[@SneakySoups]

The ft vs meters difference looks outdated now obviously, but this is because of inflation Back when Skate 3 came out 100 meters was actually 300ft, but due to inflation 100meters in 2023 is roughly 328ft.

Syphrus: "Why is there a speedcap and height timer?!?!" Also Syphrus: "So the game breaks if these two things are disabled. Fall damage is non-existent and the camera glitches out."

[@filipesilva2624]

the game developers probably just disabled fall damage because it was impossible with the cap on, and the camera wasn't build with such speeds in mind because of the speed cap as well

[@whatr0]

the limit timers are definitely in place to just prevent people from getting stuck outside the map, I imagine they weren't all that concerned about the edge cases where people managed to find the few spots on the map where exceeding the limits is even possible the speed cap could also be to prevent glitches from appearing in areas before the game can manage to fully render them, you can see stuff struggling to pop in flying at light speed already

[@Syphrus]

When it comes to falling, hitting a or going back to marker always brings you to the top. Speed cap, I see where you're coming from.

[@whatr0]

@@Syphrus could just be a case of something implemented early into development to prevent bugs and just never removed since there's not much reason to do so for 95% of players.

[@Lowzerix]

well i just cant understand the air timer, it seems like the devs were lazy tbh and that limited the game a lot, but well, we can mod the game at least.

I think the conversion thing was done on purpose, approximating 1 meter as 3 feet so that mission objectives and achievemetns etc still look neat. The game's coding is probably "stay within 100 meters" and then converting to ft "stay within 300ft" looks a whole lot neater than "stay within 328ft".

anyhow if spyhrus sees this mad lad's comment, could you make a mod that updates the camera delay to be more consistent, I know a few third-person games where the camera is delayed on purpose to give a certain aesthetic or feel, where if it was constantly updated to the players position in times where it shouldn't it accurately captures the character but feels uncanny.

3:05 makes sense because if you grab the board you already bend the legs, but if you dont, you can land and bend them on impact and absorb some of the energy

[@b4krr]

The limits are important to what makes skate different than tony hawk so I'm glad they were there in the first place. Shocked that easy mode doesn't disable these or nobody found dev cheats to term em off Edit: similar annoying ones are 3 fliptricks on any one rail/ledge. And no tattooed on both limbs

[@woobgamer5210]

except tony hawk doesnt let you go zooming at 100 miles an hour because the game was coded bad Tony Hawk had no need for limitations because the game was pretty solid i can understand realism for falling in skate 3, but tony hawk has realistic speed too, it just feels like the speed cap was a band-aid fix to a broken game at which point, just remove the limits, let people have fun with a game that is functionally destroyed

[@SonicBoone56]

Nah, the limits are there cuz the game is so broken and EA didn't wanna fix it.

[@ZODIACC-wn1qd]

You can do the cannonball speed glitch even faster depending on if you have collision between you and the board before you hit the ground. I like to think it's because the object in the way increases the distance and speed since it really wants to get back to your skater.. you can do it on some slopes but it's definitely different from flat ground. It also depends which way the board comes back to your skater left or right hand you want the board to be against what ur hitting. Since you can do the cannonball speed glitch on a slope with the right timing you can get some insane speed and air for gaps (i add a dont know emote)

[@ViniSocramSaint]

Suppose limiters exist to control the physics engine. Physics in 3D simulations have a tendency to reach close to infinite values for any force, this can cause games to crash constantly for no apparent reason. So caps are added to curb the calculations when things get out of hand. Eveything has caps, from video games, to 3D suits like Blender and Maya, even to scientific physics simutator/imaging softwares, which would be surprising since we expect the scientific tools to be capless... for science ^_^ So, in the future, if you ever decide to make a physics based game, the code is ok but it keeps crashing for no reason... it could be a small, pesky cube that has a picosecond-long, Everest-high spike in the value of traveling velocity when simply laying on the ground. Put a cap on everything and you are golden

[@blumepuppy]

Hello! I became curious when you mentioned your playtime wouldn't exceed 148h:38m:08s on the in-game timer. I can't say for sure why this happens without knowing how the game was programmed. Also, this is only a theory, so please do not take this as fact. Your playtime equates to 524288 seconds. 524287 is the largest value that can be stored in a 19-bit binary number (1111111111111111111). The binary number increments up by one when a second passes. This is one second off from your actual playtime. The game likely counts all zeros as 1 second of playtime. This means that one second of playtime is equal to 0000000000000000000. Counting past 524287 in binary would cause an overflow. While the game runs on 64-bit systems (Xbox 360, Xbox One, PS3), this may be a limitation implemented by the developers. It may also be a limitation of the RenderWare engine. This issue also happens in Burnout Paradise, which uses the same engine as Skate 3. Just thought that was neat!
