After being a bit underwhelmed with Session's early access, I'm hoping this will play better. Seems like it based on what I've seen. Couldn't care less for the absurdity of tony hawk games anymore so this one is my only hope until that new skate finally comes out.

Skater XL plays MUCH better than Session responsiveness wise. I tried the session preview on xbox one and was amazed how little control I had. Felt so stiff, bought Skater XL the next day and was busting out nice tricks within minutes. Skater XL is definitely worth the price. And it's cheaper now in Early Access, once the game gets released the price will go up, so now's the time to buy.
Dave Mirra is dead.It is disappointing to hear Session is underwhelming too. I’ve watched several impression videos of Session and Skater XL and I was worried as both look like stiff and just not that fun to play.
Why didn’t these two devs just team up and make an amazing game?
Now I have to get my fix from Tony Hawk and I was never really into those games.
My wet dream would be a Dave Mirra Freestyle BMX remake. Shit, Dave might be dead for all I know and is now basically irreverent, but that game had great trick variety and open world design. Games should be fun and realistic and Skate is unmatched with this balance.
Dave Mirra is dead.
Really fucking sad how he went out. CTE is a motherfucker.Yikes that’s sad and my bad! Dude was a beast and that game was great too
Definitely picking this up tonight! $40 seems fair and I’m going in with low expectations.
No reviews yet, game journalists hate sports games so no surprise. Going in blind is okay by me!
As someone who has played countless hours of this game, a $40 dollar asking price is fucking insane. It has some of the most fun skate mechanics of any game but there's blatantly unfinished aspects to the game. The vert skating is just barely functional and the content on offer is super bare bones for a 1.0 release. On PC the mod scene can pick up some of the slack but I couldn't imagine playing this game on console.
Same exact sentiment here. There’s loads of mods already for the game that fill out the content gap but if you buy this on console, you’re in for a real bad time.As someone who has played countless hours of this game, a $40 dollar asking price is fucking insane.

I don't know why Tony Hawk can't get their act together like Skate.
Same. Good foundation but still needs time in the oven.
How do you feel about session? I have both but haven't played either in quite a while.
Apples to oranges. It's like, do you want Need for Speed or Gran Turismo? They both scratch a different itch.I don't know why Tony Hawk can't get their act together like Skate.
I got it on PC and it's almost as hard as real skateboarding LOLI’m on console only and really want to buy Skater XL but just can’t bring myself to pull the trigger as I know I’ll be disappointed. I love skating half pipes and it looks like it just doesn’t work in this game.
THPS doesn’t do much for me as I’m a HUGE skate fan. Hopefully the devs keep supporting Skater XL and in a year it’s a great game. I just can’t support this game in its 1.0 state, it still looks early access with no plants, body flips, or real bowl/half pipe skating being broken. Heartbreaking for this skater fan, $40 seems like gouging and while I’m sure they will continue to add maps and features I’ll wait to see it first.

If you're on Xbone, check out Session.
