EA Skate - Another Tool in the Goofy Propaganda Machine?
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 14 авг 2024
- I'm happy to finally do a full review of this game for the channel! I really enjoyed it for the most part, but there are a few issues with this game... especially the way that it REALLY REALLY wants you to be goofy.
Skate is the most realistic skateboarding game that had been released up until 2007, and possibly ever. I'll cover the rest of the games in the near future and figure out which one of them is the best.

As a goofy skater:
*Rubs Hands Together And Laughs Malevolently*
Well, I skated Goofy and I'd like to point out that American Wasteland forces you to skate Regular, which bothered me just as much.
Grzegorz Sokólski EXACTLY!
it does, all 5 of the default career skaters are regular
Most of the pro’s had their stances wrongly assigned in THAW too and it really irked me as a kid.
But American wasteland made almost all pros goofy. A goofy Andrew Reynolds? Bs
@@JoeBug it had tony doing a 900 in regular too lol
I have fond memories when it comes to Skate 1. I still remember being blown away by the first trailer back in 2007. I never seen anything like it, and since I was a skater it immediately caught my attention. I will never forget Christmas Day of 2007 when I got an Xbox 360 Elite with a copy of this game. Once I set it up to my shitty 90's TV I was absolutely blown away by it. Saying the game lived up to my expectations would be an understatement, I never played anything like it before. I also remember going up to the Factory skatepark in Dundee and skating a marble box that had a plaque attached to it with the Ea Skate logo. There was marble blocks designed for skateboarding put in skateparks across the UK to promote the game, and I'm happy to say that I was lucky enough to skate one of them. This is why I love Skate 1. I was there from the start, and I don't think that there will ever be a game that will catch my attention the same way again. I really liked Skate 2, but it didn't feel as unique to me as its predecessor. I don't really care for Skate 3 as that game does feel way too cartoony and it has kids doing that god awful tricklining rubbish thanks to the douchebag that is X7 Albert . Anyway, good video as always, Rad Rat. Looking forward to watching more of your reviews.
Skate 2 was my favorite by far. The city was still open and greatly improved from Skate 1. You could get off your board. Best soundtrack. And your skater could get beat up from bailing too much. Though I do think Skate 3 has the best control.
True. Although what I found was frustrating was how the camera would zoom out when chased by a guard. Although this made it easier to see around you and avoid the guards compared to the default low camera, skating with a camera that zoomed out felt really arcade. Apart from that I loved it and it gave a great feel to the game.
I preferred skate 1s soundtrack
So at the time of this comment I played skate 3 every once in a while then I lost my disk 2 years later I bore myself playing that game u can play for one day and remember the entire map which isn't even worth exploring,it is boring and is a downgrade from any other of the other skate games
I miss the security chases from Skate 1 and 2... if you had skate 3, with Skate 1 and 2's world... with the security and skate stop stuff... would be perfect
Skate 1 had the best soundtrack but skate 2 is by far the best game aside from the soundtrack
IMO, Skate 1 had the best soundtrack, Skate 2 had the best environment, and Skate 3 had the best gameplay mechanics. I wish there was some way to get some sort of Frankenstein monster video game out of all 3 of them.
skate 2 had a good soundtrack as well, but skate 3 wasn't too good with the bails.
Maybe in Skate 4 scheduled for 2028
Roger Flores you are spot on with that i liked 3 but it had the worst map and campain compared to the other 2 but had the most tricks
This is why I always wanted a skate 4 from the jump so we could get all 3 put into one .... but sadly that never happened 😪
Yeah that would be crazy something like skate 4
That moment when there are three achievements for this game you'll never get because EA Nation closed down 😢
Forever 47/50
Just one more reason
to throw on the huge, flaming dumpster-heap of reasons
as to why EA
are the fkn WORST! \🙄/
Skate 1 is still my favorite. It is the prettiest and purest. I would love a 60fps port on some modern systems... PC why not!
Yeah skate 1 is awesome
Its compatible on the Xbox One which is as close as it gets to playing it on the modern systems so...
I have skate 1 on my pc with a ps3 emulator
The lowest I got was 30 FPS
Dude my Dude I have skate 3 on my pc and I don’t go under 60
_ lucatron48 _ I have Skate 2 on my PC and it averages 10 - 20 FPS
i almost died of laughter at that title. i felt the exact same way about the default goofy stance. it is weird for people who don't understand stance. i was playing this online freeskate back in the day and someone asked me how to do some trick, i dont remember, and i asked him what his stance was. he didnt know what i was talking about. it was very hard to explain.
Hey Rad Rat! Just wanted to say, as a 30 something year old ex-skateboarder, you are the only RUclipsr whose content I actually wait! Also you seem like a very likable person.
All the best from Finland.
PS. Also Skate 2 is the best in the series, clearly.
Näin se kyllä on.
Näin se on.
Skate 2 is my favorite. But I have the most fond memories of the first one.
Skate 3 was a lazy cash grab that killed the community. Only positives were slightly improved graphics and stable 60 fps.
M L i've always thought Skate 3's graphics looked a bit too much like a cartoon compared to Skate 2's somewhat realistic graphics
exactly
Skate 3 had hardcore mode, and park creator. Definitely spent my most time on Skate 3, but I get your point. Nothing beats the original San Van, also the soundtrack on Skate 1 was god tier
M L Skate was fun but he environment of Skate 2 was much better and the guard system was awesome having to get around gaurds to get to cool skate spots
Literally the only 2 bad things about skate 2 was the off board controls, how you can only jog and not much else. And the fact that body flips were damn near impossible to land compared to skate 3. Im still most definitely in love with the game and play it often due to the realistic feeling of skating the ghetto ran down places, the 24/7 beautiful sunset scenery in which the sun could sometime outshine the camera lense, and the art of finessing Mongo Corp lol (the security), skate 3 was definitely rushed in my opinion, but they did add alot of great improvements. But overall they lost the support of real skaters after they forced us to move to corny Port Carverton where its perfect weather and literally everything in the streets are from a skatepark, it was just too perfect and not grimy enough to feel authentic. I missed the hustle of finding hard to make spots and what not. Only serious improvement was the Park maker. Two thumbs up for that. Well anyways they need to bring back San Van. EA made so much money off of the Skate series, i have no idea why they would just abandon it smh.
17:58 lmao coming here after skate 4 announcement and im hyped
that hippie flip was dope!!! I spent hours in 2 trying to hippie flip bump to bars and would almost never get them
I Never Realised That Goofy Was The Default Setting Due To Skating Goofy Myself!
SKATE 1 is my favorite of the series. Loved the soundtrack, loved almost everything about the game. 2 was a step up in tricks and off the board, but I didn't like it nearly as much. 3 is fairly boring to me. Nothing will be the first game (for me).
I was surprised you said Joe Moore I see him around all the time I didn't know he was known out of the UK
instagram
@@jackcowling3314 even so joe moore is one of the best uk skaters and is in some not so well known footage on youtube search up micklefield skate park summers day and youll see some good stuff
I know about him because of Brett Novak’s “short skate film” he had Joe in.
Love me some Thrasher: Skate and Destroy. One of my top five favorite games of all-time!
Same.
i just watched a 20 minute review on a game i've already put 10000 hours into. the love is real! anyone remember when the timed demo came out? i probably put 100 hours just into that park. that park was my fave place to skate even after the full game came out. community centre for life! great video.
Hippy flips are definitely an intended feature, in one of the pro intros (I want to say it’s Jason Dill) they’re actually shown doing a hippy flip at that same location
6:32 - Can you imagine a game where you had to work up courage to do big gaps, like a skate RPG where you had to level up a charisma stat to pull of risky gap other wise your skate refuses to do the gap?
Skate 2 was such a good game. Me and the lads had soooo much fun with the HALL OF MEAT thing. My mates werent skaters so they loved playing that! It was so well done that mode.
As a goofy skater I always make my character goofy and i start challenges regular sometimes i think you just start in the wrong stance sometimes no matter what your stance is it must be a glitch or something
just about everything you said was bad about it is what makes it great in my opinion (except for always respawning goody, thats trash). the pedestrians and cars in deathraces actually makes it a challenge, anyone can bomb a hill when you have perfect balance in a game. the other people in contests means you actually have to time and plan your runs. and not knowing if your opponent is gunna stack or match your trick in SKATE makes you actually challenge yourself and try a trick that you might not be comfortable with flicking. just like in real games of skate. all these things make it more realistic and fun. and as for skating an empty shell of a city with no people, cars, or security, i couldnt think of anything worse.
One of the few youtubers I know of who dont come off as fake and annoying when they ask you to subscribe in the beginning of videos.
He simply says what goes on here, and to subscribe if you want.
Nothing pushy about it, And thats rare out here.
I can't wait to see you Jam with Danny Way in Skate 2. That took me forever but it was so goddamn satisfying when I finally beat him 2 - 1
wow I just realized it been over 10 years since i played this game. I miss it so much.
Buy it
Reminds me of skate 3. It doesn't switch your stance on challenges, but if you're regular, and do a film or photo, your back will be facing the camera, which, imo doesn't look too great. Not to mention, they have a counter for Mongo pushes.
Skate 3 definitely has the best game mechanics. It runs so smooth even to this day. The original has the best city for sure, though. Skate 2 was good, and I like the city more than 3, but something about it makes me gravitate to the other two. Keep in mind when I got my ps3 the only game I had for a solid year was skate. That was honestly all I played, so naturally I was super pumped when skate 2 came out and probably overplayed it even more than the original. Oh, and 3 had the best challenges. Like "kill the spot" is really cool, and in some cases pretty challenging.
I'm 32 never skated a day in my life but still watch your videos dude. Loved skate 2 and 3
This game will always remind me of the first time I played it.
Friday night in 2007, just after it was released. 15 years old, Wendy’s Baconator for dinner, played this for hours and fell asleep watching “300”, rented on dvd from Hollywood Video. Simpler times, man.
Sounds like a good night bro
I still play EA Skate after 10 years, but Skate 2 is my favorite. 3 added on plenty of features, but the game did not feel complete.
There are so many hidden spots in this game that I’m still finding today and you can only get to them using the pop glitches
I JUST REALIZED YOU CAN DO PIVOTS WHILE IN MANUALS OMG
That goofy glitch is the weirdest thing ive ever seen. Ive played this game so many hours and never experienced that while my stace was regular
You need to review some BMX games, like the Matt Hoffman's and Dave Mirra's pro bmx games, Downhill domination or even... idk... BMX XXX?
BMX XXX was fun and crazy af... also it has a big selling point. 🍊🍊😅 such a classic. 😁
6:32 Alright, so this man literally just explained the best part about the EA Skate series haha
My favourite game of the series is skate 3 just because of the bigger map, more advanced Tricks and an optimized replay editor. I spent so much time filming there :D. The spots are a little bit too clean though, but they got in a nice mix of different looks.
lmao love the title. I always wondered why goofy was standard in that game.
Hate At Chee Because it is the best stance. XD
@@SEVENTEENPOINT1 yeah you're right man. People who write with their right hand but flick their skate boards with their left foot are just plain goofy.
I really have been enjoying your vids for quite some time!! Keep up the good work RadRat!! 👍👌
I love all Skate games but especially #3. The city was a letdown but boy oh boy, that hardcore mode. Getting used to hardcore mode made it really hard going back to the older games.
Literally the only 2 bad things about skate 2 was the off board controls, how you can only jog and not much else. And the fact that body flips were damn near impossible to land compared to skate 3.

im pretty sure the hippy flips were put in the game, if i remember correctly, there is one in the intro sequence to the game. Its some guy doing one on a bank i think?
P00RKN0W yeah it was in the game
Mark Gonzales does it in his pro challenge intro video
EA Skate games of S.K.A.T.E. were a huge deal between me and my friends back in the day. And I gained PS3 friends through playing that mode online. And the Big Air or trick contest or whatever it was.. I, for one, loved those modes.
"There's not gonna be a skate 4..."
I'm aboutta ruin this whole man's career
Skate 2 is the best to this day because the physics are not restricted.
And now that all three games are backwards compatible on Xbox it's time to rewatch all of your Skate videos
If they left out the ability to push mongo (take your front foot off of the board) you wouldn't be able to no-comply. Amongst other things. Like certain foot plant or grab variations or ollie norths. Good job EA. You did it right. You should know better rad rat.
Evan Effertz couldn’t do any of that in skate 1 anyway
Skate 2 no comply’s looked terrible; super slow and you get insane height for no reason. Mongo footy just helped people see who were gamers and skaters who played skate
Screw that 360 Flip to FS Crooked challenge. I had to do that shit for hours just to finally pass it.
Finally. Skate 1 is backwards compatible on Xbox One, and Skate 4 is in development!
I've been skating goofy mongo forever...like before this guy was born. so now y'all know how it feels to have to play a game regular with a normal push... hahahaha
Skate broke tony hawk for me.
I remember downloading Skate. demo on X360, that had only a small area and was limited to 20 minutes per play , I think. I played the demo pretty much everyday until the game came out...
Skate 2 would be the best if it wasn't for the AWFUL controls when walking
Noah Zimmerer the walking wasn't awful. It was just jaggy as shit but still a little functional
Jackass For me atleast, when I press a direction it takes 1/2 of a second until I finally move. It's so bad.
Noah Zimmerer that's your tv, playboy.
PhattBudz Then why does it work just fine in Skate 3?
I remember I had to set all my skaters to goofy on THUG
I just recently saw a Tony Hawk interview where he sorta went off about how "regular" isn't regular cuz 80% (or something) of ppl skate "goofy", "But whatever".
Skate 1 and skate 2 soundtrack= pure fire
Skate 3 soundtrack= some good songs but not as good
Skate 3 soundtrack was hella weak
can't speak for skate 1 but skate 2 and 3 death races are some of my favourite shit to do in the game...especially online
Since a skate installment got confirmed, i just hope they get those chunky wood sounds back
Crazy to think I was 10 years old when this game out, I remember loving everything about it. Playing it again earlier this year showed me that the star of the game is the mechanics and not the mission design. Deathraces were so dreadful, especially without the ability to set it to a high camera.
S.K.A.T.E. was fun online! I think because people weren't acclimated to the controls. Trying to do someone's hardflip was a challenge back then. I even gained some PSN buddies that just liked to play Skate online. Of course, nowadays people have mastered the controls.
if you do a 540 rotation in the game of skate challenges they will get a letter every time, so ollie 540, k flip 540 ect. ect. you will win every time
I gave up that 5-0 to tail slide challenge and gave up EA Skate completely all because I didn't know about needing to be in goofy :/
Been playing it again since it’s on game pass on Xbox. Finally did it haha almost forgot about the goofy thing. Got to the x games yesterday, was pretty fun and I think I love it more than skate 3.
I'm goofy stance when I skate and I prefer to use goofy skaters on skateboard games. I guess it makes sense since I'm also left handed.
There was a glitch that I (might) have found on skate 1. this was like 2011. I managed to get on top of the subway sign and I ollied off of it. But right before I landed, I did a manual. I shot across the map for like 150ft and (of course) bailed.
Iv played them all beaten everything but still never managed to pull off one hippy flip 😂
James Twigg facts 😂
4th Skate now in development.
I skate Goofy in all games now because of learning the tut in Goofy, I skate regular in real life lol
It's funny, EA went from including hippy flips as a mistake (?) to outright advertising them in Skate 3 (maybe skate 2 as well, can't remember).
I had a mobile version of Skate on my Motorola SLVR. Yeah.
Skate had the best feels
Skate 2 is the most playable
Skate 3 was a misstep
after skate came out i dropped all tony hawks games, i was so addicted to the demo that came out and was hooked all the way upto 3.
I played this game to death literally everyday I can sit and just play free skate doing lines. I loved the different clothes shoes too. Skate 2 is my favourite.
They need to include like an Overall rating for every skater like in 2k, so in career mode you have to grow that.
Skate is about improving by growing your own skills, not just grinding some virtual number. That's the entire point of it. 2K, on the other hand, just wants you to spend money.
Honestly the death races to me are a lot of fun, mainly cause I like bombing down hills and its fun to do so while going against others (Even if it is CPU)
The film challenges place you in whatever stance you were last in or were going in, so fakie would switch you, or any switch would spawn you in switch.
This game is 10 years old as of this week so I just kinda think you could have been less hostile towards the game that changed so much
I loved Skate 1 but completely went off Skate 2. Never bothered with 3 because of that, and so when I bought it 2 months back it was so nice playing it as though it were brand new! I think I'll go back and pick up 2 again and see if I like it more now.
You want regret it skate 2 is still a masterpiece over 3. I advise you not to spend money on skate 3 as it is to cartoon and the bails are stiff. Skate 2 has an urban feel and when controlling the board it feels better and easier. Take it from the blobfish
I skate regular irl and it helps to be in game so I more easily flick the sticks the way I flick my foot for a kickflip
Skate felt the best to me, I like the grimey looking graphics and the way it feels to grind rails. That school yard and community center had so many little lines and gaps that you could skate for hours. I'm going to go play now!!
That hippy flip was cool, the way it just looked so clean
If you watch the Intro video (not the opening cutscene) Mark Gonzales is seen doing a Hippie-Flip
I didn't totally hate the games of skate but the pros were too good. At some point I just did really sketchy 540 tricks that they couldn't do by tweaking out 360 tricks
I'd love to see you do a video / video series on video games that include skateboarding, but aren't necessarily skateboarding video games (Dead Rising 1, for example)
Games of Skate? LEFT OUT THE GAME??? Am I honestly the only person who loves these and wish they had been in Skate 3 too? (I know, I know - Carrol and Koston messed me up too)
Besides of people say about Skate 1. I still love that game to this day, and it's a true masterpiece in gaming. :)
You left out a part where when you play skate if you used those extra analog turns where you get some extra degree on a spin and do a 540 trick the enemy AI can’t match 540s or even spin that fast so you beat the AI every time if you can land huge spins
Skate 3 simply because of hardcore mode on difficulty settings. If they had that with skate 1's map, then that'd be my favorite. Skateboard games should be difficult dammit.
Skate had best spots and the animations were fluid, whereas Skate 3 had hardcore mode and park editor. I didn't care much about Skate 2 (sold the game 2 weeks after I bought it), but since I haven't played it much, it feels more fresh than the first and third.
imo, Skate 1 was the best for me. it set the perfect skateboarding vibe, San Van was great to explore, the physics are good, and it has the best soundtrack.
Hippie flips was shown on the skate demo.
BROOOOOOO skate 2 might be better but after not playing this game since 2 came out....holy shit its like falling in love all over again. the soundtrack is also so much better than i remember :O
The pop glitch was awesome
I've been waiting for this video for so long man!
Rob & Big was impossible. The only way I beat that challenge was by accident one day.
Right foot forward, right leg being most peeps dominant leg, is more understandable. It makes more sense. It's fact.
I loved this game. I never beat it though. I wasn't very good at doing advanced flip tricks. I'd always end up doing the wrong trick. Also, as you mentioned glitches at the end, the most I remember was falling through the map and a weird super bounce (Halo 2 glitch) type of glitch, and flying endlessly into the sky and the camera being weird but the skater was invisible. If you're unfamiliar with that last one, I have a very old video of it on my channel. It was very weird.
skate had an original art style and feel that the other 2 couldnt do. if there was freecam in this game it would still be the best.
I don’t mind the Goofy stuff. After all, I am Goofy
When you see how much shit has been developed since the skate series, you realise just how much effort went into it. Especially the movement that actually seemed natural.
Skate 1 for the city, Skate 3 for the smooth gameplay. Skate 2... had nice pools.
Skate 3 physics are trash. Skate 1 you couldn't get off your board at all. Skate 2 still had the community center. Skate 2 is by far the best if you ask anyone who ever played these games.
+Dan L agreed
Skate 2 was the best clown
i have the most fond memories of the original one for the wii skate it it opened my life and people said they cant play it well im 80% done i never played it since should probably bust out the wii for christmas xd
Idk what you mean by "you were clearly not meant to do" when referring to hippie flips. The intro to Mark Gonzales ends with him doing a hippie flip, albeit its a single kickflip and not a double flip which is what you normally have to do in the game but they obviously intended for hippie flips to be possible.
