Session takes a really long time to be good at, which for me is a good thing. When you finally become good enough with manual catch you feel like a skate-god. And the sound design in Session just sounds way better. Also everything (as far as i know) is grindable which is not the case in XL. Dont get me wrong XL is a fun game (even more with mods) but i think Session is a better representation of street skating. I have around 190 hrs in XL and 150 hrs in Session so i am not just talking trash. But this is just my opinion.
@@candypuke yea ive played xl way more than session, but then decided to give session a shot. in my opinion, i believe session is going to be the frontrunner of the two skate games as far as realistic street skating. as the original comment said, the sound is way better, and i like the character model design more than xl too. the only thing i have xl over session is the transition skating, and being able to pump and grab and stuff. to what you said about the animations, they are coming out with an update that should be out in a few days, they are mainly focusing on the board physics which is a smart move, but they are also adding more people to the dev team which will produce faster and more updates
Holy f*** that's hilarious I was trying to see which game it was on cuz they look similar even though you can kind of tell that XL has better graphics but you can also tell because XL has a tricks up at the top left and session seems to have him at the bottom right
honestly, with realistic stats mod and getting to know the game, skaterxl takes the cake in terms of realistic skating. Session to me has always looked so janky with its animations, and i can't get anything to look decent in it. But in skaterxl, with realistic stats mod i can always make lines look super steezy, and you can add so much steeze thats just lacking in session
The physics are ridiculous. The body movements get pretty damn accurate it’s crazy. Session def looks more robotic in that department. Probably not a lot of basketball fans but Nba 2k and it’s lesser polished graphics took control of their market off of that exactly. They no longer make the opposing nba live franchise.
@@shoganai2545 Lol, I see you are trolling here, as well. How does it feel that the consensus on this video's comment section reflects Jackson's sentiments here? It makes me laugh. At you.
Robert-Jan de Looze no.. it just recently got to pre-alpha. what you lack to comprehend is it’s 5 people who have other jobs making the game. So it’s pretty reasonable realistically..
Let’s remember skater xl isn’t fully done either it got pushed out because everyone wanted it they are still early on the game they are only a 8 person team
The "ghosting" problem in session comes from a setting called "Temporal anti aliasing" or taa for short. If you turn down anti aliasing to low, i think it replaces it with fxaa. That'll remove the ghosting but make the game look significantly more pixelated.
7:45 i know that problem from much game engines like unity or unreal engine. when u have a car with wheels or a cycle or a board, all that things have wheels that needs to be spinned really fast. And the most gameengines have that kind of glitch / bug. its really tricky to code that out togheter with a high performance.
Looking for some help because I much prefer the vibe and feel that session is going for but skater XL seems like it's going to have more features and I know session isn't released yet but there hasn't been much progress is cleaning up the glitches or adding more maps but I do like the ones they have thanks for any responses
I’m a console player so imma just wait until multiplayer and more maps are added cuz I don’t have enough to afford a computer 😢. But skater XL is a pretty good game I can’t stop playing it nonstop I love it
Skater XL has a map editor mod which can change time of day, can put lamps and other editor props, and there is a board mod where you can have damage on the board AND the board can break at high falls. Just thought i'd mention since you didnt realize skater XL had them @Skate Or Die
skater XL is a finished game that really doesnt feel finished, session is still in pre-alpha, which means tonnes more features to come, while skater xl is done, maybe they will do updates, or maybe move onto a sequel. i only have skater XL but id rather play session since it seems like its going to be an actually complete game when its finished im just wating for the new tony hawk so i can make skateparks
I feel as though Skater XL is putting all this money into marketing, whereas there game is somewhat lacking and feels lazy from a dev side. Session feels dry right now also, their updates seem to rollout slowly... yet it feels like it's being created by a genuine team, that wants a very realistic skating videogame experience. That's my take on this all at least
to be fair, though, updates for Session used to roll in quite a bit faster. Bringing the game to X-Box took a lot of time and resources away from the actual game development.
just a quick reminder.... ramp skating is better in skater xl because skater xl is now out of the beta.... session is not over with beta testing so you can expect vert improvement someday soon i guess....
As someone in the SkaterXL community. A lot of people make fake skate brands. I included. Session I believe (don't own it) doesnt have community features. Both of these games are great for the skate game community. I mean we got Remastered Tony Hawk and Skate 4 announced because of it.
i tried session and don’t get me wrong i liked it but i feel like it was so dry and so wobbly. each time i would even touch something id fall off my board and it was so frustrating. i prefer skater xl
Which ever game you got, you need to dl th Péitruss map by Team EMU. Its on both games but in session, because its in unreal its the best map you will ever see. Check out my Péitruss edit video for reference, it wont disappoint
Skater XL is too arcadey right now. They should turn off the moon gravity, add hardcore control schemes, add late flips and impossibles, and manual catch. Session feels more realistic but needs a big ass overhaul. Skater XL is far more polished. At the end of the day I'm glad skating games are coming back. Skate on everyone!
in skater xl you need to hold sticks for weight during grinds if you want to hold them and make these look good too, as an exemple your noseslides in skater xl ain't good looking because of that
Your not suppose to use the triggers to turn into a boardslide your suppose to use the joysticks and to use them you Ollie or do whatever trick and then you point the joysticks in opposite direction
Personally, I played session way sooner than i played skaterxl but I found session boring because of all the assigned animations/movements you do in the game. I crook would be one stick to the upper left/right, while in skaterxl, you can do many variations of crooked grinds as to how pinched it is or whatnot. but then again, Session is in it's very early stages so lets see what happens
These are both glorious games, and I would have given the win to session for console and skaterxl for PC. The skaterxl map feels desolate, and like a wasteland of la. I think adding just some moving cars, or people or something would have made the game infinitely better.
I broke my leg skateboarding, and now my dad is never letting me do it again, I got it for my birthday and broke it a day after. Dislocated my ankle and broke my leg in two places. I feel empty not being able to skateboard ever. F
Skate 3 Is better than both skater XL is sort of the same but you can do more tricks and beyond it’s more and we listed A lot of skate parks in and big rumps
"Skater Xl is more forgiving" . . . . Until you install the realsim mod lmao thats when put Xl above session by quite a bit too (i still play session tho cause i like the Map and being able to freely skate wherever. I dont like how the tricks feel locked to an animation like Skate was/is tho in a way). how fluid XL is along with the realistic mods is str8 up 10/10 for me. Also i feel like you can style/tweak/steeze out trick alot more in XL. BUT Session is not a fully finished game. i still think session will be fxcking sick when its fully done . . . But thats just me. Im just glad we have skateboarding games again. & not jjust one but 5. That being XL, Session, Skate 4 (finished im guessing by next year this time (august)) & The Remastered THPS 1 & 2. Times are good for gamers/skaters right now id say =D
For console players: Session is a better skate sim with the base game. More realistic starting settings. If PC: Get Skater XL.
