Lip tricks and drop ins on ramps and more
Hello Skate Team,
I've played the entire Skate franchise and greatly appreciate the strong effort to continue the series. I think the street skating is pretty smooth and gets me in the zone. I love the climbing!!! My main issues involve the art of ramp skating. I want Skate to be the first game to zone in on lip tricks. I do see that there have been improvements with getting on the rail with stalling and grinding. The biggest issue is dropping in straight. When I try to drop in the board wants to shift sideways. It kills the smoothness and speed and is something worth fixing,,, PLEASE🥺 Another big issue is how often I fly far into the air when approaching the top of a ramp, please look at this. I would absolutely love for Skate to be the 1st game in history to develop a solid lip trick system. I want smooth looking rock n rolls and rock fakies where the board flops flat on the ramp deck with the rear trucks hugging the coping and stall. When you're ready lift the deck and rotate back in smoothly or fakie in with some speed. Axle stalls are getting there but need smoother drop ins also. Also I like the realistic wood ramps and you guys could add some realistic black rail coping, that would be buttery. There is an art to lip tricks and versatility is key. The camera on ramps shifts too quickly behind or above looking down when you're coming back in from a grind, lip trick or air. I have loose camera settings but it still shifts to quickly and makes the flow feel choppy. When in the air or one the rail grinding I think the camera should be floating alongside your skater to better focus on the board for trick effect. Skate 3 feels smoother in this regard. Also, hand plants. I wish you could push R1 with a any direction on a stick to do different style hand plants. Character creation could be a little more realistic. Finally, I do hope that there will be multiple skate parks that can be created in the final release and if the map is bigger that wouldn't break my heart. It looks like certain bridges may lead to other places. You could also recreate past Skate cities and new cities as DLC add ons. Take a bus, train or plane with a quick load screen. Sorry for making this so long and this is all constructive feedback that I'm giving as a Skate fan from the start.
Thanks so much for working so hard to bring Skate back, this is HUGE
