Check it out: www.snowthegame.com

SNOW is the first true freeride and freestyle game for skiers and snowboarders. Based on the free-to-play model, SNOW looks to restart the winter sports genre taking the player back to basics refining scale, physics and controls to capture the majesty of the mountain. SNOW is a game for riders, by riders.

SNOW will be released for free later this year and developed according to feedback from the community.

Here's the trailer: http://vimeo.com/29075248

I like that feeling of switch ups and backflips also gives you a feeling of what the trick looks like

How about, if it doesn't end up working, you could still at least release what you have done? That would make a lot of people happy.

Holy shit guys this runs on CryEngine. You know, the one that originally pushed Crysis, which was a kick-ass game with unbelievable graphics.

Awesome!

If that's genuinely gameplay screens I'm majorly impressed.

Also sorry I know this has been mentioned but I can't remember, is this pc only? or ps3/xbox? I remember one game similar to this being talked about for consoles.

If it's pc only I'm fucked/

Only PC

I'm fucked as well... On another note those mountain screen shots look sick. I'd love some gameplay videos though.

All in-game... we can't afford to fake it with pre-rendered stuff.

The game is being developed in CryENGINE 3 so we're targeting PCs at first. With the new consoles around the corner, we're paying attention to our options there. Mac isn't supported just yet, but hopefully will be by the end of the year.

Will try put something together this weekend for you guys.

If you have a Mac (I have a MBP laptop) it's possible to play the game with bootcamp. Not ideal, but it does work!

I have a MacBook Pro also. I've never used bootcamp. We'll see though.

If it's CryEngine, I'm sure it'll have custom map support. Build your own! :)

any chance of ability to lower the resolution to something that 64mb of graphic memory would be able to handle? haha

Rather than the park sticking out like a site thumb, will you guys make some normal runs, steeps, groomers, with nothing but an open space, and maybe some woods in between runs. It'll just make it feel like an actual ski area c

Parallels is better. Sadly you 'have' to pay for it, but it's so smooth. You can have mac apps and windows apps open in the same screen. It's like your mac just runs windows stuff as well...

The only problem about a macbook pro is that they're really not built for games. The integrated graphics card is shit... I've heard rumours of a hack where you can install a pci graphics card, but it would void your warranty so I haven't looked into it any further.

Performance wise bootcamp is way better and the game will perfom way better. Parallels runs two operatingsystems at the same time which uses a lot of resources and eats up the RAM. Bootcamp is much better because only 1 operatingsystem is run while you game.

That.

If you have feedback, I recommend you head over to our forum and post something. We are a small team and can make changes easily if there's something you don't like the look of.

Noobfromdk is correct. Gaming is WAAAAYYY better on BC. Parallels and VM Ware are awesome, but take a toll on your RAM and pretty much screw your processor over *if* you don't have a multi-core chip. Which then, is still slower. :P

But go for it. I'm sure it will run just fine on lowest settings on Parallels. Keep in mind, Cryengine 3.......lol
