This is why Skate 2 has the better map

I feel like skate 3’s too park oriented skate 2 had more of a street element to me and that’s what I really gravitated towards

I hope skate 4 incorporates aspects from all the games. I’d love to see a longer campaign where you start as an amateur and have to film like in Skate. and get sponsored, then as you compete more and more you get to start your own brand with even more customization than skate 3. I think what every skate game was missing was a fun campaign rather than just challenges. I don’t care if the campaign would take like 6 months to finish, it’d be cool to have a real story. They also need the map to be massive, like really really big. I’ve played skate 3 for so many hours I haven’t found an obstacle I haven’t done a trick on in years.

Yeah I always loved the overall experience of skate 2 the most, however there’s one thing it’s missing. Coach Frank!! Thanks for the all the likes!!!

the only thing holding Skate 1 from being the best of the series was the ability to get off your board

I agree, skate 2's ditch is miles above 3's. The whole map flows together nicely while 3's maps felt like a bunch of locations haphazardly tied together.

I really liked how gritty the skate 2 map felt, on top of that it just genuinely felt like a bigger map and more spaced out, plus there were spots that had layered areas that just made it really dope.

Love Skate 2 due to realism.
Love Skate 3 due to freedom.

skate 3 is a terrific game but skate 2 was always superior imo - it just feels way more authentic and immersive

[Rachel-]

The city felt not only more real, but also more lively as you could traverse the whole map without fast travel ❤

Skate 2 ; gorgeous marble, wood and concrete textures
Skate 3 : placeholder textures from 1980’s CD-ROM

I love how powerful the board sounds in Skate 2

Skate 2 is the goat of all skateboarding games.

The map was perfect, the diversity on it was awesome, the colors and the vibes of it were awesome too. The city felt alive with always something going on. You just roam around and you would find new spots every single time. Something amazing about the map is how everything felt for the lack of a better word connected. So many landmarks that you could easy remember and also everything got the feeling of always flowing like you would never stop. You just do something, do a trick on a spot and yo just kept going forever to another spot without really stopping and without noticing it. Felt like a never ending skateboarding video

This game was just perfect.

Skate 4 needs a nutty map like 2 but all the vibes of skate 1 like I can’t believe p.rod was only in the first one the first skate is just full of love

Him almost getting taken out by that tree on the 35 second mark gave me hella anxiety lol

[majiidsalim]

My dream has always been skate 3 controls, and the skate 2 map. That would be beautiful

Skate 1: Best Pros, Best Career Mode
Skate 2: Best Map, Best Soundtrack
Skate 3: Best Gameplay, Best Online Play

sound effects of a clean ditch run is like when the scissors slide through the wrapping paper

[KingTChalla]

Skate 1 is the best to me. I still remember playing the demo for hours!! It had a 30 min time limit so you had to keep restarting the game haha.

[ekeclout]

Skate 2 was definitely the best, it made huge improvements over Skate and didn't fizzle out like Skate 3.

[johnnybullseye]

I liked the way Skate 1's grabbed rotations felt and could spend hours in the bowl of that first park, Skating street difficult but immensely rewarding when you landed something. Skate 2 had the better maps and felt a little easier to land street tricks, but I missed the first games rotation feel. Skate 3 was generally ok all around but wasn't as replayable as the first 2. It wasn't as stand out, never hooked me like the first 2.
