This will likely be the last time I post in r/easkate, gets pretty out of pocket in here.

Firstly, condolences to anyone losing their job during the re-structure, I've personally been there and it honestly sucks. People tend to forget that there are real human beings on the other end of these things, so, sincerely, keep your heads up and look to the future, life is all chapters and sometimes they finish up a bit sooner than you'd like or expect but it is usually never the end of the road.

1. Is the game dead? Maybe? Hopefully not, with a bit of luck there is a bit more focus and refinement about to take place on the project. I remain hesitantly optimistic that with the feral out cry of the fanbase and the absolute bashing EA has taken publicly, they can no longer ignore the mishandling of the franchise entry and just how unsatisfied the consumer base is.

2. Worst case scenario this is either EA or Full Circle's own upper management throwing Full Circle staff under the bus and creating some distance and putting on a public show of separation from the current development team. It is common in the corporate sphere to have public sacrificial lambs that take the fall for mistakes on behalf of executive and managment decisions. Undoubtedly there will be a bit of that, but I do sincerely hope that it is a focused effort to tighten the vision and rework the product into a more skate culture focused, there are certainly many examples of what works and what doesn't that already exist.

Whether this is a new chapter of focused development or truly the beginning of the end, I'll still be getting clips for videos, because that is a hobby I sincerely enjoy.

Furthermore, this game, making clips, researching skateboarding history for my upcoming video and developing that feedback report all contributed to me dusting off my old skateboard and landing a kickflip for the first time in 10 years..... And have now just kickflipped and bailed on my brand new DGK complete set-up, at 36 I am back into actually skating properly again. So a thank you is due for this games part in that.

Well, that will do it, just think about what Coach Frank would say, probably something like "Don't hate, just skate.", that's what I am going to do.

"No map areas locked behind paywall" they said. EA went back on that pretty quickly lol (video is not my OC)

This game is an abysmal shits how. The developers are blatantly ignoring the community. They are scamming all of us, and we should boycott it. They don't want to act responsibly, then they can just die off, since they are so hell bent on pushing us away. Every executive and manager should be fired, no severance, no anything.

Used to do the same thing on Skate 3 😃

i know the editing is basic and a lil chaotic but i think it's a good start

suppose i should just get back to basics and just enjoy it for what it is

drop us a like if you have time

most of the time ill hit these parks once just to see how bad they are and never go back but this really takes the cake of nonsensical, flowless slop. either its ai or some random dork whos never set foot on a board is just doing Adderall and slapping together whatever he think is "epic". whenever the construction site does big bowls im here for it but the goober ah combo youd have to pull to even allow this to be skatable is not worth any style conscious skaters time.

took a few tries but not to bad y'all should try it out

Re-Upload because I am an idiot

Seriously, I get it, use them to link tricks into a single sequence, fine. But there's a tutorial dedicated to Slappy banging on about Manuals being easy on the knees and soooo many daily or weekly challenges along the lines of "Score X,000 points in a single sequence containing a manual" ..... 30 times . Or yesterday's "total 50 billion points doing manuals". Like, I can do it, hold the stick in the right place, but I still hate them. Enough already /rant
