To EA, potential features
As of writing this, I have around 22 hours on the game, and I am loving it. There are bugs that make me have to restart the game to fix, which I'm really not too bothered with but still. Regardless, I have been playing with one of my friends and there is a couple things that we have discussed that could be interesting to implement.
- S.K.A.T.E throwdown feature / alternate gamemodes. Playing a game of S.K.A.T.E would be really cool. Being able to see the tricks that they do, and then you have to copy or you get a letter. That would really push the need to get good at certain elements like particular flip tricks or sequences.
- Hall of Meat features. Everyone has been saying this, but it would still be cool to see.
- Coach Frank. Please bring Jason Lee back into the picture considering you have brought back familiar characters like Slappy and Shingo. Maybe for the next area that is in development, you could make him a central character to that area.
- Missions with slightly different objectives. Slappy's mission in which you need to clean up bags of rubbish is a really cool mission, and would be interesting to see different variations.
- Community challenges. These don't necessaryily need to give rep or currency, just might give those people who want to make challenges possible for other people to complete. Maybe with the requirement that they ned to complete their own challenge before it can be uploaded.
- Seperate smaller servers. Whilst I love the mechanic of being able to skate with randoms around San Van, sometimes it seems as though it lags the game server trying to work around everyone currently in the server as they do their own thing.
- Underground, subway type parks. Some of my favourite places to skate is in really niche tunnel subway like parks. Might be an interesting idea to make some underground sections. Maybe something like a quarry/mine, an abandoned subway, stuff like that.
- Graffiti. Obviously giving players the chance to graffiti may not be the best idea, but more around the parks would be nice to see. If the player gets the chance to do their own, maybe give them sprays like in other games (fortnite, overwatch, etc) to give that feel. Maybe even stickers to slap on places, like the "My Name is..." stickers. Enabling players to go around and slap stickers or sprays around the map whilst they are in the server, then resetting when they leave, would be cool. The more freedom, the better, but obviously that would come with issues.
- Collectables. Having stuff around the map to be collected would make the want for exploration even higher. Collectables being like the history of San Van, newspaper clippings of certain areas (like a headline or front page article of Gullcrest for example), or even music, in the forms of cds, vinyls, cassettes, that is only able to be played after having it collected. Adding more songs, more variety, and more insentive to look for stuff.
These are just a few of the ideas we had discussed. Use this however you would like, but these could be some really cool features to add later down the line.
Thanks
