I love skate 3 and have been super excited since they announced the game was in development. I even played the alpha on PC but it was fairly sparse so there wasn’t much to do. I’ve heard the beta tests now are more filled in but I have yet to get invited to those ones.

Any other skate 1/2/3 fans? Any thoughts on the new game?

(For people out of the know, this is not a newly released game but it was announced in 2021 and has been steadily in development since.)

    I tried one of those and I thought it was way too bland. I think it was Skater XL? Session looks neat but I’ve heard it’s way too hard and I’m not really looking for a challenge

    And idk what you mean by “off board mechanics”? Hall of meat or…?

      Yeah the mechanics of skater XL are good but there’s no story or anything. I don’t think session is any harder than skater XL and it does have a story mode.

      Yeah, off board like hall of meats, parkor, building, etc.

        I’m ok with off board stuff. I thought it was fun to do when the points scoring got boring.

          Ah, yeah for me it’s all about the skateboarding and now that I’m used to the 2 stick trick system I don’t think I can go back to the skate 1 & 2 style.

          Im still excited to check out skate 3 and I hope it does well. Just feels like I’m not the target audience anymore.
