Skate 3 Really Has a PC Port Now
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
About a week ago, the modder Alex McHugh released the v1.0 initial public release of their Skate 3 recompilation project. To many people’s surprised, it seemed to work out of the box with zero hiccups! Alex kept pushing on the project and at the time of writing, they’re up to v1.03 - boasting support for Windows, Mac and Linux, plus all the game’s DLC is working!
Jov’s Gaming Lounge has a really good tutorial showing off how to install the game plus how they use the open-source games manager Lutris to organize their library.
It kind of feels like magic seeing Xbox 360 games recompiled already. I remember maybe a year ago the Xenia teams stating they’ve got their second game with Perfect compatibility - Perfect Dark Zero. Then earlier this year ReXGlue had their initial launch, ushering in a new means of letting fans fix up the code of their favorite games in C++ and start the porting process.
If you’re just looking for some quality Skate 3 content, you can’t go wrong watching all of HelixSnake’s compilations of them finding new ways to break the game and film some truly hilarious moment!
