The Board Room | skate. 

we need all this + MMO. having exclusively singleplayer stuff + freedom to play with friends would still be good, but exclusive MMO would be terrible.

This is an extremely important comment. Offline + story are a must

Wasn't the 'story' in Skate 3 bare bones as heck

@@jamiedavinci1328 Yep. Skate 2 had a pretty nice, engaging single player campaign though.

I agree

Why would anyone trust an unproven studio being managed so poorly because of WFH policies that upper ea management decided to push the game to F2P and port it (or worse target it) to mobile?

@@Nothinglastsforever It's more likely that the only thing that got EA to approve their pitch was that it could potentially be a free to play cash cow like fortnite. Remember EA sat on the Skate IP for an entire decade doing absolutely nothing with it, most likely passing on various proposed entries in the series during that time.

Facts it's scary😨

@@Nothinglastsforever being an “unproven” studio means nothing when several of the people in charge of the project at Full Circle are veterans who have worked on every skate game.

@@Nothinglastsforever I mean yeah but you don't have to buy the skins in Fortnite it just makes you look cool that's it

same here dude. i have a google alert about skate 4 and over the past year or so, every time something new comes up i've gotten giddy like a little kid. i've wanted this for such a long time. it's a huge gut-punch to see the rumors turn out to be true - the fucking game is free to play. what a massive disappointment.

Unfortunately they won't listen, it's all about money In this day and age bro

I couldn’t agree more . I wish they would just listen to us . I have a feeling this game is going to be a HUGE let down

@@olliebert2788 I agree it’s all about creating an endless experience and trying to make addicted people keep spending their money on skins and any micro transaction they can throw at them. There is nothing drawing them to spend money and resources to develop a story and build characters to people who can put the controller down. It’s obvious greed from EA.

I totally agree with you and I'm reassured to see that other players don't want this free to play side

Yeah I’m perfectly fine with paying 45 bucks for it

... Just like how they killed Titanfall by some moron at EA making the release directly next to Battlefield...

I'd do the same thing they give y'all something just for y'all to cry and complain about it y'all are ungrateful just admit to it

Id pay 70 dollars for it tbh

I doubt it, Just read the comments they've put in the video, they're listening. I don't doubt in 2-3 years you will be able to hop into "Skate." and be able to ride a scooter, BMX, or even rollerblades if we asked for it....

I'm 90% sure EA will pull their typical bullshit but I hope I'm wrong

I think boards, trucks, wheels, clothes will be unlockable through play. But there could be an option to just pay for those who don’t want to grind. I predict a campaign and then a online kind of like GTA 5 online but for skating.

@@wizard932 I hope its like that

Something that worry’s me is how free to play games are designed to be as addictive as possible. They’ll release seasons with cosmetic that will can only be obtained during that season so you feel like you have to keep playing to unlock them or you miss out instead of playing a game whenever you want. The game doesn’t even need to be free to play. Ubisofts Riders Republic does this and I think sea of thieves also and they are both fully paid games.

@@wizard932 yeah but its gonna be like gta story mode where they have some cool things but all the crazy cooler stuff will be locked for only online players which will suck cause i like playing skate solo idc about online

They say their big thing is to not fuck it up but i mean they already fucked it up and all this community nonsense might as well be thrown out the window they should know that we don’t want none of that shit

@@subman4594 lmaoo this comment honestly puts everyone’s thoughts together perfectly - why even bring up “community” and “what we want” when they know damn well we don’t want this shit

I hope they have an option to buy the game and Get all the cosmectiscs that way. And a free to play and microtransaction. Like then you can statisfy both groups

hate to break it to you bud but this is EA, They have gone to the dark side and they dont care what us gamers think. This is the new era of gaming where everything is now locked behind a paywall and the "its free to play" excuse is used as a reason to sell us everything that we would have got if the game was full price. This is exactly why over 80% of the games I play now are all indie games. AAA games dont excite me at all anymore in the slightest.

they are going to fuck it up, name one ea game in the 5 years they haven't made into microtransaction filled pay to win mess, the only saving grace is it's skateboarding, not a looter shooter or battle royale, in order to pull their normal shit they have make it competitive alot of people aren't going to care about that, i could easily play by myself and not care about any of that, that leaves cosmetics, as long as you have free options you can earn that still look good i don't care, but it needs an offline mode or at least the ability to create local servers and the ability to mod

$5 to unlock the next cutscene.

they already have all those kinds of missions in the prealpha build, it'll be pretty much the same as playing any other skate game

@@catethps How much were you paid to say that?

@@POOKISTAN ive been playing the leaked build mate

@@catethps Well, your leaked build does not have the monetization in it - In fact, I'm guessing the monetization is going to ACTUALLY kick in a couple weeks or more after launch so they can get positive reviews out before they start ripping people off. Yay - They have some semblance of a single-player. At the end of the day, we all know it's going to work its way back to multiplayer and point to your wallet at some point, and the question is whether or not you even want to invest yourself 'til that inevitably happens...

you can still do challenges to unlock stuff, you earn in-game currency for playing the game normally and beating challenges which you can use for clothes/objects

7:44 No paid loot boxes. May be an item shop or battlepass type system which does suck but It's EA at the end of the day you can't expect them not to do that

the creative director made it pretty clear that this game has nothing to do with previous skate games. and basically every game coming out from now on is going to be a live service game. if you like the content from the old skate games then go play it. this is the new standard model of video games.

@@iamonmypersonalcomputer Yeah. Not what I wanted for the next skate game still.

They need more consistent flow of money than just for the copy of the game. I think that the decision to make the game free to play is the best for a longevity of the game.

yeah because spending money makes the series automatically fun

@@bruhmomentum6315 sounds like something a broke person would say

@@bruhmomentum6315 free to play means probably no story and all of the cosmetics locked behind a pay wall. That was the fun of the last 3 games

@@bruhmomentum6315 EA making a free to play game means being able to do a lot but missing a lot because you need to pay extra for it, Like Apex. Skate 3 however, only had some DLC's, like clothing, and a couple maps, this is going to be ONLY multiplayer, NO offline, and there is 100% going to be a battle pass. They could have just stayed with the skae 3 engine and built up from there, they decided to make their game as money hungry as possible, for no reason, like at all

Skate 3 didnt really have a story tho you sold boards intil you unlocked more missions to sell more boards.

It's 100% going to be online only, no singleplayer stuff. All based around servers and playing with other people

@@GDUBMX kinda scary then

@@GDUBMX when did they say that?

You can already launch into singleplayer

Foreals they better not mess up

Stop crying

@@ripxev mfer liked his own comment xD shut up

The game isn't out yet so we really can't say anything it could be better than skate 3 or be horrible we dont know anything so maybe lets just wait till we get our hands on the game to either praise it or hate it

@@king-peticca We know EA.

@@king-peticca it needs to be better than skate 3 what else is there to do in that game

If it's somewhere close to fortnite , apex legends, and valorant... There won't be sporadic microtransactions. I can see them implementing a monthly to every second month battlepass. So you grind the battlepass tiers and unlock cosmetics etc, each battlepass might bring new challenges and content that free tier players can still take part in, but they just wont be unlocking paid battlepass cosmetics with the XP they earn.

there's already tonnes of objectives..... go play the leaked build

@@catethps when I say objectives I mean like own the spot, photo, hall of meat, etc. are these present in the current build? From what I’ve seen it looks like there might just be daily challenges, I don’t have the beta so I’m not for sure.

@@scaers4398 there's photo and own the spot challenges as well as the new guesser challenges

I think there will still be a campaign mode. And probly a bunch of new activities for online. No way online will just be owning spot with friends lol

Exactly

thats ironic because skate 3 had in game purchases and its was a paid game, i dont see why f2p is so bad

@@karande75 They were actual DLC maps not decks, trucks, shirts, hairstyles, pants, etc. Its differemt because Skate 3 in game purchases were actual content.

well it sounds like the gameplay devs care, and it looks like the gameplay experience is getting there so I think the moment to moment experience will probably be pretty good.

@@karande75 Stop simping for a megacorporation you clown

!!!!!!!

My favorite one from skate 3 is the one were you meet rob dyrdek and Josh kalis cause I was still in my everything dc faze as a kid

10000%! haven’t seen much people talk about single player I love multiplayer but I fell in love with skate because of how cool the story mode was in the first game, they nailed it..with the intro video , getting sponsored, then the pro challenges! I remember I wanted the Nikes P-ROD was wearing but I couldn’t beat his pro challenge but eventually got better at the game then beat it and it was super rewarding! I really hope they focus on elements like this and not hone in too much on being able to do flips n stuff!

Yes exactly I need my favorite pros and I need to pinch crooks and suskis

I need to have rob dyrdek back in the game

When was skate considered an MMO

100% agree online can be really annoying and filled with trolls that are super annoying. Playing single player is the best to feel free and create anything you want.

have some faith

Honestly as long as the micro transactions don't lock tricks away I'm cool with it. If they're gonna be charging money for decks and clothes though they better have some sick stuff, I wanna skate the same board I skate irl in skate 4 if they're charging

Gta has invite only and friend servers. I’m sure it’s probably something that will be included. I story/career will be missed though.

@@matthewrehfeldt7937 This. I can understand some of the community's trepidation, but I'm also happy that we're getting some form of 4th iteration of the series, on PC too. The other three games are there and will always be there to pick up to some degree, so if there something in the new game fans don't fuck with, I won't knock them, but as long as F2P doesn't mess with me skating on the same rail for an hour like I do in SkaterXL, then I'm not worried inm the slightest.

seems the studio wants to kill the Skate franchise ..they seem very determined to do that ....

@@zooted5443 but that isn't what everyone inherently wants. just because it's the dominant format for games nowadays doesn't mean that it's better or acceptable. while I fully understand why they are going this route, it's sad that they haven't said anything suggesting that there is going to be a single player experience. not to mention the fact that not everyone has access to great internet connection, so if there's no solo experience then they're missing out on a large chunk of players.

@@zooted5443 I don’t mind playing with the homies here and there, but at its roots this game was story mode eccentric with free roam. Plus as a trucker, I was hoping to play this game offline in a solo sesh when I’m out over the road and not connected to a server. Rather pay $60 for a complete experience than free to play micro transactions imo. If anything games like NBA 2K and Madden should be free to play since it’s just an updated roster every year.

@@zooted5443 so because it isn't 2010 anymore all games must suck ? That's your argument?

REPLY FOR YOU AND DEVS a game being ftp doesnt determine if it dies in 10-12 years, we also have literally no info on their ftp model or microtransactions, we can actuall vocalise how wed like them to go about the ftp model rather than say oh im not gonna get the game because its ftp. id rather have seasonal iterations of content every couple months with maybe a long battle pass with a ton of stuff to earn but also at the same time 2X the content of the battlepass but completely free and seperate that IS SET UP to be EARNED, but CAN be bought if players dont want to grind for it because guess what alot of us do work a ton and its nice to not have to do absolutely insane grinding for some cosmetic gear because i want to look cool and that all the battlepass hear is themed around something i dont like. if anything i can expect some type of skate kred micro currency but i REALLY WANT IT TO BE CHEAP like a TON of cosmetic gear you can get for the value of like 5$ in game, like 30 pieces of cosmetic stuff or something. if we get a battlepass in the ftp model and earnable gear we need far more earnable gear than cosmetics at all times of the game being out and grinding for gear needs to be rewarding and time consuming but not absolutely absurd, id gladly pay 60$ for the game but at that point im not enticed to spend anymore money vs if its ftp im liekly to drop more than 60$ on cosmetics because THE COSMETICS feel like theyre valued that much. FOR THE DEVS IF THEY SEE THIS DO NOT GIVE US LESS CUSTOMIZATION OPTIONS THAN END OF CONTENT RELEASE SKATE 3 AT BASE FOR THIS GAME, DO NOT GET RID OF ALL THE WAYS WE COULD CUSTOMIZE OUR CHARACTERS LIKE ACTUALLY PUTTING YOUR OWN DESIGNS ON BOARDS AND LIMBLESS GLITCHES BEHIND PAYWALLS AND BATTLE PASSES, YOU WILL 100% KILL THE GAME IF THE CUSTOMIZATION IS BAD, I HAVENT TOUCHED HALO INFINITE SINCE LAUNCH AND IT WILL BE REGARDED AS A TERRIBLE LAUNCH FOREVER, THIS IS HOW DEVS LOSE TRUST. TO PLAYERS AND CONSUMER STOP BUYING GAMES WHEN DEVS DO LESS WORK, IVE SPENT NO MORE MONEY ON HALO INFINTE AND WILL NOT BE PICKING IT BACK UP UNTIL FORGE IS OUT AND IF FORGE AND CUSTOM GAMES ARENT GODLY THEN RIP INFINITE, I WILL NEVER EVER BUY A HELLO GAMES GAME BECAUSE THEY LIED ABOUT NO MANS SKY MULTIPLAYER, STOP SUPPORTING THOSE TYPE OF DEVS FFS.

I’d be willing to bet this decision is more so thanks to EA rather than them directly. Maybe I’m wrong, but I could definitely see this as part of the deal to get this green lit in the first place.

This isn’t madden or fifa or a pay to win game made by EA, the only things that will cost money are cosmetics like decks and skins.They’re planning on making this the last skate game but keeping it going and updated, kinda like Minecraft. In order to do that they have to make money off it. I’m perfectly fine with paying for non game altering cosmetics because it will help keep the game running. This isn’t ultimate team where you have to pay money to be good, it’s skate. Your gonna have the same experience as everyone else whether you spend money or not. And it’s not made by the same scumbags that make the sports games it’s made by people who actually care about the skate community.

Just tired, sad and disappointed. Back to the skate trilogy for my fix for the foreseeable future again I guess... Sigh.

Their might be a single player side to the game! I mean that would make a lot of sense! Let’s say you are trying to complete those missions and see your favorite skate boarders in the story mode with your created character and stuff! That would be sick & then when you’re like let’s play online with randoms etc it will make it a welcome experience for everyone.

But I fully understand how most people “DITCH” the single player part and automatically load up online. I mean we know multiple games where people don’t even care about the single player, but they have to understand that this is “Skate.” The single player mode was very fun with its challenges. This is not Call of Duty.

No go with f2p there literally a dlc where you can unlock everything I'd rather actually play the game normally most people probably bought that because of how long it takes to get everything I only did it because I played skate 3 before and I'm not unlocking everything again it's a waste of time they don't need to add dlc to this game anyway I'll just buy it with real money casue I ain't broke like some of y'all mfs on the internet

theres hope in a modding community cracking it to play offline, creating local servers once someone figures out modding tools itll be wide open to community fixes, sad it'll have tocome to that but what else can be done

You gonna be able to play solo player bro it’s okay

You're already disappointed? Bruh the game isn't even out yet.

yes please!

Yeeeessss

story mode is 99.99 per missions, sorry teehee

@@bvdatech1 EA will mess this up

No nobody wants a sequel to skate 3 nobody even asked for it and what fans? Where cause last time I checked little kids play skate I haven't see not one grown ass man play this game

Or "diversity"

@@mr.rosenberg9047 yup

It seems like the game will let you earn a cosmetic or purchase it. Sort of like gta online

@@noaharkadedelgado I just hope they don’t model it off fortnite or something, it would really suck not being able to have heaps of options for customisation that you don’t have to pay real money for

this is my exact hopes. i’m not sure if i’m gonna play if there’s no story. i know it sounds petty and or stupid. but that’s the magic behind all those skate games.

The only thing we can do is wait for the real Skate 4 game…… in 12 years …….

@@pvrrp666 you’re 100% right. I really hope they don’t ignore it to make a dumb MMO with way to many micro transactions

@Dan Trebune Agreed

Micro transactions would be okay if they just released a full game, instead we get half done crap that’s free

@@quitgold2434 where did they say "the game will be half done crap"

@@snekboy2775 why would they say it if it was true?

@@snekboy2775 not saying it will be half done crap just saying games built around micro transactions usually are

I hope you dont play Apex, fort, rocket league or warzone if you have takes like this.

@@-dmm i dont i like good games

@@youreyeahyuh3437 doesn't have to be good to be fun. It's f2p at the end of the day. you didnt risk anything other than a couple of GBs on your preferred console and play the game and leave and uninstall. You're taking this way too far. And you can't even have a normal convo and come up with this "low blow" joke lmao

@@-dmm I think it’s safe to assume by the comments and just logically a lot of people who play skate usually don’t play games like you mentioned. MTX makes sense in games like those because the gameplay loop while extremely repetitive is varied by the opponents you’re playing against so you never really have to add a whole bunch of content and can just churn out paid cosmetics which is fine. In a game like this though theres only so many times you can grind a hubba a certain way or hit a line the way you want and players will eventually want more content but in a live service model its always designed in such a way to add as little gameplay content as possible and sell as many cosmetics as possible which wont work for a game like this. Just look at Halo Infinite which has a severe lack of content but a plethora of cosmetics which is the opposite of what halo players are used to. The only way this model would work is if it was like destiny where you had paid add-ons or expansions but they have stated no content will be paid for so this at the moment seems unlikely. F2P live service is fine and works great in games with repetitive game loops that are dependant on opponents like battle royals or even sports games like Fifa/Madden/NBA would be perfect for a live service model but the way skate games are and at the very least the way people want them, a live service version will simply not work and will certainly have many many flaws.

@@-dmm I actually don’t but Apex and RL do it pretty well. The thing is that in the Skate games you’ve always been able to unlock a lot of cool gear just by playing the game. What scares me is them keeping free unlocks to a minimum so you pay $10 for a bundle from your favorite brand.

Agreed ^

I'm still disappointed but full circle hopefully won't over price simple clothing and boards and trucks.

@@terryglover6442 I hope there’s sum affordable lump sum option to avoid the micro transaction bullshit that seems to find its way into every video game nowadays. I absolutely love the skate franchise and I’m happy to support them by paying a lump sum for the game or something comparable, but I do not like the idea of micro transactions in a Skate game.

That’s exactly what i was thinking

@@yazmuraben8462 no lootboxs is good, and if the season pass is reasonable I won't be that upset because I know F2P has to make money somehow

Why be worried. Apex legends (which is an EA game) is monetized very well all cosmetic

Bro why pay 60$ when you can spend 20$ for a sweet costume and emote!! And then again and again and again 😂🤢

@@Jimbeamlahey well you don't need to do you. Have some control

@@inanimatejon1450 he was joking

@@ClutchBuster I know but even then at the end of the day he is right that is somewhat how the monetisation will be I was just making a point🙈

That’s so sweet to think about. Was so happy to get my wife’s little brother into skate 3 and playing it with me, we’re going to have so much fun playing this game!!! Hope you all do the same

I KNOW RIGHT BRO😮, SAME HERE

I still play skate 3 every week. I love that game. My young kids also love playing it. Granted they laugh when you crash and break bones. So hoping skate 4 has hall of meat!

The whole franchise is still worth playing too . I still jump on skate 1 simply cuz it felt more realistic. But skate 3 is an all time favorite. Definitely recommend for anyone !

This is insane to think about

i'll take reda over coach frank any day

Noo ea just make MOOOONNNNEEEEEYYYYYYY

They don’t give a fuck. they’ve been knowing exactly what we want for years. it’s just like battlefield 2042 - they’re gonna do whatever the hell they want to do

It's 2022 lmao that's not gonna happen

^^ This.100%

@@ryanrussell9123 exactly. Bygone era. Not a single (triple A) dev will ever do this.

In some ways we're returning to the days of arcade games. Stuffing endless change into games that are artificially inflated shallow experiences so they seem like "better value". but because the game is free, inevitably it's gonna be a half finished glitchy piece of shit requiring a day one patch. Hence all this talk of "we're gonna be constantly updating and adding features/tweaking" which is, as always, code for "good luck getting this to run the day it comes out, fuckers!"

And to everyone who disagrees. Watch this space when it comes out 😂

true

I don't think that's what they are doing.

If there is no story mode I'll be devastated.

@@FumeRaiderTV Highly doubt there will be a single player. Sounds like they are building an MMO

@@JRDN1 single player mode is what honestly made skate an authentic skateboarding game, the building up, the different contest/championships, the meeting the pro’s, the filming for sponsorships… all of it. A career based skate is always a solid skate.

They had no choice to make a new skate game. It was all up to EA. Even the devs said it was the fans that caused EA to ask for a pitch from the devs.

@@iEscapeRealityGameplay that would make sense until you realize from what we have gotten , they think either way they do it the skate community will be pleased with it , EA as a company thinks everyone else is gullible including the studios working on the game , I wouldn’t be surprised if the new company shuts down if this is a big let down

@@iEscapeRealityGameplay the fact they were forced to make a new skate game by ea means not as much love will be put in as the last three , back then games didint take long to make , now they can take years to even develop , let alone market , the fact they have only been doing this for sub 2 years , plus all of the new fads like free to play being implemented, makes me think EA is going to do the same thing they always do when it comes to bringing back franchises, turning them into a cash grab , I couldn’t see why this would be any different right now

@@fluuidd skate 3 didn’t have that much love put into it either yet people still love it to death

@@Duby-rv7bx They didn't love it at first. It was sorta DOA from a commercial standpoint as - aside from the park builder and darkslides - everything about the game felt worse than in Skate 2. It took massive RU-vidrs doing videos on its absurd bugs to get it to achieve legit mainstream popularity.

I feel you bro

$10 per month to play online plus micro transactions :/ this needs offline mode. What a let down the gaming community has become

@@arthurmorganx9465 EA has been always been making games which money would be included so it isn't really a big suprise

@@arthurmorganx9465 who said it’s $10 a month

@@Itz_A3 Xbox and PlayStation have costed that much to play online forever

Yup you are right. The issue is, the only reason EA have greenlit the new skate, is because they now have the Live Service model to leach every little bit of money out of it. It wouldn't have seen the light of day otherwise. I kind of wish they'd sold the rights to another publisher.

mw 2019 doesnt have a good multiplayer tf

so you dont like that people will have access to the game?

@@CaraCreations1000 not at all. But it means there will be a significant downgrade in quality and no emphasis on a single story mode. We don’t want fortnight aspects in the skate game we’ve been waiting for for 10 years. Plus a mobile release means they can’t go all out on consoles which could mean a mediocre game over all

Such a bad bad bad idea gonna be a mess on day one

@@CaraCreations1000 how did poor people nab expensive consoles and gpus at all time highs?

@@CaraCreations1000 also I want to point out that free to play doesn’t necessarily mean you won’t have to pay for anything. EA is very greedy and they use “free to play” as a front to charge for other things. Sometimes you’ll end up paying more than you would if it was just a flat 60 dollars retail price. They say that they won’t do that but I don’t trust EA at all

People have already found some form of lootboxes through datamining. They wont be explicitly called "lootbox", they'll be disguised and tweaked a little bit so they have some plausible deniability.

I thought I was the only one 🥺🥺

😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

You know what's disappointing this comment nobody wants to listen to some kid and their sob stories about being skate 3 3 times in a row nobody cares about that you literally can buy cosmetics or you can grind them you must be deaf or something

Skate 3 as a whole game is boring the only reason I keep that game on my Xbox is because I'm waiting for this game to come out when this game comes out I'm deleting skate 3 I literally regret buying all the DLCs

Man I just care about cosmetics and the music

@@Qiyokuu exactly.

@@Qiyokuu yup

@@Qiyokuu Truth

it won't

there will be an offline mode, why r y’all tripping? they will have a free roam mode lol, just wait 😭

@water yea it’s also offline play we are talking ab, they most likely will have a story mode, and if not then it’s whatever , they def will have a mode were you can solo ride

have some faith

@water It's literally in the leaked build. Go look, the feature to play a private Fun City lobby has been in the game since September last year.

Yo don’t know if you seen it but the pre alpha was leaked I recommend watching a video of it or download it for yourself. There is single player and I’m pretty sure there is going to be a story. There’s a thing called skate view it allows you to see challenges all around the map so more then likely a story mode will be included. It may not be ethical but it put my pessimistic mind to rest about the game

i hope they do what they did with apex, the mobile version is practically a different game

@@karande75 one can only hope

Not how it works bro that’s like saying low end PCs hold back high end PCs
