I'm building HOPE, a PC-focused Skate3Recomp fork — looking for feedback from Skate 3 players
Hey everyone — I'm working on
HOPE: Hills, Ollies, Pavement, Expression
. I started it because I love Skate 3 and want to help people get back to skating, finding spots, and making videos.
First, credit where it belongs:
HOPE is built on Skate3Recomp by mchughalex
. The original recompilation and native renderer are their work. HOPE is my community fork, with a Windows launcher and additional PC tools.
What's included on Windows:
- A mouse/keyboard/controller-friendly launcher with separate careers.
- Graphics controls: resolution scale, MSAA, ambient occlusion, fog/haze, bloom, shadows, reflections, FOV and more. Options depend on the renderer.
- Save browsing, backup/restore tools, and confirmed removal with recovery copies.
- Import tools for Skate 3 DLC you already own.
- Optional experimental crowd styles, No Intro Videos, and compatible settings-manifest imports. The importer is not a universal loader for every Skate 3 mod.
Start/Menu still opens Skate 3's original menu for Restart, Trick Book, map and replay. Escape or RB + Start opens HOPE's PC settings.
You must provide your own Skate 3 Xbox 360 ISO. No game files, DLC files, or ISO links are included.
It's still a work in progress. The blank new-career difficulty/camera screen and a clothing issue remain under investigation. The latest source includes a welcome-screen bypass that is not yet in the downloadable release. Returning to the launcher closes the game; returning to Skate 3's actual title screen is unfinished. Linux/macOS downloads are experimental native-game builds without the Windows launcher.

The images show the actual launcher using an empty test setup, not gameplay proof. If you try it, I'd appreciate your platform/GPU/controller, what works, and reproducible bug reports. What PC feature would help your sessions most?
I made this from the heart for the community. I'd love to see more Skate 3 lines and videos out there again. If it inspires a clip, share it with
