Im on Board
Hopefully they make it more RPG
Comin up you had to know somebody that could hardflip or variel heel YouTube was trash for learning new shyt in 07 and before then you had to have a vhs or dvd of your favorite team to pick up something or be inspired (shouts out to Kareem Campbell, Stevie Williams, TK, Jamie Thomas, all of Zero, Baker, Almost
)
The game shouldn’t tell you how to do something you should learn it in the world
You should have to practice it and get your stats up no loading in and doing a 720 laser to noseblunt off 20 stairs out the gate
when you play an online game of S.K.A.T.E you should see clear skill gaps like maybe this cat can’t skate switch maybe my Nollie off stairs is trash he can’t nosegrind I can’t feeble
But doing the shyt back to back and trying new moves in different settings should make you better
Slowly your ollies get higher and your 180 FS flips land cleaner
Make hall of meat something to think about like break an ankle lose a couple moves and come back with lower stats just get back on the board n put the time in
I want to see branching paths, like how there’s folks that dust everyone in your hood but never been sponsored or competed or the sponsor that isn’t as good as you but they met characters and made tapes
I want money to matter, make us buy everything from vans to cameras to bearings. I want actual shops. Let a new spot be unwaxed and add a mini game. I want the corner of shoes to get smooth or boards to chip and snap. Have a coop for filming parts or just group freeskate so the community can be more connected.
Make sponsorships have different levels of revenue from free boards with film or mag obligations to bread with competition placement
For the love of god no micro transactions.
