Could This Be The End For Session: Skate Sim?? 

They need to work on, well really redo, the animation.

Yeah transition needs a big upgrade

they trying , not a big team , takes time lpl

@@tvsavery666they are rn , they jus hired new animators

@@bonkiozz source? As far as I know they've only said they've hired people, no info as to who they hired and what they do

Bro that shit URKS MY NERVES 🤦🏿‍♂️ I go cut on the physical animations and my players legs and ankles look broke 😵‍💫 lol session needs so many fixes they need to hire new people or sale the rights to the game and let some high level developers and game creators take over

I've just been wanting to see better animations for years now, feel like we're never getting them.

@@durrik man same here smh they need to sale the rights to the game to a actual gaming company/engine and let some other devs take full control of the game and remake it with the same controls

They all work now. JL got on the team and fixed them somehow. Lol

Yup, but I am pretty sure that it took a lot of effort and the constant nagging of the community wasn't a nice thing to witness being the developer! 😅

@@EaSkateVideo a dev should be used to that and KNOW that that will happen if they have bugs in their game! they should listen to the community and not be like OH we have fucked up this and that lets just dont add real spots anymore so we dont need to add historical challenges etc. kinda crazy how they full on switched what they want to do with this game! it was bout 90s skatin scene and now idk what their plan is honestly! love this game but it takes weird turns atm

Good positive outlook!

Lol the skating has been updated plenty of times in the past year what are you talking about ?

@@jamariojackson4289 not since 1.0, the only things I can possibly think of are board breaking and impossibles being fixed, kind of, but board breaking doesn't do anything for how it feels to skate around. There hasn't been any meaningful changes or improvements to the skating since 1.0, unless I'm forgetting something? There have been some nice audio tweaks, the rest has just been gear and diy stuff basically

@@_sam.__ Well yeah I guess not since 1.0 but the skating has been updated. I love this game, but there’s just something missing that’s keeping me from playing everyday. Really if I’m not making content, then I’m not playing this game tbh it gets boring after a few hours.

@@jamariojackson4289 yeah it's an amazing game, it just doesn't have the necessary manpower and funding behind it to take it as far as it could go, but the next update is improving scoop controls and the board alignment, which to me already makes it a better update than everything we got since 1.0, looking forward to seeing what else is coming

Congrats, dude. You deserve it!

We love ya broooo keep bring the sick content

W !

Thanks so much for harping your opinion on this very much needed for the fanbase. Very devastating to hear they're taking a step back from that. I hope with the video and your speech on why it would be a bad idea brings them back to reality a bit and makes them rethink things a little. Cause that's a huge loss right there. They're virtually taking away the games edge over other skaters and using live locations instead of originally designed maps. it's the the very thing that gives it it's uniqueness and they're wiping it out like it never happened. Very heartbreaking to hear they'll no longer be adding other cities. And to creature if you're in the comments think of the games progress and where it is right now and think of what heights you can take it using real sites. it's a lot more hard work but it's also very much more fulfilling. I think covering other spots of the country would be substantial to keep this awesome fanbase going gotta do it for the fans! 😎

Big facts. Animations are needed.

Thank you!!

I hope the gameplay actually improves for once. Only transition skating has really seen an improvement since early access

@KharonYT hope so as well. They teased a bit but we will see what's all been adjusted this next update

Not remaking real life cities doesn’t mean they can’t make an original city like skate 3 , it doesn’t mean they will only do skateparks at all

@@joelbartorfr lmao

I think we’ll still see street/city maps, just not complete recreations of any real world places!

I would bet money they are transitioning to this map style just to sneak in multiple spots like you stated above into one map or a couple maps, like a school or campus map would be sick af and could include spots like el Toro and Carlsbad easily and it would still make sense

I was just playing and I get so mad there's no runoff feature.. the ragdoll is cool for some bails tho

Thanks bro!!

100%, if they bring the same quality as they brought to the current maps, they will still be great!

turn off the player physics or whatever its called if you have that issue! also idk if they fixed it yet but DO NOT push mongo

​@@lostworldofjj5 months later and mongo is still an issue. That sucks, bc there are times when a quick switch mongo push looks good in the middle of a line.

Oh and congrats for the 5k dude! You have a very unique style. Simple and humble. It's a pleasure to follow you and watch your content.

I mean small indie studios make finished and pretty much perfect games all the time. And Creature hasn't been a indie studio in a long time. Nacon bought them out in 2021 making them a AA studio.

@@PirunKankkee i agree but making a small game with simple mechanics is easier than a skate game involving animation, mocap, physics,... It needs time and money.

@@legumanigo I agree with you to a certain point. Session is really complex and I'm not even going to try to claim to understand all the work that goes into it, but most games implement some sort of physics and animations, Session isn't unique in that sense and they did mocap years ago. The biggest problem is that they don't seem to know how to hire a animator. It's been over a year since they had one(not counting the one they hired last fall since he was hires and fired in a matter of months and didn't seem to fix anything), so they can't fix animations, utilize the mocap's and seem like they can't fix physics problems without an animator because that would break the existing animations.

Nacon fucked creature.

god tier reference

I’d say before they add grabs they probably need a new animator, otherwise the grabs will look terrible

XL isn't any better, honestly I'd say its worse when it comes to maps. They legit made the exact same skatepark 3 times as separate maps

@@craig205 shit , well at least it has spots you can download and it’s a more finished game im just dreading having to learn the controls and forget my session controls /:

@@craig205 or should I just mod session to get more out of it ?

@@Melousedtoskate honestly I don't play much of skater xl these days, but with a simple stats menu it feels more finished than session. Also the community is larger so there's always a new map to play. The only reason I play session these days is because I make mods for it and need to test them.

@@Melousedtoskate honestly you could download mods, but if you want to play skater xl go for it and figure out which one you like more. I will say vanilla skater xl isn't that great from what i've heard and seen though

Good point!

Agree Atlanta and Houston

I think the paid DLC model for maps is here to stay, they need to make money somehow!

@@itspigeonthief I sadly believe that to be true but I feel there’s so many ways to draw attention to the game and sell more copies that they could do I think it feels very unfinished spots wise with the current selection of maps but I’ll hold out my hope for any new content soon

Same I should’ve learned my lesson after easy day killed skater xl

what? how , they're literally still working on the game and maps not being located in real life spots doesnt really matter

@@qahiko_ it’s not even just about the maps and you can say the same thing ab easy day they both released a “complete” unfinished game then both released a few maps and that’s basically it

@@qahiko_ Goofy stance- in my opinion this game should not had been released yet. They released an unfinished skateboarding game with their 1.0 release. Goofy stance is half of the skateboarding population, each and every Goofy player has to look at a switch stance character and that is just not acceptable. Animations- the characters pushing animations, trick animations, all have not changed since early access. As much as they claim it has, it’s the same. Besides the fact that you can buy it on consoles now, this game is very much still in its early access state. Lack of throw downs- they made it seem like such a big deal to get off of your board, but for what? It looks like complete shit. If you can’t properly get back onto your skateboard, it defeats the purpose if I can get around to spots easily through the menus. Lack of shit to do. There’s a handful of challenges and I’ll give them that (over easy day studios and their abomination of a skateboarding game) but once all the trick/spot challenges are complete- it’s just a desolate world. They need to incorporate new challenges that pop up sporadically across the maps throughout your gameplay to keep people intrigued.. whether these be high score missions, games of skate against pros, best trick contests.. literally anything to make it feel like an actual GAME. I know they call it a “skate sim” but that just brings me back to my first complaint- you can’t call yourself a “skate sim” and not include BOTH STANCES proper. I honestly feel like I could go on and on. They dropped the ball HARD. And really I’m only pissed because these are things they said would be fixed by 1.0 (animations, goofy stance, throwdowns). I may sound like I’m just bitching and complaining but if they were nearly as passionate as I am about skateboarding they would understand that these things matter.

@@producedproductions yeah i skate goofy and i resorted to using normal bc of how it looks 🥲 and i get all that but idk i love how the game is it just needs maps , they have a really small team and they give constant updates online so i still hold out hope for them to add all those things

New animator you say? Now this is will be interesting…

I mean you already can do this on pc, it would be cool if they allowed these maps on consoles though.

@@screwball992 I mean yeah obviously you can make mod maps on pc. I'm talking about a park creator as an official feature in the game.

Same tbh but I’ll still play it.

This criticism is harsh sounding I know, but I do love the game so don't get it twisted. I want them to achieve more is all

Possibly, but the real life Lake Dolores water park has been abandoned for years, I don’t think anyone has anything to do with it anymore.

This doesn't necessarily mean that. They have one guy who's job it is to make maps. His job will still be making maps, just focusing on original ones instead of recreations. So it's not like they had all their people making maps and are now pulling them to focus on other things. Changing from recreated to original maps isn't about freeing up extra time for other things.

same ):

100%

Would have loved to see a version of London!

We still gonna get lots of street maps, just no full IRL city recreations!

@@itspigeonthief no i know i just wanted to make the joke

@@itspigeonthief i think its better honestly they get to be more creative

Modded, and it’s just a port from XL. An official LA map from Crea-ture would be a lot better.

Yep, that’s what I said in the video, no more recreations of real life cities, just completely original map designs!

PC and console updates will now be dropping at the same time which is good to know. They also teased recently that big things are coming soon, so an update is hopefully just around the corner!

@@itspigeonthief aye thanks for that!

I think maps are more than aesthetic nonsense, what’s the point of having great gameplay mechanics if you got nowhere good to use them?
