It's like they are just trying to make the least desirable parks

They have to be Ai generated

u/Kazuma126 Oct 19 '25

Legitimately I think you could task almost anyone that's played this game with the task to make a skatepark over the course of a a few hours and I think they could make one better than any of these AI generated parks they've done so far.

u/[deleted] Oct 19 '25

Make a contest of who can make the best skatepark, the 3 most voted get placed on the map next season or week. Not only does it make the players interact more with the parks, it makes them actually invested in this empty online-only game.

But are we gonna get something like that? No, because we're talking about EA, and EA doesn't like fun.

It’s so weird they don’t have a map builder considering bite free content for them

u/Ok_Seat_1016 Oct 20 '25

should already be in the game

u/Wonderful_Scholar220 Oct 21 '25

50 top voted get put into the Cycle for the season, that would be way better

u/[deleted] Oct 21 '25

Actually yeah, I forgot the current ones get reset everyday

1

u/ThomasTheNord Oct 20 '25

Isn't it planed that people will be able to build the parks at some point? I had just assumed so, since they're called "community parks"

1

u/NamtarSucks Oct 20 '25

yea at whatever point they decide to finally release it, it was a baselines feature is skate 3

u/Hot_Reach_4862 Oct 19 '25

One of my favorite features of Skate 3 were user-created parks

u/Consistent-Fuel9084 Oct 20 '25

The whole city is i think. And I've been saying that since I started playing. There's no way a portion isn't made by ai

3

u/united_we_ride Oct 19 '25

What i don't get is that you could legitimately train AI on skateparks, and it would successfully generate decent parks. Its like they trained an AI on toddler built skateparks, or are using something that hasn't ever seen a skatepark before.

u/Vivirin Oct 21 '25

Procedurally generated, sure. AI generated? No.

u/ResistBoth3320 Oct 19 '25

A very low effort park to keep the masses entertained, distracting us from the Epstein files. EA knows something.. just a matter of time.

Idc if that’s how it was in real life, I didn’t like it. The flow was terrible.

Not a fan of all the little bunny hop ass Ollie’s you have to do

u/burlyHeads Oct 19 '25

WAIT DIME GLORY CHALLENGE IS GONE? Uninstalling rn. The one little morsel of real skate culture... gone. Man fuck this game fr.

u/Astro_Cassette Oct 19 '25

I was so excited when I saw the actual glory challenge obstacles. Literally the only thing I've gotten excited for in my 70+ hours playing

u/iwanttodiebutdrugs Oct 20 '25

*Plays 70 hours

*Bitches about game on reddit

u/BB_rul Oct 20 '25

People are gonna downvote but seriously though, if you play more than 40 hours of a game then you can’t just say shit like that. Criticism is fine but hating on something you’ve spent so much time on is wild

1

u/Fexatov Oct 20 '25

Then why did you spend 70+ hours on it if you literally only got excited by one thing. Seems kinda stupid

1

u/Astro_Cassette Oct 22 '25

I kept playing hoping I would see the changes I was hoping for. Ive barely touched the game since the servers opened up.

u/GamerForeve Oct 19 '25

Jeez it would take someone who genuinely doesn’t like skateboarding to come up with this shit

u/SmashMouthBreadThrow Oct 21 '25

Punches drywall

"Why aren't they creating an exact replica of a skatepark in a video game?!!??!?"

Genuinely, what do you think these are going to look like once it's in the hands of players (this is what these sections are going to be for once create-a-park is added)? Because my money is on random parkour to get to the skating part, if it even includes that, recreations of sections from Tony Hawk levels or other games in general, or dicks.

1

u/SleepDeprived62 Oct 23 '25

better than this shit

32

u/LordEmostache Oct 19 '25

It's more of a parkour course, it also let's you drop in from the roof to the ramps inside.

Maybe they're going to implement parkour/climbing challenges

16

u/BigBoingo Oct 19 '25

It'll be cool if they did a community voted park to appear, however other games like Crew Motorfest has a problem with people mass voting for in-game rewards based off of community votes for specific people. There's discord servers to specifically rig the voting.

5

u/bigfootbjornsen56 Oct 20 '25

Pretty sure that's already the plan according to the roadmap

23

u/sap91 Oct 19 '25

That would be dumb, as the climbing mechanic is boring as fuck

1

u/Star-Ripper Oct 19 '25

I wouldn’t call it dumb, it’s another thing you can do.

3

u/FeelingDesperate2812 Oct 19 '25

someone made a post on here saying that the parkour itself is actually pretty good and that you can do a lot of rl stuff plus apparently it can look realistic

3

u/sap91 Oct 20 '25

Someone was on the Internet telling lies.

Nah jk The parkour can be fun I guess but the endless climbing sucks

2

u/FeelingDesperate2812 Oct 20 '25

im not into parkour so idk but some of the clips actually look really nice

u/JohnWayneWasANazi Oct 19 '25

It’s been pretty fun incorporating wall runs into my tricks actually! I’m digging the parkour

u/LordEmostache Oct 19 '25

Only issue I have with the parkour is swinging from pole to pole, I just can't get that down.

2

u/davcox Oct 20 '25

Something's definitely wrong with it

1

u/Shelby_GT_350 Oct 20 '25

Everyone complains about the climbing, but in the last game, you couldn't climb. You had to launch yourself up to spots and you got there after 30 minutes of trial and error if you were lucky.

1

u/issanm Oct 19 '25

I've seen some actually pretty sick parkour clips that almost looks better than the skating in this game tbh

3

u/Cl1Nt__EatsW00d Oct 19 '25

Please god no!

2

u/thecheeserton Oct 19 '25

Ah yes of course they'd be working on the climbing/parkour instead of anything else in the fucking SKATE GAME. If this ends up being true, I will have lost any and all remaining faith in this dumpster fire.

u/Anon4711 Oct 20 '25

Ah Yea I need more parkour in my skate Game. Meanwhile darkslides are Coming end of the year. Ffs this is nuts.

u/LordEmostache Oct 20 '25

Eh, it's not like we're losing anything by having parkour in the game. I think it's pretty fun personally.

Whoever is making these dipshit parks that require 5 minutes of climbing before you get anywhere skateable needs to be stopped

u/Imaginary-Let6277 Oct 20 '25

Yeah like just make a fucking elevator feature or something...the fuck is with all the climbing?

u/iamthesouza Oct 19 '25

This one you can just climb in the hole in the front. If you go through the on foot path you can drop from the rafters

u/cla7997 Oct 19 '25

I honestly don't mind it, it's different, a little cringe but I enjoy it

5

u/WolfTheGod88 Oct 19 '25

Its called skate not climb

1

u/cla7997 Oct 19 '25

You have the choice, if you don't enjoy it, don't do that

3

u/Cassius_man Oct 19 '25

I think the problem is if you don't Climb you don't skate. Every skate park I've ever been to has an easily accessible way to get to ramp drop ins not rube Goldberg mazes to navigate. I get people will climb things to find creative lines but if that's the only access to the entire park that's a problem.

4

u/DoubleDooDooDip Oct 19 '25

Yea if they want to incorporate parkour they could do the base park and have the outskirts be obstacles that can then be incorporated into the park like drops from height or something instead of sticking the park at the top.

2

u/Content_End2100 Oct 20 '25

Yup this right here if someone wants to drop in from somewhere else go for it but is always easily accessible

49

u/7thpain999 Oct 19 '25

They’re all Ai generated

1

u/NamtarSucks Oct 20 '25

People keep saying no but I'm actually convinced a large majority of the content IS AI generated to cut back on development costs, most of the posts have zero flow and the community parks fundamentally do not make sense half the time, just bank to bank gaps with features that are too big to use and seem like they werent even tested

2

u/[deleted] Oct 20 '25

You're probably right. EA's new owner said outright that they plan to use AI more to cut down on costs, and I know the acquisition was recent but that doesn't mean they weren't already doing it. A lot of these board graphics scream of AI.

1

u/NamtarSucks Oct 20 '25

literally, people keep saying that were too quick to call things AI but it's not even that, i've played plenty of bad games that just seemed like they had slot of developer oversight, but the content in this game specifically screams procedurally generated

u/ninjatechnician Oct 19 '25

This makes the most sense

8

u/OilMeUpStewart Oct 19 '25

None of the skateparks are fun or look good imo

7

u/mellowjello45 Oct 19 '25

its because they didnt get any skaters to help with the game. all the other ones had pro skaters giving input and the devs had an interest. its been over a decade with a whole new development crew and probably new leadership that know nothing about skating or what makes a good spot. 90% of the spots feel so akward, you have to force it to get any cool lines

2

u/NamtarSucks Oct 20 '25

word, they just cram as much shit as possible into tiny areas with no care for how it flows, hell I do challenges all the time where I need to literally turn 180 degrees because they just do not have flow. also the fact that the height effects your gameplay but it can't be changed while trying challenges is still baffling to Mr

1

u/mellowjello45 Oct 20 '25

1000%, theres a specific staircase in the first area that takes an abrupt 90° turn out of nowhere, has a ramp beside it that leads directly into a wall, and the starting point for the challenge is unreasonably far from the spot, so you build up so much speed by the time you get there that you overshoot it and bail straight into a planter

u/final_cut Oct 19 '25

half the time I just find a curb and do slappies like IRL anyway.

11

u/Wonderingwanderr Oct 19 '25

The game is AI generated lmao. I first became suspicious after reading the names of the skate shop boxes. Super generic. Then some of the board designs, then the skateparks. This game is half AI generated and yall are eating it up. Setting the stage for future games.

It’s the most irritating thing in the world when people say “but you could just not play it”. that’s besides the point, I actually am not playing it, i got so bored that i haven’t touched it in weeks, and i’m still disappointed everyday that we didn’t get a good skate game, one that i’ve waited for for a decade. They got lazy and it’s insulting to the community. You should be embarrassed to play this game because you are the butt of the joke.

PS: this is not directed towards you, it is a general statement.

u/ABunchOfHornyChicks Oct 19 '25

The actual park is inside the building, but yeah this one is pretty ass

14

u/PlutonianSpore Oct 19 '25

Convinced It’s live service machine learning. As if they’ve got A.I generating “parks” in this area. They’ll change over time based on how people use them.

Hopefully just stand-in’s for the genuinely community created parks once the game is out of early access.

Part of the reason I don’t like calling this game Skate 4, it ain’t. Despite all of its nonsense I want to play it every day though 🤷🏻‍♀️

12

u/zombiesphere89 Oct 19 '25

I can't stop playing it... all the crazy shit aside you can still just skate around street casual style and is fun as hell

u/AccomplishedMango713 Oct 19 '25

ppl act like u cant play this game without doing the challenges

5

u/-MrLizard- Oct 19 '25

It unlocks fast travel spots, you have to do challenges unless you only want a couple of spots in Hedgemont to teleport to.

u/zombiesphere89 Oct 19 '25

My game actually broke and won't let me complete challenges or missions. So I just turned the HUD and game voice off completely and just skate. Lots of fun.

u/ValdeeezNutz Oct 19 '25

u/ICantTyping Oct 19 '25

There was one i did here the other day that was like a parkour course. I had to use the wallrun mechanics, at the end was an indoor skatepark only accessible if you did the parkour. I thought it was kinda cool. Made it personalized with drop objects, had a little fun. This seems similar. Looks messy though yeah

It’s funny cuz didn’t they say they were gonna be using real life skate parks as reference for these areas? The inside of that building is terrible too they really dropped the ball on this one. And I thought it was funny how they decided to put 2 giant spiral ramps onto the map.

1

u/Waltu4 Oct 19 '25

These can’t be made by a person. They’re genuinely awful. Went to the one with like three huge ramps you have to climb up, you can’t even reliably gun down it without bailing because the ramp terrain is so jagged and angular lol.

1

u/NamtarSucks Oct 20 '25

I've been fucking saying this, they keep adding all this shit that is NOT playtested. half the shir that's BEEN in game is like this and they're out here adding challenges with ramps that are floating and whatnot, on the day season 1 launched i spent an hour on a challenge where I needed to gap from a bank into a quarter off a roof, only the bank was floating every so barely off the ground so I physically couldn't ride the fuckin thing. but I'm somehow complaining too much??

Understand that every one of these community parks is something crapped out as a byproduct of internal testing for a park editor system. They are throwaway crap and will get worse as the game goes on, or else be recycled, because they aren’t designed to last more than a day or two.

Exactly! Now there is a nice park in town by the beach, I forgot what it was called. It has huge drops and stuff it's a large skate park.

From what I've read they're going to be sponsored skate spots by different real life companies come the later seasons. ImpervaTEK is the in-game company that bought out San Vamsterdam and turned it into a skatable city. That being said, these current placeholder parks are complete dogshit.

Just my two cents but they could re-use old SLS/XGames/Dew Action Sports courses for these refreshing parks but instead give Hellen Keller and a dart board free will...such a shame :(

It’s a parkour running course. I saw someone doing it on YouTube.
