My Skate experience and what I hope to see on the full release
I got to play the Early Access, and I'll say it was good, the map was pretty good, here what I hope they can include and couple of issues they can fix:
- No Story Mode: the game didn't really feel like it had a main story mode, I was expecting a glimpse of what type of story we would have gotten, so far, it was just challenges, Maybe a strong story mix with stunts, now speaking of challenges, I did like the Bearings missions, I just was wondering, it would of been much better to have had like 3 type of missions for those, like color coded, blue which was the default color, where you could not get off your skateboard, how about a red one, where it involves you doing parkcore, mostly taking place on top of the buildings. and the mission symbol can be a red circle like the blue bearings, but it is put on some buildings that are accessible thru climbing. and I just didn't really enjoy how all the symbols of the missions where the same diamonds, orange color, the only thing different, was the symbols, which made those missions not stand out, I think what would differentiate the missions, is if they color code the missions, get rid of the diamond shape. make each mission feel like its own. and not having the skaters show in the cutscenes when they were explaining the objective, was not as interesting as the other skate games, because it felt empty, not having a skater approach you, to explain the missions to you, that also pertains to how the film missions felt not as good as the other skate game, I was wondering if i as bale to change the background, after i did a trick, or blue the background like the old games, but it was not what I expect it, hope it goes back to what it was.
- The speed at times would go when my skater would pick up speed thru a downhill road, but most of the time, my skater speed was slow, had trouble picking up speed to do an ollie, Would I would like is a stamina system, but there is a catch, where, if you decide to get off your skateboard to climb up some stairs, you deplete yours stamina, which interferes with your ability to increase your stamina, also how nice would it be to be able to lose your Skateboard, and when you check the map you can see where you left it, it shows on the map, so it makes it harder to obtain your skateboard whenever you decide to get off your board.
- Have the anatomy be brought back, but if you fall you get your bones broken, not sure why there was no bones broken, it adds more realism to the skate franchise, maybe add some more mission like that, just like hall of meat, but it's the opposite, where if you get hurt from falling of a flight of stairs, you lose the mission, the more you get hurt with doing that mission, you aren't allowed to do that mission until you fully recover.
- Accessibility: As I played the early access, I spotted a mall, but you could not go in it, why not have an accessible mall where you can skateboard,, it can even be an abandon mall where in order for you to get in it, you have to try your climbing skills and find a hole to get inside of, that be sweet to be able to skateboard an abandon Mall, where you encounter a person who wants you to get to do an insane mission, that involves not getting caught, also a water park be lit, but just for this game, can we have the skater be able to walk in water waist deep, and if he is in the water, he can't utilize his board, until he is out of the water, that way he be able to skate around water, obviously off the skateboard, because that would ruin the skateboard.
- Weather: this one is just optional, but it be neat to have rain in the game, since water weakens the skateboard, so whenever it rains, you aren't allowed to be out and skating, so you have to take shelter, somewhere where it either sewers, or an indoor area, that be a neat touch for the game
thanks for letting us give you guys feedback and an early access, I really enjoyed your guys game.
