They keep emphasizing how they are staying true to Tricky and shit. All i care about is that there is skiing, which looks like there will be from the concept art.
when I saw this thread, I automatically thought about some snowboard game I had when I was younger on PS2 called ssx tricky or something haha, totally irelevant.
"If you look at past SSX titles, the tracks you ride down are far from realistic runs. We manipulate them and pile cities on top of them to make them over the top and arcadey, and we absolutely wanted to stick to that principle, but we wanted to give people the amount of content that mega hits like Red Dead Redemption and Grand Theft Auto deliver. So in the early days we started sourcing topography data for the entire planet earth. Our main menu is a 3D model of the planet with 18 different mountain ranges highlighted across the globe: everything from Alaska, to Antarctica, to Siberia, The Calanques Mountains, the Andes, The Alps, Kilimanjaro, Mount Fuji. We’re taking you all over the planet.
We’re a little challenged with how many levels we can put on the disc, honestly, but we’re thinking it will be somewhere in the vicinity of 70 mountains. By comparison, SSX 3 had one. The hub works kind of like Google Earth. You can spin the globe around and pick a mountain range you like then zoom in on that and pick a mountain you like from there, then you get to race down the crazy arcade courses that we’ve built on top of real-life mountains. You could stand on the summit of Mount Everest and look around 4,000 miles in any direction. You can see the view from the rooftop of the world. So imagine if a slopestyle team had a billion dollars to concoct a giant SSX style track experience on top of the largest mountain in the world. That’s what we’ve done in the game, but we’ve done it all over the world."
And @dublife, I dont know. Might want to figure that out, lol
SSX tricky was still the best. Eddie has the best sayings on that one and you have so much more variety because it is multiple mountains. I love the level with the jet turbo boosters so radical.
"Just a quick update that Part IV in our Bringing Back SSX series planned for release today has been delayed. We are hoping to have the video out by the end of the week. Thanks for everyone’s participation in both our Community Event Contest and Character Voting program and we appreciate your patience as we work to publish the next behind the scenes video. Now get out there and rock the vote to help us pick the cast!"
I love ssx, "its all about doing insane o tricks that are possible but HIGHLY unlikely" - quote the guy who made it, he actually said that! but that was back during the first one, when they added skiing, i was stoked, but the skiing isnt realistic because of the 50/50s... like you can not 50/50 most rails, and thats how you grind when you first hop on a rail... they should make you grind sideways, then switch up to 50/50
