Some thoughts

Bring back darkslides/flips. Add a bulk buy option for the boxes (tired of seeing congratulations every time I open one). Add more music choices like we had in Skate 3 (rap/rock). Tattoos/piercings for character customization would be incredible. I don't see how we got vitiligo and freckles before ink and body mods.

I was hesitant about this game knowing it would be a stark contrast from previous titles. Thankfully the framework is still there, and it's actually very enjoyable, but could use a bit more work to give it the right vibe. The AI/skater vision seems repetitive as well as the challenges - though I understand it is still early access. Maybe we could get a community overworld event every x hours that rewards us with in game currency or special gear.

Overall I'm so glad this series is being revived. There's a lot that's being done right; the lobby is seamless as far as being able to party up and freeskate, or spectate a random and then be able to fast travel to them to shred a spot together. I've had little to no bugs so far, just small tweaks that I think would help it get back to its roots. 9/10 enjoyability so far and I can't wait to see what's in store for this game in the near future.
