Most games of that era use cubemaps that are prerendered 360 screenshots of different locations to the project reflections onto surfaces. It's would be too expensive on the game size to have cubemaps taking pictures of every inch of the game world, so it selects a single point in each location. Having actual 'reflections' that reflect your character would be equivalent to duplicating the world assets just to 'reflect' it. (Since screen space reflections weren't a thing yet)

I think it's a bit inaccurate to say that the game uses a 1993 engine; engines are iterated upon and constantly improve, and it'd be kind of like saying that Unreal Engine 5 games use an engine from 1998. RenderWare 4, in particular, was revealed in 2004. A lot of weird visual effects like the ship text becoming less detailed at a certain distance are just decisions made mostly by the artists to try to aggressively lower the amount of resources the game uses (being on the Xbox 360), and not necessarily an engine limitation.

12:36 bro I died 😭

3:30 This acts surprisingly similar to a particular metal fence in Skate 2, behind the motel that's fairly close to Slappy's Park. If you get to the fence from the OOB side using a No Comply glitch in the backalley, it'll also have that bizarre effect on skaters. Didn't know there was one like it in Skate 3...

Why the teleporter appears at 9:59 is basically your character expanding so much in all directions that it will reach that teleporter. This can happen randomly while just skating arround xenia on any map. On xenia it will also make you fly up into the air if you aren't too fast and it will give you sidecam.

great video! watched it all the way through!

The team HQ teleport glitch only happens when you're playing on rpcs3 with the frame rate boosted. It happens when you run into any surface at the angle shown at 10:00 You can't actually teleport anywhere and half the time youll completely break the camera angle, have it facing in random directions until you restart the game.

This the funniest shit I've seen in a while Like when he said " " I lost it

I knew almost none of this. 10/10 video

Hey, at old factory "secret skatepark" if you're right outside the garage door you tried to coffin under, stand in the corner where the fence and rock meet, your shadow will be bright blue

its so friggin cool seeing syphrus showcase all this stuff that a good majority i just found playing the game for thousands of hours

I love love love your content man. Keep it up and as excited as I am for skate 4 I'm more excited for your content on it!

Been subbed to your channel for a while and I still love all your vids

Not sure if it has been covered, but there are certain rails/ledges that if you grind only on the front truck, it will give you loads of speed and launch you off the end. I know of some in downtown down flights of stairs that provide far too much speed providing only the front truck makes contact. I found it myself growing up and told all my firends, we would have competitions regarding who could launch furthest.

Honestly one of the funniest videos I've seen in a while, its perfect.

Love the Chris prat cameo

Hey, yesterday while playing on megapark I found out that the ledges behind the parking lots and the rails with to high ramps sounds like a rail instead of concread. I do not know if anyone found out of this before, I guess someone on reddit. Love your content.

Being a fan of syphrus is like being a fan of air

you actually need more subs, hope your channel grows into a spike when Skate. comes out

carrying my whole summer love you brh

Love thease videos man keep it up.

I love how messed up this game can be.

yo the jet set radio music had me boppin the whole time.

No joke the production quality on the last few vids is through the roof

Good vid, thoroughly enjoyed

7:30 nuts and bolts soundtrack slappin 🙏

In the after dark dlc, I figured out that the roof had no collision when I was going for a high score on a own the spot there

Good video Sy, I learnt lots of new cool facts and glitches about this game through watching this. Keep it up!👍

Wall running in a skate game? I couldn’t even ever IMAGINE😂

lets goo new syprhus uploaad

These videos are just beautiful to watch

I’m a year late but theres another place where u can do a manny small gap thing with a garage shutter door thing in the industrial area by the concrete shore walkway

1:30 i literally just figured this out like the a couple weeks ago and i said to myself i should tell syphrus but next thing yk he already knows abt it💀

Make one of these on skate 1 and 2

i actually hit the game crash at the town outside of the art gallery while messing around with my friend. we were thoroughly disappointed.

I think there is another airwalk glitch at the downhill in the quarry

I once got yeeted out of bounds in the city by a trash can getting launched so hard at my face

I was just re recommended the what is grindable video from 3 years ago.

Port carvington? Lotta stickers there

omg i just noticed the risk of rain 2 music :)

Oh shit I can't wait for alternative speed glitches Been trying to do the Iconic backwards speed glitch but I barely get it

BOUT TIMEE. love the vids man haha. 🤘

I have a small attention span from add but I managed to watch to the end

Love the mirrors edge soundtrack

This boutta be a good video

Man when he said " " at 1:24 that shit was funny

7:23 HOLY SHIT, THEY WERE TEASING TITANFALL 4 YEARS BEFORE RELEASE

7:05 Let me tell you how confused I was to start hearing Risk of Rain 2. Love that game.

4:28 banana fight

fucking goosebumps everytime u put that mirrors edge music in your videos :, ) and jetsetradio!!

all this video is doing is making me more excited for the new skate game. i really hope they do it right. i miss skate so much :,)

A possibility is that they copied and pasted the world for online and noticed broken parts of the world and forgot to change them on offline, and in the copy and paste portion something’s may have not survived, like the ungrindable ledge.

i love the part when he falls

Skate 4 Finna have a Skattle pass

“Yeah, the engine came out in ‘93, but why do we have games from 2002 with decent reflections?” The.... passage... of linear time?

That's what happens when you rush a developer to do 2 AAA Games... Rip black box

Ok so notifications are fucked completely cool. Good vid

risk of rain 2 music holy cow

It's funny they said no loot boxes yet, they lied about it. There's a total of 18 loot boxes already out.

Yes

Omg free to play, the horror 😱😱😱

What about the basketball court on art gallery

Ur outro song sounds like a remix of the song Boo Johnson used in his Future Nature video part

bro this was probably the reason why skate 3 was loved it wasnt trying to be perfect lmao

Cool vid

acid balls

Good video but I don't get the point in focusing on the original release date of RenderWare. It's a bit disingenuous considering the way software gets updated. It'd be like saying "I'll give them a break because they're using Photoshop, which released in the 1990s." Other than that pet peeve, it was an interesting video with a lot of stuff I never knew about Skate 3.

I littarly have one of the best glitches but i cant show you bc i dont have skate 3 anymore😭

What song is the “spaceman shuffle”

I mean everyone knows 3 was a rush job. It has QOL upgrades to movements etc plus easier to play now but it feels very shallow and just cheaper than 2. It’s also hella annoying at times. I still play it tho 🤷‍♂️

What’s your outro song

i dont get how some of these are even bugs

what song is used at 4:34

1:30 Have you seen the reflections in gta 5😐😐

imagine these vids wit asumsaus editing.

mad video gg

Cool, cool.

Not gonna lie i am kinda scared that skate will be free. We all know ea already like money but how much will a free ea game like money!?!?!

now do a speedrun about getting cancelled

Funny skate man

fax

little error renderware isn't a game engine its a rendering api which was commonly used in games all the time for a long time the wikipedia page lists it as a "engine" but thats innacurate

4:28 is that tomska?

average game session 60k special

whats the song from 0:40 to 2:45 it sounds so familiar

Literally almost died choking on my food because 4:20 was just that funny 😆

CUBERPUNK Round 2

is it?

I hear risk of rain

7:40

i didnt know what to say but still wanted to write a comment

Nice

Kill all challenges in side cam already

Waiting

i love 4:20 when he said " " never laughed so much

10/10

real

Do you really think they dont put any in-game purchase or Pay for that and that things into the game? Im not sure, we are still talking about EA

Always broken

mj leaned forward not backwards
