    You can use either an old-school button configuration or the more modern twin-stick approach
    Fantastic

    Every new bit of information they put out is slowly winning me over.

    Except for that "do tricks to change the course thing". Hopefully that can also be toggled off, or is just in a mode I can ignore.

    Wait... that 'up to 100,000 players live at once' thing; does that mean they've done a Test Drive Unlimited and made it so that you see other people boarding while you freeride, or am I just getting my hopes up?

    Oh man. That SSX-esque beat, the whole presentation.. The wing-suits! This looks incredible.

    I wish I could hook up my Wii/Gamecube and bust out SSX3 now.

    The game is no longer called Deadly Descents. It is now simply SSX. Yay!

    Does EA still want us to believe that this was the game they had planned all along?

    Well, it still looks like they are doing that whole "Based on satellite imagery" thing... And if Everest is included, that could be a hell of a run.

    But if they are still showing pre-alpha footage.. yeah, it's possible they reversed direction. And while there's some insane SSX-style jumps and pipes, I haven't seen any of the funpark-style stuff. It all reminds me of the top of SSX3's mountain, the back country... Oh man...

    DAMNIT Why did my Adaptec Gamebridge decide to not have 64-bit drivers?

    I'm referring back to the grimdark tone of the teaser. Discussed to death, I know, but there is no way that teaser is for this game.
    And thank goose for that.

    No problem with it being "based" on satelite imagery, because they've clearly tweaked it to make a proper track. Unless real mountains have glowing boost pads D:

    I'm actually glad this game is coming out in 2012.

    As always, holiday season is too cramped. All I'm getting at that start of next year(so far) is Mass Effect 3, Soul Calibur 5, and XIII-2

    Gentlemen, it is once again time to rock the house, to rock the house, to rock the house. I am lead to believe the forecast may again include a strong chance of tricky, tricky, tricky.

    Best response to consumer feedback ever. There is no way this game shares anything but the most basic of technology with the original trailer they showed.

    Yeah those remind me of the back country runs of 3. Just, you know, jacked to 11 or even 14.


    Yeah, that's right. Fuck 12 and 13, they go straight to 14.

    It looks both edgy and tricky.

    I approve of combining the trickiness with SS3's totally fuck off mountains.

    Shit, wingsuits? Wicked!

    As long as I can play this like I played SSX3, I will play the fuck out of this. SSX3 is one of the great games of all time and all I really want is more of the same.

    But wingsuits? That's an addition that just sounds awesome.

    Man, you weren't kidding. I think there was about a 1-2 second lag when I got the second video started, and the beats actually line up fairly decently!

    More like choice of classic or dual analog controls? Fucking sold.

    Classic all the way, but choices are good.

    I just watched the SSX3 intro, man I forgot how awesome that game was. Did anyone play SSX on Tour, I played a little bit of Blur, but I couldn't stand the controls.

    The new trailers have my optimistic for this one.

  • eelektrikeelektrik Southern CaliforniaRegistered User regular
    I loved SSX On Tour, but Im in the minority. I thought the slope design was fantastic, there was a much less chance of landing out of bounds than there was in SSX 3 because there was more side paths it seemed. SSX 3 I quite often could take a huge jump wrong land out of bounds and get reset messing up my combo or slowing me down in a race. On Tour you usually landed somewhere salvageable. It also had a fantastic soundtrack.

    I gotta say I really never got everyones love for the skate series controls.

    Always seemed really imprecise for the amount of tricks they put on each stick.

    Or maybe I just sucked at it, who knows.
