After brain storming i decided come with quite possibly one of the biggest lists of suggestions and ideas, something to even rival Clay's original thread.

Polejams

We really need some working pole jams devs. The ones we have now are just not working. Working with the whole, right analog stick can move you up or down, it should be easy to incorporate them into the game. Just get the correct amount of speed, lean back the right amount on the pole jam and hit it. Even maybe holding in x and y or someother combination can let you no-comply pole jam. There needs to be some more variations in these. You should be able to place some in an editor type mode down a bank, so we can throw some style into our lines. You have no idea how many times i've done a sick line and rode up to these so-called pole-jams in skate. only to realize, "Oh wait, these things suck." These really need some attention

Online
1. Freeskate

We need to be able to freeskate the entire city. Nothing else too it, there are so many spots to session that we cannot hit because of the crappy online system. There should be no single spot in the game that is unaccesible in freeskate online. Also please keep the lag like is it now, it opened up the world of filming for us, which i will talk about later in this huge list of manliness :p Also, please get some decent servers for this game! It seems like every game EA puts out, has crappy servers that make a very good online game complete crap. Examples of this are certain Battlefield Games and Crysis

2. Modes
A. Editor Mode

I was brainstorming the idea with blackhawk and Clayfighter from hoodlum tonight about an editor type mode. Imagine as something like forge for skate. We could take out benchs, move benchs, move poles, add obstacles, add polejams, add ledges, The possibilities are really endless if this is pulled off right. Some examples of this are how on some gaps, where you land flat to flat, you could add a ledge on one side, or take away a ledge on some gaps. You could extend a fence higher, lower a fence to make a gap. Add some plywood pieces to grass, which open so many gaps i don't even feel like going into detail.

This is not even close to being done, i will edit soon, i just don't have time to finish, and i have no way to save it.

Please, try to keep arguements to a minimum. And i won't argue with in n out at all in this thread. Feel free to post suggestions, comments, and and other ideas.

thanks

I thought we could edit our posts long after they were posted? I guess i was dreaming haha, but i'll continue with posts i guess.

(Continuing on at Online Modes)
B. Filming Mode
As most almost everyone is aware, BKS or CST among other teams including us (BST) have been filming in coffin mode. It is alot better then it was before with the new patch fixing the lag, but if a filming option added in online freeskate that you could toggle between with skating easily it would open up almost an entire other game. We could add placable cameras, picture cameras, a free roam type of camera almost like forge, which allows to get really any angle we want. I'm still thinking on a way to get a releastic looking and working way to follow someone filming with a fisheye like in real life, but hopefully i, or someone else has some ideas on how to get this to work, because it would be amazing if done right. Along with the filming mode you need to revamp the editor mode, like 2 placable cameras, so you get them in a follow angle with the fish eye in a line, and then when they are coming up to el-toro or wallenburg you can get another angle of them, including the follow angle with the fisheye. It could really open up a brand new game inside of skate. I know that if there was a good filming mode i would be filming alot more skating because i just love that aspect.

Note: The Editor Mode and Filming Mode should be toggled through easily without loading screens. Editor mode should also be in the single player and same with filming mode for upload or maybe even for "missions" or to get sponsored or to film or videos


Once again, i'm posting it incomplete because i have to go school -_-

Expect it fully done by tonight!

idk about editing the city, like raising the height of fences and stuff, but i'd like to see everything else you said in the game

one thing i really wanna see though is no complys and bonelesses, and my idea for doing them is to push in the flick-it stick, do a kickflip or ollie motion, grab the board, then release it to land

if you think about it, it kinda resembles how you do them in real life

just an idea i came up with, idk if itd really work lol

I want to be able to Hoho and walk around on my hands! Even walk up/down stairs on my hands.

I love you, Walrus.AHAHAHAHAHAHAH, Your the first person that suggested Hoho's.


Nah, But I'd like to see the same stuff Switch said, Plus some baggier clothes.Maybe for filming be able to use different lenses?It would really add to the filming aspect of the game.Some people might not want to skate and instead want to film for awhile, Which is why you give them different choices of filming with lenses and different cameras so that they stay wanting to film and not get bored with it.

Also add Ramped Slow Motion in the game editor.

well if not skating the whole city on freeskate-online, at least have it where you can have a coustomizable map of how much u want to skate.Or if not, the whole map would be nice too.

I think most important. Ranked points should be based on a plus/minus system depending on who you beat, or who beats you. ex: the higher the rank you are beating a lower rank the lower the point value for the win. Or the lower the rank you are beating a higher rank player the more points you gain, and of course the more points your opponant loses.

This system works great for fighting games and should work just as good for Skate. It rewards the better player not the player with more time on there hands.

I lost all of my rank by the kids that played 8 hours every day when I could only get a couple if I were lucky. But when we went head to head I would embarras them. Like TI12 for instance. He was ranked #1 for a long time. Yet I played him about 20 games in a row and Beast him everytime. To this day he hasn't beat me once.

Sorry if I sound bitter but I went from Ranked #7 to #35 just because kids played it more.

So Please EA, Reward the better players not the ones that play it the most.

-Secret

theres rankings in skate?

Ok i'm back once again to probably not finish the thread haha.

Filming Mode
As ghost started talking about different lenses i realized it should be added too

Replay Editor
With the filming mode, we should also revamp the editor mode. We should add some Ramped Slow Mo in the editor. Also, we need to be able to upload 5 clips. Along with this comes the saving replay idea, we should be able to save around 20, and upload in online. It may add some lag right when they do it, but it is a real hassle to have to hop back and forth to save replays and then upload them.

Add ons to single player (Some may apply to online)
More Tricks! No-Comply variations, 360 flip double flips, etc etc.

Reverts! We need to be able to revert better, like landing a fs flip at a 90 degree angle on a smooth marble ledge and just slide into a steezy ass manual. It NEEDS to be added, it will really let us realistic skaters add some style and steez into our lines and tricks

Night skating! This could add so much to the game. But, i think you need to have generators and lights set up for some of the spots with no lighting. Let's say that i find a nice gap inside a dark alley, i just pop on the generator and set up the lights. The placing of the lighting will affect how well it will look on camera. It could also add so much to the editing and filming aspect of the game. Someone could do a front crook 180 out with steez, roll away into darkness, and then they come back into the light and hit a nollie heel down a gap or stair set. I also jizz'd everywhere when i started to think about some of the things that could be done with a nice filming mode and night skating

More Clothes! As ghost said once again, we need more baggy clothes. We need hats, belts, shoelace belts, different shoes, more tee shirts, shants, tight pants, slim fit pants, hats at any angle you want, beanies. Really, i want to almost replicate anyway i feel like looking that day in skate.


ok, well i think i covered everything i want. I could have gone into so much detail but i don't need to bore you that much right? I'm sure there is things im missing, but oh well i get lazy


P.s. Add walking so we can get to better spots and gaps. Maybe let us hop fences or find crazy ways onto rooftops and other things. Let us explore and be creative EA


Thanks,

switchFooTx

yo switch post a link to this thread in the skate 2 master list

i like most of everything in this thread. But remember what i said about the light and generators idea: i like these ideas only if they give you an auto and/or manual setup function. for example, waxing a ledge. i know many people want this in the game. personally i dont. if it was in the game i would like an auto feature when i could just hit a button and maybe a quick animation to show im waxing a ledge and its done. Same with setting up lights and generators. it would be fun every now and again for hardcore "realist" of the game. But i am lazy.

And for the baggy clothes thing... I think they should put a slider in the game where you pick a pair of shorts, shirts, pants or hats and after you pick u get a list of options. For example.

Hat Type= DC fitted
Angle= use the RS to change position of hat like front back side up or down over the eyes or at a steep angle.

Color ect.

Yeah, I see what you mean Czar.The whole slider thing, The only reason I wanted baggier clothes is because I wear extremely baggy clothes in real life.I never really noticed it, But people tell me that I do.


And the waxing thing would get annoying, I dont want to have to wax a ledge to make it slide smoother, Maybe do the slider thing again if you only need a little wax or alot of wax, Or just say that the ledge is waxed and it slides smoother.


Also, On Nose and Tail slides I'd like to hear your wheels flatspotting if its rubbing up against a really nice smooth surface.

bizzump now that skate 2 has finally been officially announced
