Skate 4 needs better optimization, Hall of Meat, and real skate culture vibe

Greetings to the development team and everyone involved in creating the new Skate.

I’d like to share my impressions.

The game is excellent — it’s a breath of fresh air and truly something new in the gaming industry in recent years. I’ve been waiting for the release for a long time, and the result is a project with huge potential. But unfortunately, there are several “buts” that really get in the way of fully enjoying the experience.

Technical Performance

The biggest issues right now are optimization and server stability.

There are frequent disconnects due to server overload, as well as regular crashes. Almost every play session ends with the game freezing or shutting down. It completely breaks the flow, especially when you’re in the zone and skating for fun.

I really hope this is a top priority for upcoming patches.

Hall of Meat

Where is it?

It’s one of the key trademarks of the Skate series — the brutality, the ragdoll moments, the X-ray bone breaks, the fracture counter. Sometimes I used to launch the old games just to mess around with Hall of Meat.

Yes, you’ve added fall challenges and acrobatic tricks — they’re funny, but they feel more like Saints Row than Skate. It’s fun, but not the same. I’d love to see more grit and realism — the old-school hardcore vibe.

Content and Brands

When I first saw Thrasher in the game, I was hyped.

But then I realized the actual content from the brand is minimal: a white cap, a pink cropped T-shirt, and a grip tape with the flame logo.

Where’s the iconic Thrasher Flame Hoodie? That’s a classic!

Same with Dime — I only found two T-shirts, one black and one white.

However, Vans is implemented perfectly — huge respect for that.

I’d really love to see more real streetwear brands in future updates: Supreme, Stüssy, Palace, **bleep**ing Awesome, Obey, Ripndip, Carhartt, and so on.

Clothing and Customization

Honestly, the content in the Season Pass feels weak.

Leather jackets, ripped skinny jeans, a bird costume, random shoes, and a bunch of filler items…

Who is this made for? Kids? Or the players who actually live and breathe skate culture?

Please don’t turn the game into Fortnite.

I’m really asking for:

Real accessories (watches, bracelets, chains, backpacks, piercings, etc.)

Wear and tear on clothes and boards (scratches, scuffs, dirt)

Bruises and injuries after hard falls

These would add depth and realism — especially when doing hardcore challenges.

Gameplay and Missions

I completed all current missions pretty quickly.
