Session Skateboarding Gameplay: Better Than Skate 4? (Let's Play Session on Xbox One)

[@mattball8622]

Mike attempting to commentate through tears of laughter is the content I signed up for.

[@oxfanblink4115]

It’s almost as great as when he annoys Andy 😂😂😂😂

[@AlmightyPolarBear]

Ellen is rubbing off on him.

[@oxfanblink4115]

Nathan Williamson probably but she’s the adorable queen of giggling

[@JackHammer503]

Oddly enough, declaring himself "The Grindmaster" is what got Andy barred from returning to multiple clubs around London

[@abydosianchulac2]

However it *has* gotten him more connections on certain dating apps.

[@Mr_TheHan]

I thought that was him in the old office elevators with Mike...

[@johnsansker7064]

Andy: "I've been playing this quite a bit". Proceeds to be bad. Mike: Attempts to out laugh Ellen for a video.

[@truehopey8045]

Andy's entire commentary consists of the words, "Watch me grind" followed by either "No" or "Hmm". This is why I love your channel.

[@anthonypaparo]

If they market this as the Dark Souls of skateboarding, I can see it amassing a following -- half of the people will be skilled enough to pull off sweet tricks, the other half will be like Mike and I, laughing hysterically at failure.

[@firdawesome3203]

I did a ctrl+f for 'Dark Souls' - totally agree with your comment

[@rmbrblu]

The game is easy just takes time

[@TheJspan]

It's seriously the dark souls of Skateboarding games if playing on Hardcore mode having to catch all ur own tricks in a line can be difficult

[@drigodamus]

can that be as rewarding as conquering a DS boss...catching a grind takes a lot but at the end of the day i can skate better irl...and that’s fun.

[@OnWind]

You can control the level of difficulty and changes the controls to be similar to skate if y’all want too. Just takes time like all games. And the skating community is big enough to GoFundMe this games into existence.

[@DreadedLad88]

Compared to realism of THPS, this seems to be on the other side of the spectrum. To me Skate sits perfectly between the two.

[@garfingle6611]

I've had this game on pc for a while now and once you get the controls down it is really easy to chain tricks together and the way body rotation and board rotation works allows for some equally unbelievable tricks.

[@TheJspan]

I agree with this because this game was aimed toward the real skateboarding experince I mean if you know knowledge of Skateboarding the tricks come easy because you do things how you would in real life like for example I know a 360 pop shuv-it + kickflip is a 360 flip so on the joysticks it's easy for me

[@fixedfocusfilm3068]

Control-wise, you're spot on. But the EA Skate series actually has incredible realism (especially on Hardcore mode).

[@djsubliminalreeve]

@@fixedfocusfilm3068 yeah nd it actually looks way more fun than session and skater xl

[@blk1048]

Fixed Focus Charlie hardcore mode on skate 3 is no where near this game

[@brocksisson7128]

Mikes laughter in this is so perfect and adorable. Thankyou Andy for creating a situation that made him laugh like this

[@travisspaulding5835]

The slow-mo action replays were 100% needed

[@nathanplummer3282]

The big question though: Will it be compatible with the Tony Hawk: Ride board?

[@Jambobist]

Finally someone brave enough to ask the real questions!

[@kayleyanna3164]

Is anything really compatible with the Tony Hawk Ride board

[@cthulhufhtagn2483]

We all know the value of those peripherals!

[@zanite8650]

Yes but you don't want to know how.

[@nikobellic3830]

Tony Hawk Ride isn’t even compatible with the Tony Hawk Ride board

[@SirRavix]

There's just something about ragdoll physics in skateboarding games that kills me. This was great lol.

[@mileswalker4489]

The slow-motion replays of anything vaguely successful killed me every time 😂

[@BrianAbear]

For the people that don’t know u can change the controls to be like skate where one analog stick is for tricks and other is for movement. Also you can make grinding easier so much so that u can start to grind stuff without actually landing in the right area.

[@raynefrost9084]

I haven’t heard Mike laugh this hard in a long time. It’s nice. It’s also concerning, considering it was all at painful deaths.

[@cacs2201]

I mean, it IS Mike we are talking about

[@dallydaydream]

Counterpoint: painful *ragdoll* deaths. Ragdolling is always hilarious :D

[@marhawkman303]

@@dallydaydream Well some was broken bones but not deaths I think?

[@PhantomJokerX]

Mike has played Dark Souls.. are you sure on the painful deaths?

[@SirMethos]

Mike giggling alongside the commentary completely sold me on this video. ^^ Edit: Bloody hell, that entire 'stair grind' section at the end damn near killed me. I was laughing so hard during that entire section that my stomach hurts now ^^

[@connerhuntington6094]

Maybe should have named the video “Andy Stacks It For A Half Hour”

[@travisspaulding5835]

This game absolutely must be used for a Christmas challenge

[@1Holbytla]

Yes, please!

[@Ovetupp]

It's weird that this game makes me think of a chill sunday afternoon hang. It's a very specific vibe, but this is what I believe it looks like.

[@BeTheJookie]

Yeah, but it certainly doesn't play like that. Session is wack.

[@Onemorerep03]

BeTheJookie skate 3 🤟🏽

[@blk1048]

BeTheJookie it plays fine, get good

[@foreverjetspacefella9980]

This video is just 26 minutes of Mike laughing and I love it

[@andymcp4752]

“Can we get Skate 4?” “We have Skate 4 at home” Skate 4 at home:

[@dreadpool91]

kinda more excited for the remastered thps 1&2

[@Kfordca]

dez randall havent u seen the trailers? The graphics and gameplay look like trash

[@DirtyGuerrilla]

dez randall sorry to hear that

[@AlmightyPolarBear]

@@dreadpool91 You mean Remakes, yet I am excited for them as well. Even with most of the original soundtracks.

[@simoneracioppi4305]

Andy: "It's a very accurate simulation, you know" Mike: "lol he fell"

[@nithin143ash]

Now that I've seen Andy's gameplay, i need to see jane playing this. It's going to be fulk of "oh nooo " and "save me andy" "skeltonman nooooo". Just imagining is fun

[@TLugs]

Thank you both for some seriously needed laughter. Both Andy's mild frustration and disappointment is exactly as I would sound if I had the controller, and Mike laughing at the slapstick flopping of the character model is exactly what I needed to get me through this week. Thanks for the content!

[@AdamusPrime24]

Mike losing it is one of the best things to hear right now XD

[@LacroixboiMarx]

I honestly haven't laughed this hard in a long time. Thank you.

[@Grommish]

I kinda want to see the unedited video - So much just pure laughter is something I've not found a lot of recently.

[@DoovieMIK]

Eight minutes in and it feels like this video is going to be 25 minutes of Andy showing Corazon levels of confidence and Mike dying laughing at the rag doll physics

[@jennie_munchkin388]

I am legit crying, lads this was so much fun🤣

[@unholyglee5306]

Can this game *please* be part of a livestream? I’d love to watch the various oxboxtra crew members laugh until they cry at the ragdoll antics.

[@MetabolicSpore0]

My favourite skate boarding game is definitely Spyro Year Of The Dragon. 😁

[@antonyingram]

Andy being super enthusiastic about something but also terrible is very relatable.

[@GiraffreyG]

Mike's laugh is so incredibly contagious. I love this video.

[@thisisodsmith]

I see an Oxmas challenge in the offing here...

[@cassun603]

Yes. Don't let's be beastly to the Oxboxtra crew

[@DemonRumm]

Mike and Andy have a wonderful ability to entertain me and make me laugh while playing games that plot/content-wise I really don't care about. Skating, wrestling, racing...I always enjoy these videos despite the premise and it's all thanks to them.

[@jekebe4858]

Outsidexbox doing a video about an actual xbox game.... INCONCEIVABLE!

🎶Andy's a skater boy, turns out he's the real McCoy. Although he broke all of his boooones🎶

@@oriolgonzalez9328 He liked his bones, they all got broke, Now what's he gonna do?

[@LiamDuke]

Mike's laugh at the start is so pure

[@cthulhufhtagn2483]

The logical conclusion of Mike not watching any Oxboxtra videos is that Mike is not actually subscribed to either channel.

[@x-crisis]

Those characters are so dead-eyed in the creation screen.

[@overlongname]

Pitch meeting presenter: Like QWOP, but a skateboarding game Producer: Say no more fam

[@gregwisniewski9604]

Can I get a supercut of every time Andy said "no" in this video?

[@ghost_615]

"I'm gonna grind this bench"...skates straight at it. Uhh...that's not how this works. 🤔

[@Videosaurus_Wrex]

Skateboarders: NEVER MONGO! Andy: always mongo.

[@thegreyareaofsantos]

Its terrifying to watch people do in real life for me and yeah. It makes me anxious seeing Andy do it here

[@abeardwithtattoos]

Cops push Mongo!

[@Conor2400]

Wow I needed a laugh today and this has made it.. Thank you. Brillaint Vid!! - Especially Andy keeping saying 'Nope' ...

[@SamClaywth]

EA abandons the Skate series so two independent dev teams spent years creating Session, and another team is making Skater XL. Now that EA sees these small companies making what they refused to believe would make money, they are going to throw money at Skate 4 and sadly probably be more successful, and filled with microtransactions

[@JonCom3dy]

You’re right man.

[@PMURDUH]

To be fair , these games will never make as much money as call of duty , which is what they want. And that’s okay. It’s okay to have niche franchises

[@Kfordca]

Phillyblunt90000 why does call of duty make the most compared to all the other games?

[@Nitroh-]

if black box didnt disband in 2013 we would have seen skate 4 years ago

[@PMURDUH]

Kyle F mass appeal

[@Camachik172]

There's like a weird ghosting behind the feet sometimes

[@lordporpoise8761]

Skip to 0:01 for the first crashes. You're welcome :)

[@gwydtheory]

As someone who’s skateboarded in real life for about 16 years and been playing this pretty solidly for about the last week, I can say this is the game that’s come closest to feeling like actual skateboarding! The controls feel weird and new at first but, once it clicks, it gives you so much control over what you can do! 🛹 Can also unfortunately confirm the weird positioning of your characters feet/ankles at times are also realistic 😅

[@Angrymuscles]

There has to be another video of this. It's too painful and hard-to-play to not get another feature.

[@MrBRolls]

I think its gonna be really good once its polished up. Stoked to see what really comes of it

[@cristianmihai4182]

Honestly, seems way too technical. Skate3's systems were enjoyable af

[@MrJizzinmypantz]

It's a sim, a realistic level of technicality is the raison d'etre of things like this. Session might just not be what you are looking for.

[@TheVolginator]

I think that's the point bud. Skate 3 was toned down already

[@narcspector]

Yeah this isn't meant to be Skate, it's its own animal. I believe the first like Kickstarter Trailer (or whatever trailer), they said that it's *meant* to be like "the most realistic skating game ever" or something. But that was like literally years back so I have no idea anymore.

[@Timo8.2.]

There is skate 3 type controls on this game too

[@DirtyGuerrilla]

Fuck what these other guys are saying, I'm with you. They probably don't actually skate. The only thing that makes this game a "sim" is pop height. Between the lack of flow and even the simplest tricks being unnecessarily tech, the game's just not that enjoyable let alone "realistic"/true-to-life

[@polymorphicspector5452]

Petition to stream this for a future live stream? We'd all break down in laughter, I could barely get through this video without dying of laughter.

[@haouleo]

I legit don't think i've ever heard Mike having so much fun

[@dplind87]

Lol, Mike losing it made my morning!

[@Binary-]

Loving that intro. I'm sure they had to search very hard for the rare faceplants between all the amazing tricks and stunts we're about to see

[@saml6798]

Is no one else wondering at 1:13 what I s going on? 90s TV, computer, VHS and then bam a Mac book Pro on the table 😂

[@TheJspan]

I wanna say the game takes place in the 90's or atleast that's the vibe I get from it.

[@joma185]

There is a youtuber, Mitten Squad, who makes videos like "Can you beat Skyrim without taking any damage?" where he plays a character that has only one hit point. This video is obviously a homage to that guy.

[@gamehunter88]

Mike is right, a let's play of this crashfest was absolutely the right call. Now this is what we need a 5 ways to play of: the video will just be an hour of everyone laughing

[@BexTrokerKey]

This amount of chuckles and hearty belly laughs was just what I needed! 😁

[@CaporegimeMarcus]

This game is worth it just for all the ragdoll animations! Thanks for showcasing them Andy, we know that's whag you were aiming for XD

[@voltzoen6262]

6:36 It was the best trick ever, Andy. You made the character disappear!! Pure magic!

[@gloosey_]

I feel sorry for this random skater guy’s spine.

[@TheSynecducky]

My knees ache after watching this video. Legs should not bend like that.

[@nickypersnickety]

Mike's giggle!!! ☺😂

[@luketsimmons1982]

I am so glad this game doesn't have the crunch sounds of the rag-doll crumpling in a pile because I think both Mike and I would have required split side stitches within the first few minutes... amen to "realistic" games that completely fail the realism of the player character themselves 🙏

[@ARTURIEL]

I couldn't watch this in one go. I needed to rewind over and over to hear the presh laughs. So contagious. Hahaha. 🙆💕

[@Captain_Yesterday]

Please can this be one of the Christmas challenges?

[@jayfauley]

I’m only 40 seconds in and Mike has made a David S. Pumpkins reference. This is the content I signed up for XD UPDATE: just finished the video. I was not disappointed

[@yt_Ajay_]

7:10 I'm just happy Mike got a good laugh out of this game. You're doing amazing so far, Crea-ture Studios.

[@Conor2400]

Watched this again today and still just as funny!!

[@usbiv223]

@11:36 It’s fainting goat sim 1999!

[@cthulhufhtagn2483]

Ah yes. Just like in real life, when you gently bump into something, you instantly die. I have no idea how we're still alive.

[@katherinehunold1828]

That is a fairly accurate recreation of the actual Coleman skatepark in Manhattan, so kudos to the developers!

[@vitorta6696]

Hilarious video! Tell Mike this is the Assetto Corsa of skateboarding

[@eoghanmaguire9116]

I feel like Mike was that friend who would always tell the skater "you can totally do it" before they tried any move

[@gavdothie669]

Anyone else get an ad for Tony Hawk's Masterclass seminar on this video?

[@zelln7269]

Not just you, Mike. It's been a long time we've all lost it like that. A much needed laugh, I feel.

[@Mysticcocotheone]

I love the conflict of emotions I had while watching this video. A part of me wanted to chill due to the chill fm hiphop lofi music playing in the background and the other part of me wish there was some funny music being played for this whole entire video. Gosh this video made be cry laughing XD

[@LoJo]

Ever heard of the Benny Hillifier? 😏

[@timothyroush7589]

Sessions Skateboarding: The Skateboarding game that says "No, you're wrong" to Tony Hawk's Pro Skater.

[@RhysCake]

Why is the camera angle like that? Also the controls sound way too technical.

[@TheJspan]

You can customize the camera however you like they have a ton of settings for it. And controls are technical takes a couple hours to get usto but once u get it down more it's very rewarding

[@I_LIKE_TATERZ]

This game is still fun. It feels so good to land a trick because its NOT easy at first. Definitely recommend turning on some (or all) of the experimental features. It lets you do Late flips, Caspers, and my personal favorite, Darkslides!

[@brianschoner3350]

The game certainly appears realistic in that it captures how many times I would kill myself if I attempted to ride a skateboard...

[@marhawkman303]

Oh yes... It certainly seems to have the entire list of ways to hurt yourself with a skateboard.

[@Binary-]

Grind spines, bosses?

[@Ottertone]

Anyone suspect this might be a good Christmas challenge? I think it definitely should be...

[@Icam_here]

was the alternate title, that looks painful the game on account of the various ways you appear to be able to injure youself

[@Richardjohnson6969]

Skate 4 ain’t even out yet, how are you gonna compare them...

[@aticowico]

My thoughts exactly

[@Smorgasvord]

They need to get people to watch the video so they put Skate 4 in the title.

[@ghostderazgriz]

pretty sure it's rhetorical

[@WildfireMagni]

What was that skate park made of? Is orphans, boss...

[@dystopiian8223]

Goddamn it I miss skating. Andy talking about watching the Tony Hawk video then running outside to learn the trick. That's how I learnt all tricks I knew. Took me 3 days straight to land my first kickflip, running back and forth from the loungeroom to the garage. Texted my dad straight away when I landed it. Also, Mike, look up on KZbin the physics of a 360 flip.

[@janno1177]

can someone please tell Andy that you can't grind on staircases that are not continuous (like the red one in the end)?

[@ladyicondraco]

Is there already a list of the 7 games that are more fun to deliberately rag-doll? If not, this seems like it should be on one.
