Are the devs done with the game?

[Farsa]

Because it's still full of bugs and glitches and controls can still be more refined. It's not a bad game but is it gonna be another SXL?

[Klutch87]

Next update is tomorrow and free to everyone. They're giving us ninja turtles and a sewer map

They need Open Lobby Freeskate, it is well within their capabilities and no one has been able to give me evidence of the physics engine conflicting with that.

The physics thing is the dumbest excuse ever. The games made with unreal engine 4 so should be able to have multiplayer but the problem they don't wanna admit is that they simply just don't know how to do it.

I've been saying this but the community-hivemind always pushes back and calls me naive.

Yet, not one person has been able to give me valid evidence to suggest the physics engine conflicts with being able to implement Open Lobby Freeskate. If anything, I've read the opposite.
The original developers (before purchased by Nanco) made promises of adding Open Lobby Freeskate, they even SWITCHED ENGINES to move in the right direction for doing so.
And here we are, the new company falls back on the promises of the starter-company with lazy claims that they can't do it at all. We all know that isnt true, at least the halfway-smart ones of the community do.

Its frustrating to see people given up on this being added, and those who speak for themselves claiming that no one cares for it to be added. Nanco is losing money by not implementing OLF, they would have a SUBSTANTIAL amount of new players by adding it. I personally would be able to get 4 different people to purchase this game if they knew it had OLF, as thats the only reason they wouldn't purchase it in the first place.

Please get your ♥♥♥♥ together Nanco, its disappointing to see such a promising game filled with so much potential fall down the cash-grab route. No one wants Ninja Turtles.

Transition Skating and Open Lobby Freeskate should be top priorities.

Update just got rid of a few mission bugs, and fixed the flip mechanic. Sounds small, but it's a major fix for people that care about it.

New animator got hired on the dev team, so a few of those stiff trick animations will def get cleaned up

Come on man it's just a fun collab that happened only because one of the developers was friends with someone at Universal. Idk what's wrong with a free update adding a new sewer location and a bunch of characters, sounds like party pooping tbh. Licensed characters were goated in Skate 3 & THPS/THUG, idk if y'all forgot.

As for the game itself I don't really give a ♥♥♥♥ about online, I can play Skater XL or THUG Pro for that. It would be cool sure, but online isn't some necessity that EA or people think is required for every game.

You're speaking for yourself here man. Really

A lot of people want Open Lobby Freeskate. I personally would be able to get 4 people to purchase this game if not for the lack of Multiplayer. They wont buy it because they don't want to get bored skating alone, theres plenty of people out there who don't play video games by themselves, exclusively. I'd literally be one of them if it wasnt for this game only.

Beyond my personal experience I also see a lot of parallel feedback on Reddit, Youtube, Twitter, and the Steam Forums; the question of multiplayer has maintained relevance since the start of the game (2019) for a reason. Because people want it.
This game is stylish and provides many venues of personal expression, so theres no question as to why people want to be able to session with their friends in game. Showing off outfits, decks, tricks, lines, skate spots, etc. Not to mention all the ways to collaboratively skate or even competitively skate. Online Freeskate is an untapped gold mine.

if there was going to be an online i would like competitions of some kind, like games of skate in manual catch mode, i heard of people just screensharing there game to play games of skate, which is an idea but a dedicated game mode would be sick, or even better yet skate comps to compete with scoring like the mission they had in philly.

as for just freeskating i wouldnt really care, doesnt make much difference to me but not knocking it for people who want it, i would prefer they would work on vert/grabs tricks instead.

I can confirm that it not having multiplayer is a deal-breaker for me. I was considering buying it until I saw it didn't have online play.

Have you considered the influx of new players as a result of implementing Multiplayer? This would likely indirectly improve the state of transition skating. Let me explain

Im not saying people dont want a transition-skating overhaul, but there probably isnt anyone holding out on BUYING this game for the lack thereof. That isnt the case for Open Lobby Freeskate. Lots of people are keeping a watchful eye for when they add it (Literally see the above comment).

New players = New Money.
More Money = More resources
More Resources = More attention on different issues; Such as transition.

When I propagate for Open Lobby Freeskate, I'm advocating for more than just being able to skate with my friends. I'm advocating for the overall success and longevity of the game.

"i would prefer they would work on vert/grabs tricks instead."

Damn, it's almost a year and not much really changed on upping the transition physics that were scrapped just before release, with the promise on delivering them later.

Multiplayer might bring in a lot of new players but that could also be just short lived if the multiplayer gameplay is meh.

No, this should remain afloat in the community's requests. They can do Multiplayer, they just don't want to invest the time/resources. If enough people remain advocating for it, we might be able to motivate the Devs over time.

It peeves me to see people tell others to give up hope when it comes to Open Lobby Freeskate, because it is NOT beyond their capabilities, and it makes people stop badgering the Devs for it. The badgering / "annoying" constant requests should keep going, the Devs can only ignore the elephant in the room for so long. Before the game was purchased by Nanco, they switched physics engines to move in the direction of Multiplayer, but Nanco are the ones who started to shut the door on it. Do not let them believe the community can do without Multiplayer. The people who tell others to give up on it LOVE to speak for themselves and tell others to go buy SkaterXL if they want Multiplayer. A good, well-rounded skating game SHOULD have Open Lobby Freeskate, and its as simple as that.

you are more likely to sell bongwater to turtles as champagne...
which indeed is very fine irony, as those devs once more have shown, subliminally I guess, where this game is headed to...down the drain and into the sewers

´nuff said...

also, the company is called NACON

an online mode wouldnt hold people for that long tho, skater xl had a boom when the multiplayer update came out then it died, the same thing would happen here, so if they want to keep player retention they would have to improve core gameplay/mechanics such as vert/grabs which is a major part of skating. it would be even better if they could do it all tho.

[Tom Hardly]

i dont quite understand the company hiring so many animators if coding is apparently main issue,i love this game so much,but its so sad to see that i am playing it for so long and cant even enjoy the missions because half of them arent registering any tricks,smooth gaming should be their main concerns not inputing new characters,like bro i cant even finish the game cause half of the missions are glitched,so fix that first,then think about your new animators and designers

[beatles42o]

so, have modders made an open lobby free skate mod yet?

if not, its likely to assume the devs cant either....keep in mind, modders got sxl online before the devs did.
