Modder turns Sekiro into Tony Hawk-style skateboarding sim ‘Jet Set Sekiro’

Now that is what I am speaking about: Modder Ionian-MikiriyAKATotallyNotShinobi (god rattling that is a mouthful) has come out with a banger on the Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice Nexus: Jet Set Sekiro, a customized skateboarding degree the place you shred across the Fountainhead Palace just like the spirit of 2002 by no means died.

The channel Mod Server on YouTube has an excellent video of the factor in motion: It retrofits Sekiro’s regular animations for skateboarding gameplay, with a brand new motion system that features precisely the way you’d anticipate.

The brand new degree, which seems closely based mostly on (if not simply reusing the format of) the bottom recreation’s Fountainhead Palace, sees you rolling round and amassing spray paint canisters to graffiti tag choose spots on the map.

It is a pleasant little mod, and feels very a lot according to the historical past of skateboarding video games writ massive. I am pondering of how Darth Maul was an unlockable character in Tony Hawk Professional Skater 3, or Spyro the Dragon’s varied skateboarding ranges in Spyro 3: 12 months of the Dragon. At a cosmic degree, I really feel like there is a kinship between Japanese motion and skateboarding video games, much like the one between hip-hop and kung fu motion pictures.

This is not the primary crossover between skateboarding and FromSoft particularly: I fondly recall the Firelink Shrine modded map for Tony Hawk’s Underground 2 by sockpuppetkingdom. It paired superbly with the Solaire participant mannequin by Syeo. The distinction this time round is that Ionian-Mikiriy introduced the skateboarding to FromSoft, and never the opposite manner round.

In different videogame skateboarding information, one among our favourite video games of final 12 months, Skate Story, is on sale for $16 on GOG. Please don’t pirate it, it doesn’t matter what its creator Sam Eng says.
