CORRECTION: Schoolyard DLC dropped Feb 22nd so definitely not 6 months ago as I said in the video, idk where I pulled that number from. Also turns out they mentioned a new map is coming in their insta comments so that’s good news!!
4 months isn't long. I'm still playing the school map and of course other ones. I play session just about everyday. Granted not for long sessions but sometimes I catch myself losing time. I also play shredders waaaay too much as well. I booted skate 2-3 back up last week. Only played for 3 days then missed session!!! Wild
@@kevincollins8620it really is the best skating game out right now. you can tell skate 4 is adding movement options and collaborative area building and all that cause they just can’t match the core skating of session
@@edsonclaudeciro4482 they're not neglecting they already cancelled the feature. They've brought in industry veterans to help consult and they deemed it apparently impossible due to the way physics works in the game
@@GoScience123 "they deemed it apparently impossible due to the way physics works in the game" I still think this is a lie. Every game has a physics system to some degree and 3D games with physics engines have had multiplayer systems for close to two decades at this point. They simply don't want to do it. Say what you want about Easy Day, but at least they were upfront and honest about simply not wanting to add a stats menu.
I would love a new pushing system; Holding the button to load the pushing power with the leg holding further in the air, then it actually pushes when the button is released. New animations would be great too (Going on and off the board, bails, bad landings, bad grind and slide balance, landing from hights,...)
I like this idea! Like, you could time your release by the leg raise for efficiency or maybe even a rewarding boost for correct timing! And it would be good for small pushes as you mentioned with power loading
Also i wish they could fix smiths they are so wobbly if u dont lock in right. Also you could be going down the most massive 20 stair rail and your character is standing up completely straight. When I’m filming clips with certain shoes the ankles of the skater are completely broken and the shoes aren’t connected to the skater. Also bumping out of grinds is so weird what if you just want to go out normally and not do an awkward 90 degree turn to get out.
The ankle glitch should go if you turn the skater animation off in the experimental menu. Sucks without it tho so I just have to deal with the broken ankles lol what shoes have you found that don't seem to glitch? I've tried loads but still looks broken. Really hope they bring a update out soon and clear some of this crap up
I blame a lot of it on the fact they're published by Nacon now, as opposed to being a pure indie studio. ever since they hopped in with Nacon, they became more corporate and started to communicate less and less, most likely due to the fact they legally can't just talk about everything like they used to. I also think that we aren't seeing as much content now because of the upgrade to UE5. They are a really small team after all, usually only having like 1-2 people per section of the team. The art/map team are probably focused on porting the maps, textures, etc. over to the new engine, so we probably won't see any new maps, decks, object dropper stuff, etc. until after the port. Same with new gameplay features, the coding team are probably gonna be the busiest with having to make sure the physics system works in UE5, as well as literally all of the other coding in the game lmao. I expect that once they port over to UE5, we'll start to see more DLC's and they'll probably get back to their old ways of communication, but as for now, there most likely isn't anything for them to really talk about in terms of new stuff, and lets be real, nobody cares about their posts that aren't showing off new content
@@inlineonlinethey see 20k people buy $20 DLC that had less than 100 hours of work go into it. Even at $500/hr, that’s 50k. Versus 400k in sales. They’re financially incentivized to leave this game dead until people stop buying DLC
prio 1 animations prio 2 grinds, they wack and laggy as hell (nvm prio 2 gameplay and physics overall) i really hate the game in a good way it has so much potential but just a lil too arcade-y feeling just feels undone
i agree with the clothing part for consoles and stuff, for example we only have one pair of shorts to wear and i think different skate style animations would be sick like you could choose a steezy no effort style then a arms moving everywhere skating really fast hardcore style would be sick
I just want working vert physics, grabs, bonelsss and no comply tricks. Would be nice to see proper throwdown and caveman animations too. The game just feels like it's still in early access, finish the skateboarding physics please creature
facts man i called this out very very early on seeing their updates. I kept getting called "you are bad at the game" when i call out things wrong with the game..lol now im glad to see people waking up and calling it out!
I 100% agree with the clothes, gotta have a good fit! I think the upgrade to unreal 5 is a big job but it's going to be better than we might think. I think simple things like more board graphics from the established brands (Zero, Flip, Element, etc..) and better daily/weekly challenges would be nice. If they were higher reward I would definitely do those more often. Great video as always, cheers!
I agree, I’m not downplaying how important that fix is. My question is how important is the UE5 update as a whole aside from that one fix? What else would we get that UE4 doesn’t already provide?
@@itspigeonthiefgraphics. That’s it lol especially with so many AI generators for people, scenery, etc requiring UE5. I use it for very small game dev, and the blueprint improvements, graphics capabilities, and AI functionality are the big applicable points. One thing that’s confusing, is they keep talking about “porting,” to UE5. That’s maybe a month of work, with the average being more along the lines of a week or two. They don’t have massive systems to keep in check, online marketplaces to factor in, it’s just a physics system and interactive objects. And UE5 has made language free coding (blueprints) even easier to work with which would then make porting easier too. No language changes. No switching from Unity or Godot to UE5. Just the UE4 to UE5 upgrade the rest of the industry have moved along with fine.
nacon killed this game, it was rushed out september 2022 and all people have been waiting for since then is physics and animation fixes and better character creation, yet creature have nothing but maps, which yeah we want as well, but they're supposed to drop with big updates, maps are all they've seemed to care about since launch though so I have to believe that's all that's coming now, except for unreal 5 apparently, but they haven't spoken a single word about that in months so who knows if it's even happening anymore, wouldn't be the first time they confirmed it then didn't do it. it's such a shame because they were truly on a roll till nacon came along, I can't believe out of everyone it's EA doing the best job handling a skating game right now.
Every update has come with hot fixes and there's a staff of like, less than ten people, I'd rather they take the time to do it right than just go complete ghost like their biggest competitors did.
@@Frontside_Hurricane there's almost 20 people and every update since launch has been less impactful than the updates from early access (when they were actually less than 10), nothing that matters has been fixed or even spoken about, goofy animations don't exist, bounce glitch is still thriving, missions still barely work, not one single experimental feature has been touched, late tricks still don't work right, still can't push mongo, it's been 2 years and all there's been are minor tweaks and hotfixes which most people wouldn't even know unless they were told what changed.
@@_sam.__ stay mad I guess? I'm just glad they're still actively doing ANYTHING and they've got the whole UE5 update coming so I'm sure there will be some good updates w that.
@@Frontside_Hurricane I'm not mad, I'm just disappointed. I can't get hyped for a ue5 update that has zero information around it after months, and after they already announced it once and then said they couldn't do it last year. I want this game to succeed but they aren't talking and their updates have been severely underwhelming compared to what they used to deliver in early access.
one thing ive noticed with every unreal engine 5 game I've played is poor performance and having to use FSR or DLSS to get decent frames. it would be a shame if you are currently able to run the game on max settings at 120 fps even though you shouldn't, then the ue5 upgrade comes out and you can barley hit 60. but i think im in the boat of all i care about is animations and having grabs, better vert even though this game is more focused on street vert is a huge part of skating they just decided to leave out. animations in this game need alot of work and possibly make the overall game play feel smoother/more responsive would be great imo
Something I would like to see is a multiplayer option. Like set up some servers or something. That way I can skate online w/ frineds. cuz it kinda gets lonely skating all alone in a virtual world.
@@Occams_Greatsword Yes I saw online, that's where my comment came from, but I'm one of the idiots on console who doesn't have access to mods and maps so even if it's not as great as the capital city or even skate 3, anything would be better than a half ass clap or subtitles
Mod support on console, even if its limited like Skater Xl with verfied community maps, but actually regulary update it with new stuff, and the community would litterally do 99% of the work for them for free.
I'm still worried about when the upgrade to Unreal Engine 5 drops, and all of the previous mods stop working forever. The upgrade better be REALLY worth it, fixing everything in the game so far. We've been waiting a while now.
I had to reinstall the game a month or two ago cause I was having an issue, and I havent even bothered going back through it all because I know as soon as the upgrade happens theyre not gonna work. So heres to hoping the modders are willing to go to UE5.
My biggest problem is that the gameplay and animations have been the exact same since 1.0 dropped with ZERO improvements while they continue to pump out paid DLC. It's such a joke. Give nothing to the people who originally supported you in the beginning but keep pumping out that content that brings you in those sweet sweet dollar bills. The fact that the wheel bounce glitch is still a thing is actually laughable, no throwdown animations... no proper goofy stance. Creature has lost a lot of respect from me and this comes from someone who backed the Kickstarter at the highest tier from the minute it went live.
I can tell you what's happening before I even watch the video. They abandoned making improvements to the game since over a year ago and they will keep adding pricey DLC maps until everyone is fed up and stops buying that garbo. The UE5 stuff is just bs to keep your interest in it as long as possible.
@@iwams1 cmon man give them a break. You know they're small, and they hard posted about UE5 so it'll be here. They're not Easy Day haha have some faith in our guys!
@@mewxtwo The games been in development for over 5 years and doesn’t even have a throw down animation, there’s only so much benefit of the doubt people can give them
Alot of people are still on last gen with xbox ones and ps4, doing unreal 5 overhaul is gonna be unfair to anyone that has the game on older consoles. So yeah they're pushing on DLCs for any money they could get.
@@solidsession I mean to be fair, XL soars above Session in certain aspects. Clothes and tricks being 2. Y’all are putting too much hype on Session. It’s not even subpar.
All I'm really upset about is that they removed the Ninja Turtle content without any warning to prepare. I had everything on console already, i had lost my PC save prior to the update. I haven't been able to get a PC depot version at all to try and work around the problem. I just really liked that Sewer map, and the PC version just doesn't feel as important to me anymore. I'm looking forward to the Unreal Engine update, but it's weird that the console version is now more superior to me.
I had faith in Creature... HAD... Lazy Day/Skater XS is dead and buried years ago...but creature im bummed about. I think they are finished. Just BS and makes me lose faith in gaming almost an supporting these smaller teams. Just had it.
One thing for certain with the upgrade to UE5 is that physics for sure will be different. I'm not sure what exactly it means and how it'll change the gameplay but the physics engine in UE5 has been completely replaced. UE4 used physx and UE5 uses a new physics engine called chaos. They really haven't said anything since the announcement of upgrading to UE5 though. Not even responding to people in the Discord when people ask if it's still being upgraded or if everything is going good.
So : A 5 bucks clothing pack in this game would be a death sentence for Session. People are already fed up with the paid ‘DLC’s’ let alone asking people for another non-branded clothing pack. The switch onto UE5 is nothing but a move to try to stay relevant because with new skate games releasing under UE5 they will get super outdated really fast. For Session ue5 won’t bring anything too new or revolutionary to the table let me tell you that (other than lighting). Also another thing: you can master this game really fast in like a week or so and it gets stale way too fast. I can’t bring myself to play Session these days because it just feels so unsatisfying and anticlimactic. It’s a ‘hop on for 15-20 minutes to get one clip then maybe do it again next month’ kind of game currently (IMO of course)
So, you can still get the TMNT stuff, I think. It's a pain in the butt, and you have to get 3rd party software in order to downgrade your Session installation. Once you downgrade, yuou can unlock everything. Make sure it saves. Update the game and you should have everything...Unless they found a way to patch this out. I had everything except the Donnie and Leo and cpl of the TMNT boards. I did this, and bought everything and it 100% worked for me
People just want content and fixes more regularly. DLC clothing packs could just be a way to get more content to the players while supporting the devs, but it’s purely a hypothetical compromise that could benefit both parties!
the thing i want the most the the dev's of session and easy days is communications. We got promised a new skater xl update last year that never happened, and the session dev's have said about the unreal update but when will any of it actually happen? i feel like if we just got some damn communications we might still have some faith in the dev teams. I've lost all interest in these games purely because we just don't know what's going on and have to rely on mods to get new maps and improvements. And i feel like if they don't start communicating there intentions, there going to get forgotten when skate drops. No it wont be as "real" as session or xl but it will work, have nice animations and new content all the time from a team that will likely communication with its audience. I thought skate was going to feel too arcade in comparison but I've played the beta and its decent, you can do some pretty decent looking lines and Its still challenging. Plus the missive multiplayer aspect is really nice. Its feels like a real city full of skaters which is sick. Even JL nightmare has gone quite on what to expect from session. keep up the great content though dude. Your videos are the only way i still stay up with whats going on with the skate games that are out. I cant be assed to play most of them anymore but i do still watch your videos on them.
playing on manual catch makes continuous flipping redundant so sadly the double flipping is unavoidable unless you catch the board perfectly every single time!
I still have the map for the sewers, and I don't think I ever had to pay for it. I was bummed when my game updated I thought I had lost the turtles map and characters but it's still all on there 😅 so that is pretty cool
Things I'd like to see: proper transition skating, throw down animation, make manuals less janky, more console skater customizations (particularly hair). I'd prefer these changes before further dlc maps. That said, I do like these chill ramble videos
whats wrong with buying a game and thats the game. thats how its mostly been since games existed and im fine with it. also about the "fit" u literally just made a video about a game with no character and u seemed to like it
I’m a console player and got the game a couple months ago after waiting too long for skaterxl to be properly updated. I really hope they add more content to this game because after learning how to actually get better I think this game really needs more locations
If they just fix the physics and animations this game would easily better than Skater XL. I don't get how its so hard for developers to just fix such a easy problem.
I definitely agree with the gear and animations parts. Im hoping with the upgrade they can also do more with the clothes and make them work better. And I am hoping they they will work on the animations more once its ported. But for now some more stuff with customization would be great. Including things with the character themselves. Like more hair options. They are part of a bigger studio now, and could hopefully do more. There are now mods that let you do more than you could before, simply because the options were pretty basic. There are older games with more options. While part of me thinks its not that important because the skateboarding is the focus, everyone loves being able to make their character look how they want. With animations, Im not even as worried about the goofy animations being switch. Yes, I skate goofy, but theres just so much more they could be doing. Like add different landing animations so they look more realistic. The higher the drop, the more it affects them. Land at an angle and that affects it as well. They could add some animations for when balancing in a grind or manual. I think it would be sick to even add a slider for that. All the way down and theyre fairly still. All the way up and it looks like theyre struggling. That way we can kind of find our own little spot in there that we enjoy.
i think they’re reworking all the animations with the new guy they hired a while ago, and rewiring the game around it. it’s usually the process that takes the longest is this type of games, and they’re also a small team on top of that. I thought we were going to see something some time ago but i guess not
I created a goofy skater and I always thought that the animations looked switch. The physics of the game already suck as it is, but the goofy does look funny. That's the one thing Skater XL will always have over this game, STYLE!
Honestly dont remember the last time i opened session. Being on console is limiting and the only thing to do is skater xl so we can skate together. Its rough out here
