SKATE 2 is better than SKATE 3

▲▲▲ Subscribe ▲▲▲
This video points out the things Skate 2 did better than Skate 3.
Skate 3 sure has some greater features (new tricks, custom Parks etc.) but there are many parts in which Skate 3 got worse.
Overall the whole game doesn't feel so alive in comparisson to Skate 2.
Skate 2 has a greater love to detail, realism and overall gameplay value.
There has always been something I missed when I played Skate 3 and this video shows excactly why I feel so.
Skate 3 still is a great game and I surely will continue to upload skate 3 videos. This video is just something I always wanted to make.
If you enjoyed the video be sure to drop a Like and comment for more comparissons and other Skate 3 Content :)
This video is inspired by Crowbcat's ,,GTA IV is better than GTA V" video.

EDIT: -you are a skate 3 hater! : No I'm playing this game since the day it came out and truly love it. Skate 3 still is my favourite game, this video is simply there to show that sadly some of skate 2's nice features got rid of in skate 3. -Realistic Challenges: I understand that some people like these unrealistic challenges more so I admit that this one is very biased. -Big Black: Many people argue that i can't complain that skate 3 is unrealistic if i like Big Black who bounces up in the air. But Big Black is only playable in freeskate and therefore has no effect on the realism of the challenges. I just want to point out that it is kinda sad that they got rid of this fun feature in skate 3. -Build your own spot: Sure in skate 3 you basically can build you own spot by building your own park ...but my point is that they again got rid of this nice feature...why not park building and your own spot ? -Skate stoppers: It is not a bad thing that everything in skate 3 is already skateable ...it still was an extra challenge to make everything skateable in skate 2 ...one fun challenge less. -No sewage covers: This is just another example to show that skate 3 doesn't feel so alive like skate 2. I understand that some of you might not care so much about the details, big black or special mission, but for me these things show that the developer put their heart in to skate 2. No matter what view you have, please be respectful to those who have a different view.

Skate 2 feels like you're skating in the real world whereas skate 3 feels like a skating simulator. However, skate 3 does feel nicer to skate in. Hopefully, skate 4 will have the right balance as they have had 11 years to develop it instead of 1 year.

[@nathanlaporte3415]

I mean yeah there's a big gap from skate 3 to the announcement of skate 4 but it's more then likely been in development for the last year or 2 at best to me I don't think we were ever gonna see a skate 4 and we only are now because Tony hawk made a come back and there was session and skater xl so EA probably thought it was best to do another skate game .

While I agree with most of these points there’s something to be said, it really depends on what kind of game you’re looking for. Skate 2 has better quality of life and realistic elements for street skating, while skate 3 focuses more on the huge mega parks. If your looking for a cool realistic street skating game then skate 2 is better by far, but if you want to drop 100 feet and go flying into 3 front flips, skate 3 is your game. It’s all up to preference.

[@TwentyTimes]

I'd say skate 3 is a lot more polished and cleaner than skate 2. In terms of tricks etc

[@builderblizzard]

But if you really look into it, the game is meant for optimization. There are certain things like the door sizing that were basically rushed, and the 2D crowd along with bushes that are images, just make it seem unfinished. Skate 2 really looks like there was time actually spent working on the environment and trying to make it actually look like a town that you would pass by. With Skate 3 there are no visible exits, just a grass boundary. Also, they the attention that they spent on Skate 3 is much less compared to Skate 2. You can't go out of bounds for more than 30 feet, and if you do, you are teleported back into the playable area. But if you walk off the road you can find new spots that you can actually use and not just completely ignore. Skate 3 in terms of tricks is practically the same as Skate 2. What did we get new? Dog Piss.

[@mizzox5924]

@@builderblizzard its called optimization bro. I cant defend the door thing, but everything else is so the game can run smoother. Skate 2 runs at 30 fps where as skate 3 is 60fps. The cap at 30 gave them a lot more leeway for graphical enhancements and things like polish. Skate 3, because they chose to make it a 60fps game, there had to be sacrifices to trade off as a more responsive skate experience. Things like the bushes and the audience are most likely not “rushed” and “unpolished” theyre probably like that so the game can get more fps. In otherwords they downscaled the graphics so the game can run better. It doesnt look great but its what they had to do for the 60fps.

Skate 2 was a big help in my life growing up. I've had amazing times on it. Those metal rails on the vine wood sign that lead down to the grass area, I've grinded all the way down it with my friends. Many fun times on that game. Your ending was beautiful and brought back so many memories. Well done

[@denizefeyilmaz1111]

I've been playing both games for a long time and i can say that you really feel like you're in a city in Skate 2, especially if you consider your main goal in the game is making yourself known as a skater and earning money to build a skatepark in the middle of the city (monster clubhouse) whereas in Skate 3, it feels like you're in a huge skatepark that happens to have some buildings and cars inside it. The comparison of the Megaparks points this out pretty good. In Skate 2 it looks like Danny Way and his friends grabbed a hammer and some nails and went to work on the mountainside. In Skate 3 however, it's just another big ass park you can recreate in the in-game feature. What I mean by all this is that Skate 2 has an authenticity to it. The camera angles of the games (fisheye lens in skate 2) are enough to prove this. So if you wanna feel like an actual skater and film some clips that look like old parts from the early '90s, Skate 2 is the game for you. But of course, you can always go to Skate 3 if you want to do a quad heelflip dark catch miracle whip frontflip 540 down a 30-stair.

[@noreenislam5340]

i haven’t got skate for yet but it should be all of the good things in skate 2 combined with all of the good things in skate 3

[@themadhattress5008]

Skate 2 was actually challenging. It took me months of probably constant gameplay (which wasn't even totally possible due to school and shit). I still haven't beaten every little thing in Skate 2. In Skate 3, it took me less than a month with the same conditions to beat it. I sold my copy of Skate 3 when I realized it wasn't as good. I eventually bought it again just because, and I ended up beating it even quicker than before. Skate 2 actually has some sort of story. Skate 3 has barely anything. It's like they didn't put any effort into Skate 3. That's not saying much because Skate 2 is just a re-hashed version of San Van from Skate 1 (except they took out a lot of the more unique and otherwise cool elements of the city), but I digress. Another thing that shows how little they gave a fuck when making Skate 3 -- it came out only a year after Skate 2. Skate 2 came out 2 years after Skate 1. Skate 2 seemed to be genuine and actually had a lot of care put into it. Skate 3 just feels so far removed from Skate 1 and Skate 2. Blackbox wasn't a good developer by any means, but when they really tried in the first two games, it showed. I mean, Skate 2 felt much more organic. Skate 3 felt more synthetic.

[@DIzE]

The Mad Hattress Totally agree :) Skate 2 took Me months to complete but when skate 3 came out it took me like 3days to finish it...and I remember how disappointed I was because of the ending which didn't felt like a real ending ... Skate 3 could have been a very good game if they just wouldn't have rushed it so fast ... One thing I just now realized is that in skate 2 you actually unlock new parks (fun track, GvR, training park etc) but in skate 3 you barely get anything for beating the game ...

[@wendybunn2862]

It was to make it feel more realistic and skate 3 was honestly just dry and boring, it was too empty and small. In skate 1 and 2 the world seemed way more alive when compared to skate 3. The only thing that made skate 3 decent were the funny glitches, besides that it was just an extremely watered down version of skate 2

basically 3 is a bad game in the franchise, the idea Of the first game was to reply to Tony Hawk "Hey!!

[@pmstuff8420]

Personally, I like Skate 2 better than Skate 3, but I feel like you didn't really give justice here, and like you ignored some stuff, some that you maybe didn't even know about. The loading screens: I agree New/Hidden areas: In Skate 3, go to the quarry, go down it and on the second stone quarterpipes, behind some bush, hidden pathway. Poles: There are less poles and hydrants in Skate 3, but the fire hydrants on the grass down to the carvatron bowl are just fine, there are also some yellow poles in the Industrial District that are skatable, but not easy, much like hydrants in real life. Challenges: There are realistic challenges in both games, you also compared a tutorial to a challenge later in the game, which just isn't a fair comparison. BB: True, but he wasn't a skater. Physics: You seem to have been in Easy mode, when Normal is the same physics as Skate 2, in my testing, on Normal mode, I fell unless I went really slow, when you're going as slow as I was, I'd say it's fair, because of this trick IRL called "Firecracker", in the "Go fast against a curb" test, I wouldn't say any of them are realistic at all, I'd say both are equally unrealistic but on different ends of the spectrum (basing that judgement on a real life experience). Layout: I agree. BYOS: In Skate 3 you can physically make your own spot, it doesn't need an online function to work. Skate stoppers: The stories are VASTLY different, that's the reason for this, in Skate 3, skateboarding is a widely spectated and accepted sport, in Skate 2 it's practically illegal. Spillway(Sewer): While it is true, I'd rather compare the Skate 2 spillway to the spillway in Skate 3, rather than the university ditch, even though it is still true. Sewage cover: I'm not gonna go and look for sewage covers, but I can't recall seeing any, this is just lazy texture work, but it might be because of a budget cut, or time pressure, I'm not gonna put the blame on Black Box for this. Street construction: Can't recall seeing any in Skate 3, but I can't recall noticing in Skate 2 either. Tunnels: There are tunnels in Skate 3, if you turn around from the Daly Estates spawn and walk up, there's a tunnel on your skater's right hand side, but the reason you don't see them as much is because the game is a LOT more open, with wide areas to skate in etc.. Crowd: True, but an explanation for why will come later in the comment*. Door sizing: In some places, doors tend to be too big in Skate 3, that is very true. Reflections and details overall: All of this is true*. Megapark: True, but we've also had the same megapark two games in a row, and the Skate 3 one was a lot less linear. City: Skate 3 has 3 maps though. *: A lot of these downgrades was made to improve the framerate and the more sluggish-feeling controls of Skate 2, Skate 3 is a lot more responsive, therefore, when I ask people "Skate 1, 2, 3 or IT?" The most frequent answer I get is "Skate 1 & Skate 2 with the controls of Skate 3...wtf is Skate IT?" Final words: The worlds of Skate 1/2 and Skate 3 are vastly different. The worlds of Skate 1/2 are real cities with a bunch of skate spots scattered EVERYWHERE, a city that would make any street skater happy, vert skaters do kinda get left out though. The world of Skate 3 is built more as a skater's utopia, also, vert/bowl skaters get a lot more stuff. Personally, I love both games, and like Skate 2 and 1 a slight bit more, but that's because it feels like the tricks go a bit smoother together and I feel like the games flow a bit better.
