How we would have made skate !

[Hobbs]

So there I was, eating ice cream in the magical land of my house! I was all like "yummy ice cream", then i thought of ways that i would make the skate franchise. They obviously failed in some aspects. I was wondering, how you guys would make the game.

Well my idea is basic, i was thinking, that their would be one huge city, (for the realistic skaters) and basically make what a city would be like, with like places that arent meant to be skated, and you could get kicked out and shit. (i always see spots that i would skate in gta and that is not meant for skating. Day/night cycle, use of generators, diy spots, interactive people, skate stoppers, wax, etc. all that stuff we love. So that would be realistic mode, aand for the unrealistic skaters, just make a huge mega park just to be skated. And make them in completley different areas maybe even make another city that is unrealistic.

I could ramble on for hours, but i dont want to waste your time.

Heres a huge list of what i would want:

• Day/night cycle
  wax
  interactive people
  security
  skate stoppers
  board snap
  injuries that lower your ability for only a limited time
  cruiser decks to get around easier
  not meant to be skated city
  more clothing choices
  allow everybody to have their own look, (maybe even make it able to scan your face)
  more realistic physics
  better sounds
  small community parks
  generators
  more tricks
  flick longer gives the board more spin
  better and more styles
  made up pro skaters not real ones (maybe)

that sums up my thoughts now please post your thoughts!

City :

A huge one
Night and day cycle
Weather cycle
When it´s raining you have to search an indoor spot (hope it will not rain every 10 min)
After the rain, some water puddle can stay, offering new ways to skate spots
Skateshops are back !
You can break your board and some other parts of your deck (bearings if you are skating dirty spots...)
The skater style is defined automaticly based on what spot you skates
On some spots you can be randomly kicked by a security guard.
Less ia skaters everywhere!
Realistic spots
Some unrealistic ones (because sometimes it´s funny)
Realistic bails
Realistic pedestrians
Cats, dogs, bicycles,...

Parks editor:

Inspired by the Trial : evolution's editor
No need any glitch to merge object
Object limit increased
More parameters for objects :
Textures (over 300)
Sizes (shape, thickness, width, etc. )
Improved color system
Gravity on/off (possibility to use everything like an accesory)
Create challenges for future users of the park
Aply personal graphics where you want, at the size you need
Possibility to use more than one graphic in a single park
More trees
More
More
More

Online:

Still the possibilty to team up with friends
Smooth Skate flux interface
Possibility to search everything (parks, photos, videos, graphics) by file name, user name, team name, etc.
Deathraces over 50
New kind of challenges?
Create a spot battle, game of skate, 1 up everywhere in the city and CAPs
Easier way to transfer videos and photos to allow it forever (or almost) !
Graphic creator improved with the possibility to use the online drawing soft and photos
Graphic creator in game and out


Else:

Skater physic editor complete (actually all the skate 3 fakeskaters are all looking the same!)
More clothes
More clothes parameters (sizes and shapes of shirts and pants...)

If only game creators looked at this site for inspiration!

[Yarivpa]

Yeah if they are actually making skate 4, i really wish they noticed our activity and learned from what we all did...

[darius-dj]

wow

[xtremezoid]

yo a lot of the stuff you said is in s2 you should play that.

[Gizzler]

...what M7 said! but never understood why people want these things...

wax
interactive people
security
skate stoppers
board snap
injuries that lower your ability for only a limited time
cruiser decks to get around easier

pretty needless, if not annoying stuff if you ask me!

[NotedDerk]

I'd like for a bone in my fake skater to break every so often and then a message pops up and says something like...

'Oh! Looks like you broke your ankle, sorry, but you won't be able to play again for 4-5 months. Please take out the game disc and return at said time to check in, thanks!'

[The Mike]

shit might as well make it so your bearings could break too

[Granka]

no offense hobbs,but if I had a dollar for every thread exactly like this i'd be made in the shade

Bazinga!

[pawnluvguitarist]

Thrasher style grind balancing, for manuals too. Momentum based, no balance bar ect

lol i didnt mean it like that, i meant it just to lower your ability for a tiny bit in the game,

pretty pointless if you ask me

I would put that in their to make the game harder and more of a challenge, it is really boring right now for me cause its getting to easy, (i understand, that is where i am supposed to get creative) if their where skate stoppers and security, etc. the game would be a million times better imo! Plus a cruiser board could help you get around easier to spots and or demos. Wax would be cool, because it would seem more real, like if the ledge wasnt sliding enough then you would wax it XTREMAZOID - there is no interactive waxing in skate 2! Board snap would be cool, the you have to maybe rde on you cruiser to a skateshop and get a new deck their.

[Gizzler]

...maybe try tricks that are harder to do or find spots that are harder to skate

for me the things you mentioned definitely would kill the fun. trying a certain trick over and over, board snaps and then I have to cruise to some skateshop to get a new board and then back to the spot?! no way....!

but what am i talking about? skate4 isnt going to happen...

[SK8ERatWAR]

security

just annoying, and solutions like big black were even more annoying. have you ever played skate 2 mate?

Board snap would be cool, the you have to maybe rde on you cruiser to a skateshop and get a new deck their.

I would fucking rip my xbox apart if that would happen after 4 hours of trying. (every pro skater have reserve boards with them at all times btw, so no need to get back to a shop)

[Hobbs]

yes i have played skate 2 lol i guess security was annoying but fun

[Antwan]

You make it sound like they didn't listen to us when making these games.
I always felt like we heavily influenced it's development.
In the end, They are the team developing this game and not us.
Nothing REALLY changed, a few New Tricks?
We still have our core game, flick it.
New city as asked.
City and Object scale was never an issue before Skate 3.
Now it's too big.
I don't know.
I personally hate the thought of it getting any more realistic..
Then we don't have to manipulate the game to get it done anymore
which always felt the most realistic to me. Figuring it out, Fine tuning it.
Day/Night Cycles Blow man. Not a fan of it being hard to see.
Far Cry 3 as an example.. Randomly gets dark every few minutes and I Hated that.

even playing the game "realistically" requires a bit of manipulation to get a trick to look exactly the way you'd like.
anybody can flick the sticks around and make some trick,but getting it to look good with proper looking animations,head tracking,etc. takes some work.

[bengrover]

Bigger stair sets.
More mega ramps.
More triple backflips.

[Antwan]

Hey to everyone their own but what do you think happens in a city filled with low ledges and rails while playing hardcore?
My guess is it gets easier maybe even effortless.

[NotedDerk]

No hobbs, that's my idea, I ain't biting off yours!

I want a city to be absolutely covered with scooter kids, like pigeons or rats, and if you hit just one of them, their parents run over and break your board and you can only play the game again when you purchase another 'online pass', aka a new deck, at 49.99, minimum!

now that's the sales pitch EA's been waiting for..lol

so true.

[andreas]

they should make skate 4 a racing game and remove all the city stuff and gay skateboards and faggot skaters and put big dirt jumps and shit.

[Wiltzuh]

If there wouldn't be skate we wouldn't have to make these threads...and Derk wouldn't make me sad day after day by blaming me in LB chat

[Seanne1986]

I just want a city that's the same size of the map in GTA V.

[DaaGooN]

Skate on PC
Then Mod mod mod mod mod galore..
Oh and i want to skate as Ronald McDonald

[mamba12]

Mod mod mod mod mod galore..

You rang?

[Stokenstein]

This may have been said already, but things like waxing ledges, getting hurt, breaking boards, skate stoppers, and all that "realistic" stuff would get monotonous and BORING (maybe even aggravating) within a month of the game coming out.

I think having the option to wax the ledges as an animation, not a requirement or add skate stoppers or turn on the option to break a board would be cool to add to videos, but as a requirement. NO NO NO, terrible idea.

Not only that, but it adds a ton of development time and doesn't allow the developers to focus on the things they should have. Forinstance, head tracking on switch crooks, level design, etc...

Just my two cents.

[Hobbs]

yes i agree with you stokes i was a little veg and high off of ice cream, but overall i meant that their should be an option like that, and not just have it placed in there with no choice because so people (the vast majority here) seem to not agree with this plause.

[Stokenstein]

I hear you.

I wish they would have added a bunch more animations to make filming more interesting, landing animations, bails, and doing things like throwing your board, focusing it, waxing, etc...

Night/Day cycle.

The whole maps from the previous games as DLC.

Fixed head tracking on switch tricks.

and a slew of other stuff. Too late though... hopefully whoever makes the next skateboarding game will use our critiques of this game as a starting point.

Bwomp.

[FullyFl4RED00]

I think that you should only be able to play as a sexy girl that is nude, rude, and drenched in lube.

[KRiSPY_ENJOISK8R]

GTA but on a skateboard.

[Yarivpa]

It would be cool to get a realistic scenario !

For example :

In a mission you have to climb over a wall to enter a garden with an empty pool, and you have to make some trick for the filmer. The the neighboor call police and you have to run, following your friends, then you find a new spot and stay until the end of the mission, filming some tricks.

Some little stories inside career like this could be fun

[heshfield]

..what do you think happens in a city filled with low ledges and rails while playing hardcore?

You get skate 3. Thats all the PC map is..foot high ledges and shitty handrails.

...can i second this or no
