Do you think it's time for a new SSX from EA?
I was a huge fan of SSX 3 and SSX On Tour. I never played SSX, I played SSX Tricky (but didn't own it).
Lately there are just a lack of snowboarding games that can compete with last gen:
- Amped 3 is probably the closest, but it's not as wild or fast as SSX series got
- Shaun White's Snowboarding was a realistic take on snowboarding and wasn't well received
- Stoked was also realistic (like skate) and did okay, but not many people played it
It's a shame only SSX3 is Backwards Compatable on the 360.

I fall on the SSX3 side of "3 vs. Tricky" debate, since I liked the Euro-cool vibe and soundtrack more, but both games were awesome. On Tour was a huge disappointment coming after those two, and SSX Blur, while intriguing with the Nunchuk carving, focused too much on wacky symbol-drawing and completely sucked the soul out of the franchise and characters.
A true full-on SSX sequel on any system would be welcomed with open arms in the Lunker household. Fans of SSX should definitely check out Pure on PS3 and 360: It doesn't quite hit the same highs, but it grabs a lot of the same over-the-top spirit (and even has Übertricks!).

I love the crap out of 3, but Tricky was really great too. Both games are different enough that they can co exist.
Why they haven't made another one is beyond me. This is EA after all.
Yes, it's not SSX, but man, it fills the gap until they wake up and make another one.:^:
As much as I hate to admit it, playing SSX is what got me interested in snowboarding.

I also made a generally neglected love thread last year to go along with the generally neglected Pure. :P
Sadly, I thought I had heard in a rumors post that EA has shuttered its EA Big division, so that's probably why it's taken ages, but mediocre sales of On Tour and Blur is probably what's kept it from returning the most.
Though part of me is glad that they just haven't been pumping them out left and right, like a lot of other series do.
Probably the finest use of a licensed song to date.

I watched that intro every single time I booted the game.
Get Pure!
Yeah I think I might get Pure as well.
Just the atmosphere in the SSX games were amazing, I love the night courses.
Awww yeah! I had forgotten how cool that intro was. That game has so much style.

And then when I got 3 I spent hours getting almost all the items/clothes for every character.
Then I ignored On Tour since I heard it was shit.
They just lacked the personality and energy that made me all

I feel exactly the same way. My friends and I played the hell out of the original and tricky and I just could never really get into it after that.
I lost so many hours of my life to SSX3. The hidden routes, mixed with the fantastic physics for various snow surfaces, made the game an absolute joy to play.
Hell, nothing was better than slightly drifting through a turn made of pure ice.
I forgot it existed.
When I saw this thread, I was like..."Where was SSX 4?"
Anyways, Tricky was a goddamn amazing game.
Pure is nothing like SSX though, even in feel. I bought it for $7 at Best Buy a few weeks back and have barely touched it. It does nothing for me.
Was it on sale or something? Can I somehow get that price?
$7 for something that may possible be like SSX sounds like a good deal to me.
Best Buy had a few games on mad clearance. Pure, Hellboy, and...something else.
One thing I didn't like was once I played SSX3, I couldn't play Tricky anymore. I think SSX3 auto-rotated you upright more than it did in Tricky, because I always would up upside down in Tricky after playing 3 for a while.
Moby was by far the most badass character in the series.
Also SSX3 is the best. Tricky was indeed awesome, but in 3 you could ride down the entire mountain, took like 30 minutes.
Also the music queues were badass, sailing off a huge jump and the music would quieten to a soft part of the song allowing you to hear the wind rushing past, then it would slam back in on a heavy riff or something on the landing.
Yes, SSX5 is far past due.
I LOVED when that happened.
I did the peak run a few times with the music turned completely off just so that I can hear the perfect noise it made when turning on the slick ice.
Symon was my favorite.
Psymon
get it?
because he's psycho
Either that or he has psychic snowboard powers!
It could happen

All of them had to have psychic snowboard powers what with the board flipping and throwing they could do.
Let's hope EA brings back "EA SPORTS BIG" or some new subsidiary for the SSX series
That's because you're evil and have no soul
