[@willhutton1516]

If you want to try out some games that have a similar soundtrack to skate 2, try out MX vs ATV Untamed, or Unleashed, as they both have killer soundtracks. 2 others that are more obscure. 1. Baja 1000 Xbox 360. Has shockwave just like skate 2, and many other punk rock music. 2. Nail’d. Has never been ported to the new-gen consoles, but damn was its soundtrack great. American Sixgun, Backyard Babies, Slave on Dope, Slipknot, Rise Against. So many good songs and a (surprisingly) good sounding OST collection that matches the vibe of the game.

They defined my childhood and my music taste today, skate 3 soundtrack became a big part of the backbone of songs and genres that i listen today. Nice to know more people with similar taste, it's so rare in my social spherez. What a great game!

[@papasmoak]

The "Kush Pop" was named by myself and player/friend OGKush. He was figuring out the glitch and teaching the community at the time how to do it. The amount of hours we've played together is countless and during those hours I said dude just name it The Kush Pop after your name and it stuck. A few graphics were made celebrating the new name. Love your content man.

[@Syphrus]

i watched all the kush pop compilations when I was 12. Glad you liked it

[@jordjordjord]

Videos not even out yet but I just want to say my opinion. I think the soundtrack really fits with the different environments and challenges we have to do. So many of the songs are included in this game due to their history in popular video parts from professionals. The soundtrack really exposed me to so many punk rap and indie acts at such a young age it was really a unique listen experience for any kid who loved skateboarding. I think it definitely doesn’t compare to other soundtracks from other games in this genre, but I think it’s safe to say some of these songs are still aging well today because of the impact of this game and how people thrive for that nostalgia Can’t wait to watch this and hear what you have to say

[@infinitetgaming]

Shimmy Shimmy Ya in Skate 2 just feels right. First time I remember hearing it in Skate 3 was after Josh Kalis whooped my ass in the Maloof Money Cup Street Comp by getting a 2k point grind. Fittingly, the Maloof Money Cup map was originally in Skate 2.

[@scottcooper9123]

I think the first Skate has the best ambient music out of the 3. Tommy Guerrero, XXXChange, and Z-Trip all made really great ambient music to skate to if you set the music to "environmental". It really set the tone for the whole game, which I'd argue has the most relaxing vibe of the series. I didn't feel like Skate 2 or 3's ambient music came close at all to the vibes of the first game.

[@whatareyoudoingthis4]

Skate 1 absolutely felt the most like a true piece of skateboarding culture, skate 2 too but at 3 it just felt like a commercialised shitshow even though there's some absolutely great tracks

[@gavinrolls1054]

skate 2's ambient music was good too

[@stucklock7514]

A Lot of the songs in the soundtracks are there because they were used in skate videos, like the song in marc Johnson's fully flared part (Goodbye Horses) was used in skate 3. And the song in Eric Koston's fully flared part (Harder than you think by public enemy) was used in skate 2. Oh yeah and the song in Paul Rodriguez's Yeah right part (Made you Look by NAS) was used in skate 2.

Though, I remember loving the soundtrack regardless. Even if my memory is hazy 😭

I think that of all the time that I played Skate 3 I just enjoyed one song and it was "Eyes of a Panther". And I didn't care much about the soundtrack either way cause I would just put headphones and listen to my music. But I agree that the Skate 3 Soundtrack feels a little weak compared to other games.

[@pwnt39]

I wonder how many copyright strikes this video will get

[@cmdpnt]

honestly i feel a lot of the same way about the whole feel of skate 3. growing up with 2 for the longest time prob made it attach more but it just has a completely different feel that i like a lot more. was really hoping when they announced the new one it would be more similar to 1 or 2 in feel but really not sure with how much skate 3 took off.

[@stiffeyelens]

There's one thing i think you missed in this video that i think is super important. A lot of the music in the skate games are songs that are in legendary skate videos / parts. "Going Up Country" was used in Clark Hassler's part in Enjoi's "Bag of Suck" video. If you've ever seen that gif of a dude doing a tre flip then flying into the sky, that's where that comes from. That being said, i think the environment thing has more to do w/ the game rather than the soundtrack. Still a great vid tho!

[@F11N]

That’s a hot take of which I strongly disagree with, there is a lot of very good music and even promotes small music groups like the demonics, who I found through skate three and now thoroughly enjoy

[@soren_prod]

dude to see you still on youtube after all these years still doing skate 3 content, love the consistency

[@afecx8249]

this game definitely does not have the best soundtrack out of the 3 but this video was more rambling about EVERYTHING but skate 3s soundtrack. To say the soundtrack doesn't match an enviroment is silly, for the reason that if you just watch hundreds of different peoples skate videos the genres of the music change even when the environment is the same (example of different people doing tricks in the same spots) Also add that orange grunge filter that skate 2 has to anything it will always look/feel better its just the way humans see it

[@gavinrolls1054]

he wasnt talking about the environment. he was talking about atmosphere which skate 3 completely lacks.

[@JarbasTardo]

The skate 2 soundtrack is absolutely transcendent and unbeatlable, but I think the skate 3 soundtrack is alright, the biggest problem really is what you said about the atmosphere of the game and that it's completely absent, so the music really just doesn't hit like it should... Personally I do think that the choice of tracks could've been a lot better, but it wouldn't fix the previously mentioned fundamental issue of the empty atmosphere. When I play skate 2, It feels like I'm visiting an old friend and immediately getting along with them, but when I play skate 3 it feels like meeting a coworker and making small talk just so the silence doesn't get weird. The game itself is amazing, but the vibes are seriously off, which is kinda disappointing.

[@LaendonCaelum]

Honestly, the only song I play when I put the music volume up on Skate 3 is Lovers Leap by Bim Sherman, I'm now a big fan thanks to this game. I too agree that Skate 3 is just too dystopic although I played a lot of it before trying Skate 1. I wanted 2 but it isn't available anymore, and I couldn't be more surprised, I miss getting off my board but Skate 1 us just more grounded and feels way smoother.

Skate 1 had some bangers too, skate 3 a few good ones, but damn... Listening to: The Clash - Death Or Glory Underground Railroad To Candyland - Square Ball Stiff Little Fingers - Alternative Ulster could almost make me cry from nostalgia. The environment aspect was also really interesting! Couldnt agree more with everything in this video. Skate 2 was my childhood and so was the soundtrack of it.

It's crazy how much more perfect of a game Skate 3 would be to me if it didn't feel like I was in purgatory where the sun never moves, the sky never changes from a nauseating blue, and there is never any weather change. I don't know how to explain it, but there is no vibe in Skate 3. And it sucks because in every other way, it's my favorite skating game, no other game in the genre feels as satisfying to play. The atmosphere of the game is truly bland, plastic, and fake compared to Skate 2. I really hope the new skate game delivers with things like the ability to change the weather and time of day, especially considering one of the main draws to the game for a lot of people is creating footage, montages, photos, etc.

For me, even after not having my xbox 360 for over 6 years at this point, Skate 3 is the game that has the most songs on my playlist today, after all these years, songs that i would never know otherwise like Goodbye Horses and Right Place Wrong Time, it introduced me to Joy Division as well, so itll always mean a lot to me.

[@sir380]

That ssx 3 section was literally what my experience was with the game and its soundtrack.

[@abg9685]

Specifically regarding that ending segment... I agreed that every song fit better in Skate 2, but I feel like the songs fit because of the visual filters that Skate 2 had vs how clean Skate 3 looks. I feel like if Skate 3 had similar visual filters, then the songs might fit better. P.S. We let Chuck party hard in this household.

[@afecx8249]

just throw that same orangey grunge filter on anything and you will agree just the way people honestly look at things

SSX 3's soundtrack matches the game itself for a fairly good reason: it's in-universe the biggest snowboarding competition of the history of the world. Atomika mentions in the opening that they took like a whole year to prepare the mountain (a mountain where people live in, no less) in order to create the finest snowboarding competition possible. So of course the bangers fit well with the setting, it's aiming for the peak of the sport on itself.

[@maxa1451]

Not only is the skate 3 soundtrack incredible but the interactive music fits it SO well.

I’ve forgotten most of Skate 2’s soundtrack other than letting me be myself again just because it played in the demo, which I played a trillion times before I got the game. I got Skate IT before I got Skate 2, other than my first ever all nighter where I “one more mission’d” my way through the entire game at my cousin’s house while he was asleep. I do dislike most of Skate 3’s soundtrack, except for maybe 10 songs that are still active. Eyes of the Panther was supposed to be a joke but it’s a jam, Almost Ready missed its bus on the way to Regular Show, and the line “God bless unconsciousness” is hilarious when you’re jumping off a building and intentionally splitting your head open.

[@funkmonk0562]

I always hated immortal. It was usually the only song I turned off.

I've often said I would love Skate 1's sound track in Skate 2's map, with skate 3's gameplay. Skate 1 and 2 have superior soundtracks to Skate 3, as they fit the "skate" vibe more. I had half the soundtrack muted in Skate 3.

[@LavenderRebellin]

Yeah, Skate 3's weakest component is definitely the atmosphere. I feel people make the "Skate 3 takes place in the afterlife" is because of bland, lifeless and boring it is. The time of day doesn't change either (in the base game at least) so that's another argument for it. I love Skate 3 for how broken it is but Skate 2 will always be superior

[@youtubeaccountlol4942]

That's more related to the world design itself and EA crunch. Really has nothing to do with the soundtrack when you break down the mediocrities of Skate3. You could argue that soundtracks need to provide atmosphere (which I agree) but that's in the context of a already fulfilling world. Soundscapes are the cherry on top of world design and I think (as you mentioned) poor shadowing, like warm AI and no time progression suck a lot of the 'life' out of it. The only thing that brings any vibe back at all is the music

Comin’ Home and Summertime Clothes are also two songs that would fit better in Skate 2 rather than Skate 3

@@Syphrus yeah went into the hospital, sadly didn’t walk out. It was a heart related issue.

Tbh all of the soundtracks kinda feel somewhat generic to me when it comes to the vibe. I still love all of the soundtracks equally (minus Skate It, istg if I hear For Kristoffer one more time I'm blowing my disc). Also Mad Society isn't an IOS exclusive song, its on the Wii verson aswell. EDIT: hell yeah ssx 3 is amazing

[@gavinrolls1054]

well this one is for kristoffer he hadn't knew just why it came a second beating and a one-time lover, the first of us to die with no name.

My favorite soundtracks is Skate 1 followed by Skate 2 and Skate 3 in that order game play Skate 3 is my favorite followed by 2 and 1 opening cut scenes are the hardest one to rank for me but really enjoyed the live action openings
