Session: The best skate game since Skate
8,133An analysis / review / meandering rant about Session: Skate Sim.
Session is the best modern skateboarding game, and the next big step in skateboarding game design. It's a freakin' massive innovation and triumph, and can stand proudly alongside its genre peers of Skate, Skater XL, and the Tony Hawk 1 + 2 Remasters.
9 god dang people made this god dang thing. How is that possible.
GO BUY SESSION NOW. DON'T WAIT FOR A SALE. Because Session f#*&ing shreds.

*EXTRA VIDEO NOTES:*
1.) I should've added an asterisk at 3:15 to credit Skater XL as well, for innovating on the "two sticks" idea. They beat Session to the punch by almost a year. I even had a mention of XL and what it did written into the script _right there_ initially, but I trimmed it because I wanted to keep the focus more squarely on Session for the first chunk of the vid. Bad call, didn’t mean to come across like I was either dumb or deliberately obfuscating the narrative or some shit.
2.) I called the first level of THUG Philly when it is in fact New Jersey. Derp.
3.) Thanks to everybody for bringing Thrasher: Skate And Destroy to my attention! I'd genuinely never heard of the game. Seems like it experimented with a pseudo-catch mechanic prior to Session. Same with OlliOlli.
4.) Forgot about OlliOlli World and Skate Bird when listing off recent skateboarding games in the intro! We're swimming in so many of these things that I actually forgot a couple. We can't forget Deadly Premonition 2, either. That's the ultimate skating game.
Many thanks to the Youtubers whose footage I utilized to put together this video alongside my own footage:
GREEN SCREEN, 45resolve, ipgames, Naetr, CCS, Ribs Man, RetroDetect, Jaasss, Swixtor, Experience Luxury Travel, wispp, Luis Mora, Benedict Gameplays, HelixSnake.
