general-discussion

[glad heron]

okay didn't expect that. well i just hope there still be a way to get premium token to get whatever i want.

[scenic gull]

I expect you to stop being so childish and move on. You're just repeating yourself at this point

If it is a great expereince then why would it flop?

[fast eagle]

goodbye skate

[scenic gull]

literally, how you gonna complain at something thats FREE

[fallow heron]

How to make suggestions?

[regal estuary]

im not gonna read all these messages or search bc theres alot lol. but its there gonna be user created stuff again?

[turbid grail]

Eh doubt people will go to the effort of buying something from a shop they see in a game

[topaz gulch]

worded wrong

[regal estuary]

or has that not been announced

[turbid grail]

If your talking like getting traffic

[scenic gull]

#skate-ideas-archived

[fallow heron]

How do I type them

[regal finch]

alright EA this is your chance to actually make a good game again

[scenic gull]

the only confirmed thing we've seen so far are collabozones mentioned in the board room video

[scenic gull]

Because its an EA based game, NOthing they make is fairly good for the consumer that is free. APex has the worst battlepass and the worst skins.

[dull pilot]

What is expected in this server:
To follow the rules, to be constructive in your feedback and to share your concerns without being overly dramatic when we've only shared a tiny bit of information so far with so much info yet to be shared. That's all.

[abstract magnet]

i would if it was my local shop + shops i like around the world

[dull pilot]

Cool idea. Share it in #skate-ideas-archived

[spring ingot]

but not all, most the clothing thats free will probably be unbranded and I'd like to express myself for free and not having to stress over paying for 1 thrasher t-shirt or something like that

[narrow yarrow]

I dont see one rule I have broken though

[fallow heron]

I got it

[buoyant quail]

aight imma head out for the night, y'all have a good one

[turbid grail]

Exactly it really pisses me off with all the dumb suggestions like one guy wanted BMX and all people see this game as their opportunity to add tons of stuff and they forget what the whole game is about

[white arch]

He didn’t say you broke any

[dull pilot]

Did I say you broke a rule? No. You asked what was expected.

[regal estuary]

ok i am wondering about that. id like to see the community build parks again. those were always fun.. idk why they wouldnt honestly

[scenic gull]

would you pay thousands to get a brand to feature in your game and give away all that brands stuff for free?

[glad heron]

knowing that the gameplay is great and the f2p factor i imagine it like genchin or apex

[narrow yarrow]

I know I was just wondering

Never said he said I broke a rule

[abstract magnet]

@dull pilot thanks for doing what you do, handling all these guys must be a pain

[scenic gull]

Oh yes cause genshin doesnt make you pay at alllll

[spring ingot]

seemed like it worked for skate 3

[fallen crane]

sick idea, there is a car game made where i live (melb,aus) they have items in game from local shops and car scenes as well as big companies,

[scenic gull]

10 years ago

[turbid grail]

I guess but it's like in skate 3 if you saw Dr pepper or coca cola or whichever they had I doubt you would be inclined to buy said drink after playing at least the majority wouldn't I assume

[scenic gull]

From what it seemed in the video, it looks like there will be public zones you can build with friends. They didn't share much more than that. But agreed it would be a sad day for me if we couldn't drop some ramps and rails down

[narrow yarrow]

What does CM stand for? Creative Manager?

[cobalt dust]

Community Manager

[turbid grail]

Close. It's community

[narrow yarrow]

Ah

[abstract magnet]

I like skate brands idk much about dr pepper and cola bro lmao

[spring ingot]

because 10 years ago the game was fresh and they were profiting off of it because it was new. same would go for skate 4 or skate.

[turbid grail]

Yea I just remembered in free skate you could be a coca-cola can or something

[glad heron]

i mean i still enjoy the gameplay and you can grind to get token. once you have grind your board, tshirt and shoe there will be nothing more. i dont imagine p2w though

[turbid grail]

I just don't think having a AD in a video game does much but I could be wrong

[dawn trench]

Dr Pepper yea lol good fun

[scenic gull]

How tf you make skateboarding p2w?

[scenic gull]

gaming has changed alot in the past 10 years, f2p games with cosmetics are what do well, fortnite, valo, apex, etc. thats just how it is

[scenic gull]

marketing is a complex world

[narrow yarrow]

They will find a way

[scenic gull]

Lol you right

[white arch]

Shoes give extra strength to legs lol

[topaz gulch]

i dont know how you could even make a skating game "p2w", i personally am not really worried about it

[scenic gull]

did you watch the boardroom video

[glad heron]

like i said it'll be cosmetic only. you can enjoy the gameplay all you want

[vale anchor]

Legit gives me a headache sometimes lol

[tiny prism]

it's definitely giving others here a headache lol

[scenic gull]

Better to just let them wallow in their sorrow lol

[vale anchor]

Pins

[scenic gull]

Anybody here into woodworking? I scored a nice stash of tigerwood today for 75 bucks!

[fallen crane]

special edition board will be sick on my wall if they do one

[vale anchor]

Oooooo nice

[white arch]

Cool dude

[fallen crane]

wicked, what you making ?

[regal estuary]

they dont need p2w bc fortnite started the free to play model and made an insane amount of money to where most games switched to season passes and so forth

all for cosmetics

[shut nebula]

sup guys'

[spring ingot]

and you're right but countless AAA games releasing paid games profit greatly. f2p games do need mtx I will give you that but making a game that has very much the right to be a paid access game f2p is the wrong move

[regal estuary]

the bigger concern will be how does that affect community driven stuff and uploads or if we will be able too.

[scenic gull]

Probably flip-top boxes with these. It was left-over siding that somebody sold on the FB marketplace. So it's only about 3/4" thick. But anything small should be great with this stuff. I saw a few spots with really nice figure already.

[glad heron]

yeah i see it the same way+the occasional colab with marvel, etc

[scenic gull]

idk about started it but maybe perfected it lol

[white arch]

Noice

[scenic gull]

it wasnt a wrong move for fortnite, valorant or any other game, they still make millions. 🤷‍♂️

[fallen crane]

sounds so good!!

[regal estuary]

i think it was billions honestly lol

[scenic gull]

oh yea true

[white arch]

I think y’all need to take the game with a grain of salt and hope for the best

[scenic gull]

yeah, its hardly finished its main graphics, how we gonna judge it

[scenic gull]

I think some of these people have had enough salt lol

[white arch]

lol

[regal estuary]

look at rocket leauge. i got it when it first dropped for like 5 or 10 dollars. then after forkknife they switched to season passes for cosmetics and make a fortune with very little fuss

[scenic gull]

what kills me about this is, since you couldn't buy it on Steam anymore, people were selling keys for literally hundreds of dollars. My friend actually bought a steam key for Rocket League for like over 200 bucks

just to be on steam haha

[regal estuary]

wow lol

[scenic gull]

to be fair his argument was that you can't play steam workshop maps on epic rocket league. But he never plays custom games EVER lol

[regal estuary]

lol. fair enough. but that wouldnt be enough for me to spend that kinda money for it lol. but same time ive bought so many all access games for the top price little tipsy and next day smh bc i see the email of what i spent for something i could of just grinded for lol

[spring ingot]

Im not saying they wouldnt make money off of this but Im just saying instead of making it ftp why not make it paid and give us the cosmetics for free because a lot of people dont want to buy a few full outfits for 60$ but they would rather buy the entire game for 60-70$ and get free cosmetics

[white arch]

When will I know I get a invitation to the skate. game

[regal estuary]

from what i got from the video was if they did that it wouldnt generate enough money to keep the servers and devs going to keep this game evolving for years to come

[timber oak]

Yes, through email

[rich vigil]

they'll probably email you or something, big "dont call us, we'll call you" vibes haha

[scenic gull]

as much as you might not like it, simply put, it's because the F2P is a better business model. Whales spend a lot of money on these games and business love that. You gotta learn to hop on the backs of whales and enjoy the free ride.

[white arch]

Ight thanks

[regal estuary]

micro transactions would keep it going bc a lot of kids aka like mine will do so many chores and stuff to earn money to put into games like that just to brag to his friends. or even a few times gift to girls he like irl that play lol

[dull pilot]

"why not make it paid"

Because in the past, the paid barrier actually prevented folks from getting the game. And then with paid DLC, some folks would have content and others wouldn't (because they couldn't afford it or didn't buy it).
By removing that big barrier, we want to ensure there's as few barriers as possible to getting in the game - and MTX isn't required to enjoy the game and have fun.

Folks who want to use MTX can, folks that don't want to, don't have to.

[regal estuary]

i was literally about to say that

[scenic gull]

My biggest concerns honestly were locked up maps and loot boxes which were specifically mentioned in the board room vid. That alone was perfect for me.

[gleaming peak]

Hey

[scenic gull]

howdy

[white arch]

Yo

[wet quartz]

will there be a story line or is it just gonna be another free to play game where u can just hop in and do whatever?

[regal estuary]

lol some like me arent worried about cosmetics as much as gameplay. but still like to have my own created stuff if possible. is that something that may happen @dull pilot

[glad heron]

lootbox are big nono if they want eu players because of eu law

[dull pilot]

We'll have more to share in the future. It's definitely a big topic we've seen today.

[dull pilot]

No Paid Lootboxes.

[white arch]

Bread

[gleaming peak]

How is everyone?

[rich silo]

in the video, it references a link http://skate.game and it doesnt work when you go there. game looks amazing btw cant wait!!!!

[scenic gull]

.... paid... you got some free loot for me?

[spring ingot]

fall guys wasnt free and it was such a good game because you could get everything for free but now you have to pay for everything and its just too much money and I just dont want that to happen to skate 4

[rich silo]

weird now its working

[tiny prism]

clicking that link worked for me

[gleaming peak]

try another browser?

[rich silo]

working now. cant wait to play the new skate.

[scenic gull]

sometimes I can't tell if my jokes seem serious or not.

[scenic gull]

I just made a suggestion to make a halo infinite style model

Maybe make a paid story campaign add on for those of us that like that while keeping the multiplayer free

[rich silo]

no pay2win is the best way to go

[shut nebula]

Wonder if that game will have an option to make a posse with you friends. Sort of like a clan and maybe have a custom deck graphic you can design for your posse

[dull pilot]

We'll have more to share - we know the creator community (graphics, etc.) is a big part of the skate. community. Hang loose and we'll have more info to share. (I know I sound like a broken record on that - but we really have a lot to share in the coming months.)

[scenic gull]

Skate 3 did

[spring ingot]

will the emotes have to be paid for

[white arch]

Probably

[tiny prism]

you should write up stuff like that into #frequently-asked-questions-and-more

[gleaming peak]

Much love @dull pilot !

[white arch]

But I could care less about emotes

[tiny prism]

so we can just link to the channel

[dull pilot]

We're building out that FAQ with a LOT of info.

[spring ingot]

thats annoying

[dull pilot]

Besides, I like responding to folks.

[tiny prism]

love to hear
cant wait to see more

[lethal notch]

Can we all say a prayer for Jeff's keyboard?

[regal estuary]

absolutly understand. lol. its good to see atleast a comment to let you know that there is ideas and you all are probably trying to find the way that works best for all communities and platforms. thank you

[scenic gull]

I honestly don't get all the need for a story. Can you guys honestly sit here and tell me with a straight face that any of the Skate stories were memorable? lol Maybe I'm being harsh but it's literally a non-memory for me. I just remember playing the game.

[tiny prism]

can we pool together and buy braddock a backup keyboard just incase

[dull pilot]

I have backup keyboards. If this one fails, we'll be alright.

[scenic gull]

🍞 👍🏻

[lethal notch]

hahah

[scenic gull]

Yeah I don't care about emotes or clothes as long as they aren't doing things like "pay 500 skate bux to get your custom graphic on your board" and that's like a month straight of grinding if you don't pay

[tiny prism]

he stays prepared for everything
based

[gleaming peak]

Now, that's MY CM !!

[fallen crane]

i wonder if they will keep glitches in the game that make it fun? like speed glitch, obviously take out the ones that brake the game

[white arch]

Skate 1 hit by bus Skate 2 get out of prison Skate It big earthquake Skate 3 own board company

[regal estuary]

i like a mode to a point for offline use. but i am a big fan of sxl and create stuff and learned to create maps using unity and blender and other things bc of it

[dull pilot]

I event have a couple of 2080TIs in case something happens. BECAUSE ONE MUST ALWAYS BE ABLE TO GAME.

[gleaming peak]

We actually got the best CM. I swear, he never sleeps

[gleaming peak]

let me borrow one

[dull pilot]

Not much, no. LOL hahah

[scenic gull]

lol Is that point proven then or what?

[white arch]

Idk

Oh

[gleaming peak]

The important thing is, that you love your job. Which makes you as goated as you are

[scenic gull]

Every engine has glitches
Since skate 4 (I'll always call it that for ease) has a new engine I wonder what that'll mean for physics

[white arch]

Ig

[gleaming peak]

You got our support Jeff !

[scenic gull]

I'm sure people will find stuff

[scenic gull]

I'm genuinely looking forward to it. The launch glitch in skate 2 was my favorite one

[rich vigil]

i wonder if skate. is gonna use frostbite or something

[glad heron]

hey braddock what does the skate. team play or get inspired by? tony hawk, sessiin, skaterxl, olliolli, jetsetradio?

[dull pilot]

I love my job - but I love y'all just as much.

You know the first community I was an Admin (not CM) for back in 2011 when I got promoted from answering phone support questions?

Skate 3, NFS World, and Battlefield Bad Company 2.
Spent 9 years on Battlefield - and now I'm the CM for skate. and NFS.

[scenic gull]

The one where you would slightly crouch and push mongo and ollie at the same time to launch yourself up lol

[white arch]

Hell yea

[dull pilot]

That's a super great question for the AMAA. Save it.

[gleaming peak]

You worked on skate 3?

[scenic gull]

It is, one of the devs confirmed it

[gleaming peak]

We love and support you man !

[rich vigil]

oh, nice

[scenic gull]

yurrr

[heady needle]

I lowkey mess with that Dior shirt in the trailer how much is it?

[gleaming peak]

dude bad company 2 was my childhood

[heady needle]

Or what’s the name of the piece?

[dull pilot]

I was on phones helping folks with the Skate Online Pass and whatnot when Skate 3 dropped. I was the Forum and TOS admin - and lurker on the Skate Fluckit site (non-official community.)

[scenic gull]

I think that as long as the game plays well and is easy to film with it'll be a hit

[regal estuary]

1million dollars

[rich vigil]

what a climb, omg. Glad you got up here. Also, kinda remind that I should download NFS heat now that i have that lmao ❤️

[tiny prism]

Bad Company 2 was easily my favorite battlefield game
so good

[scenic gull]

It's gonna be so sick seeing next-gen skate graphics. No more Neanderthal characters lol

[dull pilot]

DEFINITELY. Such a fun game.

[gleaming peak]

No way ! and now look, you're the CM of Skate. That's crazy

[heady needle]

Is the speed glitch in skate 4 👀

[vivid vessel]

heat is awesome

[white arch]

Wonder in the new skate game if there will be a in game currency to buy new boards etc

[weary plume]

yes

[vivid vessel]

like skate coins

[white arch]

Frank coins

[regal estuary]

with micro transactions i would believe so

[scenic gull]

Frank Bucks guys. get it right!

[ebon leaf]

Cuzcoins

[white arch]

My fault

[scenic gull]

I think full circle could polish up the pre alpha and just release it and it'd be more popular than session and Skater XL if they released it correctly

(They shouldn't for obvious reasons, just making a point)

[dull pilot]

I have hilarious stories about BF3..

Real quick :

So it was launch week and we noted some server irregularities.
I logged in and jumped into a match on Damavand Peak. MY team, not the enemy, saw my name (EA_AgentX) and recognized me from the forums. They all pulled out their knives - "Give us your dog tags".
So I noped out of there and jumped off the peak. Never even opened my parachute and hit the ground. Then I ALt-F4'd. LOL

They got so salty on the forums. HAHAHAH

[turbid grail]

I hate some of these suggestions like seriously people quit asking for Spotify integration all platforms already support Spotify and adding it to the game is going to be legal hell and a waste of dev time

[white arch]

Lol

[scenic gull]

100 cuz coins gets you 1 frank buck

[tiny prism]

i got so many good memories in battlefield, im glad the team has fun with it too

[fallen crane]

who else has a broken bone right now ?

[gleaming peak]

Man was trolling lol

[random veldt]

Dislocated bone if that counts

[fallen crane]

counts!!!

[white arch]

Money system like skate 2

[dull pilot]

My favorite would be to take someone's tags, then post as an Admin on the forums with a screenshot. LMAO

[turbid grail]

Me

[spring ingot]

​considering there is micro transactions they should make a thrasher pass

[regal estuary]

hall of meat them dudes lol

[white arch]

Like when you break your bones you get money

[gleaming peak]

Ahahahaha !

[dull pilot]

HAHAHAHAHA

[scenic gull]

Lol they have security guards who rob you of your in game currency

[heady needle]

I wanna know what the sound track is going to be. Since the previous skate games had amazing sound tracks just hope Skate got a mix of classic with newer era music hip hop or what ever

[gleaming peak]

This explains your humor man, I love it

[scenic gull]

only ever fractured my hand one from being stupid and angry lol Don't punch a metal garage wall. Garage wall always wins

[white arch]

Or you bribe them to get the spot

[scenic gull]

Their ai is far more aggressive than skate 2

[white arch]

Holy crap

[fallen crane]

oooft noted hahahah

[white arch]

That’s a good idea

[hollow marten]

I still just cant believe theyre not actually making skate 4 lol. way to completely miss the mark

[turbid grail]

Really hoping the academic gets added to the sound track it would be great exposure they only got 103k yt subs and their music is great

[scenic gull]

haha I thought this was a joke but then remembered that's for real how it worked

[regal estuary]

as far as i know the controls are staying the same. is there anything where they might go little different? or stick with just inputs like previous versions

[rich tartan]

Got a fractured knee cap atm

[scenic gull]

I'm really curious how the parkour controls will feel. Without being too harsh, the walking in skate was never great lol

[hollow marten]

wheres the innovation and evolution of the actual skating parts of the game? so far all ive seen is fall guys on skateboards

[dull pilot]

OOOF.

Fell down a volcano/mountain in the Caribbean when I was 18 riding my New Deal. Broke my knee in half. I feel ya. REST.

[heady needle]

My list of artist I’m hoping to see in the new skate game is maybe MF DOOM,Earl sweatshirt , Tyler the creator, joeybadass, alchemist etc

[scenic gull]

Nah, I don't wanna give EA any options to block off the map

"We said none of the areas will be blocked off, there's a security guard, and he's fast and deadly and robs you, but TECHNICALLY you can skate they're... You have the OPTION to pay him microtransactions, but you don't HAVE to"

[lusty knot]

Yooo who up rn

[tiny prism]

do you have a favorite story with your time at ea?

[scenic gull]

that cannot feel good. sorry to hear that!

[rich silo]

i hope theres classic hiphop also in the soundtrack not only new stuff

[scenic gull]

okay that's pretty funny honestly lol

[spring ingot]

I wanna ask because Im sure you are high enough to hear the opinions of others on the skate team, what did they think when they heard the pre pre pre alpha game build was leaked?

[turbid grail]

If you look in the music suggestions playlist they have a bit of tyler

[heady needle]

I would want to see some Nas

[scenic gull]

I'd rather no security guards than give EA a vector of monetization that would make the game less fun

Same with boards wearing down. True skate makes you buy new boards with currency when yours get scratched up and I hate it

[tiny prism]

that'd be literally pay to win

[hollow marten]

whats even the incentive to have a licensed soundtrack in this game? if its all multiplayer you wont even wanna hear music while youre playing with your friends. not having licensed music means they have to spend less money which seems like what their intention is

[dull pilot]

https://www.ea.com/games/skate/news/an-update-from-the-team

[scenic gull]

Not if they said "you don't have to go there to win the game, it's just a fun, optional spot"

[deep vale]

sadly every EA game is usually like that

[scenic gull]

I just want the tony hawk 1 soundtrack. Is that too much to ask?

[rich tartan]

Didnt feel good the day i got it, but its a couple weeks in now so its pretty fine. Just wish i could work and make some cash

[tiny prism]

then an area would be blocked off

[tiny prism]

mute the game music and look up a thps 1 music playlist
ezpz

[spring ingot]

awesome

[turbid grail]

Just predicting it now Skate. Is gonna be GOTY

[rich tartan]

The funny/sad part is i fractured it by tripping over my own shoe laces. Dumbest injury ever

[hollow marten]

lol

[dull pilot]

I have quite aa few. One day in VC I'll share some - that aren't NDA'd.

[regal estuary]

very classy way to say why are you playing an outdated version of an alpha lol. aka you are gonna let your self down lol

[white arch]

Man I hope I get invited to the play test

[dull pilot]

https://tenor.com/view/wink-got-it-dude-rocket-raccoon-hint-gotcha-gif-23822337

[scenic gull]

But how would I hear Reda talking to me?

[vivid vessel]

it will dethrone some multiplayer games i bet

[vale anchor]

Anyone else just look at the job posting for full circle and wish they weren't into a different career path just for right now? Or is that just me

[tiny prism]

if you decide its story time in vc tag me i love story time

[spring ingot]

I am trying to sign up to the newsletter for skate 4 and its saying error something has gone wrong please try again later

[rich tartan]

Is there a way to check what songs/bands have already been suggested for the game on the spotify list without scrolling through the whole dang thing? Dont wanna repeat what someones already posted

[tiny prism]

how do i become phone support for skate. i would like a career path change

[hollow marten]

you guys actually think this game will have security guards kicking you out of spots? doesn't even seem like there will be npcs lol

[timber oak]

if EA needs a meme manager I'm their guy 😂

[gleaming peak]

I misread, but yes

[rich tartan]

If full circle needs an electrical apprentice someone call me

[tiny prism]

you determine that from an extremely old build?

[vivid vessel]

my name is Gustavo

[white arch]

Can I control insta skate account?

[white arch]

But you can call be sus

[tiny prism]

this but for real tho

[scenic gull]

this would be a blessing honestly compared to previous games. Stupid NPCs would always flock right where I'm trying to setup a line

[rich tartan]

Couldnt you do the down taunt button in skate 2 and 3 to make npcs disperse?

[rich vigil]

the theorycrafting do be out here lmao

[heady needle]

Instead of given the NPCs tasers and stuff they should litterally square up to you or give them a gun just to be a little realistic

[rich tartan]

I know its in 3 but not sure bout 2

[scenic gull]

Well they say you're supposed to but it hardly ever worked haha

[white arch]

See you guys later

[dull pilot]

Yep. I made 2 playlists that are linked in the #skate-music-suggestions room.

[vale anchor]

If only I took c# more seriously

[hollow marten]

no but judging from going down the skate 3 path, which made the world massive and empty because of the focus on multiplayer, this game being solely marketed as a multiplayer game doesnt bode well at all

[dull pilot]

For sure.

[rustic hollow]

can anyone tell me if the new game "Skate." Will there be other versions in other languages?

[tiny prism]

next they'll determine skate.'s release date based on whether they woke up on an even minute or odd minute

[ebon leaf]

it wasn't in 2, I was playing skate 2 a while back and tried it but it didn't work

[scenic gull]

man is this what I used to sound like when I took gaming too seriously?

[dull pilot]

Hmm. Try clearing your browser cache and relaunch your browser. If it happens again, you're probably already signed up.

[heady needle]

Imagine if skate was VR compatible

[ebon leaf]

a while back being like, last week lmaoo

[scenic gull]

https://tenor.com/view/drunk-fall-down-stairs-gif-13180785

[shut nebula]

just try it irl 😄

its fun

[hushed lance]

youtube comments on the board room video looking appropriate. accurate representation of how the community is feeling right now.

[heady needle]

Idk overrated just skate in vr 😂

[hushed lance]

@dull pilot make sure your team reads the youtube comments section. probably get some leads there.

[shut nebula]

go buy a board tomorrow, itll change your life

[dawn trench]

Skating in vr don’t break ya kankles

[heady needle]

I’m kidding I have my own board g 👍

[vale anchor]

I'm good, thanks though

[scenic gull]

lots of confirmation bias there for ya? lol

[heady needle]

Beating npcs with my board in VR would be I’ll

[fringe halo]

This is wholesome af

[hushed lance]

in my experience the youtube comment section of a video game is actually a really good and balanced representation of the general community consensus- especially when its comments on the official youtube channel of the game and not a detractor channel.

[vivid vessel]

truth

[weary plume]

same

[dull pilot]

We take feedback from all sources.

[hushed lance]

The people against the f2p live service announcement is probably around like 20:1 ratio. I would love to see how you guys go ahead and justify that as a good community driven choice.

[tiny prism]

Got a source on the 20:1 figure?

[gleaming peak]

Today been a crazy day

[dawn trench]

I can understand why they are mad at it tho to be completely honest ea has not got a good history with free to play game

[vale anchor]

Where you not here hours ago?

[gleaming peak]

The discord has been going wild

[tiny prism]

Yeah it was nice and peaceful when he was gone

[vale anchor]

You missed out

[fringe halo]

Chat was hopping off

[timber oak]

[scenic gull]

I just have one question. Has complaining about F2P ever stopped EA from doing what they do? Money talks way louder than noisy forum trolling. They wouldn't do this if it wasn't a good business model. Money in their pockets means we get more skate game. It's really that simple when you break it down.

[hollow marten]

the youtube video has 3000 dislikes and every top comment is someone who knows what "free to play" actually means in the broader spectrum.

[gleaming peak]

I’m guessing another 2 days

[fringe halo]

I dont trust anyone to advocate for whatever choice is right for this game more than the devs

[scenic gull]

How many likes?

lol

[buoyant rock]

I dont understand the point you're trying to make when the real decisions are made by where the money is

[scenic gull]

The loudest is usually the minority

[timber oak]

The dislike extension isn’t the real number just letting yk

[vivid vessel]

yea the game looks great and full circle are amazing but ea makes me fear for this game

[buoyant rock]

like i understand the devs and truly believe they want whats best for the game but also, yknow how things dont always work out

[gleaming peak]

Nebula really being a boss with that new pfp

Suits can really change a man to make them intimidating

[dull pilot]

That's fair. And things aren't always doom and gloom. So - maybe meet in the middle with some cautious optimism?

[scenic gull]

man god forbid lol

[hollow marten]

Just because the majority likes it doesn’t = good. The loud minority is people who actually cared about the “authentic” experience they said they were trying to create. This doesn’t feel authentic at all

[scenic gull]

bruh my iphone bathery is 90

The health

[gleaming peak]

Charge it

[hushed lance]

I cannot find a single optimistic comment on the "board room" video after scrolling for a few minutes. It has 76k views so its a larger sample size than discord. I also cannot find many positive responses on reddit either. This discord is the only place I see people defending the decision really and its also the most moderated place. not a coincidence likely.

additionally, single player single premium fee games transitioning to ftp live service games is probably the most hated thing that a dev or publisher can do right now.

[scenic gull]

the health is

[fringe halo]

I'm saying if it was wrong for the game then the devs would have done their best to communicate it when they decision was being made

[scenic gull]

I guess I don't care about skate. You guys hear that? If you liked the video today you don't care about Skate

[white fox]

who's ready for the skate. pass
only $8.95 a season

[scenic gull]

frank pass

[tiny prism]

You're inserting bias into an unbiased question
I just want legit hard stats

[gleaming peak]

Fr fr

[vivid vessel]

battle pass wouldn't be terrible but there not wanted by anybody

[white fox]

man's pulling out his protractor and compass for this one

[tiny prism]

Make a claim back it up

[hushed lance]

cringe redditors in the building

[hollow marten]

You sound like you work for EA. Do you not understand that the free to play model is not what the people who harassed EA for years wanted?

[weary plume]

no it would be terrible

[tiny prism]

So you can't prove it
Confirmation bias is strong with this one

[gleaming peak]

How you gonna complain about a game that isn’t built? Not very logical

[white fox]

man's literally a wikipedia article

[hushed lance]

source le EX SoUrCe

[scenic gull]

Well I guess you don't always get what you want huh? Quit acting so entitled

[buoyant rock]

the business model is what people have an issue with, which has already been (somewhat) established

[gleaming peak]

You can’t predict the outcome of the game from an influenced opinion

[white fox]

they legit told us the outcome 🗿

[gleaming peak]

Wait for the next update

[buoyant rock]

honestly i do think it would be really interesting to see community polling on this

[dull pilot]

Rule 17 is pretty easy - or should be.
BE NICE.
So.. be nice. Or take a timeout. That's the option. No need to attack others because they're not agreeing with you - on either side of the conversation. Full stop.

[scenic gull]

... not me, couldn't be, then who?

okay I'm sorry dad lol

[buoyant rock]

but you kind've can from past experiences/examples, i.e. Anthem

[fringe halo]

If y'all are this pressed just sign up for the beta and see for urself

[buoyant rock]

i dont think anyone is necessarily complaining about the actual gameplay, it seems fun and I personally am excited for it

[dull pilot]

That's just inferring based on past data - which is not always reliable.

[gleaming peak]

Full Circle didn’t make that. They’re taking a lot of time into this game. Things can change or might not be the way you vision it from being said

[white fox]

i want gay decks in skate 4, that'd be so cool

or better customisation

or anything please

[gleaming peak]

All I’ll say is, next update will probably make more of an understanding with what was said

[scenic gull]

oh I can give you anything if that's all you want

[gleaming peak]

And they will also take your feedback from it

[fringe halo]

If the servers were to meet the same faith as anthem (even in like 10 years) would skate. still be something that I'd playable?

[trail mural]

hoping there's an offline vers.

[cobalt dust]

[fringe halo]

Or at least an end of life offline patch

[waxen apex]

Finally copped AirPod Pros

[spring ingot]

I think everyone trusts Full Circle, but nobody trusts EA. Free to Play is kinda scary.

[buoyant rock]

idk but understandably that does take a lot of the optimism away from me and some other members of the community, i guess we'll just have to see though

[white fox]

hopefully skate doesn't become geometry dash 2.2 and gets delayed time after time

[gleaming peak]

Yeah man

[fringe halo]

What a fun example

[gleaming peak]

They will 100% listen to all feedback said

It’s a game summoned by a community after all. We have voices for this

[opaque coyote]

I hear what you're saying and I understand and it's valid

[jovial pollen]

hi

[white fox]

hálfē

[spring ingot]

I loved to just single player skate around and create lines and do a trick over and over again till I got it. as long as there is single player with a story im fine

[buoyant rock]

i know it won't be reliable or accurate at all, but some method of community polling to see how people really feel about this would be interesting

[gleaming peak]

For ideas you may have. Go to #skate-ideas-archived

[jovial pollen]

hru jan

[fringe halo]

Yeah I got no doubt full circle will do there damn best

[white fox]

man just called me jan 💀💀💀

games flop when they don’t listen to the community

[fringe halo]

Yeah fair enough

I so wonder what wild creations are gonna be scattered across the city when launch happens lol

Especially if folks casually work together to forge worlds largest human bowling alley

[tiny prism]

Building only in collabozones I think

[vale anchor]

Now you're thinking with portals

Just make it ontop of some buildings and boom

[tranquil sage]

Here's a fun question for y'all

What EAPlay rewards y'all think would get added for skate.? 🤔

Like if they manage to add Issac's board back in somehow

[fringe halo]

Conspiracy Theory: Super Ultra Mega Bot has become sentient

[tiny prism]

How do you figure

[narrow yarrow]

Does anybody know anything about help with Skate 3?

[fringe halo]

Idk it seems very unbot like

[tranquil sage]

-Super Mega bot casually plots to recreate it's homebase in San Vasterdam to plot world domination- 😱

[narrow yarrow]

Im trying to change my online team name and profile picture and it wont let me

[timber oak]

shhhh

[tiny prism]

Sounds good tbh

[woven peak]

loved the board room

[tiny prism]

Same

[frail smelt]

Is it only gonna be on Origin?

[fringe halo]

It's EA so almost certainly

[tiny prism]

Hasn't been announced

[rich tartan]

Itll probably be on steam since previous origin exclusives like garden warfare 2 have been put on it lately. But thats just my assumption, no official announcements yet

[covert kestrel]

🙏

[fringe halo]

Does rule 9 apply to emulation?

[covert kestrel]

apex is on steam and so are other games, I imagine itll be on both, probably a similar thing to apex where u link ur acc to ur steam account

[frail smelt]

Yes that's what I think so too

[timber oak]

Yes

[covert kestrel]

considering their trying to make it as easy as possible to connect with your friends and other people, that would be the best thing

[split wyvern]

Ehhhhhh, I don't think the f2p thing is gonna be that bad unless ea gets involved, I just hope that the in game currency isn't super hard to grind for.

Btw I heard a leak about skate 4

[rich tartan]

My main concern after all this f2p stuff is always online at this point. Ill still vibe and llay most likely with transactions, but not if i cant play when my internets out lol.

[tiny prism]

We don't talk about those

[frail smelt]

Tbh, Skate. going f2p isn't all that bad. If their goal is to gave wider range of accessibility, then it all makes sense. It's just that people are worried about it being MTX Heavy and it sucks if we ever see that happen.

[split wyvern]

It's apparently gonna be a wii u exclusive, and the name is gonna be changed to "skate. it 2"

[tiny prism]

Oh nvm kek

[split wyvern]

Yeah

[rich tartan]

Actually, its gonna be on the switch and its being rebranded as a new free update to nintendo switch sports

[timber oak]

alright this has been fun and all but when is skate 17 releasing

[tiny prism]

Check pins for the most recent pic

[rich tartan]

We gotta get to skate 3000 like dead space 3 predicted

[split wyvern]

Nah nah nah nah, that's lame compared to knack 4.

[timber oak]

can’t even make fifa jokes anymore

[frail smelt]

I've seen it, I know it's all cosmetics and convinience but come to think of it, cosmetics plays a big part of the game

[split wyvern]

Like music that changes based on what you're doing?

I don't have embed perms sorry kek

[timber oak]

virtual concerts would go nuts in skate I feel

[split wyvern]

That would be cool

[woven peak]

can't belive its free

[split wyvern]

Put it in #skate-ideas-archived

[rich tartan]

I feel like people are gonna go back to the prime of halo 3 custom games in lobbies. Creating classics like the trash compactor and fat kid in zones. Maybe thats just me tho

[split wyvern]

Hitting pop shuvits with creed

[timber oak]

yoooo 🤯

[split wyvern]

When is the creed flip gonna be created

[rich tartan]

Can we rename the mayo flip from skate 3 to the frank flip?

[split wyvern]

I want the miracle whip to be renamed to the creed flip

[rich tartan]

Miracle whip, thats it

[scenic gull]

better yet, make a whole new trick and call it the “frank”

[split wyvern]

Np

[split wyvern]

You gotta do a heelflip and a kickflip at the same time, the perfect trick

[rich tartan]

Kinda hope we get an old abandoned mall to hit up as a spot, those usually have some really nice ledges, rails, and fountains

[tiny prism]

That'd be awesome

[split wyvern]

Yo like thps 1 lol that would be the best, put it in #skate-ideas-archived

[rich tartan]

Have the food court be a smaller 2 story collab zone

[fickle yarrow]

Man, I hate to be a downer but I just cannot shake the feeling that Skate 4 is doomed with f2p

[split wyvern]

Ye

[rich tartan]

(Also we need to rename collab zones to collab slabs, alliteration)

[tiny prism]

I've got good news
Skate 4 doesnt exist

[tiny prism]

They're "collabo zones"

[split wyvern]

Remember, it's not made by ea it's made by full circle, so it probably won't be that bad

[rich tartan]

I still think collab slabs sounds better, but im not a dev

[sacred jasper]

the whole FTP issue will be forgiven by me if they add Coach Frank as someone you can date in the game

[fickle yarrow]

Either the campaign is gonna be half-assed, or progression will be so much of a crawl that you absolutely need to buy into the "convenience" they mentioned with the microtransactions

[tiny prism]

I don't think collab slabs sounds good I'm sorry

[split wyvern]

Hear me out, Collabo Slabs.

[deft forge]

lol

[timber oak]

collabozone definitely doesn’t roll off the tongue very well imo haha

[tiny prism]

You're worrying too much
Full circle's got this
Believe in your devs and give good feedback whenever you can

[rich tartan]

Thats fair, slabs are usually thought of with meat or something. So i get it

[split wyvern]

It kinda sounds like a new cheeseburger at McDonald's

[timber oak]

mcrib 🗿

[split wyvern]

M crib

[rich tartan]

Player plots maybe

[frail smelt]

F2P isn't gonna be all that bad, I promise you guys. There are a lot of games that live long with them being F2P. I think the issue will come with how they're gonna monetize it.

[hidden snow]

what’s better dominoes or little ceasers

[rich tartan]

Maybe im focusing on alliteration too much

[split wyvern]

My new rapper name: MC Rib

[tiny prism]

Depends on what you value more
Price or taste

[rich tartan]

Depends, do yoy want to save money or not eat carboard?

[timber oak]

price 👍

[tiny prism]

Price tbh

[timber oak]

little caesars all day

[scenic gull]

skate. Season 4 Battle Pass Spider-Man MCU Naruto Goku Collaboration 😱

[hidden snow]

i thought i was the only one that thought they taste like box 😭

[rich tartan]

Also i worked at dominos for 2 years, i can give advice

[tiny prism]

I'd choose little Caesars any day

[hidden snow]

what about pizza hut

[sacred jasper]

I am fine with F2P I am just incredibly worried what they are going to limit if we don’t pay for something

[hidden snow]

but anything then papa john cuz then shits are always soggy

[split wyvern]

Yo imagine if you owned your own house, and over time you could upgrade it to have a bigger customizable yard

[dull pilot]

Heelkick? Is this motorcross? LOL

[tiny prism]

Suck after they changed their crust a while ago

[rich tartan]

If you get dominos wings, ask for em well done or run through twice. Get way crispier skin

[hidden snow]

got you cuz ima order some after work

[split wyvern]

Lol the frankflip

[rich tartan]

Always check the deals and coupons too, save some serious cash that way.

[sacred jasper]

💗 💗 my beloved

[hidden snow]

yes ofc i usually buy the dinner box or whatever it is on pizza hut cuz it’s like 20$ for the box and 4 drinks

[split wyvern]

imma put something in skate ideas rq

[hidden snow]

what if you can buy some clothing on that game for real money and they send you real versions to u

[rich tartan]

I just realized i dont have permission to post in the ideas channel, odd

[timber oak]

click the button

[hidden snow]

just tell someone else so post it for u😎

[tiny prism]

You click the huge blue button

[rich tartan]

Bro

I should go to bed, how did i miss that button

[hidden snow]

it does the same to me

oh nvm

[split wyvern]

physical nfts, yoooo

[glossy grotto]

they said microtransactions are customizable options only

[hidden snow]

i swear if they have some value for some boards like csgo

[tiny prism]

I'm fully aware of what they said

[sacred jasper]

i believe in the devs and everything but this is the company EA we’re talking about

they will find a way to monetize something

[hidden snow]

didn’t someone said there’s a chance were skate 4 might go on vr

[tiny prism]

Not officially kek

Skate.* btw

[split wyvern]

skatefts

[split wyvern]

still gonna call it skate 4

[hidden snow]

nfskate

[hidden snow]

same

[glossy grotto]

i think we can all agree there's prob going to be something battle pass esque in the game of course so if anything they'll follow what apex did and no one complains about apex like that

[hidden snow]

let’s go i got paid

[split wyvern]

nononononononononononoonononoooono

[glossy grotto]

unless you're broke and you want to look cool and have beer cans trailing your skateboard or something loool

[timber oak]

I swear the bot’s gonna get an auto response just to yell IT’S JUST SKATE. at people

[sacred jasper]

i want the NPCS to have different weapons to beat you to death rather than using a tazer

[tiny prism]

Do it for real

[glossy grotto]

bruh

[split wyvern]

there needs to be a bot that just says "RULE 14" whenever someone says the word leak

[hidden snow]

let’s go i got paid

[timber oak]

good idea

[tiny prism]

Are you gonna tell us a third time I look forward to it

[scenic gull]

Kinda sad that Braddock wasn't included in the board room video that was just released in #game-announcements

[hidden snow]

nah ima order pizza soon

[rich tartan]

Just make a bot that posts the bonk sheeb whenever someone calls it skate 4 with "its skate." On the bat

[timber oak]

oh he was there on site

[solid void]

Here's a fun idea, scooter days. Once a month, all skateboards are forcibly replaced with scooters

[timber oak]

no video appearance though

[split wyvern]

i didnt see nik

[scenic gull]

Ah good to know... We need to get his appearance more tbh

[split wyvern]

where was nik, he has to be there to enforce rule 14 irl

[scenic gull]

He is the embodiment of the fans

[timber oak]

agreed, I’ll definitely be purchasing the Jeff skin using JeffBucks sometime this decade

[rich tartan]

Yall remember that old PS3 game Pain? Lets just add a giant slingshot to hall of meat to spice things up lol

[scenic gull]

Same 😎

[split wyvern]

wheres the creed skin that you can purchase using creed bucks

[tiny prism]

I didn't have to use my Jeff pass earlier today to watch the board room so I still have it
What should I use it on

[rich tartan]

I just realized

[exotic beacon]

whos deleting nic

[rich tartan]

Ea has the right to star wars games

[split wyvern]

nic go there and tell them about the leak i heard, the one where its gonna be a wii u exclusive.

[rich tartan]

Skate has the funny force pull when you summon your board

We need to fund this

[exotic beacon]

wow

free nic

[scenic gull]

4ee em

[split wyvern]

whoever is doing that is breaking rule 17 fr

[lethal notch]

Is one of the mods trolling me?

[covert kestrel]

if the game lacks singleplayer im moving to iceland

[viral solstice]

Images from the James Webb telescope are so cool 😂

[dull pilot]

DUDE. YES.

[split wyvern]

nebula is known to do a small amount of trolling from time to time

[glossy grotto]

oh nah single and offline play betterrrr be there

[tiny prism]

Braddock HUGE NERD confirmed

[covert kestrel]

fr, but its f2p. thats what concerning

[viral solstice]

I’m diving deep into videos about them lmao

[gaunt basin]

Aren’t we all

[lethal notch]

Or is it just not cool that I live 25 minutes from the full circle studio?

[split wyvern]

you can almost see the skate. release date in one of them if you look closely.

[dull pilot]

I've been nerd since the 80s, my friend.

[covert kestrel]

can we talk about how Braddock's pfp is like literally a mob boss

[sacred jasper]

[dull pilot]

It's actually a cartoon of a picture of me made by @vale anchor.

[tiny prism]

Braddock ORIGINAL NERD confirmed

[rich tartan]

Its probably just not good to talk about it hommie. Some weird stuff has happened when people show up to studios or creators places. Not good stuff usually

[covert kestrel]

still tho

[lethal notch]

I went to school a block away from it

[dull pilot]

To be fair, I was cosplaying as Wilson "Kingpin" Fisk, so the mob boss angle does work.

[lethal notch]

I've even asked jeff if i could come visit a few times

[covert kestrel]

heck yeah

[scenic gull]

Ahh quick thing I noticed while going through the video, so it's been announced that it will be free to play which personally with how gaming is going I don't like that since free to play just makes it seem like they're gonna be making their money of some subscription or add-on type thing kinda like buying a battlepass in a game, but after 5:06 the person says seasonal drops... soo

[nocturne wind]

I wouldn’t mind a battle pass

[scenic gull]

Ah they confirmed free to play

[twilit basin]

haven’t checked the server since this morning is this place still boiling hot

[nocturne wind]

As long as it doesn’t interfere with the base game idc

[split wyvern]

not as much

[covert kestrel]

woahhhhhh

[tiny prism]

It goes on and off

[weary plume]

They kinda teased it going to be f2p awhile ago. Surprised no one caught on

[sacred jasper]

skate Reddit is popping off

[split wyvern]

a lot of people did

[covert kestrel]

everyone did

[split wyvern]

just didnt wanna believe it lol

[weary plume]

then why was everyone shocked

[glossy grotto]

cause it happened

[rich tartan]

I mustve missed all the f2p signs lol

[tiny prism]

People hear f2p and instantly think the worst possible monetization scenario possible when there are tons of really good f2p games

[scenic gull]

Oh they brought up the topic I was talking about, there will be in-game purchases but they set ground rules

[fierce karma]

I have a huge deck who wants to ride it

[fringe halo]

Not really concerned about monetastion, just hope it doesn't compromise the games expirence

[glossy grotto]

i'll be honest i truly don't care as long as a storm could blow my connection out and i can still hit the streeeets

[tiny prism]

Post pics in #irl-skate-pics

[fierce karma]

Will do

[tiny prism]

Honestly fair

[scenic gull]

That's what I am trying to say

[tiny prism]

Check most recent pin image

[covert kestrel]

that's what I believe, but definitely understand the concern. how many f2p games do you know with a good singleplayer experience? it feels like its almost losing sight of what skate. was, but we have no real clue until it launches. I just wanna show my concern for this angle their coming from.

[sacred jasper]

F2P games that rarely has a ton of monetization (only for cosmetics and “personal” stuff), are the good ones, but it’s mostly how the theme of the game works

[peak marten]

skate battle royale

[twilit basin]

i mean i remember playing fortnite back in the day and having a great time with and i never spend a dollar on it, i think my opinion is skewing towards neutral at this point

[rich tartan]

Oh!

[sacred jasper]

Skate is about skating of course, but one of the main focuses is Customization, to which they will likely highly monetize that and limit to how creative you can be with your character

[scenic gull]

So now it's time to use our brains to come up with what those in-game purchases will be.

[rich tartan]

I have one of the decks from the pro skater 1+2 collectors edition. I totally forgot i have that from the move

[split wyvern]

thats awesome

[fringe halo]

Talking about the single players and offline expirience which hasn't been addressed yet

[split wyvern]

I'll give you $5 for it

[rich tartan]

N o

[scenic gull]

One quote I enjoyed was when he said "This will be a bigger than ever game for the fans"

[rich tartan]

My only other deck was one my dad had as a teen, its old as hell

[split wyvern]

even if I throw in a handshake?

[glossy grotto]

hairstyles for sure

brand contracts(prob) for a limited time

[rich tartan]

If theres gonna be so many players in a lobby we better be able to start a conga line

Every good game has conga capabilities

[glossy grotto]

clothing in general, tattooes maybe if they do something to where you can get animated tattooes or something

[rich tartan]

Tf2 and..... tf2....

[scenic gull]

Animated tattoos? What is that?

[peak marten]

Skate. x Supreme collab would be fire

[glossy grotto]

lot of stuff they could fit in those passes or microtransactions

[covert kestrel]

I mean look at games like Valorant. yes there's f2p customization, but it barely exists and its AGONIZING to obtain. and that's not even an EA title. Even if the base game is good, customization is gonna be totally monetized. Like, how can they give us a good base game and decent customization while still being free? this points me to the idea that f2p customization is either insanely limited, or there won't be a good singleplayer experience. I mean they said they're not locking any content or maps behind pay walls, so I can't imagine they'll lock singleplayer modes behind pay walls either, so it might not exist at all.

[lethal notch]

Aye long time no see man

[peak marten]

You can earn them normally like you used to

[glossy grotto]

i forgot about valorant

yeah they're free to play too and are a huge profit

and not compromising gameplay

[tiny prism]

Splitgate

[sacred jasper]

Yep, but like I said, it all depends on the “theme” of the game, skate is about skating and creating brands that fits your style. So it’s pretty much almost a given that they will monetize that choice to give yourself what you want

[glossy grotto]

league of legends

[rich tartan]

Yooo, i just realized a bomb rush cyberfunk collab would be super unlikely and incredibly rad

[vague geyser]

they heavily rely on skins tho ;-;

[sacred jasper]

But the games you’re mentioning right now, customization doesn’t entirely matter at all rather than just for the “show” of it

[glossy grotto]

true

[tiny prism]

Better than it being pay to win

[covert kestrel]

so if theres good f2p customization, can we expect a good singleplayer experience for free as well? if its locked behind a paywall I'm fine with that, but they said they're not locking any content behind paywalls thats not customization, so I'm concerned that it wont be included at all.

[vague geyser]

i rlly hope they do it well, i have lots of faith

[glossy grotto]

i mean they also have you pay to increase inventory space and what not for loadout builds

[covert kestrel]

exactly, and its such an important part as well

[tranquil sage]

I had a thought about the Microtransactions mostly being custom boards or clothes

[sacred jasper]

Exactly

[tranquil sage]

And you'd also be able to just grind for em 😼

Pun accidentally intended

[rich tartan]

Look at super animal royale, its a BR but customization is a major part of the gameplay loop. Its f2p, and monotized as well. But its not super heavy handed. So i have some hope

[peak marten]

The game already looks really good. I don't think its going to flop. Skate. on top.

[glossy grotto]

they'll prob host live skate contests and what not, i wonder how the rewards for those will work out

[tranquil sage]

What if the community gets to actually not just make custom clothes and boards. But also choose the price? ;o

[split wyvern]

it definitely wont flop lol

[split wyvern]

imagine if there were creed live concerts

[dull pilot]

Why don't you make a thread in #skate-ideas-archived and tell us what you would do if you ran contests? Would love to see your thoughts.

[tiny prism]

I got faith in full circle

Ain't no way this failin

[glossy grotto]

ayoooo they could def do live concerts too and host skate jams during em

indie artists or dj's would prob hop on board whenever they happen

[tranquil sage]

They even got some of the chads who helped make the og Skate Trilogy so we should be pretty rockin

[split wyvern]

put this in #skate-ideas-archived although it needs to be ingame currency only and also have a max price lol

[fierce karma]

skate contests are all subjective

[vague stirrup]

The community will make it free

[fierce karma]

It’s like saying who had the best painting, all opinion

Now you could judge technicality and difficulty of a trick but kind of hard to do that in a skate game. At that point I’d be judging lines, as in the flow and how clean it looks

[covert kestrel]

but whats stopping other people from just making that same design themselves?

[glossy grotto]

prob won't be able to choose price they'll prob HAVE to adjust based on environmental economic data or they're own numbers to keep a profit going

[tranquil sage]

You could sue em 😼

By sending your skater lawyers after em

[vague stirrup]

Shiver my timber’s

[vale anchor]

Good timing for today eh?

[covert kestrel]

[glossy grotto]

coach with long hair

[sacred jasper]

Custom boards that everyone can see is (probably) a horrible idea considering the community is most likely filled with edgelords

[gaunt wadi]

whats yalls honest opinion on skate. being f2p

[fierce karma]

Braddock is the don corleone of the server confirmed

[glossy grotto]

i'm down for it

[tiny prism]

Exciting, happy to hear it

[tranquil sage]

They could prob have a setting to stop nasty custom boards

[shell eagle]

I just feel like they’re going to make Skate another Fortnite

[sacred jasper]

?

[glossy grotto]

that'd be a good thing tbh

[tranquil sage]

A Filtter

[tiny prism]

☑ Show custom player boards

[shell eagle]

I just want them to make skate 4 and go Back to the way things were to make a good storyline and a good campaign

[gaunt wadi]

i think its not awful if they do wht they say they gonna do

[glossy grotto]

skate version of fortnite, would never die

[tranquil sage]

That you can customize Like that ^

[glossy grotto]

imagine all the promoooooo

[shell eagle]

But it would be horrible and it would just be garbage

[gaunt wadi]

if they go a tf2 route i can see the game lasting for years

[solid void]

from a personal level, not worried about it. I play a good few f2p games and it'll be cool to see skate get consistent support like this

[tranquil sage]

I'd be down to see a Skate Porter Robinson concert ngl

[shell eagle]

I feel like this new skate game is EA just trying to throw something at the community to shut them up

[glossy grotto]

???? fortnite is top game rn wdym

[fierce karma]

image filters don’t work, just rely on a player base report system for offensive custom graphics or don’t put them in the game at all

[sacred jasper]

Customization for your own personal avatar but definitely not in the market to give out for free

[shell eagle]

I understand that but it also is not an enjoyable game

[covert kestrel]

ayo skate. + portal?

[fierce karma]

Been done on another game

[shell eagle]

There’s things we’ve come to expect from Skate and I feel like making it free to play and having no campaign is ruining it

[tiny prism]

You'd realize you're dead wrong if you followed development closely and interacted with the team when they talk here (mostly Braddock though)

[pearl gulch]

ah jeez 3.3k dislikes on board video

[tranquil sage]

Also. What if eventually you'd also be able to hire guards for your skate HQ? ;o

[pearl gulch]

i hope their watching the reception lol

[glossy grotto]

??? that sounds like a personal opinion but, they also never said there wouldn't be a campaign

[gaunt wadi]

i have a xbox with skate 3 if the game is that bad ill just play skat 3

[shell eagle]

I understand they’re putting in effort but making it free to play just overall lower the quality of the game

[gaunt wadi]

honestly tho skate being ftp isnt the worlds worst thing

[timber oak]

Dislike extensions are not very accurate

[solid void]

never really cared especially for skate campaign modes. some of the cutscenes are fun but as long as we have any kind of solo mode I'll be good

[pearl gulch]

yeah i didn't wait a decade for that lol

[pearl gulch]

hope thats ironic :p

[tranquil sage]

As long as we got a fun opening intro i'll be happy lol

[gaunt wadi]

and a bangin soundtrack

[tranquil sage]

Ye

[glossy grotto]

in what sense is the quality being lowered? i'd like to know how anything their doing isn't innovative for the ftp genre

[gaunt wadi]

ea needs to step they soundtrack game up

[timber oak]

why would it be ironic? youtube doesn’t allow it to fetch the actual data anymore

[fierce karma]

removing the dislike button from view was the worst thing that YouTube ever did. Even worse than demonetizing cuss words

[tiny prism]

The issue here is you don't know that
Skate isn't done

[covert kestrel]

bruh, what game

[solid void]

yeah, a new live action intro would really set the tone nicely

[tranquil sage]

Maybe if concerts become a thing for the game you could stream their songs in game ;o

[gaunt wadi]

even nfs soundtracks have been awful lately

[sacred jasper]

i Need the developers to bring back Coach Frank as a option to date him in the game and do sick tricks together ☺️

[gaunt wadi]

payback was bangin tbh]

[tiny prism]

Skate. Coach Frank dating Sim when

[glossy grotto]

i really think coach frank will be the tutorial coach and playable too maybe

[gaunt wadi]

ngl skate 3 soundtrack = garbage

[covert kestrel]

dang

[tiny prism]

👀

[fierce karma]

yeah it’s sick, I love it

[solid void]

skate 1 soundtrack went harder

[gaunt wadi]

thugpro is lit

[pearl gulch]

thps1 soundtrack peak skateboarding soundtrack

[split wyvern]

nah you bouta get banned

[tranquil sage]

I personally loved skate 2 and some of skate 3's songs 😼

[glossy grotto]

instead of thps1+2 i wish they did underground

[gaunt wadi]

i mean shimmy ya is a banger but other than that

[split wyvern]

gonna get the skate hitmen called on you

[glossy grotto]

favorite game

[rich tartan]

Skate 3 had some solid tracks but since im more of a punk guy id say its the weakest

[pearl gulch]

SSX3 has straight up the best sports soundtrack

[shell eagle]

I get that but at the same time but they were revealed is most likely where the game is going to go

[fierce karma]

skate used a ton of THPS songs from previous games

like Sex Pistols and NWA

[rich tartan]

It doesnt have superman by goldfinger or bring the noise

[gaunt wadi]

exactly thps songs are banger
i also say other ea games soundtracks would work

[solid void]

no black flag no buy

[tiny prism]

They revealed they weren't locking gameplay related things behind a pay wall and you consider this bad?

[fierce karma]

Skate 3 had the best song ever though, goodbye horses is the best song in the world

[gaunt wadi]

what about prostreet

[covert kestrel]

not garbage but definitely worse than the earlier games

[fierce karma]

Clerks anyone?

[tiny prism]

I said it earlier but I could never understand that point of view

[rich tartan]

Real talk, if pup (the band ) hasnt been suggested for the sounstrack im boutta add em

[gaunt wadi]

good movie

[fierce karma]

Goooooodbye horsesssss

I’m crying over youuuuuu,goodbye horsessss

[solid void]

need some Pup, Jeff Rosenstock, Prince Daddy

[gaunt wadi]

goodbye horses is good

[fierce karma]

Bring it back for skate 3

[split wyvern]

i want to be able to add my own songs to the game, kinda like gta v on pc

[glossy grotto]

imagine there are skating pedestrians and non skating pedestrians that interact different like we can challenge the skaters to games

[fierce karma]

Just use spotify

[sacred jasper]

Use Spotify

[gaunt wadi]

anyone wanna listen to music in vc and chill

[rich tartan]

I have ska dream on vinyl, jeff and pup are so good. Also streetlight manifesto would be rad

[split wyvern]

true but it would still be a nice feature

[tranquil sage]

I could picture some of the skater Pedestrians smacking the regular npcs lol

[gaunt wadi]

whats the best nfs soundtrack in yalls opinion

[tiny prism]

Yeah I never understood the huge worry about skate.'s soundtrack when you can just toss on Spotify or whatever you use for music

[tiny prism]

Underground 2

[tranquil sage]

^^

[split wyvern]

i thought you said nft soundtrack i was gonna say

[glossy grotto]

forza 4's soundtrack is goated

[gaunt wadi]

underground 1 was better tho
but yeah its good

[tranquil sage]

Burnout Paradise's ost is one of my favs 👌

[glossy grotto]

[gaunt wadi]

[tiny prism]

Midnight club 3 dub edition >>>

[gaunt wadi]

[glossy grotto]

i need to slap dubs on an escalade

[gaunt wadi]

[rich tartan]

Jet set radio future's music is iconic too. But its not licensed so i dont think it counts for this

[gaunt wadi]

humming the baseline intensifies

[fierce karma]

Get jet set ratiod

[tranquil sage]

Here's another fun question for you guys

[gaunt wadi]

lmfao

[tranquil sage]

[glossy grotto]

[fierce karma]

Bored ape is literally nazis please don’t have a nazi reference in the game I won’t install it

[gaunt wadi]

[fierce karma]

[tiny prism]

[proper sage]

😂😂😂😂

[gaunt wadi]

yall remember when EA staged a protest for dantes inferno

[rich tartan]

How would yall feel about the pool draining and stopper removal services coming back for skate.? Personally i really liked how they changed how you used a space as you progressed through the game

[split wyvern]

i would like it

[glossy grotto]

damn

[fierce karma]

Dante’s inferno is excellent. So is Dante’s paradiso

[glossy grotto]

i'd mess with that, that was cool aslllll when it was done in skate 2

[sacred jasper]

more combat mechanics with your skateboard in the new game

[fierce karma]

Yes I want to shoot a skateboard gun

[sacred jasper]

batista bomb Someone with the edge of your board

[glossy grotto]

you just want to be a skateboard samurai

[tranquil sage]

Maybe let us use the left stick to postion the board

For the perfect board to head smash 😼

[glossy grotto]

sheathing the board

[gaunt wadi]

as backwards as it sounds i think ea isnt the worst cash grabbing company rn

[fierce karma]

can I shoot wheels out of a skateboard like a gun?

[rich tartan]

Lets just make skate into a new addition to the enter the gungeon franchise

[gaunt wadi]

hell rockstar is doing worse things than ea

[rich tartan]

You do rad tricks to clear rooms of enemies

[gaunt wadi]

i wanna be able to hit people with my skateboard fo sho

[glossy grotto]

yeah they're not releasing bully 2, absolute scoundrels

[gaunt wadi]

no new midnight club

[sacred jasper]

gradually, we’re shifting towards a Skate BR where you either have to gain enough momentum to ram through your enemies or slam your skateboards to win

[fierce karma]

I want to drop my skateboard from the top of a building and watch it fall onto another player and crush them

[split wyvern]

i want bully 2 so bad

[gaunt wadi]

milking gta online for years

9 years to b exact

[fierce karma]

Bully 2 was scrapped

[timber oak]

[sacred jasper]

Is the new game going to have like, a creative mode where you can make your own maps?

[split wyvern]

ik but still

[fierce karma]

Agreed, where is my skateboard gun

[split wyvern]

ive already suggested it

[fierce karma]

I need skateboard combat

[sacred jasper]

more combat options

[glossy grotto]

imagine they're waiting on another skating game to drop before they drop bully 2 to snatch a couple a scripters/animators

[split wyvern]

they didnt like it

[timber oak]

#off-topic

[tiny prism]

Collabozones exist for creating stuff
I don't know if you're gonna have your own personal park, they might have mentioned it somewhere

[gentle cypress]

skate. and bully 2 are the only games i want

[gaunt wadi]

i love dirty harry gorillaz
i just vibin

and allowed it to be published

[sacred jasper]

It would definitely be more fun seeing how people create their own mini game modes in skate, such as a a legit BR or most likely such funky stuff

[split wyvern]

it was made by grovestreet games, and published by rockstar. btw #off-topic

[timber oak]

#off-topic

[split wyvern]

beat you to it lol

[tiny prism]

Yeah that'd be cool

[fierce karma]

Can we get jet packs zip lines and grapple gun for skateboard game?

[tiny prism]

You sure didn't he told you to go a bit ago

[tranquil sage]

I just had song that would be cool for skate 4 ;o

Can I skate as the heavy from TF2?

[tranquil sage]

Faith Board 👀

[glossy grotto]

[weary plume]

I also want skateboards with missiles like an oppressor in gta

[fierce karma]

Yes

[glossy grotto]

ya'll wilding 💀

[scenic gull]

paintball guns would be cool actually

[solid void]

the microtransactions should let me force my music into the speakers of other players when i beat them in a 1v1

[rich tartan]

Considering theres a hoverboard in the new saints row why not have a crossover with that lol

[glossy grotto]

take off the black air forces

[solid void]

i wear target shoes

[fierce karma]

can we get a trick in the game where it’s like an endless shuvit trick but instead of landing it we just fly? Like the board acts as helicopter propellers?

[scenic gull]

challenges where you do vert tricks and a bunch of your friends try to shoot paintballs at you to get you to fall

[glossy grotto]

you're already past the point of no return i see

[solid void]

this is over my head but I'm comfortable

[vocal bridge]

Bro I want this emoji as a skin in skate 3 so bad

[fierce karma]

Can this game be realistic like if we fall we can get hurt and we will have to get our friends to pick us up and take us to the hospital and then recover in real time? And then relearn how to skate from scratch again?

[scenic gull]

film for a while, yeah

[cyan yacht]

Imagine breaking a leg and having to wait 4 months to play again 💀

[fierce karma]

Yes that’s what I want

[scenic gull]

lmaoo perma banned if you slam too hard

[rocky mulch]

Eh, I’m sorry to say this but I kinda wouldn’t like this idea

[solid void]

i want the new skate to have realistic carnival scenarios

[cyan yacht]

If you break your skull you get you game deleted lol

[fierce karma]

I want to dress up as a clown in a gown please

And then break my wrists skating and have to wear a cast

[solid void]

[cyan yacht]

All I want is my board to snap if I do a big drop, would look sick on film

[scenic gull]

i want to be able to judo kick npcs like in 3

[fierce karma]

I hope they do

[south kite]

Honestly I’m disappointed after seeing the board room i don’t think they are gonna have a story mode it’s probably just gonna be a sandbox

[fierce karma]

yeah

so make it like fortnite and DarkRP mixed

[solid void]

yeah but you can break your wrists in this one

[fierce karma]

can I get rockets attached to my skateboard? I want to fly

[hollow python]

I honestly wouldn’t mind it not having a story but i would rather it have one

[rocky mulch]

Yeah

[fierce karma]

story mode? More like boring mode, I’m snoozing already

[hollow python]

But please for all that is holy bring back our god Coach Frank

[vivid vessel]

that dont bother me too much i just dont want them pulling the plug a year after release

[solid void]

coach frank will be santa claus in all future christmas events

[fierce karma]

[hollow python]

I could see that

[cyan yacht]

Exactly what happened with 3

[rich tartan]

Sounds like a new mode for hall of meat. Youre hired

[glossy grotto]
