Virtual Skate

The closest to actual skateboarding you can get. Virtual Skate is the newest evolution of skateboarding games. Your hands control your feet giving you intuitive and next level board control. Skate with friends, customize your skater with mod gear, grab a camera and film your tricks, or test your skills with challenging obstacle courses. Pump to go faster on ramps by throwing your hands down.

The evolution of skate game controls... First we had button presses, then single stick controls, next we had dual stick controls. Virtual Skate let's you control the board in all new dimensions. Each hand controls a foot directly, like hand boarding. Instead of having a 2D axis to control each foot, you now have full 3D control over your feet. Not only does this open up a whole new world of board control, it also let's you style your tricks in ways that aren't possible with canned animations.

Grab a camera and actually film your tricks. The fully interactive replay mode allows you to follow skaters to film lines with ease, zoom in and out, ramp slow mo, and play back your favorite clips. Not only is the replay system immersive and nostalgic for those of us who skate, it brings a whole new skill to filming. Every skate crew has a filmer friend, someone who can actually hold a camera steady... Well now they can skate with you, rewind time in replay mode, and film the whole crew including themselves. The camera also sports a little fisheye when you zoom out enough.

Skate with up to 5 of your friends online! Hang out or get some clips with the homies. Voice chat, lip sync animations, and hand gestures let you express yourself naturally. Join a Quick Skate game to skate and socialize with new people or find your friends via the Sessions browser.

Express your style with potentially unlimited amount of customization options for both your skater and your board with new gear mod support. Make your look stand out just as much as your skating.

Looking to challenge yourself? Test your skills on a variety of obstacle courses, get medals for beating time limits, or push yourself to beat your own time record.

Customize your gameplay using the stats menu and make your experience comfortable with options like board offset, snap rotation, or a custom vignette.

Virtual Skate puts you on the board and lets you feel every pop, grind, and impact, without the broken bones and rolled ankles. Perfect for the old heads who can't huck it down big stair sets like they used to, or for rainy days that ruin a good session. Link up with friends, shred all day, and keep stacking clips.
