Ik you don’t make the changes obviously but if they charged less for items more things would be bought just sayinnnnn. More likely to buy 50 $1 (good quality) items than 1 $20 bundle. Just something to possibly bring to their attention🕺🏻

I mean we’re talking digital items it’s not like there’s production cost

Also while I’m here tell them to let us trade rip chips for svb. 100 rip chips = 1 svb. Still need to grind but not unreasonable

The only way I'm spending money on this game is if they promise to refund it if the game doesnt last the year 🤣

The basic clothing ( unbranded stuff ) should be with Rip chips no? cuz having to pay +- 3 to 5 usd for a plain white t-shirt in my opinion is just insane ( it's an example ) , much better stuff that you can spend your money on, and i think that's probably one of the main problems atm

remember: you don't have to play this game lol. I quit a few months ago when it was clear what this was gonna be. Has only gotten worse, naturally. I keep checking back in in hopes things are getting better but here we are. Enjoy it if you enjoy it, do your thing, but go play skate 3 or pick up session or just go outside if you've been bummed since last summer like I have lol, it's not worth it

I’m really curious about who’s leaving the Full Circle team. I just hope these changes don’t make things worse, especially since the game is already in a rough spot. I really hope they focus on smarter revenue options instead of heavy microtransactions and locking maps behind a paywall.

i've been supporting the game since day one and really hope to continue playing and being able to do so, but you guys should probably just make the isle of grom area coming in a couple weeks available for everyone, forever. paid/time-gated content, especially new places to skate, is always going to be received as anti-consumer. i'll be paying for the season 3 pass either way but its very easy to understand why so many people are pissed off about that.

200+ items always available sounds way better than the FOMO merch feed system.
I just hope I didn’t already buy too much stuff and that there’ll still be fresh, quality pieces worth grabbing in there. As long as they keep rotating brands and adding real heat (not just recycled basics), it could be a W for S3 .

Okay. I’ll give you a scenario.

You have two options:

  1. the team listens to one point amidst many others and focuses on fulfilling and implementing a community requested change, even though there are still other things to fix/implement

  2. the team doesn’t listen to any community requests at all

Which would you rather have?
-# And remember, there’s no third option here. Just these two choices. So don’t reply with, “I would rather have a secret third option!” Because it doesn’t exist.

From now on we are listening to player feedback and we are excited for what awaits you in Season 3!"

#

I think graphical settings to make the game like the old skate titles would be cool. Like Skate 1 graphical settings, Skate 2 graphical preset, etc. Not just changing the filter

It makes sense considering this game is the "ultimate definitive Skate"

eternal zenith
#

I think that was a valid observation. If the Q&A says something that then changes, the Q&A loses its value retroactively. Maybe those changes are why they avoid doing such presentations now. I'm sure it sucks to make a promise as a developer and then have your publisher change that promise and make the team look bad

#

guys, you have to understand the difference between "lying" and unfortunately having to pivot. full circle wants one thing, but ea wants another. they obviously didn't want any maps behind a paywall, but if we want this game to survive while we watch the player count go down, they have to start making more money from it. initially they probably thought they could do so on cosmetics, but they quickly learned that wasn't enough. so putting access to the new map behind the premium pass is one solution. and reducing their staff is another. it is what it is. that's the unfortunate state. if you like the game and want to see it keep going, pay $20 every three months for the pass. or just skate the same map for free. that's up to you.

raven fulcrum
#

Unfortunately I do think that this is probably the final nail in the coffin. It's not like the community didn't try to warn the devs VERY early on about the need to change course to make the game appealing to the core Skate playerbase, but there was likely pressure from EA themselves to "shake things up" art style wise. And now ironically those same execs are firing people for a lack of results due to decisions that THEY made. So unfortunate.

Maybe not quite the final nail, but really close to it. Maybe if they actually listened to community feedback from the start instead of making more and more continual anti-player decisions every update it wouldn't have gotten to this point. Or better yet, they'd be making killer money if they actually went ahead and made a proper real skate successor (since I can't call it 4 or the auto mod prevents this message from being sent), full price game with realistic graphics, lots of missions with different types, a big varied map with pro skaters and a story like everyone wanted, without paywalled outfits and ai slop.

gray steppe
# raven fulcrum Big revamps require staff, and they are instead cutting them

Sometimes there are people holding things back for producing better content (or content faster).

It's not always hire more people = better for productivity & quality game. Sometimes its so bloated to the point where nobody is held accountable. Deadlines not being met, these are all things you'd need to see what the day to day of the studio is like to know for certain. Quality > quantity when it comes to these kind of projects in my experience.

I'm leaning towards feeling that there was a lot of things/people maybe not up to par for what the game really needs, and thus were cut. Sometimes you have the right people but in the wrong roles, or just straight up the wrong people for the job.

Only time will tell whats in store for the future of the game.

I think what happens with S3 and S4 will basically confirm or deny the theory. I love the game and still play, that's why I'm in this discord at all discussing these things. I'm passionate about skate. But yeah I'm definitely more worried about the games future than ever before.

I personally think it’s really weird for them to even drop an announcement like they did today. Incredibly vague with almost no real information, I don’t see how it does anything other than stew speculation and cause worry for their more dedicated members of the fanbase that keep up with the updates. Especially after these controversial and disappointing last few weeks for the game and community.
What are your guys thoughts? I personally would have rather they just wait and tell us more substantial and relevant information than what feels like a drama-creating post.

Also: it is 1000% fair to criticize a free-to-play game for whatever faults it may have. Just because something is free, doesn’t make it suddenly unable to be analyzed and critiqued, nor is it dumb to. It is also important to understand the studio decided the structure entirely on their own, while ignoring that a lot of people would I’m sure still much rather pay outright for a game than have a free one with riddled with micro-transactions and various small issues. Can’t believe people are still trying to argue “it’s free, don’t get your panties in a twist” for this game

tbh the announcement today reads as very cold and corporate compared to the usualy full cirlce post. I think it was written by someone from EA and not the actual team, and I also think they might be legally obligated to publicly announce such things.

I agree it just causes speculation and uncertainty. And the people here discussing it are the most passionate community members of all, not just "haters" like I see claimed sometimes. We are upset because we love the game and want it to be great. sad times

# cinder field Yeah but also: making it a paid game does not mean it won’t have mtx. I bought ...

I don’t even mind mtx in paid games, if it’s worth it. Hell, we all paid for DLC maps in skate 2 and 3. I’d happily pay for maps in this game if it meant the game would be successful long term. Mtx doesn’t automatically mean evil.

Even going forward, I would happily pay for maps every season if it meant we got new maps every season. One of the reason the Grom thing stung (aside the obvious change from saying they’d never paywall maps) is because the game has been out for 7 months and they’re just now adding to the map, and it’s an area we’ve already skated.

For real appreciate everybody that can directly share any of this stuff with people that have the control over it. I mentally gave up after what felt like screaming into a void during the early and then later playtests.

@cinder field I understand and agree with what you are saying, and here is mine and everybody else’s argument: Rid the games of the mtx entirely. Scrap them all! Nobody likes them.
Is that naive, to think that greedy corporate interests won’t trump artistic integrity and consumer satisfaction? Sure, and I am not disillusioned about that. But that doesn’t mean that I will shut up just because that’s the way things are, nor should anyone else.

Imagine if everybody in the player council accepted defeat and sighed saying, it’s naive to think my opinions will have any sway. That would suck

I know in this case it’s EA but it’s in every dev blog and roadmap, things being silently put in “discussion” or “and beyond” and saying things change, and spinning every decision into a positive like the removing the peach pants from the store and acting like it was a positive.

this game was advertised on listening to the fans so when the fans have to read through the lines to get every piece of information is the opposite of listening, even if they can’t add what people want they should at least be honest about decisions and why they make them even if the answer is just they need to make the pass have more value for example

Have you ever considered the nonstop negative criticism/dooming about every single game dev choice across all forums/discord/anywhere you see skate., could've been the reason for this happening? 🤣 🤣
Chronic complaining from players is not a good look for the higher-ups / people working on the game / shareholders. People are addicted to outrage though and being outraged.
(In no way was I suggesting on dunking on people who losing their job btw, but more so that the community very much was (and still is) unsatsified with the development team and product being delivered, but suddenly has sympathy for the people who delivered the product that generated all this outrage in the first place)

one of the most frustrating things for me about this whole thing is Full Circle has constantly been operating as if transparency is their #1 value, while in reality we’ve been being toyed with the whole time.

EA, their influence on the trajectory of the game, as well as their bottom-line for what the structure of the game will look like, has been entirely absent from this “transparency”.
This is where the issues stem from, imo.

I understand it is a smaller team of developers that really does care about making this game a reality, but they’re succumbing to corporate pressures and pushing out product that feels like an unfair compromise at best. I’m sure they hate it themselves, too. I think at a certain point it’s a bit inexcusable to me. They know what’s going on, they know they’re having to lie to their playerbase every update, and they keep doing it anyway.

this game had one shot at a first impression and going early access with a focus on monetisation strategies so early was just not it, even ignoring the design issues. I kind of assume they had pressure from higher ups, maybe with the saudi deal looming they were worried it'd be cancelled or something, but yeah even with this live service model it should've at least been feature complete on it's first public release. A live service game is a hard sell on it's own, let alone one that is nowhere near done

“If the game was good players would have stuck around.”

that’s why I will be on the optimistic side from today’s news until we hear otherwise.

The game is just that great currently. It can relatively easily become great, but it’s clear there have been decision makers along the way that simply do not align with what players want. I don’t think that’s really debatable.

We will just have to wait and see to find out if the changes today were to make the game more aligned with player wants, or to milk whatever players remain.

I can't think of another reason (besides trademark/copyright extension) they'd fumble an opportunity for long term profits like this. This game should be a lay up if the goal is profit over time. A consistent revenue stream seems preferable to a flash in the pan and then nothing. If they just wanted a quick profit and to not support a game long term they could have just made some shovelware and thrown it on steam then washed their hands of it. Even from a finance pov it doesn't make sense

if you think about it from the perspective of MBA holding corporate weirdos, they wanted a slice of fortnite's revenue pie and saw skate and it's inbuilt fanbase/virality as an avenue to get there.

Anyone with even slightly more of a finger on the pulse could've seen that this was not the strategy, but these types live in another reality

Direct from the Dev Update:
"Here's how it'll go down: for the first month at the start of Season 3, skate.Pass Premium holders will have unlimited access to Grom. After that, we'll be holding our official grand opening - inviting all of our San Van residents to the Isle for a very special multi- week event in April. With a new brand partner making their Grom debut, you won't want to miss it.

Once the event ends, Grom access will be widely available through skate.Pass Premium, or you can grab an Isle of Grom Water Taxi day pass by using your earnable Rip Chips. The day pass will be 500 Rip Chips, is valid for 24-hours from the moment you get it, and can be used an unlimited number of times within that 24-hour window."

I like the idea of yearly releases

Fresh new map, fresh new clothes, new challenges & story - if you don’t like the new one, can go back to an old one

On that note EA could keep supporting MTX in 2-3 at a time

This title has left a bad taste in many players mouth, I’m pretty hesitant to spend any more money after what we’ve seen - a new route would seperate those titles from this one in players minds (despite the money ending up in the same place)

I never really thought about a game like skate being a yearly game like sports titles. Most of those just have a roster change with very little depth changes year to year.

but now that I’m thinking about it it could be cool. Basically kind of what they’re doing now except each season would last a year, but they’d have to produce a huge new map every year. But they could make $70 per year just from the game, then mtx on top.

Ok I’m sold. I’m just going to keep typing because I wanna get my 5 minutes worth.

It’s never been explicitly said but I wonder if the idea is a map a year, it takes a lot of time and resources to build a map, I cannot see how they’d crank them out every other season ontop of other stuff, they would have had to double staff not reduce

# blazing horizon But it’s not low because of the concept of a game that’s always built upon, it’s...

even if thats the case, the game has to be attractive to the target group. besides the physics and the flick-it stuff, all the other games out there do a better job. graphics wise, value wise, sountrack wise, contentwise, basically everything wise besides the skating itself.
and thats a design choice, not by accident and i don't think thats a winning strategy.
yearly releases that build upon each other is better for the player - because you have to provide enough new content to make it worth the purchase while a life service game can drip-feed you content with a much much worse value for money.
take a look at dovetail games TrainSimWorld. They release a new map including fully simulated trains every year aswell and they are way smaller than EA is.

From what I know about developing yearly sports games (and it’s not a lot) the foundation is there year after year. They tweak things and improve things each season but it’s hardy like they are starting from scratch every year.

@blazing horizon a new map a year would be fine but for the love of the skate gods the next one can’t be as flat and boring as this one lol

The skating itself is the most important tho, all the other aspects can be improved upon but no clue why they haven’t kicked that in gear, maybe that’s part of this change. But playing this then going to session or xl or even the beloved skate style just feels like going back a gen in skateboarding. So for this game to get thrown away is disheartening because it’s so good in the one aspect that matters most. The art style of the game is probably my biggest gripe, but I don’t know that could ever be rolled back as far into as they are. I feel like if they’d introduce brands 1/2 of the complaints would subside tbh lol at least for awhile, really dislike this 5 min cooldown, what else, umm also understanding how to pace a season, but I feel they’re figuring that out. Last 1/3rd of S2 was brutal and I feel set them up for the vitriol of rolling into S3 and missing the mark with Grom and the tix fiasco

Real. At least a game of s.k.a.t.e. is finally on the roadmap but oh my god why didn't they at least confirm it earlier? And why did custom parks go from in development to "in discussion" when "collabo zones" were already beta tested?

I feel like the game is actively moving away from the ideas they already tested positively because of EA's strict monetization policies

And for the record, Full Circle removed all their hiring listings from their website so this isn't a replacement of staff, it's a downsizing

# fallen haven also how long would it even take to make that base game that can just be updated...

yeah its not like they have that already. they just need to add a new map, realistic textures, gritty art direction, single player so you can own the game and theyd secure 60bucks from me a year. they could even add hella micro transaction clothes, i dont care as long as its not advertised in the game. i wanted to buy a dlc map in session the other day and i had to exit the game and open the PS store, skate. couldnt dream of that

They gonna pull that well we didn’t have enough players or micro transactions and then some how blame the player base, I’ll bet money on it

i'm gonna be honest it feels like its taking way too long to develop what are very simple things, idk if its the developers or EA, but how does it even have to take months after months of work just for game of S.K.A.T.E? its kinda preposterous, if its really that hard to develop the game something is very wrong.

maybe a hot take but S.K.A.T.E in multiplayer in the previous versions just got really out of hand with relying on speed glitches to do 1080s/very hard to execute spins more than precision/knowledge of the trick pool.

I can't imagine it'll be fun or good here either.

# worthy moss To me its understandable why people wouldnt like what it turned into in skate 3....

Yeah the community around skate 3 got weird. I think it's cool that people found a new way to enjoy the game, but speed glitches and physics stuff became the thing for skate 3 content on tiktok and whatever.

I think it's difficult to balance the insane stuff for that crowd and also gameplay for the core skate audience. But they are even patching silly glitches that provide no competitive benefits so idk.

I think this game still has the potential to please both crowds. They just need to take a step back from monetization for a moment and focus on making people happy while playing. The money will come naturally after that

its just an excuse to fund the development of an unfinished game without any legal obligations to ever finish it. its like funding a kickstarter. back when this type of early access game development started, it still had some meaning - you had a direct connection to the devs, the game cost a fraction of its release price (and in most cases less than what an ingame pair of shoes in skate. costs), devs listened to the players feedback, you got special goodies (tags, references in the game credits, special editions etc.) - now compare that to this so called "early access".

So many say they should have just released a $70 game and they would have made more money blah blah. As much as I would have loved that, they wouldn’t. A live service can bring in so much more.

But they could have and still can make money from a live service by appealing to skate fans. Thats the maddening part. We would pay for real cosmetics instead of costumes. We would pay for real maps instead of ramps on skyscrapers. We would buy the skate pass if it had actual good stuff in it and not unbranded cartoon stickers. Ugh.

I get that, I do. But had they said from the start maps would be mtx, I think most people would have understood. We all bought maps for skate 2 and 3.

Even now, if they dropped legacy spots next season for whatever price, people would buy them.

It sucks they went back on their word about not paywalling maps. It is what it is at this point. Because I love the series I’d still pay for good maps even now. That’s something that’s worth it to me. The out of touch costumes are not.

Being able to buy specific pieces of bundles for currency would be good. Like the current pack with the devil wings/mask, would be cool to just be able to buy the mask instead of a full bundle if you don't like the rest of pieces.
Being forced into buy a $20 package to get the desired item instead of $4 or $5 for the one piece you want is these days, standard, but lame practice to get you to spend more.
Then you consider its 2100 currency and not 2000 flat, little things like that add up.

doubt. this may work on casual games but not in the skate franchise. i'm still sitting on 1250 svb that i got for free because i don't see any value on the goods provided. i probably would buy the game for 70usd though. explain to me where the reoccurring payment will come from once i got my character to where i want it to be? i have a certain style in real life and once i got my char close enough i'll keep it that way. they would need to be ultra fast to implement new colorways or e.g. shoe types to make me buy it as a micro transaction. same goes for seasons - why should i pay for a limited time event? i much rather pay like 2,99 for the isle of grom as a DLC and keep it forever(or at least until the servers get shut down) instead of paying for overpriced seasons with emotes, clothes, pink rails or other useless stuff i never wear or use. life service is good if its well done and the genre fits this type of monetization but i honestly don't see any way this will work in the skate franchise on a long term.

I get it that this game isn’t what we hoped, but “whatever this is” is a finely tuned skate gameplay experience. That offers a middle ground between super sim and arcadey gameplay. Slow flips, power sliding your last rotation, this game has a lot to offer before you talk about what your tshirt looks like.

im not really sure, but i dont think im getting that 'authentic skate.™ experience' that they were marketing to us for all these years. kinda feels like just a skating game

You guys know what it’s all about ? Putting your left hand in and your left hand out, perchance shaking it all about. You do the hokey pokey and you turn around. That’s what it’s all about

# scenic talon I can point you to a few spots you haven’t hit

i guess my point is more so that there should be such an abundance of things to skate in a skateboarding game that you never get bored. its why people still play skater xl , there are always maps being made. and if you get bored enough you can learn how to make a map yourself lol.

@scenic talon tell me you aint the same guy on threads arguing with people about the game and calling it your "dream" skate game, and before that saying how you thought skate 1 2 and 3 was made for you or does the account just happened to have the same name?

You can literally do a lap around the entire map in literal 2 minutes, how is that objectively large. Skate 3 had 3 maps and together they were 100% bigger than San Van.

skate 3 was way bigger than this map I still find new spots on skate 3 over 10 years later, but in skate 3 you could also be in one spot for hours trying to hit a trick

The map kinda looks big when you're looking at the like in game map but skating around and just being in it, it does feel pretty small.

# scenic talon Do you have anything to quantify that with beyond your emotion? Are you ready to...

I have no idea what u took from my message, cause it for sure wasn’t my point
Idc if it’s bigger
Idc if it’s objectively large- I’m sorry?…

It feels smaller
And then I list reasons why it feels smaller, and use my 10 year love for the franchise as knowledge to help further my point

I don’t hate San van, I’m just out of spots- and I lowkey think it’s bc the map is so flat

Like I know it’s inspired by Amsterdam in the Netherlands, but just bc the Netherlands is the flattest country in Europe…. Does not mean the map should be fully flat… could they add map areas that feel bigger and have more stuff? 110%! but it ain’t here yet- and my point stands….

# scenic talon Again I’ve made it clear I like this game and I want it to live on. You guys ...

I have no idea what ur even saying anymore, this ain’t even defending or coming with solutions for the game anymore, now it’s just shooting down everything we say?
Like I was a biiiiig defender of this game, prob spent too much on it aswell- I want it to do well

But no matter what is said, u shoot it down and blame it on feelings, while then… using ur feelings towards the game is why u defend it?….

Im rlly confused what ur trying to talk about here? Isn’t people being passionate and having complaints and ideas on how to improve the game- good? Cause it shows we care and want it to be awesome? Idk

bro its disheartening to see what's going on fr, I love this game and I loved just seeing random people rip it up on the map. If this game fails, I'm praying that it doesn't. I'm never commiting money to anything with EA's hand in it again. I lost wild hearts man T_T i liked that game
