EA skiing game

First off, This isn't a thread asking why we don't have a skiing video game. My friend's dad works for EA and he is a pretty important person. He gets hundreds of ideas for video games each week. But I asked my friend if he would talk to his dad about a skiing game and he said he would, but not without some good ideas first. So, I thought I would let you guys throw some ideas in here and I would organize them and then give them to my friends dad.

afterbang should be a choice for one of the gestures you can do on the d pad like in skate 2. the bird should be a gesture too.

^You're fine. Your grammar is..acceptable. On another note...

Glad I could produce some laughs with my previous post. I did know what he meant by 'the bird'.

you do realize that you're gnna email EA and get some BS automated response saying "thank you for your input, we are always interested in our customers ideas, we will look into it." and they wont even read anything you say.

No I don't want it just for the Wii, I just want an iteration of it from the aformentioned game. And I don't need any slander. I was poor at the time and I wanted the Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. And Mario Galaxy. Right now I'd happily prefer an Xbox 360...almost..

Got it, got it, got it. ;) I don't want any more info.

If I were a better game programmer, and you needed help, I would.

And...

this thread's prophetic(as in prophecy) purpose has been fulfilled.

Harsh,

How bout you give him props for at least trying, and making a post that got some awesome responses which have actually helped in the development of the actual game that is being made.

Forget EA, this thread has made an impact one way or the other.

Cheers,

P.S. your name is pink, but pretty sure your a dude... weird right?

I guess this is definatly happening for all you doubters. My high skillz detective work:

#1: His username is Jib-Life (Itz Orange)

#2: Jib Life is the name of said 'game'

#3: They requested Programmers/designers a while back.

#4: Probably stuff on the searchbar but I'm Lazy.

Still... we want game!

Please, for the love of all that is holy, make the movements and proportions of the riders look real.

Even if it's simple movements and not super fluid.

EA skate is close, but the characters still have the proportions of video game people, not real people. They don't make turns quite right, it looks awkward.

Granted skate is still amazing, but the way the characters move and their proportions are the things that bother me more than anything else. It's so annoying.

summing it up:

skate it controls and progression; ability 2 control corks and afterbang; urban park and back country; small names in single player/ big names in multiplayer; ability 2 control how u wear your clothes; sponsorships that u hav 2 rly work for; REAL gear, not made up companies; superunknown style comp 2 c who gets 2 b th small name single player characters; and overall, keep AWAY from Amped

i dont know how this guy could refuse; simply kickass

Everything in Skate except there should be weather and the ability to chose terrain like on powder days go hit up the back country and huge cliffs and pillow lines haha but on sunny spring days you go skiing in the park.

And you should have to learn a lot of the difficult tricks by going to camps and water ramps and foam pits.

Let there be multiplayer free ski unlike skate has which is very disappointing

Tons of customizing options like skate again with major brand names.

yea...FUN!!!
