Gamers die zich nog steeds vermaken met Session: Skate Sim zullen waarschijnlijk weer moeten wennen aan de game. De skateboard-titel is namelijk voorzien van een nieuwe update die nieuwe features en aanpassingen met zich meebrengt, die de game daadwerkelijk anders laat aanvoelen.
De nieuwe update zorgt onder andere voor een geheel nieuw camerasysteem. Hierdoor wordt het veel overzichtelijker voor de speler. Bovendien zijn de physics van de skaters aangepast, waardoor je betere feedback krijgt. Ook is er een nieuwe gratis map toegevoegd, namelijk New York Sewer. Deze was al eerder speelbaar toen er een samenwerking met Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles werd aangegaan, maar verdween na de samenwerking. Deze map is nu dus terug, maar zonder de TMNT verwijzingen.
De volledige changelog van de nieuwste update voor Session: Skate Sim is als volgt:
Camera Overhaul
- Camera positioning & realignment speed overhaul while On Board
- Ensure the camera provides visibility on what’s ahead to better help prepare for tricks, lines, and landings
- Retain player on cam at all times – including on turning & at speed
- Camera while grinding follows the player around curves
- Camera logic & flow on banks, quarter pipes, and liptricks – it helps to see where you’re landing!
- Provides height on cam to provide improved landing visibility
- The camera has better world avoidance techniques
- Camera follows the player on bail instead of the board
- Camera menu options updated / simplified
Improved skate feel & fluidity
This deliverable is more the sum of many core changes, and not all benefits of this work are clear in the gameplay at this point in time. The bulk of the work done is on the code foundation that will facilitate future fixes in both feel & fluidity of the skater. This will also contribute to the flow and friction of the skater, and board, in relation to the game world!
- The New Physical Animation update is ALWAYS on, it was previously off by default.
- We rebuilt the physics assets on the player characters – changing their posture and reaction to player inputs
- Flow & Friction pass #1 – The foundation to the future Flow update this Summer!
Other feel & fluidity bug fixes
- Fixed Goat Feet bug when skating fast
- Fixed Mongo Push Bug – causing the player to bail and bug when not completing a full push
Frame rate Updates
We had previously supported non-optimal frame rate settings in Session, leading to extensive variations in gameplay bugs due to our gamecode structure. Reducing these options allows for a more consistent gameplay experience.
- Removed – 45 / 90 / 120 FPS
- FPS settings are 30 & 60 now – with 60 being ideal
General Bug Fixes
- Skateshop – DLC Merch Cannot Be Sold / Removed From Inventory
- Shop/Apartment – Equipping New Griptape Resets Board to a Blank Deck
- On Board – Skater Turns Too Sharp When Skating Fast
- On Board – Skater Flung Across Map After Respawning Near a Wall
- Landing – Big Drop Landing Causes Instant Fall When Getting Back On Board
- Missions Game loses focus when triggering talk prompt for NPC and walking
- Prog – Unable to Sprint, Set Marker or Push After Changing Map While Prompt is on Screen
- Object Dropper – Object Dropper HUD Persists During Cutscenes
- Loc Scoop+Flip tutorial mission uses inconsistent trick name for 360 Flip.
