True Skate Review (Android)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 28 авг 2024
- The review focuses a lot on the negative, but I did truly enjoy the game after I got past all of the goals and just started to enjoy it for what it is.
Later, I realized that I might have had to do 10 heelflips in a row because of the goofy stance, but I'm not sure. I'm not matching anything, so it doesn't make sense that I would have to mirror it.
That Tony Hawk footage is from THUG Pro. You can see my review here: • THUG Pro review for PC
Did you see that really weird text problem at the very end? I forgot to mention it, but that happened to me a lot.
Overall, I would say that this game has some great bones. But it needs some heavy polish. It just feels incomplete right now.

i was one of the ones who suggested this game and when i did i was completely not thinking about the actual missions and objectives. i strictly use this game to "free skate" and try to get high scores on the leaderboards. you nailed it with the 'glorified tech deck' comment, that's exactly how i use it and i find it very entertaining. another great review, keep it up! i am also curious about Skater but haven't been able to get passed all of the negative comments about glitches in order to pay the $5.
Yeah that's what I'm thinking too. I might do some other videos and wait for an update or two before I try it out. I'd hate to give it a crappy review and then it turns into something great a few months down the line.
It's worth it the only glitches are some times you will do a grind and it will call it a different one
@@RadRatVideo the game is pretty good now , could be worth to do a review again
@@RadRatVideo Do a new review bro please!!!
@@RadRatVideo like what you did in this video?
You can set a session marker by holding down the reset button!
Trap Hole that annoyed me too
Trap Hole
You can also get a real skateboarding game by uninstalling True-givememoney-Skate and installing Touchgrind skate 2.
He's a facking noob, sooo annoying. True skate is the best!!!
its not like it tells you that.
@@safiyaalibhai6703 True skate is just too expensive, you only get 1 skatepark, just that, you have to buy more.
I've been playing this game for a little over three years now and never really payed any attention to all of the glaring flaws you pointed out lol. It's quite ridiculous with micro-transactions, most of the stages are bland, not to mention the "missions". All of these things make the game horrible, but in my opinion it has the best skateboarding mechanics and physics of any mobile skateboarding game. "a glorified tech deck" sums it up perfectly.
"Perform a VAOEEIVAREEILRIDLA PTLA PVAILNTEIVARECI3F, 5 times..."
uh...
what?
This review is incredible. Glorified tech deck. Virtual simulator. Still my favorite toy 5 years later
OK the missions are a bit weird, but instead of doing missions, you could also unlock the gap lists and try to find all the gaps in a park, it's actually really fun and challenging.
when I run out of that slow motion I just do a replay and it always puts it back to 10 haha. weird glitch I don't know. I play on iPhone.
true skate is hands down better than touch grind
Why
Skins
@@heybubba1235 wow
Honestly should revisit this game even though not much has changed. It's just still such a good game and the UI has been updated plus the tricks are always accurate for me and glitch mod can be fun
Wow this really really should be revisited this review mis represents the game so badly now
All I can think of with these mobile games is, "What would that level play like in THUGPro?" Or just with controller support in, say, a Steam port or something. I just can't get into touch controls for most genres. But nice reviews regardless! It's nice to have an idea what these play like, in case I ever pull the trigger and try one out. (And have an improved device that won't melt from them!)
I totally agree that it is more of a sandbox style skateboard game that is all about the physics engine. I have spent almost all of my time just creating challenges for myself on the courses. That's pretty much all that I do in Skate 3 at this point as well. Great review man!
Thanks! Yeah that's true. I would love to have a third person Skate clone on android. Not sure how that would work, but you never know.
I'm excited to see what becomes of Project Session. I still can't tell if that's going to be good or not.
The best way to play this is with your index finger as your back foot and middle as the front. Right hand is goofy left is regular.
to get more points, you have to do grinds mixed in with tricks to get multipliers. The points wrack up pretty quick then
Hold the restart button at the top in the middle it takes you to session marker menu
Tap and hold on the reset button to place a session marker.
Of course they should make that more clear though unless that wasn't included at the time of recording.
This channel is great! I appreciate the depth you go into with each review
Thank you! I appreciate it!
I really enjoy True Skate like many others do for the free skate mode.
Fortunately I didn't pay for it. Its a huge pay to play
You can't get 10 kickflips in a row cause that achievement is scored like regular. It thinks you do heelflips
You can add a session marker by holding the restart button at the top of the screen, in case you didn't know.
I downloaded this game back when it was free on my iPad, had such a great time for a free game. Everything you said was true, the only fun you can find in this game is free skating and playing a game of SKATE with your friends.
I love your channels man!
You're old channel Aron Lawrence brought me to your Rad Rat channel.
You can set the session marker by holding the top middle button
4:36 it counts the kickflips like in the missions where its a kickflip in regular so for goofy stance you have to do heelflips
"Maybe I'll try some in the FUTURE."
idk why the audio got so loud.
you should do another review of the game ! @Rad Rat Video
you made some good points here! I played the game for years and downloaded all the levels, and I still play it every day. I 100% agree with you, the missions are extremely dumb (apart from the score based ones) and the game isn't extremely clear on the controls. the only thing I do on this game is free skate. I know it is quiet costly for a mobile game to buy all the parks but for the time I spent on each on, I think I definitely got my money's worth :)
Can't argue with you there. I only spent a few bucks, but I definitely got that much enjoyment out of the game.
+Rad Rat Video thanks for replying :) ps. have u tried the love park map yet? it's by far the biggest
I haven't. I've been working on a playthrough of another game (3, actually), for future reviews.
+Rad Rat Video ahh ok I definitely recommend it if u have a chance to get it
To set a marker you could hold the reset button
That would have been good to know! Thanks
a tip : its either free or cheap to use your own imported photo image on the bottom of your deck. these can be screen shots so u can use skate deck graphics if u want. i just put a hot chic's photo.
i just cracked the game and used lucky patcher to create a hacked apk file so i can get everything in the game for free.
not worth spending 2 weeks on getting 10k TC only to buy a new board, then having to repair it after 30 minutes.
so yeah, just crack the game and use lucky patcher to get everything.
thank you for shedding light on how much worse true skate is than touchgrind
So I've been playing true skate for over a year and there's a few things I've learned or had happen. I have found a handful of glitch spots where you fall through the map (on schoolyard you can get onto nearly every roof quite easily), I have nearly all tricks on lock down so I can throw them whenever I want to and land clean every time, and I have hit the maximum number of true credits (100,000) 6 or 7 times now(when you do tricks while you have 100K points you don't actually get anymore true credits so that's just a waste, therefore I usually decide to do a whole skateboard make over then, like change whatever I want and make it look nice). I really enjoy finding large transfers or other random tranny finds. I have over 1000 uploads on my integrated "Everplay" account (EnergeticTheory1966). I am also working on finding every gap on every map going by the gap book and completely he trick book :D
Also if you just freeskate for like 10mins you will get like 2000 credits play a couple days and you can afford borads
you can just hold the reset button and it brings up the session marker thing
hey aron what do you think about making a video on skateboard manufacturing and the misconception that one brand is bad and the other is good when a handful of company's are made by the same factory. there is always an on going fight about brands and who is the best it would be nice if someone would clear it all up
Good idea! I'll make a note of that and see if I can come up with anything
+Rad Rat Video it gets annoying hearing people say things like, dont buy those boards i got one and it broke when i ollied on flat, or those boards have no pop, no one actually has valid arguments and few understand how skateboards are made and why one might have been a dud
Please read the description of the session marker it says there's a short cut
You can set your spawn point by holding the top middle button
*YOU ONLY NEED TO HOLD THE RESPAWN BUTTON AND PRESS SET SESSION*
The actual problem in credits is there isn't too much to spend on unless u wanna change board graphics and after 100 000 credits u get nothing. I have done only tutorial missons but tricks give so much u can never spend it lol
If you buy this game don't buy SLS courses first, Tampa and some others are way better.
You have to try skater the app. From a real skater to another this is the only app worth buying skate wise on the store
You're right on some points but finishing all the missions is not "that" hard. I've completed all of them. And everyone can. In ios, popping and flipping is more comfortable btw. (played on iPhone 4s and LG G2)
At one point on this game I had 999,999 points from only freeskating...
True Skate is better in my opinion because I like the realism and street league parks and Skate Park Of Tampa Maps plus realistic locations plus customizable skateboards etc.
I remember the first trick I did on true skate was a quad hardflip. Deleted it immediately.
This game is a lot better now though sure its a lot of payments but think about a console game its gonna cost money plus this game has controller support,better UI now,and slow mo isnt behind a pay wall lmao,and once you get good it can be really really fun and addicting plus now there is sandbox where you can download maps from the community its a subscription but you get 30k bolts per month and custom stats for free and some deck and grip custom images dont have you pay bolts when you have the subscription
You should revisit this it’s way better now
Skater is the best skate game for phones! Touch grind and true skate don't even compare
You Should check out Skate Lines for Android, its free! It's my preferred sk8 game on phones (with no emulation.) and the sequel previews look really neat.
Skater app is the best by fat
Far*
Some mechanics on that game is kinda weird but it rocks yea
U can edit ur comment, u know?
also. these games are just for fun. not completion.
do a 3xtreme review
tried both
simply couldn't get past the completely unbearable controls, compared to console games. then again any mobile game is crap compared to console ones so...
You can use two fingers makes the game a lot better
What is a VAOEEIVAREEILRIDLA PTLA PVAILNTEIVARECI3F ?
Do you own touchgrind skate?
Yeah, I have a review of that too.
Once again you've killed the review Aron! Its a shame that the developers were half-ass on this game tho, I believe they could have really taken the cake on this with a little more effort. Smh , but yea im looking forward to that "skater" review.
(Tip: hold down the reset button for a shortcut)
No the point is this was years ago try it now the update make it better then what this was
Indeed
I buy every park but the street league ones. They’re just not that interesting or creative imo. Overall it’s not a bad price to have a fingerboard on my phone.
Why tf did you buy SLS parks too lmao
The only achievement I could never get was the 50 shove its
I want to see you review the Skater app (skaterapp dot com), it's like touch grind skate 2 but with proper body/board rotations and manuals instead of lip tricks.
Great channel btw, keep up the good work!
Thanks! Stay tuned.... I've been playing it for a couple of days.
True Skate looks really goofy and wacky physics.. touch grind seems better in that regard.
cuz it is
Do a video on board shapes!!
im giving true skate the win
Have you tried Skater for Android yet? It's by The Skater Team.
Not yet. Have you? Are the bugs worked out yet?
I've had the game for years none of this happens
I swear to god, this game was free when I got it
You got this all wrong this is a great
El Jeffe true skate is a good skateboard simulator but it's not a good game, the actual gameplay beyond just the physics isn't well designed
Skater is by far the best app
A lot of app store reviews say it seems glitchy and unfinished. Is that still true?
Personally I haven't experienced any glitches in the past two weeks of playing it.
It does have a similar problem to True Skate in that all of it's challenges are really specific and there's very little room for error.
Bruh i got all achievements
you can hold the button in the middle of the top on your screen to set the session marker. AND the challenges are all made for regular and not goofy. so if you have to do 10kickflips you have to do 10heelflips. you didnt even read a shit about this game. AND if you suck like this, you truely cant earn points. this game is like real skating, you need a lot of practice.
I mentioned the heelflip thing in the description.
oops.... sorry
lmao the end
You didn't include one positive mate. Really bad review
because compared to touchgrind 2, there are no positives
@@j.stretcher except it controls 1000 times better. touch grind is clunky as shit
I like true skate better
didn't do any of this. both games are O.K. time wastes of all time
this is cool
man i usually love this channel but god damn this review is awful. this is the best skateboarding game period. best control of the board. touch grind is absolutely not even a comparison. that game is shit. yes the missions are glitchy, yes you could complain about paying literally a couple bucks for some maps (several are free if you just earn the points, which you failed to mention), and yes the menus were bad before, but it’s changed. better menus, session marker is easy to set, it’s overall better. i can’t believe you complain about the board getting marked up, like in real life when you skate your board gets marked up, do you want it to just look perfect forever? the same thing is in skate and tony hawk. i don’t see you complaining about it there. who plays a phone game for the missions? it’s a virtual toy. it’s a “glorified” (not really at all) tech deck, like you said. nobody made you pay 5 more dollars either. you can pay efficiently or not, that’s your fault. this whole thing sounds like you’re just used to touchgrind (ew) so you found whatever way you could to call this game bad.
This is very poor review and True Skate should definitely be revisited. Your closing statement was really thing that really holds true
You should play skater
i like true skate better
I got this on sale for free lol
true skate is free for iphone..
Maybe the first park, but it still gets expensive.
Free for one park and one board with no missions and no features, you will play for an hour and get bored then it gets expensive.
I bought this game for $1
FireReaper 1381 cool now try and go to another map or get a new deck or do slow mo or even do some challenges......they all cost money genius for 1$ you only get one map and no features, every fucking thing you do in this game costs money.
Just go to missions go all the wat down do one of them
Congrats you can now buy 3 boards
i liked true skate better
do the skater app
it's 5 bucks
I've got a review of that coming out on Tuesday!
I got for free in 2018
you wouldnt like it because tony hawk games can get you 10000000000 points for a ollie true skate has more realistic points
dont waste your cash on skater, it sucks
Lol I think its the dumbest game out, absolutely horrible.
android user lol
True skate
true skate sucks ass I'm not looking forward to the "full game" if it ever comes out
All I can think of with these mobile games is, "What would that level play like in THUGPro?" Or just with controller support in, say, a Steam port or something. I just can't get into touch controls for most genres. But nice reviews regardless! It's nice to have an idea what these play like, in case I ever pull the trigger and try one out. (And have an improved device that won't melt from them!)
I always think that too. These games actually do control really well when you get used to them. But you aren't doing anything crazy precise like in Skate. I don't think Android games will ever match that, but they have the benefit of being really convenient. You can play it for a little bit any time you have a spare minute.
