this is my favourite skate game to play atm, this update makes it feel so good, i prefer to play this than session or sxl if i just wanna play something for a bit, idrc about there not being a full skater, i just don't understand how to do varial flips/tre flips
I get why some people don’t like the lack of a skater but damn you can’t deny the amount of love being put into this game. Having a replay editor, the level editing tools, multiplayer, physics settings, etc already is crazy
I can’t even play this and I agree. I’m a console player with basically only Session to play and while I’m loving that I still do wish we had more things rather than just some city’s…..like community maps
I can't help but feel like it's incredibly shallow for people to hate on the game for not having a skater. The gameplay is challenging, good and fun, it's just crazy to me that that can be entirely looked over and hated on simply because there's not a skater. I'd rather have this than some jank skater with horrible animations tbh.
Personal preference is fine, some people say they don’t like the look of the game and won’t play it, completely valid opinion to have. But some people choose to just hop on the hate train and blindly call this a bad game without even trying it. There is no room for hate and disrespect towards an indie game a couple of guys wanted to make, just say “not for me” and move on.
i like this game. it really feels like something new in the skateboarding game genre to me. The lack of character doesn't bother me at all. Decent character animation is no a small thing to pull off. Just look at session and XL. Both games have been around for a long time and the character animation is mid at best. I feel like this lets them focus on the actual trick mechanics much more. Ill keep playing this and look forward to seeing where it goes in the future.
My favorite fingerboard simulator will always be True Skate. If you click the “Realistic Mode” on, it makes you use your fingers like you would have to with a real board. Requiring you to level the board out and fight rocket flips. It’s actually insane for it being a mobile game, I just wish it was marketed better and the developers would better communicate with the community. It’s how I get my skate fix since crushing my L2 disc at work
The thing a lot of people don't understand about skating games is that adding the character is probably the hardest part of it. You need a really talented animator to make it look any good and it's really just not practical for small indie devs. Both Session and SXL animations were done by people that are very talented at what they do. Session had Mah who was a AAA developer for games like Assassins Creed (he's no longer with Creature) and SXL animations were done someone that has been doing specifically skateboarding animations for a long time. Hiring a good animator like that isn't cheap either. There's a lot of really difficult programming that goes into it also to make it all blend nicely together. So I get why they don't have the skater model in this game.
i like this game a lot in concept, but i don't play it much because it's still got some funky stuff going on. i feel like the physics are still a little too sensitive and the board is too difficult to control. it's significantly easier to control the board at 0.5 slowmo, but then the flip physics get weirder while in slowmo, and then coming out of slowmo completely breaks flip speed for some reason. it's also basically impossible to do a tre flip because the physics don't really work for combining different spins and flips of the board. that said, this last update SIGNIFICANTLY improved the feel of the game and i'm very much enjoying the direction its moving in and i've been playing it a lot more lately. i think by this time next year it will be in a fantastic place.
The update has made the gameplay better for me, since I love to grind rails and ledges, so I'm getting better at that. The lack of a full body is a letdown, but I did just see a mod on discord where someone added pants? I'd love if that could at least be implemented without a mod, but it might cause some visual problems when trying to set up a trick.
i was a HUGE skater xl fan with over 700hrs, the things that's really keeping me from buying this game right now is the grinds, they look just incomplete to me or something
I can't believe nobody is talking about how the board flips in a such a strange way? It's like it's flipping on the wrong axis which makes varials and tre flips almost impossible. Also the board isn't really flipping around it's center of mass, rather the board is flipping around the trucks kinda. I hope they can improve this because the concept of this game has so much potential, especially considering how well developed the rest of the game is. I don't even care that there's no skater model, it's just the flip physics that are too off for me.
Literally all I can see with this game is how wonky the board flips. I don’t mind the skater either but the board flip animations are definitely way off
Same here, I understand why there is no skater in TrueSkate but you still can turn him on in the replay. Here it seems like you can't reward yourself with a nice replay.
@@dizzlebeatz5774 it's not about how it looks, it's about how it feels to play. Imo, the level of challenge and fun here matches skating better and totally eclipses that of the skating in Session or SXL.
honestly this game is too sim for me. lol I think skating in real life is easier. It is an awesome idea, and the controls seem to work. Its just not for me. But I couldn't pass up an opportunity to atleast support.
Maybe because it literally is an unfinished game. Also as an indie studio they can allocate time more efficiently without having to worry about body animations
Sorry for the mic peaking and distorting a little throughout the video, idk what happened. Anyway, thoughts on SkateLab?
It looks awesome so far!
I didn't know about this game
Looks pretty awesome. Please bring it to consoles

I'm just glad it's starting to feel like the skateboarding genre is making a comeback
I'm not a fan of how snappy and off Ollie's and pops in general feel.
The socks are a weird move, but I actually like the shoes only look.
I definitely like the idea of it feeling more like a fingerboard! I understand why some would not like it.

Wouldnt say its shallow its just personal preferance

been loving this game since it launched on steam, hope to see more people hosting multiplayer lobbies
I would like if there was a skater but i do quite like it

I honestly just love any skating game. So I’d definitely get it
I am waiting for the flip to spin on the correct axis. Once they make the board to spin over the center of mass then the game might become playable
i was a HUGE skater xl fan with over 700hrs, the things that's really keeping me from buying this game right now is the grinds, they look just incomplete to me or something
I hope there’s a console release for this! I also get the vibe of a Fingerboard Sims 🔥

@@nofuturestudios It's the only reason I haven't bought the game. If they fixed this I could see this becoming one of my favorite games
Ur the best skate gamer keep it up❤
Thanks for what you do and everything you have done Pigeonthief. You are an amazing gamer, skateboarder, TH-camr and live streamer.
Visually isnt appealing without the skater for me, but cool to see it progress.
Love your videos man
i cant play it without a skater 🤷♂️

@@Parowowski Right its almost seem to be a non enjoyable game... and it dont look enteresting at all tbh 🤷♂️

@@durrik this game is better than session and skater xl ????
@@dizzlebeatz5774have you played it yet? It sounds like you haven't even played it and you're claiming it's a bad game because of no character model.
how do you get modded maps? my game doesnt have that option for community maps, do i install the mods manually beforehand?
Yes you do, then it will show that option
i actually bought it but its waaaay too early access so i just refounded it and wait till it gets cheaper because in this state its not worth 15euros
Is this on ps5?
It looks more like a prototype more than anything.
🔥🔥🔥
Nice.

Glad ur having fun man, looking forward to more and more updates. U might like the next update even more ;)
Can’t wait!
I mean this is how skater xl started but on mobile. Just no where near this good.
ooga booga
yoo
feels like a unfinished game and cheap way of copping out making animations and a good skating game
Maybe because it literally is an unfinished game. Also as an indie studio they can allocate time more efficiently without having to worry about body animations
@@EenergyWasHere i get what u saying but i just cant get into it xD
lol this game is garbage lol 😂 haven’t played it and I don’t like it already
Not liking something is fine, but hating on it is childish
You the type of person to not like avocados
@@EenergyWasHere this is too funny
