>hype in 2024 for skate
No
Wake Me when a hoverboard game comes out
>zoomers don't know about the PS2 Tony hawk hover board game
Lol
Lmao
That was way after Tony hawk's popularity had fadded and they tried to make a come back by cashing in on the guitar hero peripheral controller craze
Pic rel is the hover board game
I am. I don't care how israeliteed up the game is, I enjoy the basic mechanics of skate. There's really nothing they could do to ruin it for me
Haha, this fricker thinks he knows EA but he doesn't.
>Basis mechanics of skate
Play the old ones friend
>this is going to flop
Nah I don't think so. I have no hype for it but the skate series has a WEIRDLY dedicated fanbase and ontop of that a skateboarding game doesn't cost that much in terms of development. It will probably have shit player numbers and twitch views like you zoomers obsess over but I'd say it will make the company a quick buck or so.
This. Low cost project for a niche but hungry fanbase. It's not gonna top the player charts but it's gonna make a serviceable bit of change for EA (least I think EA own the skate rights?) Problem with vee is everyone here think every single game costs 500 million to make and and needs to sell at least 6 million to even break even. As someone who's been in this god awful industry for 20 years you couldn't be further from the truth.
>there's a skate video game called skate?
Are you 12? Or did you just start playing vidya a week ago? Not even a fan of skate but when these games launched it was impossible to go through any form of social media without a injury compilation video of one of the games popping up. Hell I seen one pop up on youtube for the first game a week or two ago, submitted a 6 months ago and had 300k views.
We only play FIFA here
>FIFA
Whats that?
It's free to play live service shit. They'll sell some skins but I can't imagine most of the playerbase staying around very long
I've been doing that for a decade now, that's why I'm looking forward to 4. Skate 3 in particular is my "dick around aimlessly for 15 minutes" comfort game
>it's live service
Jesus christ never mind then I take back what I said.
There’s a skate videogame franchise called “Skate”?
That’s like naming a fighting game “Fighting” or a shooter game “Shooter”.
In fact that’s illegal in many countries. You’re not allowed to open a bakery called “Bakery”, a shoe store called “Shoe Store”, etc.
I dunno. This game looks cool though.
https://store.steampowered.com/app/1295630/Helskate/
It's early access which means I won't buy it until it's out but I'll put it on the wishlist.
I'm going to look like a shill for posting these but it seriously looks like a neat game.
the only way they can generate hype for a skateboarding game is to announce a THUG remake. Anything short of that will be met with yawns and indifference.
im in the closed play test at the minute, it's really bad, feels like THPS
Same.
Currently in the play test for PC and phone. It's in a very rough state, especially the phone version which turns my phone into a players space heater. The core gameplay is extremely buggy and the tricks don't even work well. It's got another 2 years of dev time at least.
I also don't think it's skate 4 and the devs know that. That's why it's just going to be called "skate". It's a spin off game as far as I'm concerned. It'll be decent as something to pick up for 30 min here and there, do some challenges, but I doubt it'll connect with what the OG trilogy fanboys want. It has no soul at the moment. Also the art style is extremely terrible.
I will say, seeing a bunch of other around in the world is really neat and I hope they add proximity voice chat.
It'll probably be a success from a few skate fanboy whales, but it's definitely going to fizzle out a few months post-release.
wtf took them so long? I don't think people are even interested anymore in a skate 4. The audiences that wished for skate 4 no longer care and are full-grown adults with better things to do and play
Skate is old news. Its all about Session now.
Once they finally upgrade to UE5 we might get some actual fricking updates.
>still no vert
It's not like I regret buying it because I got hundreds of hours out of it that I enjoyed.
But didn't expect it to fizzle out like this.
Supposedly this year is going to be a big year for them.
Hard to believe them though with how many times they've fallen through previously. But yeah like you said still manages to be one my favorite games.
Also why is ribsman a Black person now?
They're too busy milking their unfinished game with terrible DLC to do that.
I wish Session didn't shit the bed
>2 years since """""release"""""
>still buggy as hell
>keep making dlcs instead of fixing the problems
>also decide to move everything to UE5 for some fricking reason
I blame it on Nacon. Fricking scammers i swear.
I blamed them too but Robocop Rogue City turned out totally fine so I think it's just the dev's fault
Same thing with Skate Xl truly skaters were gays
Session is the biggest disappointment game of all time for me. I'm so tired of these random one off DLC maps that are randomly priced. I hate when games get so fragmented and have shitty ambiguous DLC packs all being a different price, different assortment of features, different amount of stuff.
Session: Skate Sim Brandalised® Pack
>$4.99
>4 shirts, 4 sweatshirts, 8 decks
Session: Skate Sim Supporter Pack
>$14.99
>Péitruss map, Hangar map
>Prisoner outfit, grip tapes
Session: Skate Sim Waterpark & Chris Cole
>$12.99
>Waterpark map
>Chris Cole
>7 missions, 5 decks, 6 dropper items
Session: Skate Sim Abandoned Mall
>$7.99
>Abandoned Mall map
>38 dropper items
Session: Skate Sim - Year 1 Pack
>$29.99
>Supporter Pack DLC, Brandalised DLC, Waterpark & Chris Cole DLC, Abandoned Mall DLC
This isn't a steam bundle. It's a seperate DLC. They will let you buy this even if you purchased the separate items already. Also the random hyphen looks stupid.
Session: Skate Sim Schoolyard
>$7.99
>Schoolyard map
>6 dropper items
How confusing is that for a new player? It's obvious they're only trying to milk existing players as much as possible because they've exhausted an audience for this game. They aren't trying to get any new players on board. Just give people the dropper items for free and make a couple $5 DLC maps. Why are random dropper items locked behind random DLCs? Also I hate teleporting around and how fragmented the world is. I was really hoping this game would be 1 big map that connected in a way that made sense.
It's also really suspicious that they can't find an animator. What's going on internally that the only time in the last 2 years they finally snagged an animator, he left after like a month?
>load skate 4
>immediately greeted by a racism disclaimer and how the team behind it has their diversity quota fulfilled
>hear garbage rap music as you see a flashy menu with a hideous color pallete
>start new game after you agree to the terms and conditions since the game is online only
>start with long cutscene you can't skip
>see dorky white kids with helmets skating around until a dread head rasta black effortlessly rides in with exaggerated swagger
>everyone stops and turns to look and admire this godlike figure
>cue some feel good diversity interactions to shitty mellow r&b
>press a button remember you can't skip
>finally get to character creator
>default character looks like the most favela monkey you can come up with
I mean should I bother going on
You should stop before you start jizzing over yourself thinking about black men
It leaked online where you can play it it was really rough for bored of it. I don't think EA Ubisoft or Nintendo are capable of making good games anymore
Is there a bigger lie in gaming than “coming soon”?
i will play it when it comes out, hope its not shit but i'm sure it will be, especially since its gonna be F2P bullshit
The game is going to be poorly received but will still bring in revenue from microtransactions with cosmetics and skate parts.
That's all that matters to EA.
At the end of the day, skateboarding games are all about repping your favorite brands. Been that way since Top Skater.
Being real for a minute, skaters aren't the smartest bunch. They will spend top dollar on MTX in Skate 4 if there are rare SB Dunks or Supreme collabs that can be equipped on their character.
Anyone with half a brain knows they can mod Skater XL and Session to include these items.
I downloaded all the golden era shoe mods in XL. It's always been a dream of mine to skate in shoes I couldn't afford as a kid, like the Muska CM901's.
Holy shit skaters are such goycattle I'm surprised it took them this long to make a live service skate game
Maybe zoomer skaters who only ride Nike or Adidas. But the old heads have fought to keep corporate simping and mindless consumerism out of skateboarding for quite some time.
Too bad it all failed since corporate giants swept in and supported skate shops while the core companies sold out to wholesale retailers.
For me it was Vans
Throw in a tech deck finger boarding mini game and they'll make millions in micro transactions
I won't pay full price for it, but if it drops to under £20 and is on PC and isn't riddled with microtransaction and online f2p esque mechanics I'll buy it I used to skate myself loved Skate and Skate 2 on ps3 but since my PS died I've not been able to play it so would jump to be able to play on pc.
I have some good news and some bad news for you, anon
How bad can they frick up a Skate game with f2p penny pinching, really? Selling tricks? Boards with stats? A Facebook stamina system on the Hall of Meat?
