Its a modern EA game so nothing of value is lost by not playing garbage.
Reading these sentences is making my brain aneurysm WHY IS THERE A PERIOD IN THE NAME
Not only that but it also intentionally starts with a lower case s. It’s almost like it’s purposefully engineered to be as irritating a title as possible.
Not only that but it’s actually the fourth game in the series yet they didn’t call it skate.4.
What the fuck is skate.? And why should anyone care.?
The Skate franchise started on PS3 (don’t remember if it was on other platforms) and was basically a more “realistic” skateboard game where instead of just using button combos, you were able to do tricks with the analog controls of the DualShock3 controllers. People really enjoyed the first 3 games. This is a reboot, but with the severe downturn EA has taken over the last 10+ years, I wouldn’t really bother putting too much hope in it being good.
Thanks for the explaination. I always wish there was a skateboard controller for PS2, it’s even work great with VR
Oh nooo, not the crappy revival that desperately wants to be the next fortnite! I’ll surely miss not being able to play this.
Might still run fine, though
It’s a micro-transactions store with a game built around it. Knowing EA they’ll probably throw their rootkit anti-cheat in to assure investors that “hackers” won’t get anything for free.
I curious why it need anti cheat for single player game. This not single player?
Otherwise you could get the microtransactions for free!
I dunno if it has a single player mode but everything we’ve seen of the game so far shows it heavily multiplayer focused.
Also if the names the part confusing you. This isn’t a port of the original Skate game, it’s a reboot.
Thank you
Unfortunately, it’s a game from EA, so don’t get your hopes too high.
Apex ran fine too until they blocked it with the anticheat
If they don’t want it to, it won’t.

Yes, MMOs tend to require a persistent internet connection to work. I’ve never heard of one that didn’t.

Not like this game was worth a damn anyway. Better off emulating 2 or 3.
The first part looks like two separate sentences 😁
Yeah, at this point I assume they just want to choose awful names to garner attention, but damn, this just makes me think someone typoed.
I want to think that they were gonna name it something like “skate!”, but then it was really shitty or something, so someone sneakily renamed it “skate.” at the last second
No worries, they’ll eventually launch it and it’ll run at a piss-poor 1 decade per frame on even the highest end hardware for the gameplay, but the microtransaction storefront will run at 3000000000000000FPS with zero bugs whatsoever.
Remember all the trailers for Battlefield V, and that got support for I think 2 years. This has even less trailers, so my bets are less than 2 years of support.
That seems reasonable.
THPS works just great though.
Even the original Skate games can be played through RPCS3 if you got a beefy PC.
I played the original Skate via a 360 emulator on the steam deck and it ran perfectly fine so I don’t think you even really need a mad PC setup. It did push the deck to its Max though!
Dare I say play Session instead then?

Was it supposed to be? I just assume by default a lot of games don’t officially support Linux.
Linux? No. Proton, yes, unless they are using kernel-level anticheat like Apex
As underpowered as the Steam Deck is, it’s a miracle to me that it can even run modern AAA titles at all.
Wake me up when they release a 1440p OLED model that can handle Ray Tracing @ 60 FPS minimum.
You seem like the kinda guy who could see someone invent a machine that cures cancer, but you’d still complain because it can’t suck your dick
its worse than that: i once build just such a contraption, and you know what this gentleman said after being sufficiently cured and sucked off?
"not sloppy enough, 3/10“ and flossed away
Wait, you forgot to mention the price, because if they do it for $1399 you’ll complain about it
That is an incredibly fair price for what I want. I would absolutely love to give Valve $1400 if the performance justifies the price.
I feel like I am the opposite. The steam deck changed my entire opinion of what I need to enjoy a gaming session. Previously I bought high end hardware, and high refresh rate screens, but after playing through several games on my steam deck, I am realizing I spent way too much money on my gaming computers over the years.
Why would you even want ray tracing. Such a waste of power.
If we don’t trace the rays how will we know if they escape
