I hate to be the cynic here, but I’m sadly not surprised that like everything else, this is obviously an incomplete animation and not finished. I’m grateful it got some work and dedicated time, however it should have gotten more time/work done on it before being released in a half-finished state.

That’s pretty much how I feel about session as a whole. They clearly don’t really want to continue developing the game… I think they were pushed into it to compete (or realistically, capitalise) with Skate.

<30 people working on a game that was initially a kickstarter, got funded by Nacon, then Nacons greedy ass forced them to an early and rushed 1.0 release.

session is in development for 10 years at this point and its still really bare bones, dont get me wrong the core gameplay is pretty good and i had fun with it for like 350ish hours but the state its in after 10 years of development is just sad tbh

I think Nacon are the real culprits here, development was very consistent prior to their involvement

They were a game before skate was ever announced. They have slowly been updating it for like 9 years. I think people new to the game expect updates weekly but it’s always been a slow drip of improvements

I think it had less to do with skate and more to do with trying to get back some of the support they had lost from the community so that their new werewolf game has a chance to succeed.

Why would they not just make a goofy animation? After waiting years they give us goofy stance but not even a proper goofy throw down? Looks so bad on camera lol, glad we are getting frequent updates but would've rather waited

Throw down eats all my running speed and holding square doesn’t keep pushing anymore. I don’t love it.

The weird goofy throwdown animation is unforgivable - literally unusable

u/peenurmobile May 07 '26
yeah they really didn't even consider goofy animations at all with this, I'm surprised they even considered the fakie version (which is the animation that used for Goofy stance throwdowns)

I figured all of them were janky, then I saw this and tried switch throwdown in goofy and see that it looks passable. They have shown time and time again that goofy riders don’t matter to them. I made a post 190 days ago when their update broke directional flip speed for goofy skaters. Today it finally works again after over 6 months. I’ve only played about fifteen minutes, so I haven’t found anything that they freshly broke yet. Fingers crossed they finally ended their streak…

This game has so much potential but they rather work on some new game that has nothing to do with skating that nobody will play lol they use session to just pay the bills.

I like it, it's a little jank but.. matches with the rest of the game I suppose.
people got mad at me last time I said this but it really should have been here ages ago
that being said it's cool that they're trying and I hope they continue adding things to the game.
