A skateboarding game needs to be as simple as, \u201cSee rail; do trick on rail.\u201d Boiling everything down to this essence, however, isn\u2019t as easy as it sounds. Controls, objectives, and the other structures we rely on as gamers can get in the way, even if they\u2019re necessary. Skater XL from Easy Day Studios is trying to bridge the gap, letting players pull off the tricks they dream up without being hampered by its own controls. We\u2019ve been watching the game\u2019s progress through development, and with its July release on the horizon and a recent\u00a0update to its public beta, it looks like its freeform philosophy is intact and guiding the game\u00a0well.<\/p>\n

We looked at the new Easy Day Academy, which is both an introduction to the world (including tutorials) as well as a great level. It\u2019s a sprawling campus containing the greatest hits of southern California school design\u00a0\u2013 or at least as we imagine it as skaters. Concrete banks, benches, planters, rails, bike racks, and stairs are all in abundance, and the spawn-drop tool is handy if you want to explore a spot more out-of-reach, like the top of the\u00a0school.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Skater XL\u2019s downtown L.A. environment contains its own runs and possibilities, from the plazas around the Staples Center to the possibilities of Koreatown. Overall, downtown\u2019s skateable objects are more compact than the academy, representing a more real-world street skating geography. At the time of this writing, Easy Day hinted at as-yet-unannounced locations which represent different aspects of skating beyond just street, so perhaps we\u2019ll see the inclusion of plywood or concrete pool\u00a0parks.<\/p>\n

Although these areas are not physically linked to each other, each one includes challenges and objectives that serve as nominal guides, showing off cool lines and some of what the environment has to offer. Nevertheless, all of the locations are unlocked from the\u00a0beginning.<\/p>\n

Easy Day has continued to layer on more tricks as well as new structures to do them on. Powerslides and reverts were added this year, and mini-ramps and vert will be included. The team has also added coping grinds\u00a0\u2013 seamless grinds you transition to on a ramp without having to ollie.<\/p>\n

The latter is an example of how the game\u2019s tricks, animations, and level design come together to create skating that flows together. Although the controls (each foot is represented by an analog stick) seem daunting at first, the game is not as strict about its trick execution as Skate (where a trick demands a specific series of inputs), but controlling your legs and manipulating your board isn\u2019t physics run amok. Speaking of which, your skater\u2019s overall body seems to have more weight compared to earlier demos. This makes your body less bouncy when biffing on a rail, for\u00a0instance.<\/p>\n

The game has also made strides in its customization options. First and foremost, real-life skaters Tiago Lemos, Brandon Westgate, Tom Asta, and Evan Smith are playable (with more possible in the future), and they come with a few of their actual product sponsorships. While some of their real-life gear is locked to them, other gear can be used by any skater. At the time of this writing, Easy Day says it has a large roster of skate brands, including DC shoes, Element, Primitive, Blind, Independent, and many more, and overall you can select your skater\u2019s gender, hair style, outfits, grip tape, wheels, skin tone, and\u00a0more.<\/p>\n

The pre-release modding community has taken skater customization into its own hands with a number of fan-made creations, but whether the final release actually uses mods (which is complicated on home consoles) remains an open question. So far, modders have greatly expanded the game by creating their own skate spots, among many other additions, so getting some percentage of the current 15,000-plus mods in the final product would be a big\u00a0win.<\/p>\n

The crucial question of mods is underscored by the fact that currently the game\u2019s online multiplayer is possible thanks to a mod. Easy Day has been in contact with its creators, and it may use the mod for multiplayer until Easy Day implements its own offering at a later date. For the game as a whole, the studio is weighing several post-release plans, and stresses that it wants to add free content first, before the possibility of paid packs.<\/p>\n

Skaters make pulling off tricks look easy, but it\u2019s not effortless, and making a skating game is a harder task still. Starting with an understandable and fluid control scheme, Easy Day has surrounded its core gameplay with level designs filled with trick possibilities and customization elements to further augment players\u2019 creativity. If the latter is infinitely boosted by mod support, Skater XL could be a canvas for untold possibilities.\u00a0<\/p>\n

If you want to see how the game’s coming along for yourself, you can check out the public beta on steam, which includes the transition grinds, a test miniramp, customization options, and more.<\/p>\n\n
