i really need a hug
Fuck.
Time for the skate orgy that is Community Video 12.
Yep, and I think the dummies at EA know nothing about the Skate series, don't even care to know, and most likely don't know the difference between Skate.Graphics and Skate.Parks, and Skate.Reel and online sessions. I will not give them the benefit of the doubt on this. I'll mentally prepare for the worst so I'm not disappointed.
I'll motorboat your buttcrack if I'm wrong [hoping I'm wrong].
wow mega bummer guys
Online sessions won't go anywhere becuase they're hosted by whoever creates the session. Public sessions and matchmaking will probably be done.
Either way. Make sure you have your favorite graphics (OF ALL TIME) and parks downloaded. cuz whatever you have when it goes down will be what you have.
Well I love all you dudes, but I'll probably just bugger off and play Far Cry 3 after this. :(
Finally time to grab that cap card and run into issues with getting that shit set up, haha.
We all knew this point would come, just no idea when, I figured it wouldn't happen 'til, at least, 2014.
Granted that's only a year, but if we got this notice now that they'd be shutting them down next year, we'd clutter the fuck out of the reel, even more then usual. Now we got to fucking cram everything in a month, sweet.
I'll still be here even after the reel is done, don't know about the rest of you.
Let's play some other shit, minecraft/duty/battlefield.
Yeah, I dunno... As much as I love this hobby, I don't think I'd be able to justify a cap card myself. Have a lot of other priority hobbies, and only because I can see the end do I feel any guilt about how little fakeskating I've done in the last year or so.
I'm honestly somewhat emotionally effected to be honest. This sucks. I've got a lot of respect for a lot of you heads, as I know you make my efforts look meek, but man have I dumped a lot of time and energy into this. Learning at first, and just trying to keep up progression in the later years. This has been a part of my life for the better part of the last five years. If I remember correctly, counting from when the OG demo ACTUALLY launched (anyone else remember the kick in the balls that first delay was?! Fuckin' EA!) it'd be six on 8/21.
Sheesh... I remember getting all hyped for the first game. Staying up late to download the demo the instant I could, and playing a few minutes at a time in pure amazement at the feel of everything. 360 flips were hard as hell. Smith grinds were bloody impossible. It was pure beauty.
Anyway guys, I wish I would have found Fluckit earlier, and joined up with you guys when I still had more time/energy for the game. I'm going to do my best to shit out as much footage, and show off as many awesome CAPS as I can as long as I can, but if I don't get to tell ya'll again... It's been a fuckin' honor to serve, and I doubt anything will ever be to me what fakeskating has thanks in large part to people far more active than myself that make such a killer community to be a part of.
Keep it rollin', keep it reel.
whatever ea has always been a cocksucker of a company. good while it lasted niggas.
Wait what? This cant be happening. I was expecting Skate 2 to be taken offline, but reel and creator? Fuck that. Quite bummed out here. Hope its a bad aprils 1st joke, come on...
I'm ashamed of all of you who posted in the comment section.
think we can still upload to youtube? I've never even tried it haha
wtf skate 4 is actually gonna come out?
im confused as fuck
the kick in the balls for me is that we just found the infinite merge glitch in CAP. If cap features go down too I'm legitimately throwing out this game. That has always been one thing that kept me playing this fucking game. Maybe, JUST MAYBE I'll put out one or two parks and let people skate them online, just for the of sharing what I've done but this is REALLY shitty. Saw it coming but fuck.
i didn't think ill see the day Momdaddy would hang himself with his own foreskin :(
"Our web development team and operational staff have poured their hearts into this game almost as much as the customers using them"
this made me lmfao
broken game since day 1..shows a lot of heart
wow ea is a bunch of dicks and i dont support them any more.
I never did. Assholes. There goes the Rubrix Full Length.
Although while I won't make a big deal out of this, I think this is absolute bullshit. If anything, s2 services should have gone down far before this, as if OG wasn't a kick in the balls. You'd think they'd atleast stick with the last game in the series. Who knows, I might bother to get a life now. Maybe we should all make one big video, saying goodbye, atleast to people without Capcards.
P.S Depending on whether I'll stay on this site after this, I might as well say thanks. It's been a little over a year and it's been fun. By far the most kickass community I've been part of; supportive, nice, and some amazing guys. Let's make this last month fucking count.
wait s2 reels been up a year long then s3 reels why leave s2 up and not taken it down. it cost them money to keep s2 reels up right
ps3'ers will still get to play this game forever, even without a cap card.
They have the lovely upload straight to youtube feature, glad I can use that if I don't get a cap card any time soon.
Even if everything goes down Fluckit remains. A bit more difficult to share after this goes down but by no means impossible. Cap card your best parks and continue spreading ideas, likebutter because Fluckit man. Two sites strong, whos giving up now?
I literally just ordered myself a Hauppage HD PVR.
I ain't giving up.
FluckIt and Lb FTW!
And you only just jumped in, Mojo.
This means no more Albert.
Well at least no more albert. Did he make a vid yet?
I feel like this suits the moment!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HqsMrC4u2eg
albert uses pvr hes still gonna play
good that i bought an elgato game capture a couple of weeks ago. real bad news, but people, go buy a cap card!
Thought S2 would go way before S3.
Bummer.
who knows, maybe the death of skate means something better might be around the corner.
i hope so.
I thought about getting a pvr too, but I just don't play it enough anymore.. I'm still gonna miss the shit out of all you guyses footy, and getting my own footy too. fucking EA
im hoping uploading to youtube will still work. why the fuck not? its not their server
Cap card it is then I guess...?
EA done goofed
I understand E,i probably wouldn't though that's the thing.
I don't care about the reel for getting clips,i can still do that w/o it...graphics,parks,pics are a different story though.
imma see if i can get my pvr working again then try to use it to take photos
could be fun
im gunna boycott all of their shit from now on.
This game should have been taken out to pasture and shot a long time ago. Not the community, the fun vacuum game.
Bring on the clip dumps.
I'm unsure how parks and graphics will work. but if it means we keep what we have saved then, once thing you can do is:
Create a shit ton of profiles on your console, as far as I am aware you do not need to have online access to use graphics and reels. I've done it on my PS3 and I have saved every park I can find on PS3 and I have transferred over different graphics to each one. Its not ideal but fuck it. Its the best Idea I have at the moment.
I was never much good at montages but i enjoyed it and will be sad to c it go, but can live without it if cap stays, but feel bad for aryeon, m.seven and some others here who are mainly playin the game for footage. sucks.
If you want to still make videos and actually care

April 29th is my birthday... hahahaha sweet ea
using a cap card wud actually be easier than all that downloading, converting and whatever else as it goes. just means ull av l3 in the corner but thats not a problem
So everyone get cap cards and go back to playing OG
I don't think anyone should be ashamed of what they said over on the blog. EA sure as hell isnt ashamed for taking everyones money on all this DLC and not putting a dime back into the game. They are the ones that let it die, not the community; and everyone has the right to be pissed.
Seeing as I won't need online anymore, I won't be uploading and downloading parks. So now I can use the merge glitch without having to constantly re-download my DLC.
Once I get a cap card, I'm all good. So come to think of it, this isn't really as bad as it seems.
I still havent made my first solo :(.
I dont know how much I'll use a cap card, but oh well, theyre not expensive.
Besides, I'm sure its less of a hassle than reel is anyways. Its just fucked up we had to buy reel storage and HD only to have it taken down. What pisses me off the most is the potential loss of graphics and CAPs.
Thats whats been keeping the game fresh for me.
Who will manage my insides now?
I almost had to choke back tears.
EA is fucking worthless. I can't handle this shit anymore. If that comment about the 29th is true, I'm not expecting good news.
Its hard to tell what will happen next.. Skate came out in 2007 and had a 4 year lifespan while skate 2 is on 4 years now and skate 3 on its third year. Either Skate 2 is next or weve got a good thing going. Keep online activities high and pray we see a few more years?
I'm actually spamming the EA facebook and you guys should help me!
yea spamming wont help.
:(..
fuck a cap card, i bought that shit and couldnt keep up with it. EA needs to get its shit together and let another company buy out the skate series or get bought by google or something....
Google.. skate.. what? Did the berrics really post up that park remake for 2013? If they did they play skate. I doubt skaters know how to run a server or make a game not that they couldnt but it just doesnt sound likely. Skate is not the only game with a community.. I just dont think they will care about this. Money to keep servers up/get new ones. Money to buy rights, money to do sequels if youre buying the game you gotta keep it going.. With no prior knowledge of this stuff it would be a hefty work load. These are people dedicated to making real skateboarding stuff happen, does skate really qualify? I mean who knows but theres alot more to do than contacting someone to throw money at it. If anything we need to get our stuff together. How sick would it be if our ideas were all that skate 4 was? Think about it. Might be a bit easier to approach someone with a gameplan rather than just saying hey, make a game. on the other hand I cannot recall hearing one story about any game getting bought out and continued. Hey heres our community we make vids ea sucks pay for it. If you think itll work go for it Im thinking its done.
the ideas getting spread about are all fine and well,but in the end it's up to EA to give up the rights to the skate series.
I just don't see it happening..nothing's been done in 3 years by EA nor have there been interests expressed by other publishers to acquire it,at least not that i'm aware of.
try anything and fuck anybody that tries to make you feel bad for being passionate about it
problem probably is ea wanting so much money for the controls and name. their greedy fucks
Well, Shit.
I personally feel like this game resonated more with former/older skaters than it did with younger skaters/casual gamers (who will simply switch to a different game).
We've been able to perform shit we wish we could or execute visions that we felt were lacking in irl skate vids. If this is the end then I just want to say thanks to all the cool people I met over the years, and especially to those whose video editing tips helped me learn a new skill for my career.
Look forward to the Last Month's works.
end of the game doesnt have to be the end of the community.
^Very much agreed with the 2 dudes above me. You cant knock the fluckit!
On another note, THIS game is now running on its 6th year of being online with a community a fraction of s3's:http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget....adowrun600.jpg
Its not an EA game
Fuck EA,they just seem to only care about money. everyone pours money into their pockets and they just do this shit,this community has added so much to this game,from CAPs that are better than the games map to graphics which you wouldn't think are possible to make. They say they care about the customers but they can't even make the game properly,this game continually fucks up.
On a side note, I know I'm still seen as new in the fluckit community on account of me not inputting much such as parks,however when I see how you all treat new people posting their content,I see that you all put in constructive criticism and help out,before I found fluckit I didn't even realise there was a merge glitch.I see you are all welcoming and helpful,I've met people through fluckit and seen the different side to this game.
Try to make this month the best,I would like the skate series continue but I see a small chance that it will stay,anyway I've gone on a bit so I'll stop.
Hear that?
That's the sound of EA sticking their head farther up their ass.
one sound you won't hear anymore is a cash register opening up to take my money for an EA game
is s2 closing as well?
the s2 reel doesnt work for so many people already anyways
Hey guys, I'm new to this site, but I made a poll on skate.ea.com's forums to save Skate.reel...
http://forum.ea.com/eaforum/posts/li....page#28025562
It would be awesome if we could get as many people as possible to sign it, check it out if you want.
I know EA don't care and probably won't see it, but there is a 1 in a million chance they might seeming it's on THEIR website. :p
IF EA sees it,they probably won't care..it's about money not the game.
EA could care less about our little Skate community when they've got Madden and Battlefield to recycle year after year.
....sorry, im late and didnt read the whole thread. but some thoughts...
over the years of playing this game it really doesnt feel like playing a game anymore, more like playing an instrument like guitar or something...so many automatisms....doing without thinking...fluckin flickit is fucking awesome!!! and instead of watching TV in the evening or doing other lazy stuff, i filmed a few clips, listened to music...ok....smoked too much...
but even enjoyed the times while uploading my shit to skate reel, because after fakeskating it...filming it....that was a good time to roll another....change the music...think about what to do next....all that kind of shit! just lazy evenings....especially in winter....
had a cap card for short in between, but it wasnt the same (besides endless troubles with my pc) for me...so long story short...
i think, that it should be some kind of human right...that its impossible to close virtual spaces, which have been opened once. i play "my instrument"... skate! i want to keep on doing this. it's like....if the inventor of the guitar would have the right to take away all guitars from the ones playing them! not to mention....i paid for this!
time for rebellion!!!!
someone has got to steal that level creator thing they used at blackbox...make up a new city...and make up a solution to upload footy to somewhere! and give that ea assholes a kick in the ass....
just some thoughts...hope you know what i mean....some more gizz footy to come...but not too much, as it seems....
love you guys!
Aw man I was gone last week on spring break, looks like I need to stack about 5 minutes of footage for the Gorilla Kult video and a one last hora video.
It just hit me that the worst part is that I have to make a last video, but I have to give a shit. This sucks.
There's a lot of bad things about this, but there will be a bright side, tons of videos coming out at the same time lol.
Just got off of a live chat to ea:
Jonathan:
Rumors say that they are planning to make or are now developing Skate 4. Try to check some updates from our website or join at the forums for discussions.
So doesn't seem like even EA knows what's happening!
Dude those 'live chat' people will tell you anything.
This news just hit me....
I dont have interwebs blahblah...
Sucks..
But all things must come to an end, but this way sucks...I rather it just die out then just come to a complete stop...
Ive had fun times with this whole thing even tho I havent been around as of late, I still love and miss my dudes very much..
Holla.
Ps..
Interwebs in the near future...
Cap card short after...
I havent stoped playing, got a shit ton of saved clips....Even some NBD spots :cool:
This sums up quite good what I want to say, I could go on forever but I don't have the time right now. Might write a longer post later on.
But yeah, this sure sucks. Always liked the crispy HD-quality without the watermark or whatever you can call that thing in the left bottom of the screen when people film with cap-cards. And with me being a perfectionist I really like to have my long lenses without the vignette. Probably gonna get a cap-card later on in desperation of filming, but it won't be the same thing for me.
With this short time left I'm working really hard to do the best of it, and with 4 different projects going on I'm busting my ass off! Now I'm also really focused on bringing out the sick stuff a lot of people haven't landed, haven't tried or haven't even thought of.
If this is the end for a while, I'll make sure to make myself proud, make my followers/fans/teams proud and make sure you motherfuckers don't forget me! :D
