Transparency in S6 and onwards
I really think the game is in a place right now to start being more transparent with things and how they're made. I've been thinking about the RINQ building for a while - we don't know what it is, how big it's going to be, if it will serve a new function or just be a skateable location. I realise that it's unfortunately a bit of a common trend in this game for us to not really know anything until it happens. When there is a lack of information, people begin to speculate and expectations form that aren't grounded in any basis of reality because things change in this game all the time and they can be big things or little things. Obviously, there's gonna be revisions - plans change, the scope of the update scales down - but I think we really do need to start seeing more than just the developer interviews buried in the Weekly Grind. I respect the vision of the live-action videos that have been released (Watertaxi to Grom, the Locker Room sketches, "Where's Slappy?") and I think they're cool to build excitement but what people really want to see is, well, what they can expect to see. Maybe we get a video at the start of every season, of a dedicated community-facing member of staff explaining what the goal is with the incoming season of content: What are the themes? What did the staff think and feel while making it? What is going to be delivered this season, do you have any timelines or schedules to share? Addressing any present community concerns.* Closing out with the best vibes possible. I was debating whether to post this but I really do want this game to keep going, the world needs games like Skate more than ever in my opinion, and I have absolutely seen more skaters out in the real world since the game released last year. --- * For instance, this season has seen a lot of people unhappy with the lack of UGC systems, but they don't necessarily know that it takes a lot of work to create such a system or that focus was put onto PvP modes like Spot Battles or Block Parties. This is probably the biggest reason why Reskate was met with so much adoration, and I think a lot of misinformation made it a much harder week than it had to be.
Brands, add more and add more products of existing brands
Osiris Element Blind DGK Enjoi PlanB Flip Stussy SUPREME Zero Alien workshop World industries Heroin Powell Peralta Revive Toy machine ANTI HERO Straye Etnies DC Diamond ECKO ZOOYORK Almost Alva Dogtown Z-Flex Grindkings Bones Black label MOB Grizzly Circa Reebox New balance Lakai path shorty's Carhartt darkstar bape ripndip EMERICA OBEY kappa Foundation POSER North Face lacoste think ASICS ALC Volcom The Hundreds FTP birdhouse (but I’d doubt this because of thps) There are definitely more brands that need to be in the game And honestly, they need to bring back more pieces from brands that are already in the game, like: Independent Santa Cruz Girl Thunder Royal Creature Dickies Chocolate Spitfire wheels Krooked Real Shake junt Quasi Converse (comme des garçons) thrasher They should also add the fake magazine companies like Vansta Rouge Riders vanarchy Energy drinks that have sponsored skating for decades Red Bull Monster rockstarNo 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 loli just logged out.
i logged on to continue my progression. i wanted the chase the cosmetics from the crew missions. i can't. the next step is throwdowns, which require other players. there are 3 currently in San Van with no players. so my personal progression is stalled. the end. i turned it off. i personally think this is poor design. you should never link a players progression to another player's participation. i play WITH them but FOR myself, if that makes sense. maybe it doesnt. the result is me not playing skate. if that's your goal, you are succeeding.
lack of coping on wood surfaces
Not having metal coping on the edges of standard skatepark surfaces has always bothered me about many of the community parks but I also never skate them so out of sight out of mind but now we have this cool indoor park (boiler room) on Isle of Morg which has great wood textures and that DIY feel to it but there is only one ledge that has coping on it, there is nothing satisfying about grinding bare wood, you want that sound and feel of grinding on metal.
The most disappointing thing about the Halloween event
You've already got the license for The Specials "Ghost Town" and it's not on any of the Morg challenge playlists? What are we doing here? Like I get that there's a variety of ways to express Halloween vibes but the vast majority of the playlist is octuple bass drum death metal, which is fine but you've already got access to a classic that gets played everywhere in October.
Skating Passion Since 1987 - Sharing Videos, Tricks and Stories
Hello, passionate about skateboarding and a purist with about fifteen years of IRL skateboarding in the "golden years" from 1987 onwards, I launched a YouTube channel to share this passion, without pretension, just for fun. My goal isn't to post videos at a set, calculated frequency just for the sake of posting, I simply enjoy the game while saving certain shots. These might spark an idea or a concept, and if so, I set them aside to produce a video that makes sense to me. Being able to exchange feedback afterward, whether positive or negative, but always constructive, is a significant bonus. Here's the link to the channel : HK-SINISTER Thank you for taking the time to read this.. Please feel free to share your thoughts; I'm open to all your suggestions. Peace !Got a style of your own? Parallax wants to see it !
Hey everyone! Ever filmed a line, a trick, or a moment on your board that felt uniquely yours? Maybe it's not the biggest trick or the cleanest landing, but there's something about the style, the framing, the colors, or the atmosphere that makes it stand out. That's what Parallax is about. “This is skating in slow motion as a form of reflection. A continuous 24/7 skate stream shaped by color, distance, and the gentle shift of perspective. Parallax invites you to see skateboarding not as motion, but as composition.” Parallax is an ongoing community skate project that brings together different skaters, styles, and perspectives in one continuous stream. It's about seeing skateboarding differently: not just as tricks and performance, but as images, atmosphere, creativity, and personal expression. We're looking for a wide variety of skaters and styles. Realistic street lines, technical skating, creative spots, unusual angles, beautiful scenery, or simply a way of skating that feels like your own — there's room for different approaches. You don't have to be the best player or land the craziest tricks. What matters is having something worth sharing. Your footage might bring a perspective that someone else connects with, and become part of something you wouldn't create alone. Anyone can contribute. If you'd like to be part of the project, check out the channel and find the submission link in the description. Want to check it out or contribute? You can watch the stream here: Parallax The direct stream URL may change following future updates, so you can also find the stream through the channel itself : The Skate Stream If you'd like to contribute your own footage, you'll find the submission link in the channel description. No pressure, no competition. Just skate, film, experiment, and share your vision. Your skating doesn't have to look like everyone else's. That's the whole point. So, what does your skating look like?
Do not fear ReSkate
The entire mod was made using Claude AI. I believe EA can send a Cease and Desist for copyright reasons. I'll let y'all figure out on how. Their Official Discord is horrendous. Minors are harassing, and bullying new members for having questions regarding the mod (Installing it, Virus scare, etc.) Ragebaiting people including me and several other people. Why am I bringing this up? ReSkate is just a branch of Skate. right? So why doesn't EA, idk, 'pull the plug'? Recently they had a great update that adds Road Rash and Board Break into their official additions. No credit, no actual way to NOT steal ideas. But knowing Claude AI was used only proves that these people do not know anything about scripting and Cease and Desists. What do you think? Was this post useless to put out or do you think EA is putting out a secret move against the modders of ReSkate?
