MNSkiersI'd Agree. Even though I have played THE SHIT out of this game better physics with air rotations and rail mechanics would make this game way more fun to play
twatt_chaurusYes this! Pls devs 1 keystroke for a certain trick, the game will feel so rewarding to play. Then people with only 1 finger can play the game the way it's meant to be played. Or not.
*DUMBCAN*I don't think you understand me. I never suggested releasing a version which is completely impossible to fail in, but to me it seems a critical part of the development pipeline. You make a guided mechanic that works, then you make it harder.
When the dev team for skate started developing the fantastic flick-based controls they were literally working with a command line, they would try a gesture with the right stick and the trick they performed would be printed to the terminal. No graphics, no physics, the game stripped down to its bare bones so they could develop a control scheme that was fun.

DabidI absolutely adore skate & its controls, but I don't see a way to incorporate a similar control scheme onto a computer. Maybe you could do sequences of keystrokes, or a num-pad, but I don't think it would translate that well. Definitely think the controls need a revamp, and it would be fantastic if they could do it in a similar fashion to skate thatd be stellar
twatt_chaurusI was being sarcastic. I agree that the physics need work, but removing the "skill" aspect removes the rewarding feel when you nail that line you were working on.
NewScholarWell, you've really done it now poppermost. Why should people have to have to pay for maps who already forked out $20 in order to support you guys. I'm down with some areas of the F2P model of game making but, you're just going to shun you're original supporters?
AgamemnonAnyone played the beta on PS4 yet? Is it worth buying?

frickindarnI sure fucking did. I still haven't been able to
Play it and snow can't answer why I can't.
GunterGot it a few days ago and ps4 and i cant stop playing
NewScholarHey, wondering when the placeable features are going to be implemented as well as there mechanics. Do you have to buy them (😒) our can you unlock them?
Loey1) It would be so so SO much better if there was no "wind up" and you could turn while holding down pop. It is very difficult to adjust before a rail/jump/feature and then switch to the pop button. the wind up is ok but defiantly not necessary. This would dramatically improve the enjoyment of playing the game. I cannot stress enough how much better this would make the game.
2) speed issues? I have no clue how to improve this but sometimes it seems hard to gain speed.
3) markers: I kept accidentally setting markers because it is very easy to press down. why are there 3 of them? Maybe i didn't play the game long enough to figure this out.
4) Some grabs seem to look awkward. example: grabbing tail (needs to be smoother)
I know everyone is super stoked that there is a legit snow sports game out but the simpler/more user friendly the controls are the more enjoyable the game. While writing this I am just thinking about Skate 3 and Shredsauce. Skate 3 is just the perfect action sports game and controls (i know this is different and cannot be translated to SNOW) Shredsauce has the skier fluidity down. All grabs look smooth and has great rotations and what not.
BrawnTrends- The grinding system is not intuitive at all. I get in front of a rail, just tap X and the guy literally flies over the entire rail without even touching it!
- On some jumps the visibility on flips is really bad (camera angle).
- Still haven't completely figured out how to do grabs...
Aidin954My game doesn't work on PC now. Just shows a black screen at launch.
SNOWTheGameGrinding will be a lot better in 0.9.0 - but remember, you need to slow down to hit rails. You can just fly at them and expect to be locked on. Speed check :)
No camera improvements planned atm, but I'll bring it up with the team.
Grabs on keyboard are with arrow keys, with gamepad (play the tutorial?) you use shoulder button(s) and Right Stick. RB + RS Up = Right handed Nose Grab. RB + RS Down = Right handed Tail Grab, etc.
BrawnTrendsThanks for the answer! When will 0.9.0 come out? I play on PS4.
flatspinnerWhile not a perfect game, Amped 2
SofaKingSickit was close...!
flatspinner1. Speed.
I read through the last several threads and I completely understand that skiing/snowboarding is a gravity sport and flatter areas mean less speed. Free roam on the mountains is no problem, but events and slopestyle...NEVER enough speed. On the Fochi course, I have to skip jump #1 just to hit the next two with any speed. If there is a way to fix this for park/slopestyle situations, I would be all for it. It's extremely difficult to enjoy the game when you're casing every jump.
2. Grabs
Again, I get it without motion capturing it makes it very difficult to realistically depict grabs. It seems that there are just a very limited amount of grabs, perhaps it's user error. While not a perfect game, Amped 2, had a very good grasp on their grabs. Seems like there is a lot of room for improvement here. Mo-capturing, more devs, bigger budget, I get it.
3. Snow shading/texturing
This is my biggest complaint. When I'm shredding down the South Piste, I get snowblind. I can't see bumps, mounds, jumps, etc...it's awful. Texturing would definitely help here. I get going for realism but I don't play video games to get blinded by white voids that I'm currently skiing on.
bananabrainsIs there any chance of removing the time limit on the big air and rail jam parts of the game?
I don't see the point in this aspect at all. Do others agree or is it just me?

gnar_whalAlso, I have been playing Snow quite often the past few days. Everything tends to run pretty smoothly, except that the game ALWAYS crashes after playing for a while. This is consistent, every time I play. One time it crashed it erased all my progress including items I had PAID for.
FerrisBuellerWhen is is out on PS4 ???
andy9127When will the next update be out on ps4 and what will it include?
The.FishI downloaded the game like 6 months ago but just played it for the first time like 2 hours ago. Rails are super hard to lock onto, can you do non surface swaps? I kinda wish the tutorial was a lot longer because I am really lost on what I am supposed to do.

The.FishI played for like 2 more hours and I figured out rails. The jump trick evaluator is really off. A ton of the time I will do a front flip and it calls it a bio 180 lol.
