Those looking forward to the next entry into the Skate series will be able to try the game out for themselves soon, as EA has announced that the upcoming .skate will be releasing in early access in 2025. This will be the first Skate game in 15 years, following Skate 3 which released in 2010. It'll be a free to play game, with live service elements and microtransactions. More information about the early access release will be coming soon, following playtests for consoles and PC.

I played that alpha build and it's good, they nailed the physics and controls to the point where Session and Skater XL couldn't
frankly whether it's live service or not doesn't make a difference to me, so long as I can skate around and have fun in the map
that's all I ever played these games for, and when it goes offline? Someone will be there to take it offline, that's already the state the alpha exists in.
How does it compare to Skate 3, in terms of movement/controls and areas? Big thing in Skate 3 for me was the tiny little hidden areas, and the general atmosphere of Port Carverton.
They haven't added music yet, have they? I feel like those were big selling points of the first games, and I got a bit of my current taste from the Skate 3 soundtrack.

I was thinking they'll make this game online-only and there it is: F2P and Live Service.

These newer generations will eventually be unable to play games because of practices like these that make games unplayable (remember MAG on PS3? yeah can't play it).

I never made any direct correlations as I never thought about the two that much, but if the new one feels as good as I thought it did it must be pretty close to skate 3. The controls are tight and responsive, maybe with a little less heft iirc? With good recognition for what tricks are in the game at this point and collision works well too, there is no music yeah and the areas are a bit bare and small at this point but it's enough to spend a little time with and get some cool lines going. If you're curious it is floating around and it's something like a gig and a half. Worth noting that it was pretty old, from 2022 I think

Thanks, I'll check it out, I've signed up for the beta at the beginning but never got invited (or did and it's lost in a folder of a forgotten email)

What the fuck are you even talking about? How are those two things mutually exclusive in any way?

It's like making a comment about the Sun coming up every morning and being proud of it.

Not really. One is a near certainty, the other is a likelihood. And regardless of all that, this is a forum designed for discussion of gaming and adjacent topics. You want to talk about certainty, try not getting irritated when people discuss gaming. It's just conversation, leave people the fuck alone to talk about what they want.

    Dogging?

    Some are like the only use would be for exclusives
  • Veho @ Veho:
    You mean people are against the emulator?
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Weirdos.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Dogging? Gross.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    If they even get it 80% functional China would have a haydays with it not so much against it just not seeing full potential
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Low system requirements no need to hunt down firmware hacks etc
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @K3Nv2, So what you're saying is that PS4 emulators are lackluster compared to the real hardware?
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I get that people don't see the point of an emulator because 99% of the games can be found on other systems, but still, why the hell not? If people want to make an emulator, let 'em.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    If you want to hunt down hack able consoles it makes it lackluster but why if you can just download files and play
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I'm all for it imagine vita clones that can just load up bloodborn in a few minutes
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Veho, An emulator doesn't have to be great from the start, as long as it has constant updates regarding DRM and firmware updates, and improvements for compatibility, then there might be some people who would prefer to use it; rather than buy the hardware.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Ps4 is at the end of its life it just gets releases because Sony knows people would rather keep it over a ps5
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Don't ever think Vita clones have existed. The hardware is hacked anyways so somebody in China could make one. :P
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Like the Odin 2?
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @K3Nv2, Something like that, but with a much powerful SnapDragon CPU to handle PS4 games a lot better.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    There's a bunch of consoles with the same design, but there's no point in cloning the chipset, it's proprietary and outdated.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Been a similar cases to older powerful gen consoles. I remember when the Dreamcast emulators weren't all that stable for a few decades up until now.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Ps4 emulator is low system requirements like 1gb vram and 8gb ram

  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    My phone could probably run some games
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Only phone that I have is a Samsung, it can run NDS and N64 games at a decent framerate.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Cortex A55 processor at 2.0GHz and 4GB of RAM.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    So it's basically an Anbernic device
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    But with extra RAM rather than the 2GB.
