I love how open you guys are about the development, a breath of fresh air in this industry and it's getting me even more hyped for the game knowing that Devs are communicating and genuinely trying to craft an amazing experience

[@wesst.422]

For real! no cutscenes or pre rendereds, just straight forward skate gameplay! Extra points for including bails too! As awesome as it feels to roll out of a insane trick, those goofy ragdolls stick in your memory forever!

The realism play style looks so clean and the silly unrealistic style shas so much heart I love it. This update really shows how much they want to cater to both play styles. As someone who plays realistic I always love just glitching out to 10000 mph down a ramp and landing just the most ridiculous combo.

[@Ishment]

Looks like they’ve been working on the landing animations, some of those looked pretty realistic. Huge expectations for this game, really rooting for you guys at full circle

You can't look at 0:30 and tell me there's anything good about that landing animation. We want to play skate, not THPS. That looked like something out of a cartoon.

Gracias por esto chicos, el desarrollo como ya lo han dicho hace que este sea un juego el que no solo te inspira a patinar sino que , aunque no patinaras, despertarias tu interes ya que es un juego otalmente intuitivo y realista que, te hace sentir como viejos tiempos donde soñabas con tener un truco en la vida real luego de haberlo hecho en el jueo y eso le devuele la fantasia al videojuego

[@MegaPokomo]

Getting chills man, haven't been this excited about a game in a while. Thank you guys for the constant updates, can't wait to see what comes next

[@NaddiesFB]

Honestly I feel like skate lacks the impact when landing tricks. The skaters look too stiff. If they crouched more when landing or at least create some type of curve where the higher the drop the bigger the impact/crouch when landing. I also feel like when a trick is done flipping/spinning the feet are almost magnetized to the default position. If there was a way add variation in foot placement it would help with the natural flow of things. Also more gravity, slower explosiveness when going up/popping and less gravity/floaty when coming down. All these things could make so more aesthetically pleasing. Please consider this!!

[@flippinbirds6193]
