From the people who brought you Skater, which reached #1 sports game world-wide for mobile, Skater XL is an evolution in skateboarding games.
Experience unparalleled board control and responsiveness while you skate legendary real-world skate spots. Style your tricks the way you want, from the way you flip the board to the way you move your feet. Feel connected to your board like never before.
Style and Control: With new ground breaking and intuitive controls, skateboarding in a video game has never felt more authentic, fluid, and responsive. Style tricks any way you want and make every trick and line your own.
Legendary Spots: Shred real world legendary skate spots, like the LA Courthouse which is featured in early access.
IMPORTANT: This game REQUIRES an Xbox 360, One, PS3 or PS4 compatible controller to play. There are NO keyboard controls available.
Update Notes:
Transition grinds (roll-in / roll-out)
We want Skater XL to give people access to every style of skateboarding including transition and ramp skating. This update includes the ability to roll in and out of grinds on transitions and ramp coping using similar controls to grinds/slides on other objects.
Moving either or both thumbstick in any direction directly prior to hitting coping will initiate a roll-in coping grind.
Position your board as you get on coping by using the sticks to tweak and angle your board similar to other states (when in air, when grinding etc).
To exit the grind/slide click the thumbstick on the side you want to pop out/roll in on. If you wish to roll out the opposite side, click the thumbstick on that side to roll out.
In order to properly give you the ability to test the new transition features, we have built a special warehouse test environment that houses a new mini ramp for you to shred. While not a fully fleshed out map, it is super fun and will give you the chance to hone your ramp skills in preparation for the 1.0 update. You can access the map from the ‘Maps’ section in the main menu.
Transition Grinds in Mod Levels
We’ve added automatic detection for any grind objects that have shapes that look like they should have roll-in grind ability. Old mod levels with ramps and quarter pipes that have grind edges on the coping should work with the new transition grind mechanic without any changes, but we’ve also given level creators the ability to update their levels with tags to override our automated system if they wish.
Board Customization
We know that one of the best things about skateboarding is customizing your setup and picking each component. To that point, we have added the ability to customize your deck, trucks, wheels, and griptape with a few options for each to start with. We have a ton more (see Brands/Customization trailer) coming down the pipe, but this is just a starting point to test and get you familiar with the mechanism.
Access this feature in the main menu and select ‘Gear’.
Press A/X to make your gear selection in each category
The RB/LB buttons can be used to advance to the next component category in the menu
