I always found it creepy that if u hop on skate 3 u still all your friends skating around as their characters, like you play skate 3 once and create an alternate version of yourself that's forever skating around in skate
Dude the death thing makes way too sense. Especially when most of the map is in memory to Don Hartley. At the beginning when you fly off the roof and die is kinda similar to how don Hartley died. He died from injuries due to a fall during skateboarding (I’m serious search it up). Seems like you die and go to skateboard heaven just like their friend. The whole game is in memory of him not the just map.
I thought i was going to regret watching this, but the ending really makes me appreciate Skate 3 about 10x more. It feels soo accurate just on the ambience alone. Its soo right.
I remember as a kid when this game came out I went over to my uncles house, which was like a safe haven and always the most fun I had as a kid, he pulled this game out, brand new, goes to customize and has those damn striped socks, I tried to get them after I got the game and never could, asked em how he got em, and he never even knew how he did That’s crazy dude
I mean, sure every game has rushed and cut features throughout development, but my God is Skate 3 a mess. I know for some reason everyone puts this game on a massive pedestal, but if you just stop and look around and actually think about it, there is a lot of pathetic inexcusable shit in the game.
Firstly, I challenge you to take even 15 or so minutes and load into Skate 3 and not skateboard at all. Just walk around the map and watch. Watch the cars and NPCs. Look at the textures of the vehicles, windows, buildings, roads, paths and so on. Go look at the logic of the environment you find yourself in. Just stop and actually think about what you are seeing. It is impossible for me to list everything I have noticed, even in only a one hour period. This type of shit is everywhere and so obvious. The most obvious flaws are in the environment. Everything is designed to be skated. There are very few authentic feeling spots in the entire map. It’s like they built a giant skatepark then half tried to mask it as a city afterward. Although still with many of the same issues, at least Skate 2 was designed to be a city first and skatepark second. Not always, but far less obnoxious than Skate 3. That isn’t even the worst of it though. If you really stop and look around the textures are always out of place and horrible quality given the age of the game. It somehow aged worse than games 10 years older than it. Each of the 3 areas (university, downtown, and industrial) each have only one reflection entity. This means that every single window in the entire game no matter where it’s positioned reflects the same image. Then there are the vehicles and NPCs. I have no idea who coded, modelled and textured these things but Jesus fucking Christ it’s more realistic to be skateboarding in free mode without a single NPC in the city than with them walking around into traffic and off cliffs and shit. The cars look like shit, they sound like shit, they drive and animate worse than GTA games from the 90’s. NPCs simply spawn around the player and walk around with no proper pathing or navmesh or anything. They didn’t even try to pretend they give a shit. They spawn and just clutter around the area like zombies in a dead rising game. Also, what the serious fuck does the aggression meter / taser shit add to the game? If you bump into one of these lifeless zombie shitheads they chase you down at 200mph to taser you. That is what they spent their time animating and coding instead of just making them even try to act like humans. It’s just so stupid. The other thing with NPCs is the emphasis on skating. Probably 40% or more of the NPCs you’ll encounter are skateboarding as well, and as you play the city gets critically vandalized by your teams logo to an exceptionally unrealistic extent. It’s cool to see your popularity and progress but holy shit you take over the city like a third world dictator not as a skater found on magazines. I can’t remember the last time someone stickerbombed my house with 500 birdhouse stickers because of Tony Hawk’s popularity. It just sticks out as really stupid and out of place once it gets out of hand. It’s not just in skateparks it’s literally the whole map. Speaking of the map, just please go around and just look at shit. It’s the easiest way to prove this point. But once again, there are doors all over that are either half the size of a human, or big enough for you and 5 friends to enter standing on each other’s shoulders. It’s like they told the team to just start making buildings and assets without giving anyone a scale first and they never corrected it. There are garage doors that could never fit vehicles, stairs to nowhere, loading bays into warehouses that lead to massive drops or pathways without road access. There are roads that run right through parking lots or to dead ends. All of which have their own problems like parking spots that are either 1/10 the size of the cars in the game or big enough to fit more than 3 of them. There are parking spots painted onto sidewalks and in lots that you literally wouldn’t be able to drive into. In the industrial district there are plants with bugged lighting so no matter where they are placed they glow unnaturally which is made even funnier by the fact that they look horrible and almost lego like. The seems of roads, paths and ground textures are all razor sharp lines that look like 90’s game tech, made worse again by the quality of the textures. This list goes on and on. Again just look around, you do not have to look hard. It is literally everything in the game. Besides AI, visuals and logic, the multiplayer modes are so half-assed they are unplayable. If you have ever played a game of SKATE you should know that it only registers properly maybe 60% of the time. Switch, nollie and fakie have no effect on tricks. You can do a basic kick flip and get errored by the game, then the next player can do footplants and all that stupid shit to trick the game into thinking he did a quad kick flip 1260 which I shouldn’t have to explain why that’s abysmal. This isn’t even exclusive to just games of SKATE or multiplayer but that’s the most popular and easiest target to point out the issues. Now I’m not saying that you can’t enjoy Skate 3, you can definitely have fun playing it. It’s just sad that it’s the best we have. There are really no good skateboarding games. Trust me I’ve been playing them all since the 90’s. By today’s standards we really don’t have a good skateboarding game. Skate 3 is maybe a 4/10 game, but the rest are all worse so it’s held to some weird godlike status, but that doesn’t mean it’s good, it’s just all we have. I have played many many hours of Skate 3, I have played the DLC, I have done the entire “story” mode all the way through twice. Yes there is fun to be had, but again there is so so so much wrong with this game and I don’t know how people continue to ignore it.
Never heard the death theory before! But as soon as you said it, it resonated with me! I love the game. But it does feel a bit “dead” compared to the first two. Kind of feels empty somehow. Interesting points too. ;)
The player being dead in skate 3 is actually a good theory. It all makes sense. And also, a heaven where you skate to your hearts content and nobody bothers you sounds awesome
I used to absolutely grind skate 3 when I was a little kid. Stopped playing for a long time and found this vid and I know basically nothing on here, even at the top iceberg level. Deffinitly gonna have to dust off my PS3 and try some of these things out.
The nollie pop “trick” is just that jumping holds momentum, if you jump down a hill you’ll carry the gravity and momentum down and out of a pop so you’ll continue to stay at max speed, it’s how you win races everytime
i remember hearing the death theory a few years ago and holy shit the memories but it actually makes sense when you think about it everything he mentioned makes sense but also the marker point exist as in when you mess a trick up if you want you can go back to your marker as that would be a thing that a skater would obviously like having not to mention that your skate character can fall off building and break technically an infinite amount of bones and be fine
I recall that if you plug your multitap into your x box with action replay going, unlock all the WWE characters in smash, watch 4 hours of rugrats. Pee in your system while playing HALL OF MEAT, you will unlock Tarnick Wisk!!
"Why would the developers create an extra location for the cover and then delete it afterwards?" Because it would have played like garbage. It's not an " Extra location," It's a jumble of reused assets assembled in a week that serves no purpose other than to look good from one camera angle.
I remember putting a marker at the top of those cranes by meticulously parkouring my way up the cliff up onto the base of the crane and just repeatedly jump up toward the top since its too steep to walk on... This makes me want to go up there again and see if I can hop off and land anywhere.
Great video. Last year I celebrated the 10th anniversary in a small way by posting my best clips on Instagram. It seemed like no one was talking about it from what I could see. But by chance I noticed a few weeks ahead of time that Skate 3 was turning 10 so I got a bit excited and nostalgic. I also believe the dead skater theory. Thanks for the video.
@@jakubknioa1159 I think the reason it’s scary is cause you’re not scared of being alone you’re scared that you aren’t alone while playing it. I used to get kinda creeped out roaming around the maps and when the noise in the game got quieter
My one problem with the death theory is that it seems odd that Reda wouldn't notice the skater dying. He seemed really concerned when they get hit by a bus in the first game. I would have thought he'd be more attentive if something happened to his favorite source of footage. Ah well. It's still a more fun explanation as to why Port Carverton felt so empty.
I agree with the death theory! Since playing at launch I thought the game was pretty much confirming that too while still leaving it open to interpretation. The fact the city is named after the famous dead skater is the cherry on top really showing their intentions to make their last skate game stand out
I think I remember hearing way back, maybe 15 years ago about a cruise ship installing a skatepark on one of their mega-ships. Maybe that relates to the Carnival pack????
that was just crazy. i‘ve been playing this game since release, made a break from 2015 until now, and this is the first time i hear about most of these things. This video is just legendary, thanks so much!
You could make an iceberg exclusively about things in the levels. There's a launched trashcan in the sanitorium, multiple underground benches (most well known one is in the art gallery), weird underground arrow textures in the art gallery, a location in art gallery that consistently crashes your game if you get there, a HUGE area of grass in the downtown district it's quite easy to get to, and a church near the memorial with secret, ominous sounding music. There's also 4 inside out poles, and inside out tree, and an inside out rock.
merging the park with the world deserves special mention because someone did that shit by accident shortly after release and uploaded a video, and it took like a decade for someone to figure out how to do it
I hadn't seen any comments about it so far, so I thought I might throw one in, even if you don't see it. I love, absolutely love, your use of songs by 'Home' in this video. They're so refreshing to hear again, particularly out of nowhere like in this video and they're fitting, I feel, for this video. You have an excellent taste in music, lemme just say.
It's insane that, even after 11 years, i still play this game almost every day. It is just so much fun and you find a new challenge every time. Just a lovely glitchy game
I thought the last thing was just for fun and laughs but it just makes too much damn sense it's scary lol, you changed my whole perspective of the game
I agree with the death theory without even realizing it. Something about skate 3 just felt off compared to 1 & 2. Skate 3 had this empty life feeling, while 1 & 2 felt more alive. I dont know maybe thats just me. I love them all regardless tho
I have played EVERY Skate game known to man... and NOTHING compares to the Skate Series. I love Tony Hawk for that Arcade Style Skate Game, but "Skate" had a Community and it was unmatched by any other game. I would love to see it come back. Huge Fan 🤟
I think one of the more interesting facts is much of daly estates is vacant houses, maybe being a poke at the 2008 housing crisis that happened recently when the game was made.
Also D1zE for the asylum screams you would want to go to the red scaffolding that leads to those double ramps with gap. You could hear it more clearly there
Fabio didn´t die in a race, he died in the series of tremors that affected San Vanelona after Skate 1 and before Skate it, aslo. The joke about bigfoot comes from the Round 3 video, made by almsot with Chris Haslams being cartooned as bigfoot.
Videos like this are always cool to see since I I used to put so many hours and hours a day into skate 3 when I was younger. I have put well over 3k hours played in the game. It’s no contest my most played game on Xbox 360 😅. It’s without a doubt one of my favorite games of all time, and although I don’t play much anymore I still love it a lot.
Ok in terms of finding the location of the trick guide. Using the skybox the trick guide is located in an area between the mountains in the skybox and the skyscrapers in the skybox. Since the trick guide was out during the demo it’s probably outside of a non dlc map. It has to be outside one of the districts. I’m leaning towards university as the trick guide existed in in the demo and the university district was the only map in the demo. Or it’s also outside the skate school.
Berlin council was originally going to let people skate/graffiti etc. on the pillars of the memorial in germany but voted against in the end might make it easier knowing that when skating them in game haha
Brilliant video! Didn’t expect myself to watch it the whole way through but it had me HOOKED! Amazing explanations and props to you for really digging through. Good video man! 👍
I loved it! As a former Skate 3 player since the good old days, I absolutely adored watching this! PLease, for the love of god if you could make more like this
this video is sick, ive easily over 1k hours in this game and im still finding out new stuff about it. i got a series x in anticipation for skate 4 even though i know its a long ways off
So with the art gallery map being unfinished I heard it was direct port that's why the dlc was big than what people thought it would be which makes sense the more I think about it
You can go on top of basically any building in this game, if you can get up there of course. I used to use the glitch with the upside down quarter pipe to launch myself on top of the chann center and do the jump from the beginning of the game. I played this game wayyyy too much when I was a kid

Could you do a whole video on the “death theory” because it’s so interesting?
Frfr
I think I remember hearing way back, maybe 15 years ago about a cruise ship installing a skatepark on one of their mega-ships. Maybe that relates to the Carnival pack????
It’s so weird how we are all still obsessed with skate and still play skate like we are still kids.
that was just crazy. i‘ve been playing this game since release, made a break from 2015 until now, and this is the first time i hear about most of these things. This video is just legendary, thanks so much!
You could make an iceberg exclusively about things in the levels.
There's a launched trashcan in the sanitorium, multiple underground benches (most well known one is in the art gallery), weird underground arrow textures in the art gallery, a location in art gallery that consistently crashes your game if you get there, a HUGE area of grass in the downtown district it's quite easy to get to, and a church near the memorial with secret, ominous sounding music. There's also 4 inside out poles, and inside out tree, and an inside out rock.
also people have gotten to the ship with mods and they are confirmed not made of solid geometry
merging the park with the world deserves special mention because someone did that shit by accident shortly after release and uploaded a video, and it took like a decade for someone to figure out how to do it
I hadn't seen any comments about it so far, so I thought I might throw one in, even if you don't see it. I love, absolutely love, your use of songs by 'Home' in this video. They're so refreshing to hear again, particularly out of nowhere like in this video and they're fitting, I feel, for this video. You have an excellent taste in music, lemme just say.
The “missing texture” glitch would actually be a cool deck
This video has the potential to blow up. We’ll see 🤷♂️
HAHA I WAS RIGHTTT BOIIII
you were indeed damn right! 😅
Bro I loved this!! I remember trying to find Beastman lol. also being in "the best,rise,obey clan, was a joke.. wish i never was in that mix :( lol
Sympathetic af
This is so cool bro. Skate 3 is most definitely one of my top favorite games of all time.
There is a rickroll refrence in this game. Masterpiece
Where?
The locale on the cover is like a weird tetexturred area from 2, kinda like the out of bounds in art gallery
It's insane that, even after 11 years, i still play this game almost every day. It is just so much fun and you find a new challenge every time. Just a lovely glitchy game
Skate 4 is confirmed
I thought the last thing was just for fun and laughs but it just makes too much damn sense it's scary lol, you changed my whole perspective of the game
Great work man, I play it for years and had no idea about 50% of the stuff you talked about
The death theory explains why our skaters can literally travel at the speed of light.
the dead theory actually makes sense, never thought about it
I agree with the death theory without even realizing it. Something about skate 3 just felt off compared to 1 & 2. Skate 3 had this empty life feeling, while 1 & 2 felt more alive. I dont know maybe thats just me. I love them all regardless tho
I know exactly what you’re talking about and the feeling
Right now I have to go back and play all the skate games through, that death theory just changed the whole feel of the story for me
I have played EVERY Skate game known to man... and NOTHING compares to the Skate Series. I love Tony Hawk for that Arcade Style Skate Game, but "Skate" had a Community and it was unmatched by any other game. I would love to see it come back. Huge Fan 🤟
This was really good, worth the wait!
I can confirm that Nollie Pops do make you go faster.
This bug is very useful on races.
I think one of the more interesting facts is much of daly estates is vacant houses, maybe being a poke at the 2008 housing crisis that happened recently when the game was made.
I’ve never played any of the skate games but youtube took me down a rabbit hole today and this was very interesting.
Seeing this brings back nostalgic memories
I feel the death theory is very accurate but kinda pisses me off for going over my head lol
Also D1zE for the asylum screams you would want to go to the red scaffolding that leads to those double ramps with gap. You could hear it more clearly there
Fabio didn´t die in a race, he died in the series of tremors that affected San Vanelona after Skate 1 and before Skate it, aslo. The joke about bigfoot comes from the Round 3 video, made by almsot with Chris Haslams being cartooned as bigfoot.
Videos like this are always cool to see since I I used to put so many hours and hours a day into skate 3 when I was younger. I have put well over 3k hours played in the game. It’s no contest my most played game on Xbox 360 😅. It’s without a doubt one of my favorite games of all time, and although I don’t play much anymore I still love it a lot.
16:45 "You can get to the boat" 17:15 "It is impossible to get to the boat" // Got me dying lmaoo
Sometimes I forget that skate 3 s concept art was way cooler than what we got.
That last theory blew my mind.
The memorial blocks one got me good. Now I feel horrible knowing I kickflip nose grind nollie bigspin’d out of them
Ok in terms of finding the location of the trick guide. Using the skybox the trick guide is located in an area between the mountains in the skybox and the skyscrapers in the skybox. Since the trick guide was out during the demo it’s probably outside of a non dlc map. It has to be outside one of the districts. I’m leaning towards university as the trick guide existed in in the demo and the university district was the only map in the demo.
Or it’s also outside the skate school.
ngl playing a game where you skating in your own personal heaven sound kinda cool
Berlin council was originally going to let people skate/graffiti etc. on the pillars of the memorial in germany but voted against in the end might make it easier knowing that when skating them in game haha
i used to watch rise skating every day back then 😢😢
Brilliant video! Didn’t expect myself to watch it the whole way through but it had me HOOKED! Amazing explanations and props to you for really digging through. Good video man! 👍
this is probably the greatest iceberg video ever, especially that ending
old games were something else like this typa lore is js so special
I played hundred of hours of this game and never heard about most of these. Amazing iceberg!
I loved it! As a former Skate 3 player since the good old days, I absolutely adored watching this! PLease, for the love of god if you could make more like this
this video is sick, ive easily over 1k hours in this game and im still finding out new stuff about it. i got a series x in anticipation for skate 4 even though i know its a long ways off
So with the art gallery map being unfinished I heard it was direct port that's why the dlc was big than what people thought it would be which makes sense the more I think about it
You can go on top of basically any building in this game, if you can get up there of course. I used to use the glitch with the upside down quarter pipe to launch myself on top of the chann center and do the jump from the beginning of the game. I played this game wayyyy too much when I was a kid
that baby crying is everyone asking for skate 4
Nahh, more like 17:49
I was so proud of myself when I found the secret Danny way ramp without ever looking it up
Great video, we can see it took a lot of time! A "Skate 2 Iceberg Explained" video would be dope!
Great Video, the last part was really awesome^^
Man, I didn't know about 95% of this.. This was a solid video, super informative.
