Skate has been de-live serviced by ReSkate, a modding platform downloaded 350,000 times—devs say they will comply if EA's lawyers come knocking

  Why don’t more devs just stay anonymous and send fuck yous to lawfirms

    How are they going to distribute something while being anonymous?

      Without even thinking: open source public code repository, p2p networks like torrents.

    if the law firm found them, they’re not anonymous anymore.

      That just means they weren’t anonymous enough.

  I’ve been waiting for 15 years to pay full price for Skate 4. They never gave it to us.

  Not sure what it was about the new game that just didn’t pull me in.

  Biggest boon here is it seems to work on Linux with this mod. I can finally play it!

    Damn humans didn’t do all this tedious work for free

    I assume this uses the newest models to decompile the game so that they get the source code. Like it or not, but if that’s the case this couldn’t have been made without AI.

  Honestly, this is tempting me to buy Skate.

  Is anyone here actually playing the mod?

  • DillDough@lemmy.zip ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    It’s f2p, nothing but lame ass skins to buy. I have not played the mod yet but plan on doing so after I get bored of the new Star Wars racer.

    The core of the game is actually good, there is a lot of fun to be had if you like skating but holy shit playing the live game is painful and this seems to fix most of that.

    If Tony Hawk is your only skating game experience, you’re going to be disappointed. The controls are completely different; instead of hitting buttons to do tricks, you move the right joystick. It’s intended to simulate real life skating. You’re not going to pull off a Triple Impossible in this game.

    Also, unless you mean microtransactions, there’s nothing to buy. The game is F2P so go ahead and grab it from Steam and then see for yourself if you like it or not.

    I just downloaded and installed it on my steam deck easily and it plays fine. Also like someone else mentioned it is free. I didn’t see a tutorial or anything so I’m watching videos of how to play now.

  Might want to back it up if this is something that interests you. Never know when it’ll be shut down.

  How is that supposed to work, when the entire premise of the game is to skate with others? You’re just going to be alone in that giant city? Sounds boring.

    I think the mod has been downloaded 350k times because they asked for Skate 4 and this is what they got instead.

      $20 says most people will give it a week and then realize there’s no substance to this game and quit.
