Two unfinished games – Skater XL (basically a mod platform with no real career) – Session (solid mechanics but still janky and underbaked after years in Early Access)
Two emulated games – Skate 2 – Skate 3
…and that’s it. EA had a 15-year window to deliver a polished Skate 4 and instead launched a live-service experiment. Now the only way to get a complete, authentic skateboarding experience is to emulate decade-old titles or play unfinished indie sims.
I’m an outsider to the skate culture but like what more than THPS and Skate 1 - 3 do you need. This feels kind of like a solved problem
