going to give up on the playtest havent got any hlp keeps wanting to to sign up no matter what i do. how many times to need to sign up wtf

[tiny prism]

Once

You can do the survey again to change your answers and update your platform lol
That's all it does

If you signed up once when the playtesting was first announced, you'd get in on the July 2nd waves lol

[dull pilot]

Invite waves (weekly) start Wednesday.
If you signed up before June 27, you’ll be in one of those waves.

[tiny prism]

Dude whenever I give out information and Jeff starts typing i get nervous

Thinking I'm gonna get corrected lmao

[dull pilot]

Hahahaha

As long as it’s accurate, I’m just backing you up, brother.

[tiny prism]

I try to be accurate, but every once in a while everyone needs a correction lmao

Information, attitude, or otherwise

[scenic gull]

Been there before and it is humbling lol. But every once in a while Jeffrey doubles you down (;

[scenic nova]

Need a Braddockville skate spot in the new game!!

Make it happen

[raven imp]

is it important to update your profile preferences for this playtest or it doesn’t really matter ?

[tiny prism]

I mean
If you have the wrong platform selected you should probably change it

[dull pilot]

I’d recommend what Aldonist says. Make sure you update it this weekend.

[scenic nova]

Does saying ur skating in the playtest count as discussion about the playtest

[tiny prism]

Currently yeah

[scenic nova]

Didn't it already change tho so u can say ur part of it, but not what's inside of it

[tiny prism]

I think Jeff said they were gonna relax specifically that after July 2nd but I'm not authority

[scenic nova]

So like, if u say ur skating, is that breaking da rulez

[dull pilot]

You’re fine. Just don’t talk about details. We’ll share when we release the NDA and you can talk about stuff, but keep it chill for now.

[mellow mesa]

Hi guys

[tiny prism]

Wsp

[mellow mesa]

All good, played some skate 1 yesterday

[tiny prism]

I been wanting to get back to that one but don't have a good way to do it currently

[mellow mesa]

It is a good game, the only skate. Game I could play now, since skate 3 somehow broke

[tiny prism]

Riiip

[dry arch]

When is it coming out?

[mellow mesa]

And skate 2 runs poorly

[tiny prism]

No emulation talk here

[mellow mesa]

Sorry man.

[tiny prism]

Yer gud I'm just tryna save you gettin beaned lol

[mellow mesa]

Fixed

[tiny prism]

What is "it"
We don't know when gta 6 is coming out people be talkin about that a ton here

[dry arch]

Isn’t there gonna be a new skate game

[mellow mesa]

End of summer

I think

[tiny prism]

Yeah open release for new skate. is end of summer

[dry arch]

Ok thank you

[mellow mesa]

Really hyped for it

[tiny prism]

You should read #1365004983212179578 for further info, it's got it all

[stable galleon]

Speaking of nda i mean what’s the point of inviting everyone that signed up if nda is still in effect, there are going to be a lot more leaks come next week

[dull pilot]

And we’ll take em down and remove folks from the playtest and then TOS will handle it.

Would be kinda dumb to get an account sanction so close to Early Access release, right?

[river gyro]

Jeff are you aware there’s tones of pre alpha clips on the official skate club on Xbox?

[dull pilot]

Yep. Already escalated to our 1st party team to contact Xbox about it.

[slate olive]

How u guys doin

[stable galleon]

Yeah true.

[kind turtle]

Actually we do have a release date for GTA VI. May 26, 2026. It was shown at the end of Trailer 2.

[scenic gull]

I just realized I might not even get in to the Play test because my ea account linked to my Xbox account uses an old email that's been deactivated 😩

[silver leaf]

when is the end of summer i dont live in america 😅

[dull pilot]

Northern Hemisphere Summer ends with the Autumnal Equinox, which generally falls around Sept 22/23.

It’s the perfect half day - half day/half night. After that, nights get longer with shorter days.

[dull pilot]

Contact EA Help for account support. Do live chat.

[silver leaf]

ah okay so open release is expected around september then i assume, thank you sir

[elder portal]

Hello all

[verbal plover]

“May 26 2026” (gta 6 )if no more delays 💀

[tiny prism]

I'm not hopeful about that one lol

[verbal plover]

No doubt 😭

[grim pier]

yeah excited for skate7

[trail spade]

I know the skate. soundtrack bouta be fire

[scenic gull]

We finally made it to the weekend

Omg so close to emails going out

[slate olive]

One question for playtesting: if I submitted a playtesting request before the recent announcement for the: "all people who submitted to be play testers will be on July 2nd" will I still be entered or is it too late

[trail spade]

Did you do the rsvp before june 27th?

[slate olive]

Ye

Im pretty sure. I think it was a month ago

[trail spade]

Your good then but you aren’t guaranteed too get play test july 2nd

[tiny prism]

You submitted a playtest request
Before the announcement
An announcement which said "if you submitted a request you will get in"

Hm

[slate olive]

Oh.

[trail spade]

It depends you could be lucky

if you don’t make it they are adding more play testers weekly

[slate olive]

Oh cool

[trail spade]

so you still would get the chance regardless

[slate olive]

Honestly I'm hoping I can playtest because I wanna know the new tricks, mechanics, and the new parkour feature

[trail spade]

But did you sign up recently cause im sure you had to do the rsvp again (i think so) too get the july 2nd rollouts

[tiny prism]

No.

[slate olive]

No.

[tiny prism]

You did not, at any time, need to complete the rsvp

[trail spade]

So im assuming the rsvp appears everytime there is rollouts? i signed up ages ago and the rsvp appeared

[tiny prism]

Ea would like you to do they have accurate up to date information on your preferences and platform

[tiny prism]

The rsvp is just an automatic email they sent out

If you signed up AT ANY TIME you'll get in on one of the waves started July 2nd

[slate olive]

Im on my knees praying that I get in and I'm not too late

[trail spade]

Sure we are

[tiny prism]

Do I have to somehow lay it out clearer

[slate olive]

Also I learned about the playtester weeks like yesterday (which was the 28th... :()

[tiny prism]

You
Are
Getting
In
You signed up before the 27th, yes? Then you're in
That's it
That's all

[trail spade]

Its not that serious

[tiny prism]

It seems like it's not getting through

[slate olive]

No I got it

Im just saying that because I kinda mess things up like this

[tiny prism]

It's pretty cut n dry

[frozen cove]

just dont be leaking info and follow thier nda

and enjoy the game

[trail spade]

Once your a play tester ofc

[slate olive]

Ik. It's like a virtual gaming convention

Kinda...

[trail spade]

Imagine you accidentally leak big info and get sued the next day

“You just been served”

[frozen cove]

id just shut my mouth like a good boy and enjoy playing early, no need to ruin a good thing but running ur yapper. only thing i coulkd imagine saying is "yeah game runs great and feels good, u should be hyped for launch"

[tiny prism]

That would technically still break nda lol

[trail spade]

Yeah i said the same thing in my head 😭

[slate olive]

I'm a yapper but I'm making sure I buy gorilla glue so I glue my mouth shut

[trail spade]

Thats true

I was agreeing with the first half “keeping my mouth shut like a good boy”

[tiny prism]

It's easier to not break nda than it is to break it

[frozen cove]

im so hype to get in, i missed the survey for the first test

been hawking my emails like a mfer and just ordered a new controller

[slate olive]

Missed the recent one

[frozen cove]

no i signed up b4 the 27th

even updated my playtester info

[slate olive]

Yeah same

If I'm being real im worried that Xbox one won't be compatible

(it's my only Xbox and I can't upgrade)

[scenic gull]

Hello grow

[tiny prism]

They already confirmed release platforms, ps4 standard and xbone standard (and up) are supported, and mobile eventually though details are sparse

Nothing for Nintendo consoles

[slate olive]

Im still questioning how mobile will work? Like imagine having to move your phone a certain way

[trail spade]

if its coming for mobile i feel like it might come too switch atleast the 2

[scenic gull]

I hope it isn’t gyroscopic

[tiny prism]

The literal same way you'd do it on a controller
Your thumb would move the same on either

[slate olive]

Nah that's unlikely since I think it's cuz of the music

[scenic gull]

Me too. I am so hopeful in a years time we will be playing on our Switch2

[bright rampart]

Gyro is pretty dope actually. I like the pro 2 controller with it.

[mental raven]

i hope they do but they decide to pull off a tony hawk ride and you have to stand on your switch 2 to do tricks

[trail spade]

Switch has some GTA games so i highly doubt it wouldnt come too switch for that reason

[scenic gull]

LOL cant wait to nosegrab the dock

[mental raven]

i cant wait to claim warranty on a "faulty" and "defective on arrival" switch

[bright rampart]

From what I've seen on here it's more about what works with EA's anti cheat running on other distros.

[tiny prism]

Yeah not supporting steamos would be a pretty significant oversight imo

[bright rampart]

Yeah I think that would be more on the EA security team side. I'm not sure how this all works lol.

[slate olive]

This might be a thing they might not add but imagine they add a coffin board

[scenic gull]

I think we will see shaped decks

That is if you mean the legit coffin shaped irl deck

[slate olive]

The one used for dead people is what your thinking of right?

[scenic gull]

That would be a literal ⚰️ board lol

[slate olive]

For Dem Bones

[scenic gull]

Do it for bones

[tiny prism]

If they don't bring out dem bones for Halloween at minimum I'll be upset

[scenic gull]

Since rn there is a huge emphasis in carving out your custom character , im hoping later we get cool character sets like coach frank and irl Pros

[dull pilot]

Yeah, basically EA Javelin (anticheat) doesn’t play well with Proton.

[tiny prism]

They should make it so it does so they don't lock out tens of thousands of devices

That's definitely going to cause backlash

Steamos is gaining traction outside of just the steam deck now

If it happens to actually take off, leaving out early support would be a genuine mistake

[last bloom]

i mean people have console and a phone

[tiny prism]

Sure
People also have pc's
I don't know what kind of point you were trying to prove lol

https://tenor.com/view/do-you-guys-not-have-a-phone-blizzard-diablo-gif-5097388828827651695

[bright rampart]

Wonder if it will be on Game Pass with the EA bundled games in there. Everything is an Xbox! 😂
But really, you can play game pass on most TVs with a decent OS or streaming stick. Maybe something I'll put in a question for the next Grind.

[trail spade]

niche compared to windows in my opinion

[tiny prism]

Everything starts niche

[bright rampart]

It was a good day when I learned I could play NHL through the browser on my PC through Xbox Cloud Gaming.

[trail spade]

steamos has been out for years now bro

[kind turtle]

SteamOS is definitely the most used OS when it comes to handheld pcs by proxy of the steam deck being the most successful handheld pc

[tiny prism]

If their ethos for the new skate is accessibility for everyone then leaving out steamos would be in very direct contention with it

[trail spade]

its been niche for ages LOL

[tiny prism]

Something being niche has literally nothing to do with how long it's been out lmao dude what

[trail spade]

"everything starts niche" steamos isnt just starting

[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.)

[tiny prism]

Compared to windows, yes it is lol

[trail spade]

Then state it that way lol

[tiny prism]

Why are you so against skate being played on steamos

Aggressively, too

[kind turtle]

SteamOS is big enough to have Microsoft trying to improve windows 11 for gaming

[trail spade]

Im not against it just dont see it being necessary personally

[tiny prism]

Ok
You don't gotta dog on people for it tho

I think everyone should get to play it

[trail spade]

What are you on about??? im not "dogging" anyone for it LOL

[bright rampart]

If the market is there, it'll be elevated.

[tiny prism]

If you don't think that we can't be buddies
So I guess we can't be buddies

[trail spade]

Your overreacting

[bright rampart]

Let's all just chill and collectively dog on Mac OS.

[tiny prism]

No, that's lame as hell too lmao

[trail spade]

lets also remember (steam deck or rog ally) are handhelds it needs internet connection and not everyone is carrying internet on them unless your willing too hotspot your phone too your steam deck so i dont see it being a game too play on the road either

[kind turtle]

Mac OS is fine. The apple m series chips are really good. The issue is there’s no games being supported on Mac because not many people game on Mac. And that’s because the Intel Macs were pretty doodoo when it came to gaming. Hopefully with the switch 2 being arm based more games will get Mac ports and help grow the audience.

[tiny prism]

Yeah we Def can't be buddies, damn :(

[trail spade]

Recently they have been

[tiny prism]

Doesn't even take away from skate's development resources since ea anticheat is a company-wide thing not a full circle thing

Being against it just doesn't make sense to me at all

[trail spade]

Nobody is against it

[tiny prism]

You're actively arguing against it here lol

Can you see where I'm coming from

[last bloom]

you said steamos is getting popular

[tiny prism]

It is

[last bloom]

and you can put steamos on a computer

[tiny prism]

Not yet

[trail spade]

You could

[last bloom]

you can

[tiny prism]

It doesn't have support for full desktop systems, just the steam deck and that one Rog ally

It won't run well or at all on a desktop you'd be rolling the dice

[kind turtle]

Lenovo legion go s. Not rog ally

[tiny prism]

True mb
