Is this better (as much fun as) than Skate 3? (Solved)

[clay gamer]

I am not looking for a hyper-realistic skating game, is this a good fit? I really loved the goofiness of skate 3, the insane speeds you could achieve and stuff like the parks that were beautifully designed. I didn't really have time to look at gameplay trailers or whatever's currently out, but is it just a boring, linear city you can skate through? Can someone who has looked at gameplay maybe send a video timestamp of a cool spot? I am considering buying this but I don't really feel like getting it if it's too "serious" and you need to input 20 controls just to skate forward

A lot more of a simulation than Skate 3. Honestly what you are saying makes me think that this game isn't for you.

At the moment it's just skating around the city. I like the map though!

Yeah, I was thinking that could be the case.

Thanks.

You can overcome the control scheme. I had some trouble with it because I am so used to the SKATE controls. But its really just trying and sticking with it. which I like.

short answer is no.
it prides itself on realism, and is far less forgiving than skate 3 ever was. you don't need to input 20 controls to push or anything, but i feel like you'd consider it too "serious". it's less about getting about crazy speeds and scores and more on the more gritty aspects of skating. even the controls are more complicated - each joystick controls a foot, so just a kickflip in session requires more thought than a 360 hardflip does in skate 3. by no means is the city boring; there are plenty of cool spots, and an object dropper as well. but there aren't any npcs, there are no contests, grabs aren't fleshed out, and the replay editor is more limited compared to skate 3. those final things i mentioned are supposed to be expanded on, but the controls will remain the same.

i dont think this game is for you. Its more challenging and more realistic.
You should try skater XL. It has a really good mod community also

I went through some of the more recent reviews and it seems the devs dont really care about it anymore since it seems there were issues with the game and instead of fixing them they tried to port it to console over a long timespan.

This isn't skate 3 dude this is a skate simulator if you're not a whiner and can slam 50x before mailing a trick or line as well as learn a new more realistic control scheme then you'll love it

If you're a whiner and are just going to say it's not skate 3 whilst crying don't bother

Yikes, "subtle" elitism.
