yeah i really dont see why there isnt a skiing game yet, they have bmx, and even rollerblading games, and skiing now is pretty much bigger than both. if they made a skiing game with the same physics and stuff as skate i would be soooo happy, like use one stick to control where you put pressure on your skis (like in skate how you use one stick to control the board) so you could ollie, butter, nollie, spin the stick to do like nose butter 3's and stuff, and pop out of them and land in another butter. and when your in the air be able to use the stick to do shifty's and control where your skis are. while the other stick is for your body and spins and stuff.
and be able to tweak any grab just like in skate, like grab true nose, then ninja tweak it just like pk.
and be able to choose your style, from stiffer to super flowy, and be able to use poles or no poles.
but i think the coolest thing, if EA did it, would be to do the map just like skate. like how its one big town, like you could do some place somewhat modeled after summit county or some place like that. like have places like keystone, breck, a-basin, vail, copper, as the main resorts you can ride at, but like scrunch them together so you can pretty much ski around to each resort, or ride a bus/walk when you have to. so you would have all these awesome resorts, with sweet parks, and good bc areas, then go into the town of breck or something and hit/ setup and hit urban stuff, like be able to go around the towns and find and hit urban features. that would be so awesome.
the one thing that seems to suck with EVERY single skiing or snowboarding video game is how shit is set up, like i dont understand how in skate the parks can be setup exactly like anything in real life. but in snowboarding games, the rails are like 1000ft long and 10ft wide, you hit jumps from any angle at any speed and clear the landing yet land perfect, and the mountains and everything is always so out of proportion, and you haul complete ass everywhere. it would be nice if you could just cruize through the park at like 10mph just jibbing rails and stuff, but no, you have to go 200mph, and get 50 ft of air onto a 200ft rail. its just shitty.
so yeah, anyway the only thing that sucks is that i dont see why EA would make a skiing game modeled after skate before they did a snowboarding one. unless this shawn white game by ubisoft prevents them from making a good amount of money. but anyway i guarentee that if EA made a skate like skiing game, they would make a shit ton of money. when a new skateboard or snowboard game comes out, its not a huge deal, lots of people who do those sports buy it, but if they dont they arent really missing out cause there are so many. but with a skiing game, we have been waiting for EVER and pretty much every skier kid out there would be pissing his pants in excitement waiting for it to come out.
sorry for the long post but i want a skiing game!!!
