Is this OliOli in 3d?

[d0x360]

It looks like it... Not a bad thing, I'm just curious.

[Pr0udCh0sen1]

it's 2.5d not 3d..

[it's a gabe]

From what I know about OlliOlli, those games a very over-the-top. Skate City is still an arcade game, but grounded in reality. The control scheme is reminiscent of Session and SXL, except extremely simplified.

If you don't mind using the refund window as a demo, you'll see everything the game has to offer right after the tutorial. It takes less than an hour to go over early challenges that bother to explain mechanics overlooked in the tutorial, such as manuals and spins.

btw, just in case you weren't aware, there is a new OlliOlli in the works and it's... 3D, kinda? 2.5D? Eh. It's not 2D, that's for sure.

I don't know why you would post links to other games on this games page. I mean, yeah it's another skateboarding game, but it's also highly disrespectful to the devs that worked on this game for you to post a direct link to another games page from a completely different developer... I just don't see why you would do that.

You're saying all that as if I said "don't buy this, it's trash, go buy this other game here," which is not at all the case. You're taking that shoutout far too deeply and personally when all I'm doing is calling OP's attention to a franchise they mentioned. If they want OlliOlli, I don't see why I'd pretend this new game doesn't exist and instead convince them to get Skate City when it might not be what they're looking for.

So because Olli Olli did it first and had a fanbase first on PC and console, all other 2d or 2.5d skateboarding games are copies? If so that's like saying every FPS is a Wolfenstein or Doom wannabe. Look the new Olli Olli game looks good, I'm not going to say it won't be, but there's a time and a place to discuss that. Did you ever look at forums for games like SkaterXL and Sessions, the two sides debate non-stop everyday about which game is better etc. I just don't think links should be put up for other games not related to this one from an entirely different studio on their forums, especially when their game just came to PC and they are trying to make ends meet.

Let's be real, do you really think the devs are going to appreciate links to other games not affiliated with their game on the forums? If you want to do it go ahead, nobody is stopping you, but it is a pretty low thing to do, that's all. They may not complain or do anything about it, but that doesn't mean they appreciate it or even like it.

I think it's okay to make comparisons in a friendly manner, but It's a bit too much when you post links to divert players to an entirely different game from a company that has nothing to do with the one that made this game...

Sigh.

First of all, I'm not the one asking if this is OlliOlli but 3D. If that's what OP's looking for, I don't understand why you have to make such a big deal that I directed them to what they're looking for.

Second of all, the "war" between Session and Skater XL is ridiculous, but it also doesn't reflect every single community where comparisons might exist. And as someone who owns both, you might understand that not everyone thinks one should succeed where the other fails. There's space for both, the same way there's space for Skate City and OlliOlli World. For all we know, the developers are big OlliOlli fans and are looking forward to OlliOlli World. Just because their game might be perceived by some as competition, it doesn't mean they don't want the other to succeed, or for people to enjoy whatever they find more appealing.

As a creative person, what I don't appreciate is this sort of divide where everyone has to be overly protective of what they make, thus not allowing free discussion of similar products because how dare anyone wants to enjoy anything that's not what I make.

Dude, you can think whatever you want of me linking the game that's exactly what OP's asking about. If you see a problem with me pointing them in the right direction, that's actually not *my* problem. You thinking I'm being rude won't change my stance that I'm being helpful. You can reply however many times you want saying how inappropriate you think I'm being, but you're not changing anything at all.

We're on Steam, for crying out loud. If you've never seen a single thread where people ask for games similar to the one being discussed, you need to expand your horizons. And I'm perfectly aware that OP isn't asking for games similar to Skate City, but given that they asked if this is 3D OlliOlli, it only makes sense to mention that there is a 2.5D OlliOlli in the works.

If you can't understand any of that, then we're pretty much done. We can disagree here, but going out of your way to call me out on being helpful and pointing OP to the game they might be looking for is utterly unnecessary and actually unhelpful.

Okay, if you think the devs of this game appreciate you linking to another game then we are done. Have a good one!

LOL That link really hurt you didn't it, kiddo?

OlliOlli World is pretty good 👍
