I’ve seen a lot on the games development, I think I remember a feature like mass collaboration zones being mentioned in one of the older dev logs! It isn’t too far off to think that individual players can maker smaller private zones. And like @emoclowngirl said, if they take their time and make sure to build off of previous features, we will probably end up with a good system for it!

Same thing I was thinking. I get that the game is still in “pre alpha” but the environment looks worse than previous skates imo

They will force you to have an account, you will always have to be online and once the servers get shut down (planned obsolescence) you wont be allowed to play it.. just my prediction.

I’m glad everyone is stressing how important a story mode is it’s not just about freedom and creativity. You also need the aspect of enjoying a part of a story on your own. I think too many games do this to a player where they just want you to focus on an environment when really it’s all about the journey.

Blame Minecraft

[@173jaSon371]

The world has turned children into full on addicted gamblers with the thin veils of "sweepstakes" and microtransactions. Not that companies didn't do this beforehand, but nowadays companies will make a sh!t product intentionally because it will still rake in the dollars in microtransactions from 8 year olds. They don't care if most don't want that, enough dumb kids will play the hell out of it and a handful of adults will blow plenty of money on it.

[@RabeaMassaad]

I hope there’s a way to adjust the physics a bit. Like an option to change it because the gravity looks a bit floaty. I love skate, and this is starting to look really cool but would be great if there’s a realistic mode or something. Also maybe graphically give it more vibe, looks very clean and would be nice to see a bit more dirt and grime. Kinda like the first skate game had that vibe

[@BringZeWubs]

8:12 Seasonal updates are good, but please please please do not have time-limited items and gear. FOMO is such a horrible mechanic and make it so if you join into the game late into its lifecycle, you can't get something you really want because it's gone forever. Add the items and keep them accessible at all times, regardless of when you start playing. That's my biggest request.

[@dylanreed9892]

I want the developer to add a story mode

[@IceKoldKilla]

The "dymanic soundtrack" means they can't afford to keeo paying the licenses to use the music in a live service game. Due to the nature of a live service game (F2P too in this case) it means the game is constantly updated and therefore requires a renewal of license every so often. Or instead, get new music instead of paying the raising asking price when the game inevitably does well and labels ask for moee.

[@ThisUsernameSystemF-ckingSucks]

That's probably the truth.

I really hope there's a low camera like skate 1 and 2, it always made skating feel a lot more dynamic and fun. I also wish for a custom skate park creator like Skate 3, it's my favorite feature of that game.

[@SebastianOchoa-h9f]

Realism doesn't equal fun

[@takemeseriouslyplx2124]

@@SebastianOchoa-h9f No, but it needs a level of realism to translate cool tricks actually being cool to pull off! It's fun learning how to skate because you subsequently learn how to do new things that are fairly dangerous if not done properly, and it feels amazing to finally be comfortable enough and skilled enough to do! If everything is floaty and arcadey everyone is going to fly around the map doing the exact same tricks in the first week and the game will die faster than concord! It needs realistic visuals to translate the brutal and unforgiving world of skateboarding!

[@Steadd258]

Honestly gives me Fortnite vibes, from the background to the free to play to the micros to the no offline, can yall just give us quality games back, everything is just imitated and pushed out to us🤦🏾‍♂️ majority of these games today lose replay value after a few months.

[@kerolokerokerolo]

I just want to buy a game, play for some hours, complete the story, and move on. the direction the videogame industry has taken with the game as a service concept is totally cancerous.

[@jhebadiasprunklefunk9243]

I hope they populate the levels with more everyday structures, I feel like the designers just slap ramps n rails everywhere in an otherwise blank area. You do realize that isn't like skating in reality, finding a spot isn't coming across a hidden ramp, it's just us interprating everyday obstacles into something to skate upon, seeing it through our skater eyes. Session nailed this with their levels. So packed full of interesting obstacles.

I'm really worried about the "community" aspect of this game. I personally don't like multiplayer games. I want to play Skate alone, with NPCs and a real story mode. I don't want to play some kind of Fornite type crap game. I want to explore by myself, and not be annoyed by other players skating in MY city.

[@AlexPastel]

100%. I'm not interested in social games with a million rewards and points systems and currency. When I log in to one of those types of games and there's all these notices about "SEASON 5 UPDATES" and "NEW GEAR" and all this other spammy crap cluttering the UI, I get so turned off. I never ever spend a dime on these types of games, but I would gladly pay full price for a single player game with a lot of single-player content, and an OPTION for multiplayer if I feel like trying something new for a few minutes and then go back to single-player.

[@ethandaley69]

Yeah as hype as I am, there's a part of me that is deeply concerned. I don't mind some opt-in social interactivity and couch-co-op, but always online MMO Skate doesn't sound very chill at all 😭 plus microtransactions 😭😭😭

[@athena.bismuth980]

One of the things that really stuck with me from playing skate 3 and interacting with it's community is that most people have a district where they basically never go, for me it was downtown, for others it was industrial or university... Do you (the devs) feel like you know what made certain districts feel inaccessible or otherwise unfun for certain demographics of players, and do you have a plan to hopefully address that for skate 4? I realize that this is just asking "people have likes and dislikes, do you plan to make people have less dislikes," but I'm genuinely curious if there were design lessons that you learned from community feedback on an area-wide scale that you plan on taking into account as you design new areas?
