The Board Room: Episode 3 | skate. 

@Skate. please don't feel like your under the fire to have to rush to put this game out, take your time to make the best game possible. Love you guys!

Proximity chat would be cool in here .. being able to wave someone down like broo that was sick

Hey EA. As a fan of the game I’d like to make a suggestion and hopefully someone reads this might take it into consideration but can you make a setting to make switch stance tricks stay looking switch? I’d love for the switch pushes to look switch too! I’m sure a bunch of skaters would appreciate this little detail. Thanks!

Skate 3s soundtrack is so legendary would be amazing to have it as a radio channel or a separate playlist for the nostalgia

We need an offline version 😩😩

Really hoping you will add an offline mode. This game looks great and should be preserved.

I hope board sales are still in the game. It gives skating another purpose along with just skating for the fun of it, as well as creating an obvious goal for the player. It also made the unlocking of new challenges and clothing feel like a rational part of the story. Also; I'm afraid this game will be soulless and too "corporate". The other games all had a lot of soul and personality, especially the first Skate, which I personally feel like really captured skate culture perfectly. Playing it felt like I was just hanging out with my friend group, and it was really cool to have actual skaters in the game

You’ve got a lot of our childhoods/high school years memories in your hands, don’t feel any need to rush this, I think we’re all just happy to see this series coming back

I’m so hype that y’all confirmed a story mode being back, that’s was probably one of my most worrying things about the new skate game but I’m glad a story is coming

I really thought the series came to a end after skate 3. I’m so hyped to see what you guys bring but please do take your time we’re all be here when it’s ready

I just want a realistic mode like Session. I'm confident Skate will deliver on all other areas, a realistic mode where you have to use both sticks to do tricks, as well as land perfectly on a rail to lock in would be the icing on the cake.

just thrilled to see how this game is going to be incredible! take your time, no need to rush. we know you guys will deliver the best game possible. ❤❤❤

Iv been playing the skate games everyday since skate 1 and it was the first time I felt a game really captured the essence of skating. so hyped!

The transparency and communication from the developers has been immaculate, and I am super excited for their vision of the future of Skate. That said, I don't know if I can truly get on board if there is no offline mode. I still play skate. (2007) to this day, but I won't be able to do that with this new Skate game if it'll always requires an internet connection. One day those servers will be shut down, and when that happens, everything this game ever was and will be will cease to exist.

The thing i would want is a "wax system" the wax system means that you can go jump to a ledge or rail and you can press a button to wax it and what wax does is makes the ledge or rail more smooth and have a different noise when grinding or sliding. When without wax you will slow down when grinding way faster then when grinding or sliding with wax and the noise will be different, if grinding without wax and land awkwardly on the ledge or rail your character will bail and hit the ground. Please make this a thing

I play Skate 1 almost everyday. I'm not really into the parkour/activities focus here. I hope they pay as much attention to the basics too like the transition animations inbetween tricks and pop height out of grinds. I love simply carving as Mike Carroll in the community centre. The way he puts his backfoot over the bolts when he turns and his kickflip style is still unmatched. The slappies and firecrackers got me excited though.

I’m excited for this game. But my one worry is that all the updates we’ve seen are talking about stuff that isn’t anything to do with skating. Haven’t heard them talk once about the physics and realism of skating. Stat menu? Variations in animations? Landing animations? I’m all for climbing and ‘flumping’ as they put it. But I wanna be able to make a realistic edit or do realistic looking tricks. That’s why I liked skate originally, it felt very realistic. Im also worried that the gravity physics look way to floaty. I hope you can adjust the gravity physics in the game so you can play more realistically I just hope that element is absolutely nailed and they’re not spending too much time on all this other stuff, as cool as it might be. I want a proper skating game first and foremost

Every time one of these comes out I get so excited, for the first time in a long time I feel like a really good game I'm going to play for a long time is coming out, and I don't really have any reason to believe I'll be disappointed

10:36 love the slow flip animations. one of my favorite additions

devs sharing and being so open about what is essentially a completely in dev build is amazing

The flip trick and grind animations are looking so crispy, I’m so exited it’s killing me 😫😫😫😫

I have to admit having a chance to listen to the actual developers talking about this project and what it means to them is pretty cool.

The game looks incredible - Please don't feel rushed by the impatient people. We can wait! if you really know the Skate series, you see way past the pre(+++) alpha aesthetic & appreciate how much awesome stuff is being implemented.

as a traditional Skate player and irl skater i’m pretty excited for the group challenges and the throwdowns even tho i prefer to play alone. skate tag sounds fun too tbh

I just hope it will get more skate-focused than what it looks right now.

Excited to hear more!

You are doing a great job with the activities. There really is something for everyone. The 'Throwdown' activities are hyping me up the most. The fact that I will be able to do an activity with my friend on any piece of terrain I choose is so sick. That is something I have been hoping for since Skate 3.

every boardroom ep. makes me more excited for the game, i can't wait to play.

I hope you guys add a ton of different shaped and sized boards, also wide trucks too!

I really appreciate that Gabe Newell is taking part in creating this game. A huge thumbs up!

I want to touch briefly on the non skate activities. I don't care about that at all. I just want to skate. Please do not waste time or dev hours on activities that are not related to skating. Overall, I am glad that you are making EA skate again. I was asking for years and you are delivering so for that I am grateful.

Will there be skating?

I loved how in skate 2 you spawned in a alley in some old industrial place, and you progress to this skaterbuilt skatepark called slappy’s, it realy sets the mood for the rest of the game! Hope for san vaneolna remaster in the future🤞🏻

Pease let this game be played offline! I hope it's not online only. Super excited for the full release!

I love how open about the game you folks are! The game looks awesome so far

I have done two playtests so far, IM LOVING IT. It always feels so smooth

Man, I'm stoked for this game. I've been playing since skate 1. I still have my skate 2 preorder shirt and am still wearing it proudly. I would've loved for them to bring the games to pc while we wait.

Hey-how about skating? Yeah…we don’t want to play parkour. We’re here to shred!

these guys are pretty good at sitting on a couch and reading signs

Loving the constant transparency and updates, keep up the great work!

Just hoping it has a good singleplayer. From what I've seen the game looks really fun and faithful to the Skate identity. Realistic skating and ragdoll chaos!!! 😂

hearing that theres going to be an evolving story like the other games makes me so happy, i was worried from what they said last time

I have never been more excited for a game in my entire life. Thank you so much.

SKATEBOARD FIRST PLEASE! Improved skating should be the core. VERT with coping... pads... tricks... I'd love to be able to do a rock and roll, Madonna, correct footed airwalks. I could go all day!

happy that you’re uploading on 4/20!

My god all of this genuinely sounds incredible, the combination of skateboarding, parkour, customization and play driven real time creation make such a beautiful base layer. If you can have these activities, and rewards, and ongoing story, and all of this live service stuff go well and actually be fun to experience, you guys have a HIT on your hands. Skate is so special and this is shaping up to be a great return to form. Take your time team, we don't mind. ❤

'Always on multiplayer' sounds great on paper. But that definitely needs to be optional.

Cus is such a shredder. love the dude

This might be silly, but I'm really hoping they'll announce an open PC playtest. I'm having a new comfy chair delivered on the same day, so I would play nonstop for hours and hours.

I love how you can see that you guys really put your heart into this game

Hyped! Hope you guys take all the time you need to make it the best it can be 🏋️🏋️🏋️🏋️

Yesssss they confirmed a story mode! Been holding my breathe to hear that lol

I’ve never played a Skate game (only good ol’ THPS). But I am new at learning how to skate at 29 years old. Extremely excited for this!

This game is going to be awesome. It’s honestly going to be my most favorite game to play for a long ass time. I’m a super long time Skate fan. Been playing Skate since the first release. This series has been very impactful on my life. Thank you guys. Can’t wait for this release.

Thanks so much for being open with community! We are here to support you and wait for this exciting project :)

I'm so excited it's literally killing me! 😅 But I'll be patient lol. Thank you full circle and play test participants for shaping this game I can't wait to see how far we have come! I truly hope everyone is having an awesome day! See you all on 4/20. ❤️🤟🤘✌️🤙

The inclusion of Slappy’s and firecrackers is actually kinda huge. Also, the fact that some challenges will have restrictions such as “Manual combos don’t count” is _awesome_ As someone who played Skate 3 religiously, losing spot battles because of people who would do excessive manual combos was annoying. Glad to see people will need to adjust their play style per challenge. Keeps it fresh! I will state that I’m not a major fan of ‘always-online’ games. If I want to play Skate on a road trip and don’t have wifi access, I don’t like being restricted from large parts of the game. In my humble opinion, I would ask that you also pool plenty of time into singleplayer experiences for those who can’t or choose not to be online 24/7. That said, what you’re doing with your online experiences are *VERY* intriguing. Being able to throw down at _any_ spot _anywhere_ is sick. And the fact that the community can come together to do large-scale challenges as a group effort also sounds like so much fun! Keep up what you’re doing! Just don’t forget about the hardcore side of the community who would love difficult, realistic, singleplayer action.

yeah man creatively "flipping and jumping" already has a name. parkour.

Id like to see adding a way to like/bookmark specific spots. If/when the map changes, they will have a gauge of their content.

Quick! Let's analyze the thumbnail background for clues 😂

Slappy's and firecrackers!!!!! 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯

After seeing who is help making this I now know why we have parkour in this game. 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂

I really hope we get the sketchy landing animations one of my favorite things about skate 3

wow the footage is really looking amazing you guys have come so far in such a short period can’t wait to see what’s to come

Even if the game is going to be free to play, I would love to buy Story Mode as a DLC or something. The contests, film challenges, death races, hall of meat challenges... etc is what made the game so great and fun in my opinion.

If you guys did this organically and not scripted... It would be... So much better.

Is there even a release date "its out when its out" what a great work ethic lol

this looks like the most fun, this game will be played forever

This is amazing, can't wait to see the final skate. The hype is real.

Hey as a real life skateboarder and skate player tge game looks great, but please make sure you guy's focus is making a Skateboarding game. The parkour stuff is great and maybe you guys could make a separate traversal focused game later but please do not require any of the parkour stuff to progress the game, that's all. Thanks.

This looks awesome. Especially 12:41. My hope is that there’ll also be split screen mode. That would be a great new addition to the skate franchise.

I think my only suggestion is to get the skateboarding part of this game right before even thinking about anything else. If this doesn't feel like a next gen skateboarding game with best in class physics, lighting, world design and dynamic weather you're cruising for 6/10 scores.

I'm afraid this game is turning into a metaverse carnival... there is nothing in this video that makes me excited. Why does this need to be an always-on multiplayer experience. Can't wait for everyone to be in everyone's way ALLLL the time.

Man this ain’t coming out til next year or the year after

Poor lady is at gun point reading off of a script

Glad there is a story line! Played skate 3 so much and enjoyed both the multiplayer and single player modes. It'll be interesting to see what you guys have come up with when it comes to the storyline.

Seeing a possible quad or more variation other than kickflip got me so stoked. Cant wait for this game

0:00 is my favorite part

i honestly think realism should also be a factor because I think skate 1 and 2 were also fun to play. I just see bodies flopping around and I really hope they implement that in the game. 😢

Take all the time you need, all of us will wait patiently, thank you stake. and the devs that work on this game

Loveee itttt. Some that grew up playing skate this makes me so happy cuz❤ as long as I can still smack people with my board and get chased by security 🤣 keep it up fam

Activities are great but if the core skate mechanics are on par or crisp the long term fans won’t stick around no matter how big the playground is or how many activities there are. I’ve asked a few times and put it onto the ideas board very early on that the team needs to confirm there will be a hardcore mode. Part of the reason skate has stayed in everyone’s minds for so long is because of the hardcore fans that take skating seriously, the have spent countless hours in the film/replay editor and made their skate films and teams a reality within the game. If players of both the floaty, AND weighted/hardcore players aren’t being thought of when building this world you’ll be missing a lot of your core audience. Me along with a majority of people have been waiting to immerse ourselves in the world that real skates have built. We need to see more flat ground tricks, and the tricks Mullen did, and stuff Andy Anderson is doing now. Please take this into account, and don’t neglect this.

I'm so keen this skate is gonna be so good, I don't mind how long we have to wait ya boy is just keen to hear what yall wizards are up to through these boardroom vids. Also this just jumped in my head but have yall considered the possibility of proximity voice chat?

i've never been this excited for something 🔥🔥

hardcore / realistic mode?? would like to hear something about that!

They look nervous. I'm feeling like something is off here especially with Cus because that guy is usually really high energy.

I am a HUGE fan of the skate games and can't wait until this comes out.

i know everyone is saying the same thing, but PLEASE dont rush this game. this game could be a masterpiece if you guys take your time. there are so many possible elements you guys could add to this game since it really is just a game to chill and have fun. put some patient love into this game for the community because we have been waiting for this game for years

I’m not playing no skating game until this releases 😂. Started from the beginning and have so many hours into them. Can’t wait!

I wonder if they’ll add duel stick controls and give you an option like a tony hawk style if you just want to mess around, a classic skate style, and a realistic duel stick style. I think it would make a lot of people happy

Can’t wait!! Take your time there is no rush to put this game out

Super excited for Throwdowns. It'll make casually playing with friends so much fun.

EA's got them on a tight leash, they look and talk like they have guns pointed at their heads. I'm getting cartel execution video vibes lmao.

i dont like how theyre emphasizing that theyre trying to cater towards people that dont know anything about skateboarding, also @ 3:45 switch looks broken because the characters head model is looking backwards? hope they fix that

the gameplay looks amazing already, don’t give up.

We’ve waited this long for it and honestly, I wouldn’t mind waiting another year or 2 for it to release, downloading skate 3 as we speak

i really hope there is a story like the first game

I hope there will be good server stability because one of the most annoying things in multiplayer games is input lag because of bad servers and also some sort of anti cheat because PC games are more easily modified.. Last multiplayer sports game I played was NBA 2K and both things are a problem there

YES! a feeling of Progression! that's what we need, rewards, challenges, that's progreession

Awesome job guys! Can’t wait to hear more 🙌
