I'm in class so I couldn't actually listen to what was being said. However, this does look promising. I'm a huge fan of the app "Skater," (IMO they handle rotation and grinding way better than True Skate) and I was wondering why these companies making mobile skate titles hadn't tried something on a larger scale. I commend them for being the ones to actually go for it, but who knows what we're actually going to end up with. I will say this, the current world they have does look very nice, but right now it seems WestEnd is further along on the development of his own game in terms of actual tricks.
Which reminds me, WestEnd, if you read this, please don't let this deter you from making your game. More than one option is always a good thing, and i have a feeling that an indie title made with the fake-skate communities best interest in mind will be a far better game than what could possibly be an attempt to make some quick cash off the 12 year olds who just want skate 4. just my two cents.
reminder: I haven't actually listened to the video. If anything super important was said please let me know.
edit: I watched again with the captions on. I didn't miss anything important, but it did confirm the option to use your touchscreen to play the game, which is a gimmick and a half. Anyone trying to actually skateboard in the game would not benefit from this at all
