My General Thoughts and Feedback/Suggestions
I've been really enjoying playing skate so far. My flatmates and I all grew up on Skate 3, and we're all loving playing online together. I think the gameplay is super solid, the physics are cool, and diving off of buildings with your friends is insanely fun.
That being said I definitely have some issues, and think there are a few things that could be done better/added in later iterations of the game.
1. The Map
While I do like the map, and really enjoy a lot of the spots, it's too small and all far too similar. It doesn't feel like there's much variety as its all just one little city. It's just not big enough, and fast travel feels very redundant since it takes only 5 minutes (i timed it) to skate around the entire map. I'd love to see an industrial or more suburban area added to the game in the future.
2. The Characters
Not the biggest issue, but Vee is annoying, and the other characters like Slappy and Izzy are just quite cringe. Massive downgrade from Coach Frank.
3. The Challenges
If daily challenges are going to be a thing it'd be nice to have some more variety in the challenges, as at the moment they are all just recycled over and over again. I think this game could really benefit from some skate 3 style challenges like the magazine cover photoshoots.
4. The Radio
Honestly the music system is just kind of unnecessarily confusing. Its not the worst but I think it could be refined a bit, into more of a GTA V style radio selection maybe.
Like I said, really been enjoying the gameplay so far and keen to see it progress further.
