I follow the rule of waiting to post permanently free games on Friday, and I always miss it -- likely partially due to Fridays being busy.

I was looking for a good skate game and I thought this might be a good.

....then I read the reviews. There seems to be some real mixed reviews of this game.

The reason I didn't download was because it's choc full of Microtransactions.

    ReSkate takes out the mtx afaik. And makes it work in Linux.

    As for the gameplay, it's slightly too arcade-y for my tastes.

    In reskate you can tweak a lot of settings that you can't in the base game. Things like gravity and what not. I haven't tried it myself yet, but pretty sure you can make it more realistic that way. If not, someone will make a mod for it, if there isn't already. I didn't hate the gameplay, but by god i wished it was more "realistic", that's the thing i liked about the series. In THPS, you had to pull a 5million shitass combo to get the same dopamine that a clead treflip boardslide gave you in skate.

    Thanks for all the info.

    Maybe I'm wrong but isn't this game free2play?

    The point of [Forever-Free Friday] is to highlight a free game that's worth talking about a little, if you don't have anything to say about the game then what's the point? Also you need to give it the tag (and remember to post it on Friday!) so that people know it's not just a normal time-limited giveaway.

    Also microtransactions in an early-access game? Eew.

    Controller required

    This game does not include support for mouse and keyboard controls. A controller is required.

    As long as it has AFI the boy who destroyed the world and Adolescents Amoeba on the soundtrack, I’m in. Also feel free to have any other awesome thps3 songs. Best pump you up skating beats ever.

    I think Amoeba was on Skate 2 or 3, I'm not sure which. But also the Skate 2 and 3 soundtracks are pretty freaking awesome too.

    You've got Neil Diamond - Cracklin' Rosie, 3 Inches of Blood - Battles and Brotherhood, Agent Orange - Bloodstains, Canned Heat - Going Up The Country, ODB - Shimmy Shimmy Ya, and The Misfits - London Dungeon
