Game crashes when switching islands
On PC, after the recent update of season 5, the game crashes every time I switch islands too quickly. From San Van to Isle of Grom to SUMR camp, and then it black screens and I don't even get to see the error message when the alert sound goes off. For context I have a pretty decent rig, I've been able to play this game at max graphics with over 120fps, I also have more than 500hrs on the game so I've seen many updates, and this is the first time it's happened. So I'm not sure what changed?No comply animation
I've literally never commented about a video game before but WTF are you doing? I've enjoyed the game besides it's obvious faults, but you guys (for some inexplicable reason) changed the animation on no-comply's and it's a travesty. They looked so good and smooth, literally no reason to change they were perfect. now it's a clunky ugly animation that doesn't look the slightest bit realistic....change it back and I can keep enjoying the game otherwise I'll be forced to join the ranks of people hating on this game lolBrands
Just a tip for the devs, the easiest way to incorporate a large brand library over time is by going online on. Skateboarding websites like skatewarehouse, ccs, and tactics and browsing the brands available.. from there it’s just getting the go ahead from whatever respective brands. The part of the community that skates irl would like to see some of the more newer brands out instead of an overhaul of mainstream brands for the next nine years to come. Adding the “other brands adds a variety.. food for thought. Example: mini logo, hockey, pylon, there,lovesick, EDGLRD,Trade. More niche brands I’ve found over the years their are a lot of other creative minds creating killer graphics for lesser brands who don’t get as much shine.. could showcase the very best designs in game!!!Game Lags Constantly on Xbox One
i know this isnt like a top priority because the xbox one isnt like current generation, but there is something causing the game to lag constantly on my console. i don’t know if its the player count, the fog from the halloween event going on right now, or something else. but the game starts chugging every few seconds. it makes the game borderline unplayable. i think a “performance mode” where maybe the graphics are knocked down a bit in exchange for better performance. anyone else experience this?
Push speed adjustments
Adding a slider/adjustment option for push speed would help flow and pacing for a lot of the skating in this game. A lot of the time it’s hard to skate a park/plaza as intended; too fast, or I’m slower and even one push would put me in a speed faster than required to skate the spot. The new Parry Point Park is a great example of where some speeds in between what we have now would help the area flow a lot better.Front foot push revert
Always have this weird feeling that there should be an animation for quickly turning the deck and body around when pushing with the front foot and doing a revert at the same time. While i think session markers keeping fakie stance should be implemented asap. When in a slower line a quicker way to turn around without losing (as much) speed would be helpful. 180 is too slow. Revert is fine but loses too much speed. On a real deck when pushing with the front foot it´s somewhat possible to quicky spin it around with the backfoot. Kinda lika a no comply shuv it but with the deck not leaving the ground, just slightly lifting the fronttrucks. Therefor the wheels not sliding and not slowing the board down. So the input would be similar to a no comply but instead of ollie you do a revert and, since you have both hands free for it, the input can be at the same time. Maybe only possible at 1-2 push speeds cause faster would be really weird i think. Or just make you lose speed at that point. Could also be added with the back foot. But then the body has to follow the board and will probably look weird with a 180. Maybe in this case not for stance change but just some silly little trick (would be a bit weird with the revert input not turning you though) nollie no comply varial/shuvit but no popping so i guess no no comply. Whatever you know what i mean. When spinning the deck fs the backfoot would also be kinda in the way. Though that way you could play skip it or whatever that toy was called. That thing where one side was attached to your ankle and you spun it around and jumped over it with the other leg. So with the endless revert input + back foot push after starting it as mentioned above. hopphopphopphopphopp maybe turn that off while movingboard mount input same as interact causing conflict
myself and many others prefer to mount onto their board from a walk or running start position versus standing on the board and start pushing. But because triangle (PS) or Y (Xbox) is the same input to interact with features around you like engaging a challenge ect can be very annoying. for example the top of the roll in at Bonski park there is a challenge spot so when I'm trying to mount my board at that spot I have to spam triangle as I'm moving forward because the two inputs are conflicting with each other causing my character to constantly stop abruptly because the game thinks I'm trying to start the challenge when I'm just trying to mount my board.Can we address the elephant in the room?
Before I stat this I just want to say that I am a MAJOR fan of the skate brand. I am a die-hard fan of skate 1 through 3. when skate 4 came out I was so excited to play it, I even requested time off work the day of release for it. But I was soon met with the reality that it wasn't the game I had been hoping for, for the better part of a decade. I gave it a shot for roughly 1 or 2 months, trying to enjoy it, I thought maybe i had just grown out of it. I came back months later to give it another try, and after an hour i was extremely bored. Now for the elephant in the room. Reskate. I heard about this a few days ago and decided to give it a try. And to my amazement I had the most fun for 2 days straight like I used to have in skate 2 and 3. It brought back the joy I had in what skate was. A single player game, that allowed me to join lobbies if i wanted to skate with other people. It allowed me to play player-built maps, maps from previous skate games that I missed so much. It allowed me to skate in different times of the day whether I wanted to sesh in the morning, afternoon, or at night. And it just brought back a lot of joy I remembered from the skate 3 days. That being said I think skate needs to go about how the deal with Reskate very carefully. on average there is usually about 3-4k players on the main game at any given time. At any given time, there are thousands of players on Reskate. This makes me assume that 50% of the players are leaning into Reskate opposed to the main game. And rightfully so as Reskate has been giving players what they have been asking for, for MONTHS. It should show skate devs that the player base is there, they are just extremely unhappy with how things have gone from the start, and it took players creating a mod to make the game what they wanted for it to finally be good. Personally, I think the owners of skate, and the devs, they should really consider partnering with the coders who created Reskate. And bring them in on the project and game to help develop and create what skate should have originally been. I do agree that giving people stuff that are paid items or areas, should not happen. But other than that, I don't see anything wrong with Reskate. Imagine how good the game could be in just 6 months if they partnered with the developers of Reskate, brought over all the tools Reskate offers minus a few, allowed people to play offline, on custom maps, and tweak the game how they want it to run. Imagine how much better skate would be if that happened. So, I guess what I'm saying is Please do not kill Reskate. Reach out to the owners of the mod. Get together with them and create something that should have been created from the start. There is no reason that this game can't be brought back to something everyone loves and wants, but unfortunately right now skate just isn't that. I don't want to get too much into why that is because I'm not here to mention all the flaws with the game or what makes it boring. I'm here to suggest that the devs reach out, agree to some sort of partnership and allow the fans to actually have the game they want. Theres no reason you can't make money on microtransactions and still give us the game we want. Id happily buy some stuff and support the game if i was genuinely having fun on it. But when you look at the store in game, $6 for a skateboard, when we haven't gotten any of the things the player base has been asking for is kind of insane. I mean for the 1-year anniversary all we got was a full, black hoodie. A simple black hoodie that's nothing special. At the end of the day i think people just want a game that's fun, they get excited to hop onto, and right now skate the main game is just not that, its Reskate. And i don't see that changing any time soon. Id like to hope that it does because again, I love the skate genre. diehard fan of skate 1-3 so much so that ive re bought 360's when they're long out of date just to be able to play the older skate games. I just hope we see a positive outcome from this. And the owners of skate and the devs realize that Reskate is literally showing them what players want, it's literally a foundation for skate to use and make a better game with.Roadmap hidden behind files
As someone who has spent hundreds on your new skate game. This new Skate 4 mod proves that EA/FC is withholding most of the roadmap that is already finished and available. Creating time dragging, max profiting roadmaps. not moral and truthful ones. This is how you lose customers. I DO NOT expect to see a change of course from EA as they have already been immoral for the past 15 years. FC has a chance to tell their boss what is going to happen before this game tanks.
