This game is so sick.
I absolutely love how every time there is an update, I have to redownload the game, remake my character, lose all of my prog, and get forced into a tutorial for a game that I've been playing since I was 12. Its so fun and in no way making me never want to touch this game ever again.Simple feedback. The gameplay design is all wrong.
Its wrong, so wrong. Here's some reasons why. The map is horrible, some challenges have a tree right in the middle of the platform that is lit up in fluorescent yellow, why I'm not sure, they think we're stupid maybe. Or maybe its trying to please everyone so even people with bad eye can play this bad game. The climbing and parkour can be fun but they're not needed, we need better board stability and the speed of just about everything needs increasing, let us change the truck tightness and how hard the wheels are, I think it needs better map or a lot of the spots need to be designed better, some parts do not fit in and get in the way. It needs an incentive to keep you playing otherwise you're just grinding out spots until you get one you can't 100% do because its designed so poorly, you don't have to 100% it but this is a Skating game, you want to. I want some type of story, or you make a Skate magazine and other people join it, like a crew, making people work together or battle within the magazine, creating highlights that are voted on monthly or weekly between crews for cool rewards. The look of the game isn't good enough, I understand they tried to make a game that doesn't require anything high-end, I respect that, but it doesn't look good, especially (ill mention it again) the fluorescent yellow to tell you where to trick, the blue lines and arrows were good from Skate 3. I won't talk about the issues with it always being online, we all know the how bad this can be, same with microtransactions and it being a free to play, I would prefer to spend 50-60 $/£ and get a complete game, but it is what it is. Positives are that it can be fun at times and it's fun to play with friends, some of the clothes and boards, trucks, and wheels look nice. The fact PS4 can play with PS5 and Xbox One with Xbox Series is great, more games should do this if they're going to make low effort art styled multiplayer games. If you're going to use an AI voiceover, please give us options for voices. This has taken the place of what would have been Skate 4 which disappoints me, but ultimately I thank EA for keeping Skate 3 servers online!Skate Feedback
Definitely not what I was expecting. Feels different than the first 3 skates. It has a lot of potential. I noticed Dark-slide trick was removed I really enjoyed that and the coffin, could do some pretty rad tricks with both of those. Grabbing cars or any vehicle while skating was such a favourite of mine. Really sick way to traverse. Wear and tare of the environment and boards was really awesome too having the deck and grip tape get scratched up just gave that real skate culture experience & made the game unique. Hall of meat with all the building and cranes and heights to fall off of with the new roll and flip add on. Really surprised the hall of meat isn’t already in the game. Would be cool to see especially with the change of art style and graphics would be so cool to see. I noticed while skating around I’d have trouble getting onto certain rails or ledges which should be easy to grind considering the board can go high enough. Found myself having a half decent run then all of a sudden my board would clip a bush or something minor and then I would bail. Acid drops from super high places and my characters legs give out don’t remember the off board skates before ever having difficulty dropping and landing from unbelievable spots to be an issue. It’s a video game meant to be fun if I wanna drop off a building and land on my board would be nice for the character to stay on the board. Just makes for some really sick runs. Considering it is early access, it has been very buggy can’t go into my settings at all. I’m still stuck on opening the item shop have been since launch. It won’t let me proceed past that says missions and the store are locked. I was unable to join my friend’s game after multiple invites. I’m a huge fan of all the skates before especially 2 & 3 I really hope these suggestions from all the day one fans will be considered and improved. I’d hate to not enjoy playing one of my all time favourite franchises. Good to be back! Thanks so much for all the memories here’s to many more in the next coming years.Skate culture
Quite disappointed at the lack of skate culture in the game as of right now. The Skate 3 game had so much of it, the intro alone had so many skaters and iconic aspects like them going through the process of creating a board. In todays time, skating has had a lot of attraction, an increase in communities and so much going on, it’s a shame we don’t see challenges with skaters in todays time and icons from the past, collaborations with brands like X games, events, etc. I feel like the game will get boring after the whole trick manual has been done without some actual content. And because it’s an online game they can constantly update us with new stuff if they wanted to, taking example from games like Riders Republic. It just kinda sucks not to feel the skate culture in a Skate game.FIX THE **bleep** TUTORIAL
i’m stuck in the stupid **bleep**ing shop part of the game, i can’t play with any friends because it won’t **bleep**ing work. FIX UR GAME. WHY WOULD YOU RELEASE A PIECE OF GARBAGE THAT DOESNT EVEN **bleep**ING PLAY GODDAMN. FIX IT. TRIPLE A COMPANY AND YALL CANT SO **bleep**. I WAS SOOO EXCITED TO PLAY, THEN REALIZED U WANNA MAKE ME **bleep**ING MISERABLE. 15 **bleep**IN YEARS FOR THIS **bleep**IN GARBAGE. U GIVE ME A GODDAMN ANSWER ON HOW TO FIX THIS RIGHT **bleep**IN NOW **bleep**.Suggestions
To preface this list, I have not played much of the new game. I got as far as the Trasnsition 101 mission before I got softlocked. The game is great and the physics are better. However, I have played nearly 30,000 hours of Skate 3, along with 5,000 hours in the rest of the franchise. I am HEAVILY biased. It is my favorite game franchise all time, and I have waited nearly my whole life for another installment. (2008 born) I don't mind the free to play aspect. I got over it very quickly. I know feedback is very important to making this game better. Here are a handful of suggestions. Some are downright goofy, but these are the things I thought would make Skate 3 better when I played it over the years because that's where I started and that's what I envisioned the new Skate game would be improving upon. Lemme hippy jump cars PLEASE. That was my first memory of playing S3 and I remember it being so rewarding to pull off. Lemme be able to set on/off board marker preferences. I would get off my board and place a marker, hit a spot and bail, and come back standing up. I'd like to be able to always spawn back on my board instead of having to get on it again. Bring back legacy parks. Megapark. Rosalita. Boneyard. Park & Play. Community Center. S3/S2 Ditch. It would also be great to have remasters of all 3 maps. I actually wouldn't mind paying for DLC to play on those again. For fans and veterans who disliked the game being free to play, they would have something to pay full price for. Being able to at least change the ply color of the blank board would be aestheticly adequate for me. More nods to S3 online culture. Neon green fits. Blindingly white skin color. Neon grip tape that doesn't look like it grips because it looks like plastic. RT/R2. TO. CALL. BACK. BOARD. PLEASE. (along with legacy controls more accurate to the original games.) Darkcatches. I know its controversial because it's heavily tied to S3 comp, but I want them back. Out of every spot the developers could subtly bring back, the only one I recognized was the triple stairset outside Rosalita. We could have easily had Park & Play at the base of the ramp. Why? Community Center in the leaked beta, but not in the Early Access. Why? Kick Push by Lupe Fiasco not in the base soundtrack. Why? Add a battle pass lol. Where is Coach Frank? Where is Reda? Where are all the pro skaters? Where is Sammy? Why didn't we have a memorial park for our boy Fabio? (RIP Fabio frfr) Who are these other people? I'm scared. Where are Deathraces? Why can't Shingo take over instead of Vee? Didn't my boy go to film school? Why is Meat Man fifty dollars? Please don't make Dem Bones fifty dollars. Bring the Park Editor and skate.Park back. That was fun. Skate 3 web servers back online. I still need that Sellout trophy to get the platinum trophy on PS3. OG edit filters from the OG DLC film packs. Please give Fabio a proper funeral. More trap music in the soundtrack. Dr. Pepper Man, Superdude flips renamed to Miracle Whips, and Even Flow by Pearl Jam in the soundtrack. The community would love this. Goofy shaped skateboards would be cool. It's called skate. Maybe adding rollerskates, scooters, and BMX bikes down the line would be interesting. Collabs with the NBA/NFL/NHL/MLB. Player jerseys would go hard. Nike Dunks. Jordan 1's, 4's, and 5's. Custom colorways? CUSTOM SHOE CREATOR???Other Players & The Shop
I want to start by saying I appreciate having this platform for us to speak our minds; even if all of our feedback goes ignored, at least we get a chance to say our piece. If we must be online at all times, it would be great if we could at least hide other players if we want. Even though they technically don’t interfere with me doing my tricks. It really messes with the feeling of gameplay having a bunch of people skating all around me. The layout/offerings in the shop are kind of confusing too. I just want to be able to browse through a bunch of shirts and buy a shirt. For example, the “Board Shop” category is just a list of random items - it would be much better if this was categorized by item type, like “wheels”, “trucks”, etc. - I’m not trying to sound mean but I feel like this is a really elementary concept that I’m having to emphasize. Maybe it’ll be different in the completed game.Culture change and more
This game feels like non skaters made it. They should study why skate 3 worked so well and go back to the principals we all liked. Art: for one The art style is in the other direction of skate culture and is far from appealing. This pop cartoonish animation feels trash. Skate 3s animation appealed to me more and still does. Also The guy characters in skate 3 looked like dudes while all the guy characters in this game look like they have makeup on which is fine but don’t make it by default Music: the skate 3 soundtrack was iconic, I've found myself playing the whole soundtrack while I skated irl it was so good. These new songs are annoying and I already want to mute the soundtrack. please bring back some alternative rock/ grungy/ metal/ punk tracks that appeal to skaters more. Narrator: coach Steve was iconic, this robot thing narrating the tutorials gets annoying fast. No narration would be better. But would like to see maybe some pro skaters we all like doing the narration. online: I wish this game could be played offline. I don’t want to lose connection constantly. I just want to skate around without having to play online. On a positive note I feel like the new landing animation and trick movement is cool.
Text error/bug.
I've been playing since the registered access and have seen the coded text ever since. I thought it was because of early access because a friend of mine has the same problem. I also saw clips from YouTubers who have the texts correct, but I assumed it was a version for them and hoped it would be fixed today, but they are still the same. I tried changing the console language (PS5) and reinstalling the game, but nothing worked. If anyone has had the same problem and can help us, I would really appreciate it.
