I know everyone is going over the game design and gameplay. Me personally, I liked the sponsor system. Just felt really cool that I can pick a company to sponsor me and I can make money off tournaments. Also felt really rewarding buying stuff you made with that money
True they should bring that back . It would be even more beneficial for company’s to be apart of this because skate culture is a huge part of fashion nowadays .
Having played each Skate as they came out, the first one always looked best to me for some reason. 2 was sick as well. 3 took a physics and graphics hit for some reason
Most likely 3 took a hit because they wanted a locked 60fps. Something they couldn't quite get in the previous games. Sure many times it went up to 60, but never quite stayed there. With skate 3 it was pretty locked to 60fps
@@BuzzingGoober The pre-alpha gameplay is still nothing to the actual release so nobody clearly knows. We can just expect what comes. But is just hope, still its good it will come to PC after all.
@@legoyoda9782 The problem is that apparently it will not have a story mode and will only be a server full of randoms jumping things. We went from a game immersed in the culture of skateboarding to fortnite on wheels.
I don't know what it is tbh but I find skate 3 very meh, skate 2 I find amazing but skate 1 hits different, I don't know why. Controls seem more tight, 2007 graphics gives me nostalgia, city feels fluid as hell and the story wasn't intrusive
@@naetrr the vert in skaterxl vs skate, theres no competition. I have lots of hours on both franchises and the vert in skaterxl is often much more buggy than it is in the skate games
@@OshineTheOranguTANK it has it's bugs but so does skate.. when it works it works so much better than vert ever has (yet) in skate. a lot of the issues with it are a skill curve / mappers not building the vert correctly as well. watch milky skate the miniramp at the mega park and tell me you've ever seen any vert look that good in ea skate
I prefer skate 1 to the rest of the 2 games. Graphically looks best. Tre flips are the best and the map is perfect. Always felt like the skate games kept getting downgraded after the first one. Sure theres more tricks and features but this game looked and felt very next gen for its time. 2007 was a great year for gaming.
There's many emulators to choose i have skate 3 i want to get 1 and 2 and replay them all. I have played the load out of skate 2 but i played the games when they were in the years released thanks to my brother's being big skaters.
26secs in and instantly shows how skate is dope. Downloaded the THPS remake on ps5 and it's trash. Thankfully I still have ps2/3 so I can play those when they were good. But skate takes the cake for sure
Skate 1 was a huge leap from the THPS series. At the time the controls gave a huge sense of realism and an unmatched connection to the character and board on screen. Times have moved on. They need to get rid of the legacy controls in favour of a more advanced control scheme.
Maybe because it has more textures, shading, and is a final product ? Maybe because sk4te is very young into its development and the version everyone is playing is a alpha version….
I really dislike the pop and floaty look like gravity is lighter . Still looks more fun to plan than thps 1+2 . I’ve been playing games since the 90s. Started with a swag genesis , and had most of the consoles after that . (Except Xbox, ps3, Xbox 1 , ps5).My vibes are different After seeing what’s next . I have a hard time going backwards . All I want to do now is play skate 4 .
skate 1 & 3 are the most fun games. i always hated how the movement and grinds on skate 2 honestly i feel it gets too much praise. all the street spots (rails and hubbas) in 2 are wayyyy too small you can barely skate them
Watching these Skate 1 and 2 videos makes me think that Skate 3 was just a rushed game to suck out all the money from the fans as fast as possible. So basically just a typical EA strategy of working. 🤷🏻♂️
gonna have another skate 1 video up tomorrow, having a ton of fun with this game

The sound that the board makes when you skate on tiles is such an amazing attention to detail albeit a tiny one
sound design was a big thing for the first skate
Skate 1 and 2 are pretty classic man. I'll never forget smoking weed for the first time and playing skate with my cousin for hours
Having played each Skate as they came out, the first one always looked best to me for some reason. 2 was sick as well. 3 took a physics and graphics hit for some reason
I feel the same. 3 is my least favorite personally
Because skate 3 was a rushed game man.
Most likely 3 took a hit because they wanted a locked 60fps. Something they couldn't quite get in the previous games. Sure many times it went up to 60, but never quite stayed there. With skate 3 it was pretty locked to 60fps
A year later and my childhood still kicks ass in realistic skateboarding
I used to spend so much time skating that rail in the subway station lol
I love the first skate then skate 2. I love the x games!!
I think out of the skate series 2 takes the throne.
This game still looks good after all these years.
OG skate is the best just flows so good has a great map and has a fun party play
Oh the nostalgia brings tears to thine eyes
This game looks and feels so much better than skate 3
I agree the skate 3 is like more arcade version, while skate 1 is like realistically based. I just hope the new skate will be similar to this one.
@@sneakyevil it clearly won't. It's the least realistic.
@@BuzzingGoober The pre-alpha gameplay is still nothing to the actual release so nobody clearly knows. We can just expect what comes. But is just hope, still its good it will come to PC after all.
@@BuzzingGoober every flip trick animation is already far more realistic than the old games, just up to how you play it and how they scale the map
I bought all 3 of them and an old ass xbox 360 just a week ago, been having a blast!
Still this game looks more realistic than skate 2 or any of the skates. Level design is perfect!
i’m hoping skate 4 knocks them all out of the park. they have my expectations set SO high from the few trailers i’ve seen.
@@asharteaga3562 only "Skate" no story, only Multiplayer, F2P game as a service.... My expectations are grounded...
@@asharteaga3562 Why? It's F2P and online only.
@@TheOrangeSunsetGaming Hilarious how people went from "EA will make it pay to win" to "Grrrrr f2p bad." Which one is it?

i remember being blown away by the mega ramp in skate
I don't know what it is tbh but I find skate 3 very meh, skate 2 I find amazing but skate 1 hits different, I don't know why. Controls seem more tight, 2007 graphics gives me nostalgia, city feels fluid as hell and the story wasn't intrusive
amazing that the vert in this is still better than skaterXL lmao
gotta disagree there
@@naetrr how? I feel like skate always had good vert mechanics
@@naetrr the vert in skaterxl vs skate, theres no competition. I have lots of hours on both franchises and the vert in skaterxl is often much more buggy than it is in the skate games
@@naetrr you shouldn’t play the ea skate series if you think vert is better on that “skateboarding” game
@@OshineTheOranguTANK it has it's bugs but so does skate.. when it works it works so much better than vert ever has (yet) in skate. a lot of the issues with it are a skill curve / mappers not building the vert correctly as well. watch milky skate the miniramp at the mega park and tell me you've ever seen any vert look that good in ea skate
The best one in sound terms.
It just has that sense of weight you know

way ahead of its time i love this game
skate 3 feels bland after playing the other 2 more recently.
The only game where you can actually rotate 360 degrees on flat
Of course it is. Would be great to see the trilogy remastered for PC
There's many emulators to choose i have skate 3 i want to get 1 and 2 and replay them all. I have played the load out of skate 2 but i played the games when they were in the years released thanks to my brother's being big skaters.
in freeride u can disable visual fx and hud to get more realistic and clean
dude those were some really clean lines
i dont think we understand how important skate 1 is.. before that all we had was tony hawk arcade type skateboarding
Was playing just yesterday ❤️
I need this game so bad
26secs in and instantly shows how skate is dope. Downloaded the THPS remake on ps5 and it's trash. Thankfully I still have ps2/3 so I can play those when they were good. But skate takes the cake for sure
After playing this I couldn't even look at tony hawk game
OGs know the pop glitch
Skate 1 will always be the Goat next to skate 2 of course
this and skate 2 were way better to me than skate 3 fr

RUclipsrs will have you thinking this game is dead
Meanwhile:
I had alot more fun on Skate 1 and in my opinion, it's always been better than Skate 3, Skate 3 just had a lot more commercial success
How is it that this game looks more polished and refined than skate 4? Omg
Woah, maybe it’s because skate 4 isn’t released yet
Maybe because it has more textures, shading, and is a final product ? Maybe because sk4te is very young into its development and the version everyone is playing is a alpha version….
Do you not know what game development is?
This has to be a troll comment
@@001vamp no, it’s the final product
still the best looking skate
looks nice
This map was on skate 3 jaja i didnt know it was from skate 1
Donde puedo conseguir ese juego ahora ?
Still has better transition mechanics than skater xl and session lol
Does this game have trophies achievements ?
Why does this game seem smoother than skate 3

You play skater xl at all man? It's pretty fun for realistic skating
got 70 hours on it, havent played it in a couple months though. might try a vid on it
@@naetrr wordd, add me man, let's play some realistic games of skate haha shits fun
@@thatharshguy5565 is there cross play? im on PC
@@naetrr ah damn, unfortunately not
Mans playing with 60 fps
skate 1 & 3 are the most fun games. i always hated how the movement and grinds on skate 2 honestly i feel it gets too much praise. all the street spots (rails and hubbas) in 2 are wayyyy too small you can barely skate them
Skate 1 > skater xl
Personally I play skate 2 but that's it I don't really like skate 3 at all for some reason lol
does anybody know how to get skate 2 on xbox series s?
has to be disc from what i know
Game pass
the camera movement make me sick tho.
Watching these Skate 1 and 2 videos makes me think that Skate 3 was just a rushed game to suck out all the money from the fans as fast as possible.
So basically just a typical EA strategy of working. 🤷🏻♂️
I don't even have a disk. Hit me up to donate it.
If you actually played this game, skate 3 highkey sucks
